Well I'm glad you are happy with what you built, I dont' have any experience with Vista, I do have about 2 hours or online research, and a few 1st hand accounts of use with it in comparison to XP. From my understanding Vista is missing a lot of promised features that 6-9 months after it dropped still haven't been patched. It also eats up double the RAM of XP's heaviest install, and its lagging behind in drivers and performance. Congratulations on your success, you would appea

What they need to do is dump the abusers, and the bishops that moved these abusers around the church, and any cardinals who approved of the bishops dealings. They also need to get on the side of the law and

There hasn't been anymore point to remaining in Iraq as an occupier this summer then there was last year or the year before. The generals and civilian leadership are continuing to say the same things. From the generals it's, we need more time to develop the indigenous forces things are working in Iraq, progress is being made. From the civilians, we need to give the generals all the time they need, we need to support them until the job it done.(Even though we have been retroactive not p

I was told some people use he because in the bible is says a woman was created from a man with his ribs and thats why men have one less rib them women. So when you assume I was being cute, I point out the difference. My assumption is that men have always had a dominate and controlling role in societies in the past and up until recent past and the thought of a female God would have been out of the question when the bible was being written or other religious texts. As for my sup

Interesting perspective. I can't think of anybody who would choose Vista over XP though. Could you elaborate over why you have Vista instead of XP. Came with a new comp and you were forced maybe?

Reply to Lots of passion, zero solutions in Politics JoeUser Forums

The Democrats have changed their position of opposition to the war in Iraq from one of being a rush to war, then an unjust and wrong war to be fighting, now it's end the war that cannot be won. Clearly at this stage, there isn't a military solution to the situation or it would have been reached already? Five years of Iraq under occupation has accomplished a lot of the goals we were sold on in order to get us in there, Get Saddam, Get the WMD, Setup a democracy <br

Reply to WINDOWS VISTA? in Personal Computing JoeUser Forums

Windows Vista is taking some serious hits in the gamer circle, the tech circle, and the budget/value consumer circle. About the only way it could be doing worse is if Microsoft decides to invade Iraq and occupy it for half a decade. As for Vista, great concept but poop poor execution. If things don't run better, faster, smoother, and easier what is the point? Vista has a problem with being a mutant with 6 different versions and many of them not any better significantly then WIN XP. <br

Appreciate the tips Think Aloud, I have a few questions for you about your statements. First if your assertion that God is a "he", thus a sexual identity, would that mean that God reproduces? Would it mean there are male and female parts to God or that there are more then one, a male or a female? Also, One of "his books" I am curious as to why you believe that God wrote a book? Nobody has ever seen God, or talked to him in person. Let me ask you why it is always that

Reply to Lots of passion, zero solutions in Politics JoeUser Forums

If you are saying Democrats have it wrong because their solution to the problem in Iraq is to leave I think you have it wrong. I've been on board with that solution for the last year and a half. A lot of Americans, when they wager the rewards of staying in Iraq vs what it is costing us and will cost us if we leave... Rewards -Slow steady progress towards a more unified state, that will fall apart when we leave if we leave, ever<B

All a bunch of statements and questions that have no real answers and mean different things to different people. It's amazing the degree people let their lives be directed as well as influenced by these things.

Reply to God Talking to People in Religion JoeUser Forums

Nobody can scientifically prove a God exists, or does not exist right? If I'm wrong, and God exists, why doesn't he come down here, and fix this place? Why does he leave it up to us to fix this fucking mess the world is constantly in? Being all powerful you think you could whip this world into shape in a few short weeks? If he does exist why is his only communication through world leaders and crazy people? Why doesn't he just make his communication more pronou

Reply to The Sins of the Father in Religion JoeUser Forums

"Unfortunately, religion is made by man, and is thus susceptible to man's sins. That is the way it has always been, it is just more recognizable today due to the increase in communication." Some would argue, true believers would argue that religion was made by God through man, yet I would argue and agree that of course religion is man made. Some people don't get that. For those of us that have that insight or belief we are the ones with no faith, the people that just believe

I wrote this about 6 months ago, and guess what. OIL is back around $70-80 a barrel again. This time supposedly from high demand, (summer Northern Hemisphere duh) in addition to that, the supply is low, and supposedly the supply chain is bottlenecked because of refinery capacity. I can tell you today was the first time I've heard a national news report on gas prices in a while, and the price is you guessed it the new equilibrium of $3 a gall

I see a lot wrong with a lot of religions, certainly there is no shortage of improvements they can all make. I would suppose that in the coming decades and generations that mankind is going to largely outgrow religion as both a staple of society as well as a guiding factor in peoples lives. A lot of people see the way others pervert their religions for the purpose of greed and destruction and fewer and fewer younger people live strictly by

I'm sure you can find evidence that says anything.

Reply to Would I recommend the military to someone considering it? in Politics JoeUser Forums

I'm not in the military very much for the reason, that I don't like being told what to do, but prefer to do the telling. Anyway, as for being interested in hearing anything negative, that's life, you have to be willing to hear, as well as searching for problems to troubleshoot no matter what your occupation is. In the military, ignoring that reality, doesn't cost product, or money, it costs lives, and thats worse in my opinion then avoiding troubleshooting of a regular civilian job.<br
