Kal needs help. There is a calculator right there in the operating system. Ever stepped in front of a female's desk at XYZ Co. and seen the little sign tacked up near her that says: "I HAVE PMS and a HANDGUN, any questions?" Walk softly is the best advice.

Do a search for warp drive, It's in development.

Big Brother is here and his name is Bill. Speaking of which..... For the past few days I have been slowly and meticulously transferring Milady' P4T guts to a beautiful new flat black Antec case. I noticed an odd item on the motherboard, a small area of imbeddedprinted circuitry labeled: BIG BRO. Anyone know WTF that is?

my all time favorite series of Marvel Comics. I'm going to have a great birthday this summer. Is it July yet?

Well, isn't it just duckie? I believe that I have stated it before, We send our resources to every disaster ridden corner of the globe and then they spit in our faces. If this is the example that Islam preaches, then it doesn't bode well for those who practice it. I'm with Jag on this one, pull it all out and use the money for something more constructive or at least on someone who will appreciate it. I have some nails to bite so I'm done on this subject.

Jag, There are times when I feel that you, sir, should keep your negative delusions to yourself and this would be one of them. 'nuff said.

I love it when a genius throws a monkey in the wrenchworks. Just like Napster and Metallica, it's all about the Benjamins. Forget about the global sharing of creative art. PAY ME is not an attractive way to build a fan base. Napster didn't stop fans from attending Metallica concerts or buying their music but, their greedy response to Napster coerced me to have nothing more to do with them and their music. If Mr Ulrich walked up to me on the street and handed me a free autographed CD of their latest album, I would spit on it just before dropping it into the nearest waste container. Don't get me wrong; I am a firm supporter of artists getting paid for what they do and I think the dismantling of commercialized content publishers ( who seem very adept at screwing naive artists out of their rightful dues) would go a long way in assisting the artists instead of the label If Michael Jackson decided to make all of his works available for free download and asked only for a donation, he would quickly become richer than he already is by cutting out the veritable plethora of greedy hands that stand between every artist and those who love them.

Put the fingers back in your pockets please. This "My daddy is better" debate, that six year old children are prone to engage in grows tiresome. No man is without sin and since the governments of the world are made up of many men, logic would dictate that these governments are no better than the men who suppose to run them. Charity, mercy and compassion for our neighbors has always been the shining foundation of the American people. Unfortunately there are those within our governing body who take it upon themselves to lend aid where and when it suits "them", with or without the consent of the peoples of our land. Many travesties have befallen different peoples around the globe over the centuries. What makes today any different?... Global Media that's what. It seems that charity is forgotten in the blink of an eye and charity from America is forgotten in a splicket-(half of a New York second). There are so many unique individuals populating our planet and I detest the very idea that even one of them should suffer any calamity to home and hearth, be it natural or man made. Isn't it funny how everyone passes the tin cup in our direction after every natural disaster? Could this be because we have always been there when our neighbors were in dire straits? Has the world grown so accustomed to it, that it is now expected of us? How many disasters has America suffered through while the world turned a blind eye? And now they're going to snipe about what we're putting in this latest cup? We send food, clothing, equipment and medical supplies after every disaster on the planet, no matter what country it occurs in, no matter what affiliations that country's government has with ours, no matter what religion their peoples practice, no matter if yesterday, these people were burning our flag in the streets that they are now floating in today. Maybe it's time for the world to wake up and smell the coffee.To pull their collective heads out of their collective asses and give props to those who give freely and expect nothing in return except to Pay it forward,

That was utterly disturbing. But at least I now know why Resnig is such an imbecile....he attended the LMAO Military Academy.

You know what? Half naked bimbos aside, the game is actually alot of fun. It's like playing strip Trivial Pursuit. If the girl is a looker, I think she may be trying to weedle her way into her 15 seconds of fame, which is about how long these girls expose themselves on camera. Too many people in this country are still hung up on puritan standards of decency regarding human anatomy. We could delve into a whole new line of debate regarding this subject. "If you've seen one pair, except for the occasional mole, you've seen them all."

It becomes more and more odd every day.The questions raised in my mind are this, 1. What gives a parent the right to sue someone on behalf of a fully grown child? Even though the young lady had a history of mental illness, she was still over the age of 21 and was left in control of her own life. Mentally ill people can not be forced into a hospital unless they give their consent or present clear evidence that they are a danger to themselves or a public menace. Sadly, the public menace part is not manifested until someone is hurt, or worse, killed. Apparently her illness became more than she could bear and the method of exit is moot, If not a Shotgun from the Wal-Mart Sporting goods Department, it would have been something else. I guess her momma was just pissed because of the mess she had to clean up.

Ben, I am running 2x 30GB, 10k RPM Western Digitals in S-ATA mode RAID 0 And it flies. Loading Winblows XP will take around 8 gig of HD space right off the bat. I'm not too keen on MoBos with integrated anything, although my Asus P4C800E has integrated sound (not used) and the Intel Gigabit LAN. The LAN seems to set up it's own internal network to speed up data transfers as well as providing internet connectivity. As for the monitor; I bought a 19" LCD made by Envision. I like it for the dual inputs it provides. IE: RGB and DVI so it's very compatible with any video card. The unit also comes with a pair of built in 6 watt speakers that sound like crap, It's only detracting feature. I have 2 more 17" envision monitors in the house that have performed well for over 2 years. Good Luck with your project.

