Better ideas require better arguments. And who can make a better argument for the destruction of America and the rise of Islam as a world government than Allah Himself? Nobody, that's who.
It is time, once again, to check in with the god of our enemies as he tracks Western Civilization's compulsion to off itself on a daily basis:
Posted by Vanderleun at November 19, 2003 9:04 AMAnyway, come now, Jews! Come, let us cleanse our palates of western decadence together with a few glorious quotations from today's news. First:
"Dear President Bush, I'm sure you'll be having a nice little tea party with your fellow war criminal, Tony Blair. Please wash the cucumber sandwiches down with a glass of blood, with my compliments. Harold Pinter Playwright"
And second:
"Germans attribute [Michael] Moore's popularity to his mirroring of what is popular thinking in Europe, particularly after opposition grew in France and Germany to the US-led war in Iraq. . . . [A] fan said he gave legitimacy to negative images of the United States and an outlet for frustration with Washington's policies. 'He reinforces all the stereotypes we have of America,' said Stefan Baumann. 'We can point to him and say, see, even Americans are saying that about themselves.' "
Kufr, if this is the famed "European open-mindedness" that Allah has heard so much about, then fucking sign Allah up. Actually, Allah has already signed up: Recently he felt himself doubting whether the Jew really is a baby-eating subhuman species, so he watched "Jew Suss" again and his doubts evaporated. The film, like, totally reinforced his stereotypes. That is European logic in a nutshell, infidels, which is why you are so profoundly silly to be talking to them about fighting a war on terror. To be sure there are still a few pockets of free-thinkers here and there, but even among the holdouts it is only a matter of time. Look at it this way: Where else but in Europe would a government convene an emergency cabinet meeting about anti-Semitism and conclude it by giving $8 billion to Muslims? Where else would your president be compared unfavorably with fucking cancer? Oho! It is going to be another long century, isn't it, kufr?
At WWDC, I listened to Apple representatives make some excellent points about taking the time to build a 100%-compliant Aqua application, and I think all developers need to look beyond the code and listen to what the folks at Apple have to say
Posted by: Roger at January 12, 2004 5:33 PMSo far in these articles, I have only dipped a toe or two into Aqua's pool. I have covered basic aspects of building an Aqua-compliant application, including the building of photo-illustrative/3D application icons. Now it's time to address other components of our Mac OS X application.
Posted by: Stephen at January 12, 2004 5:33 PMThe simple fact is that, when all other factors are equal, where will consumers spend their money? I believe that in the long run, the best looking, easiest-to-use applications will also be the most successful. I think that's why Apple encourages developers to write programs that are 100 percent Aqua-compliant.

Posted by: Bertram at January 12, 2004 5:34 PMTo help you become a good Aqua citizen, Apple has created a few guidelines. I've put together a brief overview of them, and we'll be tackling many of them in the months to come.
Posted by: Roman at January 12, 2004 5:34 PMTo put my money where my mouth is, in each new article I'll build a hypothetical application that illustrates the guidelines I'm covering. Today's application is called "Paint" and will be based on the photo-illustrative icon I created in my last article. Together we will complete each step, and by the end of the project we should have a well-designed, 95%-100% Aqua-compliant application. I'll leave some room for personal preferences and the fact that Apple changes the OS every few months.
Posted by: Eleanor at January 12, 2004 5:35 PMBy building an application that takes advantage of Aqua's many facets, you help ensure that your application will not only look good, but have a chance of becoming a raging success. After a new user clicks on the icon of your program, the first thing he or she sees is the application interface. I know that when I review a product, I am very critical of its visual design. I usually have a short time to learn the new software, so design and ease of use are very important. Aside from those who marvel at the beauty of the command line, most users tend to react the same way.
