You want to fight piracy, don't give people a reason to pirate. Thank God there's someone out there who realizes this. I can't tell you the number of times that I have downloaded a piece of software that I saw on sale in the stores for $60, to find out that it's crap. Even with the demos that publishers put out these days, you can't always tell what the quality of a product is by a demo alone. I have always been a firm beli

My boys (9 and 8)...well, they help best when they go outside to play. Heh. Truer words have never been spoken. Moving sucks. I've moved regularly about every two years for the last ten, and it seems that we accumulate more shit with each move. This last move consisted of driving

Brad, I asked this question in your last thread about handles, and you never gave me a response. What exactly is a 'handle'? Is it Windows reserving memory for later use by an application? Sadly to say ObjectDock (free version) has a problem with (I'll call them) 'handle leaks'. It'll start out using a few hundred handles, but if I leave it running for several consecutive days, handle usage will be10,000+. Restart the app, and it releases

But it sure would be nice if it were still opt-in. I would prefer to be the manager of my own retirement income, that way I have no-one to blame but myself if it's not around. This is one government "entitlement" program I'd love to see axed in favour of personal investment. As far as I've seen the government isn't exactly a shining example of budget-conscious money management. -- B

Reply to Why Bush may not get my vote in Republican JoeUser Forums

In terms of voting, you can't "do without" or go to the store and buy ramen. That's where you're wrong. There's ALWAYS the write-in vote. Just because some political party picked some dude who can raise millions to run a campaign doesn't mean I can't vote for my dad if I don't want to. There's ALWAYS

Reply to Why Bush may not get my vote in Republican JoeUser Forums

If you go to a cafeteria and you aren't crazy about either choice, do you just go hungry, or pick the one that is going to be the most satisfying of the two? Yeah. Peas or liver? Hmm, both are disgusting...nope...rather go hungry and see what they have on

Reply to Why Bush may not get my vote in Republican JoeUser Forums

If you don't like either, why vote for either? not a great choice no, still gets my vote over Kerry though. It's statements like these that puzzle me. "I don't like Kerry or Bush, but Bush is less worse, so I'll vote for him." Why not vote for someone who isn't bad at all? If there's nobody left, why not vote for nobody at all? My dad voted for Schwarzenegger in the California recall elections because "he was going to w

Reply to Social Security Propaganda in Republican JoeUser Forums

As far as I'm concerned, take my Social Security away. By the time I'm old enough to use it, it more than likely won't be there for me. By the way, you can stop taking my FICA payments out of my paycheck as well. I'm sure I can find better ways to invest that money for my retirement. -- B

I like a nice round well-defined ass on a woman. I like curves. Big breasts don't really do it for me, I like my women proportional. And I think the male figure is just ridiculous looking for all intents and purposes. Women are so much nicer to look at, in general. -- B

Reply to How about the 30th of February, 2005 in Politics JoeUser Forums

The prospect that Al Qaeda might seek to disrupt the U.S. election was a major factor behind last week's terror warning by Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge. Ridge and other counterterrorism officials concede they have no intel about any specific plots. But the success of March's Madrid railway bombings in influencing the Spanish elections—as well as intercepted "chatter" among Qaeda operatives—has led analysts to conclude "they want to interfer

Another example of a social double standard. Racism is a two-way street, and I frankly can't see how portraying a black person by changing the color of one's skin with makeup could be deemed 'offensive' (aside from whatever characterizations might be being made.) -- B
