"Hummingbird SOCKS 8.0 Description

"Hummingbird SOCKS Client supports both SOCKS V4 and V5."
Brothersoft Editor: SOCKS is a proxy mechanism that allows client PCs to
gain full access to hosts outside their local network while providing a
high degree of security for the local network. From its earliest
implementation, SOCKS has been considered to be primarily a firewall,
protecting local networks from unauthorized access from outside the
network.

The Hummingbird SOCKS Client works in conjunction with SOCKS V4/V5 servers.
When a SOCKS client application makes a request to a host outside the local
network, the request is redirected to the SOCKS server. The SOCKS server
authenticates the user, authorizes the request, establishes a proxy
connection, and then transparently passes data Between the inside host and
the outside host.

There are two major versions of SOCKS: SOCKS V4 and SOCKS V5. Hummingbird
SOCKS Client supports both SOCKS V4 and V5 for Windows NT/2000 and Windows
95/98/ME. You can free download Hummingbird SOCKS 8.0 now."

That's fantastic! Good find :-)

Try this one too. It's not as professional but from a socialist, it's
the best that can be expected:

I dunno much about socialism, it's a mental disease ain't it?

But I found this on an English newspaper yesterday:

"It is the case that many people - often with good, but innocent,
intentions - support socialist ideals without always realising what it
invariably leads to. It is vehemently anti-liberty and as I said
earlier, socialism is akin to a religion: its True Believers coerce
people into subjugating themselves to its belief system and when that
doesn't work it becomes progressively more dictatorial and fascist.
Secret police, disappearances and all the rest of it. Those at the top
of the social pile are hit first: the intelletuals, educated, free
thinkers etc because they represent the greatest risk to socialism
which demands total control and obediance. That is what happened in all
of the countries I listed. The explanation is simple: they wish to
remake society in their own image and quickly realise that this can
only be done by destroying the existing society they inherit.
Destruction begins slowly at first, then gathers momentum.
Think of Pol Pot and Year Zero - everything before year zero was to be
wiped out and replaced by a new model of society in his image. The
killing fields were the result. Among others, Chairman Mao slaughtered
'the spectacled ones' because they were usually the most educated and
capable of seeing through the sham ideology. Scapegoats are always
identified to blame for all of the nation's ills and to justify the
ruthless cleansing that happens.
It is invariably true that people who subscribe to socialism (and other
mass movements) are those in life who feel poorly about themselves,
feel like failures and have never achieved in life what they feel
entitled to. This creates a sense of jealousy and dislike towards
successful people which can verge on hatred. Along comes socialism
which provides the opportunity for revenge and settling of old scores
by wealth redistribution etc. In the UK, look at the hatred in the
faces and words of most trade union bosses against the companies they
operate in. A principal aim of socialism is to destroy economies to
make people dependent on the state."

No, you have a mental disease. Socialism appears to be anything you choose
it to be, and socialists to be anyone who points out, you are a nutter.

Was it wrapped around your fish n' chips? Did you get all frothy and worked
up as you read it, forcing oily cod down your gullet, and getting it all
over your little toothbrush moustache?
