i'm starting to think that you have to live in a particular country for a while to even have a prayer of understanding their take on life and the world. judging by the message board over the past two months, i suspect that we've got a lot of compadres here that have never lived for an extended time outside of their home country.
i'm going to be making a few when i get past this current project i'm doing at work. good ones are hard to find, and readability is a problem. some of the PPC theme sites have a few good Christian themes. as an interim, you can go in Dashboard's skin select window and select . The Dashboard default icons & tools will will be used with the theme picture as background. Static is also right - it's fun to get SkinMe and try to make your own. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/ima
i'm right behind Fuzzy L. ( if he gets vaporized, i'll demorph and flee).
a Zen technique from my surfer days: if someone offends you, just mentally visualize them "takin' gas" on a 30 foot wave at the Pipeline. It works surprisingly well.
"I base my beliefs on facts, not innuendo, hyperbole and lies. What do you base your beliefs on?" (Tinkergaloot). We all base our opinions on facts in the frame of our own perspective ( we tend to see what we're expecting or wanting to see, and not notice the rest). An impartial arbiter from Jupiter would conclude that some of your "facts" are no more factual than mine, due to the inherent and pervasive biases ( nondeliberate selective blindness) built into all of us, and our finite observatio
i don't use landscape, but i know that you'll need one of several software progs that do the trick. Hopefully a landscape user will show up and leave a link or two.
Thanks for the input JAFO, and i do understand your points. anyone who lives in the world we have now knows that the various (alleged) national opinions do matter in varying degrees. the problem is often one of perspective: when you see your country at the top of the terrorists' hit list, for whatever reason, and a dove from a "safe" country starts pontificating on the finer moralities of your wanting to strike back at the terror network and sponsors, it's extremely hard to listen with
funny yes, but misinforming. Joe doesn't get off the hook for his crimes just because John and Jim sometimes commit the crime as well. Iraq signed an agreement which stopped the gulf war, and US troops were withdrawn from Iraq on the condition that Iraq would hold to the agreement. Iraq has not kept the terms of disengagement, and reengagement and resumption of hostilities is the legal remedy available to the US under international treaty convention which has been recognized and follow
you're 10 days older than my wife. Boy, you really are errrrrrrrrrrr amazingly young!
left Texas in the sixties to go to Vietnam. Came home to Texas with some emotional reservations in the mid-nineties, thinking i would be back to seeing things that i don't want to see. was greatly pleased that many things have indeed changed in a very positive way.
was mistakenly beamed to the right state on the wrong planet 12/10/48. was smart enough to know i could not attain immortality, and wild enough to live as if i had attained it anyway. before you start smirking at the delivery date, i must point out that i would easily best 90% of you at the 100 meter dash. and perha
Sheesh! Dr. bkb ordered an MRI of JAFO's brain, not his backside! we need to raise the cognitive level of this thread - approx. 3 feet.
initial results show an overly enlarged southern hemisphere!
Dr Bangkokboy orders an MRI of JAFO's brain, knowing that the results will be interesting.
i'm always on the computer at work or home, unless i'm in Bangkok, or fixing everyone's busted car in the neighborhood.
paxx - re: no action on the slaughter of the Kurds. The no-fly zones we enforce were set up to stop Saddam's planes and helicopters from bombing and gassing the Kurd refugees, which they were doing with great gusto. I call that doing something. Every time our planes patrol the no-fly zone and get shot at with Saddam's surface-to-air missiles they're "stepping up". @shu: we didn't go to Afghanistan to stop starvation, or warlord infighting. And why should we have to be responsible for e

avoid fanatically all apps which want to redirect system resources and monkey with the OS kernel "to improve it", live long, and prosper.
MB - the service packs have been promised for millenia but never delivered, so it's better to install Wife 1.0 with the Prenup 1.0 uninstall wizard.
thanks all!
Static - thanks much. i missed that point in the readme. i'm looking at my more compressed jpegs and yours, and they look equivalent, but my ipaq isn't hi res color. that skin really turned out superb, with treetog's magnif graphics, and your DB adaptation tweaks. i think you're right about the delay, and i'll probably use your jpegs now that i know that nothing is wrong. Tell us again how to make magic S - i thought i remembered, but couldn't get it to work! gracias <img src="http://imag
the emoticons were really meant to augment and narrow the interpretation of expressed words. ( is that blatant barb serious criticism, or just good-natured teasing ?) words alone are woefully subject to misinterpretation in direct proportion to the reader's paranoia quotient, and the degree to which he takes himself too seriously. not that i've ever felt insulted, mind you...
my 5 new jpeg backgrounds shrunk from 23k to 11k apiece when i read them in and stored them back out. the originals must have been very dense images. and a bit too much processing for my older, slower ipaq CPU.
just cured my quirk. the 5 backgrounds are jpeg files. i read them into an art program and stored them back out as jpeg files, overwriting the old files. put the skin back on the ipaq, and it now works perfectly. something in the way the files were initially jpegged caused the images to take a long time to resolve every time that the background had to be changed. now nearly instantaeous. Oh well, one of life's mysteries. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/smile.gif" border=0 AL
mrbiotech made some good points, especially about batteries. my ipaq 3765 is an awful charger hog, though i've heard that the newer models were better about that. to work for extended hours on the go, i have to run with the backlight turned off. i made myself a special DB skin which looks good and is very readable with no backlight. i'm itching for a newer paq with a bigger battery.
