I take some comfort in that, and also in the fact that the i965 is a very nice printer indeed. If you're after a flexible, reasonably fast inkjet printer with excellent photo quality and CD printing, then either of these, or their little brother the i865, will do the trick.

Unless you live in the U.S., in which case you'll have to settle for the i860 or i960, which are cheaper but lack the ability to print on CDs.

Also, Canon have now announced the i9900, an A3 (up to 13" by 19"), eight colour (Black, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Red, Green, "Photo Cyan" and "Photo Magenta" - what, no blue?) printer for around US$499.

Though it doesn't print on CDs either.

From Merde in France and The Dissident Frogman to Sabine Herold of Liberté j'écris ton nom, we are hearing the voices of French men and women who understand what is going on in the world and are willing to speak up for what is right.

And another one: from "Gabriel Gonzalez", an analysis of French foreign policy at Winds of Change.

And the question came:

Now when news and papers here in Europe are all full of this and millions protest against terrorism, it makes my blood pressure going to the sky. I wonder; how can journalists and politicians still be so stupid that all they can say is those same old phrases all over again? "We must fight against terrorism..." And people go to the street....

If only someone would be interested of what these "terrorist" want really??? A piece of land perhaps? Maybe individuality and respect as a human beeings? How difficult would that be arrange? Huh???

You ask what the terrorists want.

Well, they've stated their desires explicitly many times. You just have to listen to them.

They want Israel destroyed, and the Jews exterminated.
They want America destroyed.
They want the entire world to become an Islamic state.
They want to wipe out freedom of speech, freedom of association and freedom of religion.
They want to subjugate women, to turn them from human beings into chattels.

This is not supposition, this is what they have stated, specifically. This is what they do in their own societies.

Another 200 people have been murdered, and 1500 more injured, with the aim of imposing their views upon the world.

Why do they hate us?

They hate us because we have built a successful society, where theirs has failed. Because our women are independent citizens. Because we disagree with them.

They hate us for our freedom.

They say this themselves. Read any of the dispatches sent out by any of the terrorist groups. Listen to the sermons being given in mosques across the Islamic world.

In their view, we can convert to Islam, be enslaved, or die. They give us no other choices, but we can choose instead to fight.

First, I'd like to welcome four ladies to MuNu, every one of them both beautiful and brilliant:

Annika of Annika's Poetry and Journal
Sarah of Trying to Grok
Ilyka of Ilyka Damen
Debbye of Being American in T.O.

We also bid farewell to Cherry, who has decided to retire from the blogosphere to pursue other interests.* Cherry, we wish you all the best and know you will do well in whatever you choose to do.** Thanks for being part of MuNu, and remember that you're welcome to come back at any time.

* I checked her contract, and it turns out that she is indeed allowed to do this. Drat!

** Unlike that slacker Collins.

I'll let you know what it's about once I've read it, but that won't be until after I fight off this cold. Although the other symptoms aren't too bad, it has sucked all the life out of me and reduced my brain to cottage cheese in processing power terms.

I was asked today how I was and I replied "Not bad" in a cheerful tone. My excuse for this obvious lie is that I was on drugs at the time. The drugs have since worn off.
