 Heard on the global guerrilla discussion board:  "systempunk"

Sounds like a reality-based replacement for sci-fi's "cyberpunk."

 LOL.  NPR.  The Russian tax bill for Yukos was greater than the company's total revenues during that period.  NOTE:  New well drilling has been halted across the country due to new uncertainties (this is an attack on globalization's investment and people flows).  It is also likely that the efficiencies in the oil sector that Yukos introduced will fade.  What to expect even without the global guerrilla threat:  much low production from Russia in three years than we see today.

 Question:  When will Oddpost and Yahoo Premium support Firefox??  IE is just tooooo buggy to use anymore.

Robb's second law:  the longer you use Internet Explorer, the potential of a daily blue screen (BSOD) approaches 1.

 Target:  Corporate Psychology  Market disruption is a new topic.  I was totally amazed that there isn't anything in economics, military history, etc that explores the topic (if you know of any, please point it out).  I am working on a framework to explain how it works.  Hopefully, my work will serve as the touchstone for further exploration of the topic, particularly since it is so important to our success/failure in the our first epochal war of the 21st Century.

 Reuters.  The US ambassador to Afghanistan:  "(They) still love us there," he added, saying U.S. forces have an approval rating of more than 70 percent among Afghans, higher than that of the government led by newly inaugurated Afghan President Hamid Karzai. Also, fortunately, global guerrilla tactics are relatively ineffective in a rural backwater like Afghanistan.
