[1:15 p.m. ET, 8:15 p.m. in Libya] French planes fired on a Libyan military vehicle Saturday evening, according to the French Defense Ministry.
[2:32 p.m. ET, 9:32 p.m. in Libya] A U.S. defense official said the United States is poised to launch cruise missiles from warships in the Mediterranean Sea, and that these strikes would target Moammar Gadhafi's air defenses. The United States is prepared to "defend its allies flying over Libyan airspace and enforce the no-fly zone," the official said.
[3:45 p.m. ET, 10:45 p.m. in Libya] The U.S. military has launched its first missiles in Libya against Moammar Gadhafi's forces, a senior Defense Department official said Saturday.
I have a family member there I'm so worried about. He wrote me 4 weeks ago that he'd send a longer email when things settled a bit, but no word since. I know the internet is a huge issue, but the lack of communication is terrifying.
We shouldn't even be involved in the conflict over there, aside from the fact that our government already spends 54% of out tax dollars on the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. We're spreading ourselves a bit thin, aren't we, and for oil? It's insane.
it sees that most of the wars we have fought in the middle east have been do to with some sort of oil producing country. so like Cancer said it has to do with oil and to be honest it sickens me to think that the U.S. government has been so greedy

This is the clip Daisy which is on my profile. It was in real player format, which isn't used much today. I finally got around to converting it. It's on YouTube now, so it's more accessible and shareable.
This reminds me of something which I would like to share. Loke E. Coyote. If you listen to their songs, they are really funny, especially Witch War. :)

I've more or less ignored Twitter over the past 5 years. Today I decided to try it out. Boy is Twitter a nightmare...
This is a site with 4.4 billion page views a month. They have 190 million users. They have 351 employees. You'd think they'd be well run, right? After all their website is simple. I could write the entire Twitter website in about a week.. And I'm just one guy, they've got 351 employees.
After signing up, here's the nightmare I discovered commonly referred to as Twitter:
1. I couldn't upload a picture. No error message, no clue as to why. I was using Firefox so I switched to IE. Picture upload didn't work via IE either.
2. While using IE, EVERY twitter page had a run time script error. Every single page. Switched back to Firefox.
3. I was randomly logged out twice. I got a message that read something like: We know something went wrong.
4. 5 minutes later I got a message: Twitter is over capacity. I couldn't load any Twitter pages for 10 minutes.
5. My picture still isn't there. I thought maybe it uploaded and Twitter was processing the image. Kind of like how YouTube processes videos that you upload (videos aren't immediately available). However, YouTube lets you know what's going on. Twitter doesn't give you ANY clue.
6. I follow people, they don't show up on my "following" list for 5 minutes.
7. Switched to "old" Twitter. Found out what the Timeline feature does. It shows the most recent tweets from the people you are following. Switched back to "new" Twitter. The Timeline pane is totally blank. It just flat out doesn't work.
8. My picture shows up! But it's cropped funny. They square cropped it and part of my head is gone. WTF? If they insist on cropping, can't they crop like other sites do? IE, let the user select the crop area?
9. I reupload a new picture that I have square cropped ahead of time. It'll be another half hour before it shows up... And heaven forbid Twitter clue in the user at all about what is going on in regard to the file upload.
This website SUCKS! How can a company with so many programmers operate like this? Why do the users put up with it? It reminds me of MySpace and how poorly run that company was (nothing ever worked right, and it still doesn't). But Twitter is exceedingly easy from a computing standpoint. I know I could create a clone site in about a week, and EVERYTHING would work right.
I gave up on twitter simply because it was so slow. There's hardly anything to it but it was so absolutely bone achingly slow for me.
I'm on a damn fast connection too.
Ridiculing a website really isn't my thing. I won't lie, I couldn't write something like that from scratch (maybe) but I just don't like the layout and I feel verbally cramped.
Most of those 351 employees are probably friends of the owners of the site, which means they really don't have to do anything constructive. Maybe you should send them a resume.
It's crap. I don't get it. It's like shouting at people from a street corner. Not sure why their servers can't handle the load without the Fail Whale flying by half the time.
LOL you gotta know VR is the best social networking site, right?
I find all the others lacking in some way to be honest. VR is great because of how its set up - the people who use the site are given creative licence, and the different ways that one can participate mean that there is something for everyone on it.
All that is down to your dedication and the folk you have on your team.
I use Twitter with a business account but I never log into it. I use RockMelt as a browser for my FB and Twitter - it pops up any Tweets of people I'm following without me ever having to go to Twitter directly.
Furthermore, I linked my FB business page to Twitter, so anything I want to say can go on FB and automatically posts to Twitter when it is submitted.
I avoid Twitter. It is 50% spam or ads and 50% people not saying anything relevant to anything...
