Re: Racist Obama Doll?

The intention of the Obama sock-monkey doll may not have been racist, but there is a history of Jim Crow era cartoons portraying African-Americans with exaggerated simian-like features. There are plenty of examples at the Jim Crow Museum at Ferris State University in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

That monkey's simply adorable, just like those charming guys who paint their faces with shoe-polish and sing and dance!

Nah, its a grass hut. The game's been bombed back to the stone age!

@Tim-- Goats will eat ANYTHING. They have been known to munch on tin cans. I'm sure a slug or two has found its way into a goat's digestive tract...

Hello Kitty should have been there. She would have kicked ASS!

The villain needn't be too disappointed. The magnetic field probably gave the damsel a tumor.

In some cases, powerful magnetic fields can cause cancer. How do you think it happens to those kids who grow up under power lines?

Interestingly enough, the slogan in Nazi Germany for the role of women was "Kinder, Küche, Kirche" (KKK), which translates to "Children, Kitchen, Church." I thought I might get Godwin's Law out of the way early for this one :-)

Re: Prevent Your NTFS Boot Camp Volume From Mounting on Startup

Why not just get VirtualBox (http://www.virtualbox.org/, it's free) and run Windows on that? Then you don't have to worry about the XP partition mounting and you don't have to reboot when changing operating systems.

Now, if you already have that XP partition and you don't want to reboot in order to use it, get VMware Fusion. It costs money, but it's capable of virtualizing Windows off of the partition you created with BootCamp.
