Who can tell anymore.. "warning your computer is not protected"

Yeah, I'm not sure if you know you yourself just misquoted the passage. It's 1 Timothy 6:10a "For the love of money is _a_ root of all kinds of evil." There is plenty of evil that doesn't involve money. The passage goes on to say people eager for money have "peirced themselves with many greifs" a.k.a. Mo Money Mo Problems!
Granted, it would be easier if you didn't have to take the card out of your wallet, or a woman could keep the card in an outside pocket of her purse. you could just hold your wallet/purse up to the reader. I know proximity card readers for keyed access are easier then swipe cards in my experience. However it's not worth the risk of fraud that will be out there. There is the chance someone could figure out how to get your number. Or even easier would just to be set up a machine you can carry with you, then bump into people, hitting your scanner, and makeing fraudulant purcheses of $100.
man, am I out of it. not a single blue, and my system is no small thing... about 20 some odd devices and counting... I had one cool blue led on this cheap phonic amplifier I bought for my church... It was a monitor amp so it put iton a rack on stage but always turned the rack to face out because the blue led had a pretty drastic effect makeing it look like we had the latest gear... It was as if the blue light was the source of power that glowed so bright and filler the room with fabulous sound.... little did they know it was the cheapest thing in that rack.
I frankly don't understand anyone haveing any problem figuring out any gui environment. We have a windows 98se and a linux mandrake kde machine. My Wife uses the Windows machine normally, but she has no problem sitting down at my machine, browsing the internet, playing her favorite mp3s or streaming radio station, or even pulling up one of her ms documents in oo so she can print it on my printer. She knows you just pretty much start the application, look for what you want to do in the menus and click away. She is not very computer savvy, but thats the whole point of a gui right? Sure, installing an os is a little tricky to understand, but the process for windows and most linux distros are the same, the only difference is that in linux you decide how to use the hard drives, which is pretty dumbed down if you don't know how to do it, and then picking out your software is a good thing to learn during an install. You know you have a lot of software on those disks you can install any time you want to. Drivers are sucky in any environment too and require knoledge or luck just the same. Ever try to install the latest ati drivers in win98? It is hell! You basically have to search the internet for someones instructions they have graciously posted somewhere, then you have to find the files to delete, the registry keys to delete or change, then each driver must be individually installed (video, capture, remote, etc..) in the correct order, restarting the computer after each one. Sure, Linux could be easier... Windows could be easier too.
in opera all I see where it looks like the articles are supposed to be is a black square that does nothing when clicked... I gues if they limit the article viewing to people content with their product already, they don't have to worry about any negative opinions on the articles...
I'm not sure I go along with you on the whole everythings an entertainment console and nothing is a business pc. Any os IBM used would have been capable of spreadsheets and probably decent word processing which were the keys to makeing pcs invaluable to any business of any size. True, apple may have had much more dominance in this world, but IBM was going to face business in the direction they were headed, weather it payed off for them or not...
This is going down in the hennepin county court, where I live too. I had the week off work, I should have gone down there to check it out for a day... I could have brought a linux pda to take notes...
We have problems with being on spam filts at my church. Aparently some other costomers on the hosts server are spammers and mail from the server is blocked from several local isps. If they use those dumb blacklists I would imagine these same isp's would block our websites too.
The pastor at my Church did a sermon today about christmas lights. Martin Luther was struck one evening walking outside how the light from the stars shone through a tree on the ground. He was so spiritually moved he tried to recreate the effect in his home by tying a candle to his tree. Being a bit obsessive, he tried to make it better by placeing MORE candles on the tree. He thought it was so cool he placed his tree in the window of his house and people all copied him Some other Christmas ties to light are the direction, growth as well as illumination of both good and bad. If you are a Christian you will know what I'm talking about.
I am an electrician so I know what I am talking about. If you grab hold of the black wire with one hand and the red wire with your other, you should be able to eliminate your main problem.
P.S. Don't really do this.
I don't know if it's just my distro, but I have had no luck with usb on my linux (mandrake 9.1) When I first installed the distro, it configured my usb wheel mouse as a serial 2 button. Lately I have been forced to run mouseconfig with each rebootto get it working. Also, when I plugged in my usb pda, this handy kpilot icon appeared on my desktop.. groovy right? Well it was handy for starting kpilot, but not handy for configuring it. I had to manually configure the ports for it which ended up takeing hours of research and guessing. If linux knows when I plug in the pda and recognizes it enough set up this handy icon, why can't et share this information with the application for auto configure? Why does the application have no information on where the heck the port for this thing would be? I had this same experience with a digital camera yesterday, only I haven't had the time yet to actually figure this one out. The icon ops up on the desktop, but the application dosen't see it. I know there are logical explainations to all of this however I do see it all as a big annoyance. On a side note, I am amazed at how great the auto configure is for knoppix. Why isn't this true with a large stable release like Mandrake?

Is it fast enough to run all the latest spyware, adware, and viruses and not slow down your solitaire game?
I dunno... In the commercial, they have lots of food in the cart when they are auto checked out.

yeah you took the words out of my mouth.. I also came up with opera, flash, and j2re.

The last option woulden't be there, only deep in the OS there is an option to use the "classic" rebuttal style.
I hate every child that ever had a pony.

What was that ,8,1 all about anyways? I remember you had to type it to load certain programs but I never knew the reason.
