Linda, was acting as an employee, of Aladdin, in my opinion. Aladdin was presenting a product when they had her concert. They were not, presenting a political product, they were presenting Lindas' Music. The time for Self promotion and fostering Her beliefs, was on her own Dime.

I've got one Kitten (Puddin), that will eat just about anything, from peanut butter cookies, to green beans. He's a Maine Coon cat. I've got another older female (Prissy) that is a Pounce, Junkie. I mean to tell ya, Pounce is like Kitty Crack, you mix that with playing with Pipe, Cleaners and she has a full afternoon. I have yet to recieve a live present from my one of my Pride. I have witnessed the death of some mean water, bugs though. That is not a pretty sight. <img src="http://images.stardo

I am also constantly getting scratched up. I got scratches ontop of scratches. My wife says I look like a patchwork quilt sometimes. I invariably am in the shortest route to whatever my kitties happen to be going after at the time. I have 12, so i end up as part of the race track quite frequently. Not to mention Top Springboard, Launching ramp, and quick turn around. And let's not even begin to talk about ba

I had one of my adopted cats, do the same thing. I rescued "Baby" from the Engine, compartment of a brand, new Pontiac. It was wedged in there so tight, I spent 2 hours taking parts off to get her out. All the while, doing this in a Gas Station, parking lot. The car belonged to the store manager, and she had driven in to work, forty miles. That poor little cat had been in there all through the drive and the afternoon. when I got her out, she ate me up, like a chainsaw, and I swear just l

Reply to So...gonna go see Farenheit 9/11? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I guess that's another reason as to why I will not go to see this movie. I do not want to go to a film that will make me think about, current political, economical or any other issue to be at hand for the day. I go to movies to be entertained, and lose myself for a couple of hours in something other than the real world. I don't want to be convinced, educated, coerced or informed by a media I am paying to entertain me. Heck it's getting so that I don't even like the dang commercials, creeping

Reply to Ants. in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I used to work as an exterminator, in Texas and dealt with several variety of Ants, and can tell you this. There is no real stopping, ants. Ants are mainly after two things, Food and Water. Try keeping everything as clean and spic and span as possible. They work by following a trailblazer (scout) that lays down a chemical trail left by the scout, so once you see a trail, kill, them and clean the trail all the way back to their entry point into the house. All you will really be doing is fight

Reply to Thinking about getting more space for my laptop in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I personally have 3 external drives. I love them and it makes it easier to move stuff, from machine to machine. Also if I have to help out someone, do some work on their machines (bang, zoom) there ya go, space is availabe. What I find is best is to ebay some external usb 2.0 empty external cases, and add my own devices. I evangelize external components, now, to my whole family and friends. It sure beats forking over $$$, over and over again, to put, the same parts into machines throughout the h

I feel for you also, I have twelve Kitties, myself and dread even the thought of one of them passing away. I know a new Cat/Kitten cannot replace your loved one, but rest assured that a new fuzzy deserves your love and attention. When one of our loved ones crosses the Rainbow Bridge, they are allowing you share your time and love with another deserving companion, and you can rest in the knowledge that you will be united with your Fuzzy friends, one day. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/image

Reply to The EVIL ATI TV Tuner Card... in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

oh, yeah and the software I use is Intervideo's WinDVR v3. The only drawback to that software and the WINTV card is that it is channel specific, like hooking, a VCR to a TV. Channel options are 3 or 4, and I have to make sure the shows I want are ed and active in the channel window. Hope this is informative.

Reply to The EVIL ATI TV Tuner Card... in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

If your purpose is to watch TV and PVR stuff use the Hauppagge usb 250 model, it works great. I also have one of their older WinTV Cards, and it also works flawlessly. ATI capture cards suck. They are proprietary, and do not fumction well, with most capture utilities. I PVR using the WINTV Card $40, and it works like a champ. But you need some horsepower under the hood, to do it and get smooth results. I use a PIV 2 GHZ and 512 Mb Ram, and a 60Gb HD, the Hauppagge WinTV (pci), Hercules G
