Who's the shithead that modded this down? Assuming AWG ain't low on Karma, of course. Seriously, though...people that fuck around with the desktop make life painful when they call asking for tech support. More so since I'm not in tech support.

Someone please explain how themes are essential to the computing environment.
I've had the same theme for years...black background, white text. Before that it was black background, orange text. Long time ago it was green background, whitish green text. And my first real theme was white background, blue lines, grey text.
Your suggestion that all arabs have their arms amputated strikes me as offensive and highly insensitive. Racially motivated violence will not bring the dead back to life. Sure he didn't mean weapons?
The article mentions trouble with the noise...now, in rural areas it may not be a concern so it might not be addressed by current technology. I know that there are headsets that regulate noise by creating a 180 degree out-of-phase wave that sums with the incoming sounds to produce silence...could some sort of similar technology be employed to at least dampen the high frequency emissions?
if the substantial reduction in child mortality throughout Iraq during the 1980s had continued had continued There is a tremendous difference between the discontinuation of a trend and the creation of a trend. Example: If I had kept growing at the rate I did as a fetus, I'd now be the size of a battleship. Trends cannot extrapolate endlessly. (The expansion of the universe a possible exception) Shoot, if the reduction had continued on the course of the 80s kids would be born in negative time...they'd live MORE than a lifespan!
You friggin moron! Of course Bush moved around while Rudy stuck it out! Bush is the US President! His safety is of FAR greater importance than that of the mayor. His job is to coordinate and mandate the response of the nation. He has to pull together the country and the world. The President has a much greater responsibility than does the mayor. Both roles are vital. Bush's is critical.
The article explicitly states that the issue is the mothers not getting the best information for her range of options Really? So what? The Taliban leadership has explicitly stated that Mr. bin Ladin doesn't have the capability to crash airliners into buildings. The hijacker explicitly stated the crew would not be harmed. Saying "this is not what I think" does not make it so.
Speculation on the ultimate weapon at my house settled on countdown controlled blackholes...some small high energy device that, when triggered, creates a black hole that swallows all available matter until a saturation point is reached...tactical black holes, strategic black holes, etc. Of course this is a long tradition, first encountered in my experience with the D&D 'portable holes' and such. Still, the synchronicity is interesting...and now that a method seems to exist all that remains is shrinking the power source. Which is a problem this may incidentally solve. And forget cemetaries!
If you can remember where all the screws go you can take your box down to the major components. Four types of screws to watch for...long thin ones that hold the screen to the base, short skinny ones that hold the plastic parts together, short wide ones that hold the keyboard and pointing device down, itty bitty ones that hold the CPU and fan together. There might be more. If so, remember what they do and keep 'em in a different pile. Disconnect all cords, batteries, drives, etc. If it's removeable then remove it. Pull off all visible rubber covers. You will probably find two on the front bezel of the LCD, maybe other places. Use a dental pick or needle, stab the rubber, pop 'em out. Remove all screws, making note of the function and position of each. Gently pry the shall open. Watch for hidden screws, interlocking plastic tabs, cables, etc. If something isn't releasing, stop! Rethink what you are trying to accomplish. Look for obstacles. Once you figure it out, fix it and continue. Now that the plastic is off find, remove the keyboard and examine the laout of the components. The CPU, HDD, RAM, BIOS, CMOS battery, ports, and soundcard are all easy to identify. Determine if you have an upper board. Likely this is a multifunction board that includes the video processor. It may be upgradeable. Look at the ACTUAL manufacturer of the TFT. Note the part and serial number. With this information you can go bargain hunting...$1000 range screens can be found for $100 and up online, happy hunting.
Pull off the bezel and get the manufacturer's part number. Most LCDs I've seen are made by Sharp, IBM, or Fujitsu. I'm sure there are others, but the bulk of them are sourced from one of the main suppliers. ONce you get the REAL part number you can punch it into google or a similar engine...I found a replacement screen for one of mine online for $120 plus shipping...better than the $900 that Hitachi wanted.

That's because WD40 is a detergent and not a lubricant.

We're sorry to disappoint our users and developers, but their safety is our primary concern.
Steve, Steve, Steve...no it isn't. Or have you changed?
So the new hardware isn't going to get a pretty parade in Paris?
Think of the Taliban as the Nazis. Think of Osama bin Laden as Hitler. Now think of the Afghani people as the Jews in the concentration camps.

Good point. KM was not sent to prison for releasing a virus.
