Any good sources on turning my pc with an ATI all in wonder into a PVR?

The "equalizer" (if you want to call it that) here is terrorism -- if civilians here start dying in scores in retaliation... public support for this dries up pretty fast.
I'd go along with the concept that every attack in the US will lead to more US public support for killing who ever attacked us, their supporters, their families, their dogs, burn their lands to the ground and salt the earth to show that if you come at us, we'll remove every trace of you from this earth, and all you'll be remember for is someone that made the mistake of pissing us off.
Korea and Vietnam were power struggles between the three super powers to test equipment and fighting resolve without having to commit to global nuclear warfare.
China knows nukes vs nukes isn't a benefit to China, but china's army vs India's army might work if they think India wouldn't go nuclear right away. We could have used nuclear warheads to turn afghanistan into a glass desert, but we're smarter than that and realize that its individuals and madmen in afghanistan, not the general populace. Goal is, catch the ppl responsible, then lock them away or kill them.
Bin Laden is an engineer/architect by training and he's a warped example of too much money with knowledge. The changing attitudes towards the way of life that he wants to maintain is due to the people looking at the way they live, comparing it to the US and deciding that they like toilet paper, CDs, computers, short skirts, and women with their faces uncovered.
Currently I'm finalizing an Excel version of what will be a program that my co. will be producing later this year. Began in excel as simple method of rapidly producing reports with inputs, and over the last year has turned into a 15 MB ssheet with a 4 MB report generated. Main reason we've kept it in excel all this time is that everyone in our office can work with excel and can easily comment and change formulas (except where I've had to use VBA functions to simplify or do multiple iterations w/o using the Solver func).
What this does is take a 12 month history of data and run nine different simulations based on input data and produces an overall project cost, operating cost, and financial outlook for 15 years. About 6 man-years of work in the making and still more to go to make the final standalone program. This year we'll port it to VC/VB. Would have started sooner but last year accounting wouldn't pay for the compiler. Main thing I've wanted to be able to do is the database functions of VC++/VB as every time we've come up with a new feature I've had to redesign our layout and output.
