Any govenmental job outsourced, should be eliminated. Any governmental person authorizing outsourcing or advocating it should be fired or impeached. I remember reading this along time ago, and marveling at the boodoggle it was concerning HIPA. Makes ya wonder what the Brownshirts at Homeland Security are really doing, besides wasting money on an infrastructure plan for the failed airport TSA, and encouraging tthe facade of Terror Alerts and preparedness while footing none of the addition cost do

If I could sell my Daughter I'd be rich. Lord knows she's been putting the wife and I through the ringer this year (Junior Yr.)But seriously, I amglad to hear from any of you and follow some of these practices myself, and am glad to learn of some new ones that might be helpful, to me or any others that might be reading.

I think because everyone wanted to get away from the older style legacy type .ini extensions and the way that windows processed them, that the whole extension gamut is being run anyways, all they are, are ini files of a sort. a simple way for a program to parse, and store a configuration or store a transient state information, or information customized to a specific use. plain and simple.

Jafo, I will agree to disagree, on certain parts of this thread. After they passed the "Bono Act" I gave up on it all, anyways. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonny_Bono_Copyright_Term_Extension_Act Wikipedia Link and a Darned good read if I might say so...

wulfn1 that is refreshing to see, in its' honestly and I appreciate the feedback. I am newly married (well 5 years as of august), so all my experiences have been during reletively good times or times when the economy didn't matter. The Tween years I call them.

I understand what you a trying to get accross, 100 percent right, and ideally in a perfect world, black and white issues are adhered too, and rules are followed, but you live in a flawed, egotistical, imperfect society and human nature being the way that it is the world is flawed. The best you can do is try and keep yourself as straight and narrow as possible, and give a nudge to others when you can.

Whereas I come in from another side of the argument. I agree that stealing is stealing, and Warez is wrong, but it can generate sales of some products.

I'd say the guy is brilliant! Seriously, it looks like He's hacking the MSStyles. The only other GUI enhancer I can think of, would be EFX, by toasty, mian and the Gang from SkinZ.org. Now the only MAJOR Concern I would have is that in all of the 300+ Auctions this guys has sold, that someones, SkinZ are possibly being ripped. The smart thing to do is to contact the guy and find out directly, if He's legit then he would cooperate more than likely, if He doesn't then it's "Peanut Butter n' Jelly

Creating a theme, that has 140+ Icons(Tiles) in it, and watching it languish in a catagory that gets no posted "Newest Additions." I can see the logic behind not posting all of the ObjectDock Items individually (to Newest Additions), as they would run the catagoy additions, crazy, but an entire theme is not a slight accomplishment, and should merit some kind of mention. The inequalities afforded to the Dock Themes, should not be equated with dock Items (individual.) This negates theme work, or r

There was a case where, someone was stealing hub caps, really bad, so a concerned citizen booby trapped his hub caps with razor blades, and sliced the would be thief to ribbons.
