[quote]cordelia0507, one thing to you need to remember is that WB 7 is still beta and some of the final features, which may include those of previous WBs versions may not be 'turned on' yet. [/quote] just wondering how anyone on the outside would know what is to be (or not to be) in the final version. seems legit to voice an opinion if one has a preference???
gmc2
so this thread leaves me wondering, "and, what does one do until then???"
congratulations to all and especially to Xiandi and Madcat.

I'm confused. how did you all get the higher ratings when the blurbs indicate 5.9 is the max? from MS "The scale of the Windows Experience Index ranges from 1.0 to 5.9. " I'm using vista 64bit with SP1
good luck with a dose of speedy recovery.

[quote]TAGES is turning me off to dawn of discovery as well...[/quote] I have the game and like it. I think too much is being made of the TAGES issue and you're missing out on a good game if you liked 1701.
[quote]Just the fact that they need someone else to explain the interpretation of the law to them, instead of being capable of doing that by themselves is proof of that.[/quote] it's just not exactly like that and I guess I am unable to state my beliefs well enough so that you understand what I mean. You're right and so am I so, let's hope that neither have to find out which works the best. [quote]I'm beginning to wonder what yours is. I am not that familiar with the US system
[quote]The best alternative, while also not perfect, is the panel of judges. These are professionals, who know the intricacies of law and cannot be swayed or hoodwinked into passing judgements based on their own preconceptions of the person standing trial or the case being processed.[quote] I'll agree that they are professionals but that does not make them infallible or unbiased under circumstances that impact their social stature or preconceived notions of right or wrong. by your lin
before I say this, I want you to realize that I also fit the remark. talking politics with some of you is like talking to a rock. of course we can't be wrong, that would shake up our whole fundamental believe system. heaven forbid that the light bulb should come on even for a momentary bit of insight.
[quote]A trial by jury isn't fair in any way though, because the panel hasn't studied law. Because they did not actually study it, they are not in a position to determine wether or not an action is illegal (except on a very rudimentary level).[/quote] your use of an absolute to comment on an a fundamental right of our legal system only goes to show your ignorance of that process. I will agree with you, in part, that there are instances where the bad guy/gal gets off for the re
[quote]Trial by jury is an inherently unjust and biased system. Instead of a panel of competent, unbiased judges, you have a bunch of civilians who are probably bored, allmost certainly prejudiced, and would like to get it over with as soon as possible. Yeah. That's justice.[/quote] by your profile it would seem that your life experience is quite different than mine. here, just because a judge is a judge dosen't mean they will be unbiased. Even our supreme court has voted al
[quote]was that movie Click?[/quote] no, but funny you should mention this movie. the original "Click" is an X-rated graphic novel. and yes I have a copy and it is hot. and I do wonder if they pirated the idea from the book???
[quote]So, conclusion, based on answers in this thread... It appears to me that everyone is ready to knock the guy but no one is prepared to spend the time listening to him[/quote] sorry to break in on this three way conversation. beck is like the deranged guy on top of a soapbox shouting about "the end of the world". why in the f**k would I want to listen to him or anyone like him. I've seen enough of his antics to know he's a shit disturber. never thought I would use
[quote]We could also assume that piracy offers the chance to test a product without buying it, which might result in a sale that wouldn't have happened otherwise, which ultimately results in more profit for the creators of the said product. Is that theft?[/quote] ah, the other side of the coin (so to speak) I don't agree with piracy and those that do (IMHO) are theifs and low lives, but, I'm not going to lose any sleep over the fact that you're a pirate. a person's ina

[quote]What the hell is wrong with you people?[/quote] now, now, we're stepping off the rational deep end with that one. my friend's dog is named "dillwad" ergo all dogs are named "dillwad", c'mon on. all americans are not alike or hold the same values, the remark is prejudicial and without merit or fact.
[quote]USA: #1 for porn sites in general, which is completely illegal in states like Japan unless you censor the private parts (stupid law but hey, it's their business)[/quote] Japan is actually a country but... the stupid law is actually something left over from WWII.

I mean, I don't really know, would you please enlighten me.

[quote]Most of this stuff is on record, right before your eyes.. and still.. its as if anything and everything said about them is somehow negated by 'you just dont like Obama" or.. "thats just crazy, your a wing nut!"[/quote] ya think? [quote]We have a president that can't get the number of States in the Union right, on national television, reading from a prepared speech.

okay, I'll bite, [quote]Cash For Clunkers[/quote] what don't you understand about the program. the premise was to turn in fuel guzzlers for cars with better gas mileage. what then, to resell the gas guzzlers and put them back on the road thus negating the base purpose of the program.
