I expected you to be a lot older, a fair bit heavier and much dorkier. I didn't expect you heavier, but I second the older and dorkier...but maybe I'm projecting a bit. Great pics, Ock! One of these days when you're in the states, I'm hoping I can meet up and jam with you. Until then...keep on rockin' the free world!

aaawwwwhhhh com'on. I agree she's bad but there are checks and balances here. With a DEMOCRAT Congress, KFC? Nope. If she has a Democratic majority, she'll be able to pass everything she wants to. She's only got four years (this is not Cuba)if she EVEN gets in. Why do I keep hearing "It's ok, we'll just change all the laws once she's out of office? It's not that simple, folks. It is very rare that we get

OK, here goes! I have a copy of Gutsy Gibbon and want to know if I would be able to install it on an external hard-drive and still have full functionality via my main box? I don't see why not. If you want to boot to it you may want to make the USB a boot device. Another scenario I would try is VMWare. I run Ubuntu and Vista on virtual machines through VMWare. Eventually I plan to take an external HD and make it a big virtual machine. I burned u

but I would rather she not compromise and remain true to her core than to become just another hand me down in politics. I just think we will suffer far more than we realize if Hillary is elected. We'll all sit around the porch saying "remember when we were FREE?"

While it may not be full on banning of something, they do tend to push it out of the way. Debating something is not censoring it, no matter how heated it gets, zoologist. Yes, in times past, there was a ban on the teaching of evolution. Usually what you find now is a demand that competing (?) theories be taught. That's not censorship.

I believe all political parties advocate some for of censorship. I've heard this a lot, but...as many bad things as I can say about Republicans, I cannot recall them calling for censorship of anything. Remember, censorship is GOVERNMENT blacklisting, not corporate blacklisting. And few Libertarians advocate for censorship.

Do you really think she can destroy this country that thoroughly in four years, Gid? How will she do it? Well, all she needs to do is introduce legislation that basically creates a relationship between the US and EU member nations similar to what the EU member nations already has, and we will have lost national sovereignty. The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, a project Ms. Clinton has long endorsed, could be voted into US law, and at that poin

What do you think we, who choose to honor our convictions, have? There it is again. I honor MY convictions, too, KFC. And I do it without lowering my standards. The truth is, I feel there is a VERY dangerous candidate on the horizon. One who stands out as purely and wholly evil, as opposed to the rest of the field, who may compromise somewhat. I believe that if that individual wins, our nation as we know it will be gone and the true church will

Who's demanding? Well, by asserting "I'M not compromising", you are implying that the rest of us ARE. Which is something I resent. Is it direct bullying? No, it's bullying by peer pressure, the same bullying I got a few years back when I mentioned I wasn't voting, and my small group leader sneered and said "imagine if Bush won and NOBODY voted for him"!

Why do I get the feeling you're giving up? Probably for the same reason I feel that you and Dobson are using political bullying tactics, demanding that anyone who doesn't march in lock-step with you is somehow not Christian enough. I guess we each have our own views. I don't want a President who cares what homosexuals do in the privacy of their own homes. I don't want a President who will use a pregnant unwed mother as a political pawn. I want

I will not vote against my conscience. I will not compromise my belief. Well, how about just NOT voting if you're going to split the vote and give Hillary the election? The way I see it, by splitting the vote, you and Dr. Dobson may help bring about a socialist state, then you'll sit back on your hands all sanctimonious like and decry the increasing lack of values...when you COULD have prevented it. On the other hand, it WILL increase Dr. Dobso

PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SCREWING THE WHOLE TIME, stupids! "Telling kids not to do it" has NOT kept "most kids from having sex". Get your heads out of the sand, folks. I agree, SC. In fact, I believe we should abolish all murder laws. People have killed each other since Cain and Abel. And theft? fuggeddaboudit. Realease all convicted murderers and thieves from prison because they're going to do it anyway. Now, I'm saying this acknowle

Congratulations, KFC. You and Dr. Dobson may be Hillary's greatest campaign allies! By making yourselves single issue candidates, you're virtually guaranteeing a split of the conservative vote. I hope you'll be happy when she's elected!

WalMart would be proud. Actually, WalMart pays a fair bit ABOVE minimum, zoologist, and well within the range of standard wages for the retail sector.

OK, I have my answer...It IS a mini-ITX mobo. They made the machine full size apparently because that is what the consumers expect. I may buy one of these machines for a mini-ITX project I have in mind because, frankly, at that price point, it is cheaper than purchasing the components separately. OK, for you geeks out there, what I am looking at is case modding an old, bulky laptop into a "modern" laptop (the only sticking point right now is the power supply)...but I digress. F
