Not sure what you mean, either. If you are talking about the boot screens, you have to replace a graphic in the kernal dll with some sort of resource hacker. A good descripton of how to do this can be found here: http://www.littlewhitedog.com/reviews_other_00027.asp Be aware that this can kinda void your service agreement. If you follow directions you'll be fine. Hope this helps.

WytRaven: no need to snicker and berate you for scripture, the rest of your post will do. All the points have been taken up on the "US is going to war tomarrow... dang..." string. I figure if you wanna know people's opinions on "your" ideas of the war you can read the 1000+ posts there, but honestly I don't think you want anyone else's opinion. Your ideas about Nagazaki and Hiroshima are insultingly racist and historically ignorant, showing just how important 'truth' is to your argument.
I had a gay roommate in college and he said stuff like that all the time. I never heard more painfully intolerant derogatory words uttered about gay people than he uttered about his peers. I also tutored the basketball team, and if I had ever uttered a breath of the 50's style racist stuff they bandied back and forth I couldn't have had to put myself back together with duct tape... I don't like that I could be called white-bread and cracker endlessly, and roommate could call me stuff
Jafo: Would depend on the person and why they are motivated to look. I have found that people who assume the government is corrupt can function with a decent level of objectivity. No one who has taken the most menial western civilization class ( everyone here )would be shocked that there is government corruption. It is, frankly, a natural law... we are beasts of self-interest. Give someone a Disney-esque idea that the world *can* be free from corruption, though, and suddenly
Is there really any difference between people who refuse to believe anything critical of their government, and others who would believe *any* awful thing that made them feel justified in their paranoia? There is a reason that 'conspiracy' is worth millions to those that foment it. Many people feel threatened, frightened, alienated by things they disagree with, and the government is the only one they can blame. Who else? God? In the end, you either find a scapegoat or deal with the f
Paxx: I'll restate. The Iraqi gentleman that tipped off the US forces did so *because* she was being tortured. Was it with a car battery? I dunno, but I'm not gonna ponder what repeated slaps in the face feel like when you have broken vertebrae. Official statements have been made that the bodies found of US soldiers showed signs of torture. If you doubt official statements, just go on and doubt it all. You'll win ever arguement. I know you are trying to be objective, but the fact
paxx: naw, its the nation to the south of New Europe, eh?
lmao @ paxx. the fellah can take bait, can't he...
paxx: she was being tortured in that hospital. The man who tipped off the US forces did so because she was being slapped repeatedly while suffering broken vertebrea. How long are you gonna keep up this stupid pretense that the Iraqis aren't monsters to POWs.
( re: #10 ) Sham-pag-nee? OOOH, tht stuff French winemakers think no one else can make... nm.
paxx: The inspectors hadn't made a dent in what they needed to do... in 10 years. The mighty, unarmed Hans Blix was supposed to be able to find mobile equipment and material in an area the size of California? It worked in South Africa because they were *begging* to be inspected. Iraq was laughing at him. UN inspections are like suggesting the police public announce that they are scouring an area for drugs only to later drive around in a bunch of little white trucks knocking on doors.
Maybe it *is* Florida. Isn't Nevada the moon?
Sweet I have come to some big conclusions about skinning and other related matters. I'm gonna chime in soon myself, but in a different sort of way.
ummm, yeah. In a trench, with Iraqi troops... at Baghdad international airport. I think that would tie with 'Hong Kong emergency room' as the place I would least like to be.
Peter Jackson is directing the King Kong thing. If we are lucky he'll use Massive to write in hundreds of thousands of linux-crunched orc invaders and some really, really ticked-off trees...
paxx: non, non, non. There are lots of french movies that don't get remade. A recent example is Brotherhood of the Wolf. Sure, some do, but if they don't remake ours in France it is because most of ours suck. Anyway, they owe us big for Jerry Lewis. Actually, I saw a really good spoof article the other day where France had revoked their support for Jerry Lewis because of the war and the US government was offering Bulgaria 30 billion dollars in aid to hail him a genius. <img src="ht
yvonne2222 : and if you had witnessed the suffering of the Iraqi people for the last 30 years, I'm sure you'd understand why many are greeting us with open arms. Until the US wanted to attack them there was little interest there, I would assume. No, the European perspective doesn't really mean anything to me, because it leaves a very evil human being in power to do as he wishes. Worse, *some* European opinion wants him to win, and still others want him to win so that they can make lots
Thibaud: /nod
moshi: "always good to keep the public in fear"' that is exactly what posts like yours are intended to do. If you can't make your point about oil, make some spooky comment about how the eeeeevil US government is out to get the world. No problem here, we're smart enough to handle it. You say the US is out to take over the Middle East and I laugh at you. Sadly, many people who *live* in the Middle East just see it as another excuse to martyr themselves. I don't think anyone realizes
you wanna see a paradox of eeeevil? I mean far beyond Hussein. I am trying to decide if this is definate proof that evil exists, or if it is definate proof there is a God. I'm leaning toward evil, no doubt if I were in his shoes I would feel completely different. Look at the happy newlyweds: http://home.introcom.net/~sidney/tyler/images/langdon/with-roy-34.jpg *sniff* where's my black armband...
moshi: Hard to make the argument that we are gonna control the oil. The UN controls the oil program for Iraq until they control it for themselves. I doubt seriously that after recent events you can make the argument that we can control the UN.
c242: Since *huge* percentages of both countries are opposed to the war, I didn't think there was a need for sub-categories, but if you feel it is necessary I'll try and say something like "German's who both oppose the war and boycott US goods and services" or something like that... If I had a dime the word 'American' or 'Yank' has been tossed at me around here...
Thibaud: The 30 year reference was to the occasional 'The US sold WMD to Iraq" comments that appear. To be frank, I don't like Dick Cheney. I didn't like him as a choice for a running mate and I don't like him as a vice president. I don't think G.B. would have been allowed to run without him, though. To be honest I could make a fairly long list of people I would rather have than G.B. in the office of President. I can't vouch for Halliburton's business practices either. Usually when
c242: The French and Germans are boycotting US goods and restaurants. For heaven's sake the Pakistanis are debating whether to boycott US goods at a governmental level. Stop acting like it is an act of terrorism. There was a recent poll in france that stated 33% of the French population wants Iraq to win this war. There is no shortage of animosity on either side.
moshi: Nice try, but that is an old screenshot. I haven't purchased a copy of Talisman since my oddly excessive consumption of French products started weighing on my mind. In the past, Arkadiy was kind enough to give me a copy to use. Right now I am using Explorer. Where to go next I haven't decided. Whether I decide to purchase Talisman in the future is my own business, just as the decision whether to by Axalis is hashonboat's decision. I'll be mindful of your post, though, thanks
