    Man, I loved 2000 back in the day. But come on, it barley has support for usb 2.0. You honestly think the latest version of drivers will be written for an 8 year old OS? If your old computer does what you need, then you dont need to upgrade it, but that does not mean its the best OS, and theres a lot of issues you will spend time and energy on that you wouldnt have to otherwise.

    I'm using build 7000 right now. And yes, it is clearly quicker than XP, and there arent as many point where it has the potential to stop. It feels very fluid. Its the best windows version yet but a fair margin.

    Yeah, the NEXT version of Windows will FIX EVERYTHING! :-) ... Seriously. We have been hearing that since, what? When was Windows 1.0 beta 1 released again?

    Agreed that a lot of people say this sort of crap, but that aint what i'm saying. I dont think it will fix EVERYTHING, but it fixes a lot of stuff, and I think it will be very quickly adopted and accepted because of the things it does fix.

    And you still expect people to believe it? Windows 7, also known as "Vista+", will make a few minor improvements, but its basic architecture is still there: it will still be slow, and it will still consume immense amounts of memory, and it will still annoy people with security popups.

    Windows 7 runs very well. Its a great operating system, and its much faster than vista. It uses a bit more memory than XP, and a bit less than vista, but ram is cheap. They added a link to change the settings for UAC, you can turn them completley off, or set them to a specific setting with a slider. I personally have them off.

    You will read everywhere that it is absolutely perfect, that this time Microsoft really got it right - but everyone here knows it will be the same old Vista, with a shiny new paintcoat on top.

    All i'll say is try it dude. I'm running build 7000 right now, and really, its really not terrible. The menus and such feel very nice, and shit thats never worked (like checking the internet for drivers in found new hardware) actually works now.

    Then don't post stupid things. I find it is very necessary to call a spade a spade from time to time. Especially when you attempt to associate something that had nothing to do with Bush and where bush was never even mentioned and dismiss it as having to do with him. I mean seriously, you expect not to be insulted after that? It sounds like your bitching because someone gave you what you asked for.

    I wanted a relativly civilized debate, and name calling is banned in that, but if you want to be an asshole, that's fine.

    If that was your point, then why didn't you say it? I mean I still would disagree with it but it could have save us this little your a fucking idiot escapade. Especially when you bring up Bush when he was never mentioned.

    I did, multiple times.

    The embargo isn't spawned out of national hatred. It is a response to statements made by leaders of Iran that directly concerned the safety of the US or it's allies. We take actions not only to protect us directly, but to protect us indirectly through our allies. The embargo is an attempt to achieve that protection indirectly by making it more difficult for Iran to do certain things it claims it want to do. Printers fall into a category of technology and the restrictions are in place specifically to make it more difficult on them. The answer is for Iran to change a few positions and to stop pursuing nuclear weapons and the embergos leave. The answer is not, "well, it isn't working so we might as well enable them". That seems to be what your arguing.

    I already stated my point about this.

    Lol.. A puppet theater. You know, I might believe you if every other government wasn't saying the same things about Iran, if the president of Iran wasn't going around and making threats to the US or it's allies in speeches. I might entertain your thoughts a little if you provided some evidence that Iran wasn't supplying the insurgents in Iraq with weapons at one point in time. Perhaps is you could provide some proof that Iran wasn't seeking Nuclear capabilities for it weapons that would show all of Europe as being wrong as well as the US.

    This is like saying "proove that god does not exist". Fuck that, you have to proove they ARE. The burden of proof lies on he who makes the claim. Anyway I have to get back to work I dont have all day to fucking argue over the internet.

    Its not much of a leap. If you are circulating photos of your breasts, its probably sex related. Breast feeding in public is acceptable because kids need to eat. Kids gain nothing from you circulating pictures of them breastfeeding.

    Please dont resort to personal insults. This isnt a big important argument. My main point is that if people in Iran get PRINTERS - it does not hurt us in any way. I think that the trade embargo is spawned out of national hatred, and does not protect against any real threat, atleast not in this case.

    The entire country of Iran is not a terrorist group. Thats a gross, racist simplification. But thats the way its always been. This shit stretches WAY back before 1995. Remember how everyone in Afganistan was a member of Al-Quaida? Remember how Kim Jong il was going to nuke us unless we invaded? Remember how all russian citizens were hardcore communists who hated our guts?

    Cant you ever see that you are being played? Cant you see that this is just a big fucking puppet theatre for all of us? When are you going to get over your paranoia? The US is not being targeted by every little two bit shithole on the entire planet!

    Nursing in a general setting is not obscene, because you really do just need to feed the kid. Thing is, its different when you take photos of yourself breastfeeding. Then it becomes more about sex, and thats why the banned it from facebook.