Happy Birthday Papi, ya old coot. Now I don't feel so alone at the half a century mark. Don't feel bad, not many here have the time to go searching profiles for birthdays. Have another happy and healthy fifty birthdays my friend. Then we'll call you Papi Methuselah

Puh! The girl should have thought about the repercussions of her actions before she started showing off the mammaries. Another frivolous lawsuit by a frivolous woman. *sigh* Now the word hypocrit comes to mind.

Dude, where's my car?

" Get me off this rock!" or "Nothing to see here, next planet." In reality we have been transmitting information into the cosmos for what, 60-100 years or so? I'm sure that if an advanced race received and managed to decipher our television broadcasts, they would delete this section of the galaxy from thier stellar maps and make it illegal to travel here. Sad thought but the truth as evidenced by Jag's response of shooting them above. Wouldn't it be better to just throw the slugs into an ocean and watch them melt?

/ramble mode on: The rich get richer by driving the wheels of industry over the back's of the workforce. They delight in lobbying to have labor laws and regulations changed to thier benefit by slipping a couple of bucks into a politician's campaign fund. Then they list the contributions as tax deductions. Anymore, I think that working for a big corporation doesn't benefit any of us as human beings. I have worked for a few large concerns where, you left all of your rights at the door on your way into the facility and were constantly subjected to "the rules", which they constantly changed at will according to thier present need/s. I began a personal boycott of EA products a long time ago because they are nothing more than a greedy bunch of money grubbing pirates who will screw anyone out of a penny. Employees,customers, developers, it doesn't matter to them as long as it puts cash in thier coffers. One of these days the guys in the ivory towers are going to figure out that a happy workforce is a more productive workforce that will increase the bottom line moreso than playing overseer with a large whip to drive the horses. Bottom line: Serious people run the government and industry and serious people SUCK! If you can't have fun while you're working, what's the point of working? /ramble mode off.

Parallel stories? Sounds likely. Apparently the art of Flim Flam is alive and well. LOL "Greed can be a powerful allie." m off. I have always been of the opinion that most people don't go to college to learn anything. They go there to lose thier common sense. It was however a magic box. It made money. LOL Maybe I should show those stupid greedy investors my magic piggy bank.

I think that headline is inaccurate. Replace the word funding with the word suckers Farewell Phantom, we never knew ye. We never wanted to knew ye. ROTFLMAO.

No Blerm, it wasn't a typo on my part. The news head said the word light instead of the word sound, so I can only gather that someone in their news room thought it would be mildly funny to insert the word light. Maybe the writers at CNN thought it would be mildly funny to stir up a hornets nest by using the sensationalist words in the little boy's story. Boil it all down and it's media manipulation of the public. Jedi mind tricks only work on the weak minded. I'm a Toidarian, they don't work on me.

Does everyone now see why Saddam and his groupies were such pricks? These are the kind of inhumane people that the Ba'athists had to deal with, not that they were much better, and now our military is responsible for cleaning them up. I'm with you on that count SC, KOS.

Interesting. It seems that the dialogue in this thread has proven the point made by Soback in regard to the methodology used in the headine of the story. It was sensationalism to the extreme. The writer could have substituted the words six year old boy with the word student But we all know that the majority of readers would pretty much ignore the story entirely if it was written that way. That my friends is the sad state of the human condition in modern times and the sad state of journalism. Journalism is no longer about reporting the facts, if it ever was, it's about selling the product to the masses and making money. Even if it means deceiving people into buying your product. Would it have been so hard for the officers to just grab the kid? If it were me, a pair of leather gloves and a blanket would have been sufficient enough to remove the glass from the tykes hand. At any rate, the child apparently lived and is none the worse for wear and tear. Common sense would also dictate that the officer/s who zapped the little fellow have not only been admonished by the command structure, but also have been enduring a healthy dose of ribbing from fellow officers. Believe none of what you hear and half of what you see. Eyes and ears can play tricks on you if you aren't careful. Skilled deceivers use this detriment to thier advantage. On a side note; I'm watching the local news last night and the female talking head reads a report on the success of NASA's latest X-43 experiment and she states that the aircraft had successfully travelled at ten times the speed of light.

quote: Originally posted by Supreme Cmdr: About bloody time;hopefully the US courts will follow suit in a similar speedier fashion. I don't think that to be likely, SC. Our politicians take libel and slander to new heights every four years, in every form of media available. Since they control the courts and the laws they are supposed to uphold, it isn't likely to happen anytime soon. I'm surprised that every candidate who has ever run for public office hasn't embroiled thier opponent in constant litigation for libel and slander, which is exactly what mudslinging is. Kudos to the Canadian judge though On a side note: The short blog at the end of that story was most notable; Homeless man sued and ordered to pay &125000.00 dollars for cyberlibel against some corporation. That one begs alot of questions for details.

Jeez... LOL Kiran. When I was young and had no sense I took a piss on an electric fence It curled my hair and fried my balls And made me shit my overalls. Sorry, I just couldn't resist.

quote: Originally posted by XOR: we are all prisoners of money... Prisoners? I think the word Slaves would be a more fitting description. Welcome to the Matrix. It's all about the Benjamins and that is really really sad. Mankind is stifled by the money monster. It divides and conquers. It is controlled by a select few who use it to wield power over us slaves. Marvel may be correct in their assumption of copyright infingement but, wouldn't it be more prudent to seek a licensing agreement, rather than sueing? Negative press doesn't do anyone's company any good. I'm sure the lawyers smell blood in the water and are salivating profusely in anticipation of the feeding frenzy to come. Isn't GREED a wonderful temptation? Ask Avarice. I bet he could give us all some good advice.
