    It's a bug with nVidia video cards and Fedora.

    Option "HWCursor" "off"

    To the "Device" section. Fixed!

    Agreed,

    If you're a reasonably bright high school student in Kentucky, CAP, KEES, KTG, pretty much gaurantee there's no reason you can't afford to go to an in-state college. They really have worked hard to make sure anyone who gives a damn about school can go.

    And no, the lottery emblem on that page doesn't me jack squat. All the lottery money (the lottery funds which were supposed to be entirely earmarked for education) gets dumped into the general fund. And, of course, right after the lottery was passed, Kentucky went on a spending orgy. They have gradually crept up educational funding. My high school (Bowling Green High!) had a full arts program including studio art classes, music, choir, creative writing classes, etc.

    Like that one contractor that used a FIB agent login to get about the long time it was taking him to get the ok do to simile stuff like add a printer for the new systems that he was setting up. That was all ready running late and over budget.

    Hey, I was just down there giving some concert earnings to pay taxes on a church the other day.
