  1. ...well anyone who doesn't see the race issues being played out here..or perhaps the class issue..i'm really not sure which it is yet..is looking thru rose colored glasses... this is a delicate matter at best..and i'll try to respect your point of view bubba bob..but as a 56 year old white male..i am not comfortable with what i'm seeing and hearing..and i'm not willing to dismiss the idea that race/class issues have not been at play somehow.. do a little research on the public Charity hospital evacuation...and ask why the hospital staff of the private Tulane hospital(right next door) were eva
  2. ..that sounds like a good way to get "homeland Security's" attention...might be a bit dicey getting back across the border... on another note...rumors will be very prevalent for quite a while...take most of what you hear with a grain of salt...and always confirm the source.. there's no exaggeration in any of this..it's going to get worst before it gets better.. God bless the victims
  3. hehe..Three Dog Night... ya you beat me RV...interesting side note..song was written by Harry Nilsson
  4. You want me to go into that room with all those kids, and fill their every waking moment with a love for learning. And I'm supposed to instill a sense of pride in their ethnicity, modify their disruptive behavior, observe them for signs of abuse and even censor their T-shirt messages and dress habits. You want me to wage a war on drugs and sexually transmitted diseases, check their backpacks for weapons of mass destruction, and raise their self esteem.

  6. ...well i had a 160gb(Maxtor) fail after just over a year(out of warranty by a month)..but it was an internal...from the anecdotal stories i've seen on a number of boards..i seems Maxtor has recently experienced quality issues..as you yourself report.... i've switched to Seagate..mostly because of the 5 year warranty and because they're so quiet..

  8. ..so nice to know you're ok... . God Bless those who still need help...
  9. That works too, if you still can, also get the Microsoft updates for that os. I don't know if you still can or not. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> good point...bearskin might know if it's still supported..but i'm sure the updates are available somewhere..if not on the auto update feature....
  10. Why not just back up all critical data and clean install the os...start fresh...install all the previously mentioned utilities..and show your friend how to maintain his machine...
  11. check here don't think you can add software programs tho...
  12. not sure if i want to say "..ouch..!!" or ..."oops.." or both
  13. Start Here Google is your friend....
  14. well,it couldn't be all those 'nice' things I said about George W.,could it? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> so have you run all your scans to find out what might be "calling home"..?? guess you have just one more reason to NOT go to g$.. that's kinda weird huh..?
  15. Start here it's always a good idea to include some basic info about your system..os...brand/model..etc... what card are you replacing..on board..?? the more info you give the faster/easier someone can help you.. welcome to BestTechie..
  16. ..just a quick update...finally found/made time to get and install the case fan....my local pc club had a nice vantec stealth 80mm with a 3-4 pin power adapter included for $12.99.. installed in about 5-min and can already see about a 8-10 degree drop in both HD temps.. pretty cool...
  17. cool...hope you hang out here also..just keep us informed please..
  18. "100-percent free of fossil fuels, will demonstrate practical ways to break the world's addiction to oil." very ambitious...but little detail as to how that's accomplished or what alternative energy producing sources are planned...or even currently available..?? ..i understand your hesitation TT..but as most of us 50-something folks have learned...a job is a job...and the rents due on the 1st...
  19. Thanx Pete..!! hope all is well with you...
  20. ..great story marty..and why not just turn the hearing aid down..or off...at the concert...hehe...
  21. to the OP...if you look carefully you'll see that this board is better organized than many..and i would suggest that this topic would be better posted in the "Open" section... welcome to BestTechie...
