Yeh vista is so good, a whole 10% of corporates are intending to use it. Vista was and is rubbish. I gave it a try when my new laptop arrived, and wiped it after 3 hours, slow bloated and key items moved to silly places.
I had the same problem, so I changed the icon and name of Firefox in all locations to the IE name and icon, and deleted all the real IE shortcuts.
Now when they open what they *think*is IE they get firefox instead.
Most people never notice, the only difference an average user notices is that their favourites are suddenly called bookmarks instead! Give it a try! (-:
A valuable lesson learned grasshopper, I have called the phenomena "technology for the sake of having technology" for years (Back before I even had a computer).
Sometimes a simple plain thing is better than a whiz bang hitech solution. Not a POV that would be popular in these parts though!
Ah, yes Vanising point, the best car chase movie ever. Havent heard of it for years. The only US made movie where they resisited the temptation for a happy bloody ending-if you havent seen it, do yourself a favour.
Clothes made from hemp last for AGES. I had a pair of hemp jeans that lasted over 5 years. Normal cotton jeans last me less than 1 year. Hemp fabric was a little stiif at first but soon softens. Wish they were more easily available!
We have a mobile test for many drugs including MJ in operation in South Australia, based on a saliva test. Thsi isa readily available product apparently.
"There's nothing you can do with a hacked converter box that you couldn't do *better* with a USB DTV tuner"
Well for one thing my USB DTV stick takes a looong time for a channel change, someweher around 10 sec. It is the twin han unit. Does anyone have a stick that can change channels quickly?
Trolling, since when was seeing the truth trolling?
You make a lot of staements which you seem to regard as fact but offer no proof at all, surely you have learnt not to trust the media and govt by now?
Germany has offered to take some of the detainees, so your "None of the European countries who have complained" is simply false.
As much as you may like to draw arbitary lines between official govt killers (soldiers) and "Terrorists", I see no difference in what they do.
Well maybe one-the official govt killers are better armed. (see Gaza, where 100x more have been killed in a couple of week than their enemy killed in 10 years )
Most of the detainess were bought by "intelligence" from afghan warlords, well known to be honest folk who would never lie about anything.
Are you really so gullible?
If there was any real evidence to support your claims that these people "were attacking people, or supporting and financing those that were", they could be tried and convicted of crimes. Hopefully crimes that existed at the time in the law books, not new ones made to fit.
Thank goodness the Bush adminstration, is out as of today.
"Over 50 of the released detainees have returned to the same militant jihadism"
Evidence please-what you dont have any-other than the word of proven liars?

No, it doesnt we are used to your anti Iran rants and total lack of capitals by now moron.
"The reason grass doesn't grow under trees is that the shade from the tree is not good for the growth of grass."
Hate to bring facts into the debate, but eucalyptus
leaves are toxic to other plants, and will kill them off, regardless of shade.
Yes, It does.
Whoa, watch out for colour blind drivers then!
My former assistant was red/green coulour bind, the only way he could tell the colour the light was by position!
We have LED traffic light globes, but in the conventional 3 light traffic light!
The original Life on Mars was excellent, with a fantastic final episode, best ending ever!
I shudder seeing the teasers from the US version that have been playing lately.
Do yourself a favour and the the original!

Ooh yeh, I can think of much worse, like
On the buses.
Love thy Neighbour.
Benny Hill.
Anything by Frankie Howard.
And Great shows like.
Tommy Cooper.
Morecombe and Wise.
Two Ronnies, and Ronnine Barkers stuff.
Good Shot!
Weren't they both Alcoholics?
I seem to recall that Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle, and Socrates himself was permantley pissed. (-:
How about F. Paul Wilsons 'The Healer', great book!

As someone who has driven about 1 million kilometers stoned, I say you are full of shit.

Next red herring?
You sir are the worst kind of fool.
In a free society, the number 1 freedom is freedom of belief. Number 2 freedom of speech.
You quote right wing nut jobs as "references", and defend an evil alcoholic who ruined many lives.
Just another troll, nothing to see here, lets move along.
Thsi guy is spot on mod up!!
True, very true, they are only to blame for 100% of the huge problems and 99% of the small ones.

Sounds like just about anyone is bigger than Steve these days!
Unfortunately, until wireless auto config works correctly, for me Ubuntu is a non starter.
All the linux distros I have tried have had problems in this area, its a real deal breaker.
