Americans killed in Iraq as of March 09, 2007 is 3,190.
United Kingdom = 134 Other = 124.

As of March 10, 2007 it has been 1427 days since Bush
while standing in front of the banner
which was sent
to the ship by the White House that said,
"MISSION ACCOMPLISHED" declared,
"In the Battle of Iraq,
the United States and our allies have prevailed."
IOW "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.

What does a computer do when it is ready for DST? Is there a big, I am ready
smile?

My computer goes 24/7. Regardless of what time zone it is in.

And the date and time it uses is really number of seconds since midnight
Jan. 1, 1970.

So how can it be accurate, if it's just counting seconds since then.
There have been multiple DST shifts back and forth during that time. Do
you just ignore the date/time?

Hey, just some food for thought (Low Carb Food)

There have been more and more sites popping up that offer free programs,
free virus scans, and other free services. A few have been using your
permission to interact directly with your computer to steal information.

If I came and knocked on your door and offered to sort out all that stuff
in your wallet for free would you give it to me?

Please be careful, an idenity is a terrible thing to lose.
