Ok, what specific events concern you?
There are quite a few. Most of them concern churchies trying to force
their beliefs on the rest of society. I'll bet with that hint, you can
figure out one or two of them.
Don't Mormon's and Jehovah's Witness' fall into that category?
Let's see if you have any smarts...
I don't care what religions do (within reason) within their houses of
worship, nor do I care what believers do in their homes. I am only
concerned when those religions or believers try to shove their beliefs
onto my secular society. This is NOT a Christian nation, a Jewish
nation, a Muslim nation, et cetera. I don't want a bunch of Christian
nut cases determining what is taught in public schools, when "life"
begins, whether we should have abortions, what sort of stem cell
research is ok, what stores can remain open on Sunday, et cetera.

Yes, it is more about political agenda than compassion or logic... I
get it...
No, you don't get it, either. In the examples I have given, people of
a certain belief are trying to shove their sect's religious doctrine on
others. It has nothing to do with compassion and it certainly has
nothing to do with logic.- Hide quoted text -

May I suggest that you focus on those that are trying to force their beliefs
on you and let society decide for themselves?

Make all the suggestions you like. I will work, however, against those
who are in the business of shoveling their religious beliefs onto society.

One of the many attributes that distinguishes us is that I care about
people who are having a hard time making it in this world, and you
don't. I believe the words on the Statue of Liberty, and you don't. I
believe I am my brother's keeper, and you don't.

When I was a very small child, my mother read this poem to me:

Abou ben Adam



Abou ben Adam (may his tribe increase!)

awoke one night from a deep dream of peace,

And saw, within the moonlight of his room,

Making it rich, and like a lily in bloom,

an angel, writing in a book of of gold.

Exceeding peace had made Ben Adam bold,

And to the Prescence in the room he said:

"What writest thou?" The vision raised its head,

And, with a look made of all sweet accord,

Answered, "The names of those who love the Lord."

"And is mine one?"said Abou, "Nay, not so,"

Replied the angel. Abou spoke more low,

But cheerily still, and said, "I pray thee, then,

Write me as one who loves his fellow men."

The angel wrote, and vanished. The next night

It came again, with a great awakening light,

And showed the names whom love of God had blest,

And lo! Ben adam's name led all the rest.


- Leigh Hunt


I took that poem to heart. I care about my fellow man, and I do what I
can to help those who need help.

You care only about yourself.

You are the dictionary definition of conservatrash.



Here is an example from yesterday. I was downtown DC and happened to see
a Home Depot. I stopped in because I needed some hardware bits and
pieces for a project. It was very cold outside. The parking lot was full
of men looking for work, a shape up, as it were. Most of them were
Latinos. These guys, mostly illegals, I am sure, will do about honest in
the way of work to make enough to feed themselves and their families.
It's been cold for quite a while, and you could tell most of these guys
had not worked for a while. I had some cash on me and after talking to a
few of the guys, I simply handed what cash I had to four guys who said
they had had no work in two weeks.

I'm sure you would have walked right by them and muttered something
derogatory.


I think my name will be on the list.

But you...they'll bury you face down...because that is the way you are
going.




Sure you did, Harry. Another lie.

Vic,
I thought the cases were fairly standard, and you just ordered them
based upon what motherboard you wanted to use and how many bays you
wanted to use.
Is there more to it?
Depends on your needs. John said something about going inside and
messing with them. If you're going to do that a lot (I've built
about
10 PC's) you want a case that makes it easy. If you're not, you
won't care, except you still want a quality power supply, the power
supply often being bundled with the case.
I prefer big honking cases that allow real easy parts replacements,
substitutions.
Here's the one for this computer, and my others are big variations..
I have plenty of work space.

Very easy to work with - massive and well thought.
I did a newegg review, but it looks like they discontinued the case
and the link is an "open box"
Think I paid $120 unpowered.

Vic, here's a question for you. I've tried two different USB hubs.
When I
plug them in, Windows starts looking for drivers and can find none.
I've
tried going back to the XP reinstall disk, but Windows can't find
drivers
there either.
Any ideas?
Anyone can jump on this, BTW.

***** Hope your day is better than decent! *****
John H
The two hubs you tried are they the same brand/model? It's hard to
believe
that the generic USB drivers included with XP will not work.
Are the hubs USB 1 or USB 2?
Try the hub manufacturer's web site for driver information.
Different brands. I'm thinking that maybe the driver files in XP may be
bad. They're USB2.
Maybe an upgrade to VISTA is needed
WOW! There's an idea!
Let's see..;.new card, $10.99.
Vista...$143.00
Vista frustration...Priceless.
I like the card idea better.

Soooo, who is actually having problems with Vista here. We have it all
over the place here on dual boot systems, and friends are running it,
no one has jumped out a window yet (pardon the pun. Anyway, anyone
here "running" vista actually had or having any problems cause my
expereince for basic home business and home computing has been fine?
Sorry if I did not read the bash threads, but any or you having
problems that you can report?

=========

Scott, it was just another Reggie/John troll to try to stir up an argument.

They never used it. They believe everything they read from folks having
problems with it because either they upgraded to it and their computer is
not designed to run it OR they are too stupid to figure out how to run it.

The computers in our house are running WinXP and I will not upgrade to VISTA
because they were not built to run that OS.

My son's laptop, however, was built to run VISTA and it runs flawlessly for
him.

Let the trolls go..............they are just trying to start an
argument........following Booger's MO.- Hide quoted text -

Jim, if you are trying to be the socially responsible one here and NOT
trying to pick fights, why the constant name calling?

YOU are accusing someone of name-calling, "**** boy"?

YOU are the anonymous bitch, Sally. Grow a pair and people can address
you by your name. If that's a problem for you then you really do have
something to hide from.
