  1. That's funny!!! But just remember: "You can't always get what you want.....But if you try some time.....you just might find....to get what you need."
  2. ... incinerate $3.29 a fu$#ing gallon!!!! (another tribute to W)
  3. Redownload it and set "Desktop" as the receiving place.
  4. Way before your times. but when I hear nature, I call up my old friend MR. Natural This is 1966 Lower Manhatten, Venice Beach, LA,.......San Fransisco. The freedom was flowing as were other things; Don't Bogart that joint, my friend................... You had to be there! Joe
  5. Any photo editor. Painst Shop Pro, Photoshop, etc. A free one is Irfanview
  6. uh oh. I'll being playing this at 3 am now.
  7. Bowling for dollars. (most of you are probably were too young for this, but it fits)
  8. Not to break up the flow, but that would be silicone, not silicon. Although lot's of people with silicone implants do work in the silicon industry. Back to the topic at hand.................... Rose Colored Glasses: naiveté
  9. Sorry, but that cracked me up. Being a plumbing contractor for thirty years and a computer repair enthusiast for the last 5 years, I'd highly recommend that you do not use a torch to "solder" circuit boards.
  10. Racoon. (Ralph and Ed's social lodge)
  11. Most of the big brands now put the OS on a hidden partition. Dell even has the nerve to charge you $10 if you actually want a restore disk. I bought a Compaq desktop last Dec. as a Christmas gift for my S.O. I checked it out before I gave it to her and found out about the hidden partition. Back to the store it went. I ended up buying a locally built PC.
  12. ... Almond..... (Cher and Greg Allman an item [i thought for the longest time that he was one of the "Almond (sic) Brothers"]) Nut......(back to Bono)
  13. Very nice avatar Marty.
  14. How old is your laptop? I use an Inspiron 8200 as my main computer and haven't had any problems with it yet. Probably going on 4 years old? I have installed more ram and a 120 gig hd, but that's because I wanted them. Also going to put in a 64 MB video card just because. Maybe I'm lucky?
  15. ... pro bono..... as in works for less than peanuts Sonny (Bono) ....as in "conservative republican that worked to produce extremely bad music and tv".
  16. Sounds sad. However we all know that M. Dell is foremost a capitalist, not an advocate of bloat-free computing. And as Dell has had to sell their entry level computers for $350 with rebates INCLUDING the os, I can't say I'm surprised that they have to find other means of profit. That being said, I wonder if a complete search of anything "my way" and individually deleting the results would solve the mess? (Hopefully you'd unselect Frank Sinatra's song ) The writer's objection to bloatware also included Internet Explorer. Sorry, but if you get a Windows machine, you are going to get IE.
  17. I just saw True Romance a few nights ago on HBO. Written, not directed by Q.T. Great cast! Good movie.
  18. LOL. Actually this place is about 45 minutes from the interstate with it's assortments of fast food places. So it's possible that he could have been hungry. But I'd probably opt for some wild berries or maybe try my luck in the trout stream rather than biting into someone's nose. Joe
  19. I wouldn't be surprised. Although the drug of choice these days would more than likely be crack and not peyote. Crack's the cause of the severe brain fry that we are seeing more and more.
