  1. I tend to agree that it brings out their special aura. What do you think?
  2. Base-9 (bases) Loaded (bottom of the 9th) I hate to answer my own post, but it's been slow here. So............... "Yankees Win!!!!!!!! Theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Yankees win!"

    . . Maybe they did it because they found out you are this guy. I'm all for helping out where I can.........but changing adult diapers? I think I just lost my appetite.
  4. Just my opinion, but this does not sound good.
  5. I'm impressed. Was it Page 6 of the NY Post, or the latest dribble from limbaugh and beck? Either way, my post wasn't open to debate. 'nuff said.
  6. OK. Let me try to understand this. I posted a thank you to a friend that I have known and admired for 30 years. Posting it was a tribute to a great man. It made me feel better and temporarily lessened my grief. What is wrong with that? It was not posted as a political debate. I did not ask for any rebuttal. When I read the few negative replies I became upset and almost lashed back at them. But then I stopped and reconsidered. ....which is something that I learnded from watching the Senator all these years. So to the antagonists I'll just say this. Try reading a few things about the person you
  7. AMEN to that... Note for sethook and Mr.B OK. I should have posted some ground rules with my OP. But I thought it was obvious that this post is a tribute and rememberence page to Senator Kennedy. The man just battled BRAIN CANCER for 16 months. Do you have any idea what that entails? Please show some respect. A LOT of people hold Senator Kennedy in the highest regard, including most of his rivals. Thanks for your understanding. Joe
  8. "wars are the fixit upper of depressions americans should know that" Sad, isn't it? Speaking of Swiss $ accounts, now that they are subject to customer identification disclosure, I wonder if they will suffer loss of business? They might have to start handing out toasters to get customers.
  9. Bush was drunk throughout the Vietnam war. But wasn't he in the reserves? Or was that preserves? In any case, here's a tribute to the "Man who didn't know much".
  10. Senator Kennedy (Chappaquiddick incident information included) George Dubya Bush
  11. More people have died in the back seat of Ted Kennedy's car than were killed in the 3 mile Island disater. LOL. I guess the "no poltical talk" rule here on BT has been suspended. That's fine with me. Let the games begin!
  12. Hmmmmm. I thought that political talk was not permitted here? But now that the door has been opened....... Uh, never mind. I was going to mention something about a former president. One that came in second in a national election but was appointed anyway. His brother being governor of the state where it was decided had nothing to do with it of course. The one that lied about the need to invade a sovereign nation and then invented reasons to do so. The same one that was "re-elected" (is that technically correct...can you be re-elected when you never were elected in the first place?) because the
  13. (sometimes the weather conditions distorted the pic) That would not be an issue here. We don't have weather. It's just always hot.

  15. That's a really nice site. Thanks Sultan.
  16. Thanks for the reply b-dog. Yes the HD is easy to remove. It's just a 3.5" regular IDE HD. The software is LINUX, which I am familiar with. However they do have some proprietary code mixed in with it. I read about the ways you could extract the video from the experts over at Weakness. Actually THEY don't post it but there are links to the guys that do on the WK forums. The last time I read the details it reminded me of a Masters thesis that I had to do back in college. ......Not sure if I want to put myself in that much grief. We'll see. This is yet another example of why I hate DRM. Joe
  17. Thanks for the reply jcl. So are the claims of 3Gb/sec on these drives THAT over rated? Clearly that is what they are stating. If you are correct that would be a huge lie. I'm now starting to reconsider things. The upgrade came about due the click of death sound emitting from the original Sata I Western Digital 80 gig HDD. I thought I would just patch things up with a new big HDD and an XP re install. Since then I bought an LG DVD-RW drive (original DVD Rom/ CD-RW was also fried). Then I figured that I should replace the archaic 128 MB PCIe video card with something a little more recent. So
  18. I am upgrading my older PC. I built it in 2006. AMD Athlon 64 3200 on a MSI K8N Neo4F mainboard. Here's the problem: I just bought a Seagate Sata II 1.5TB hard drive. Tranfer rate is 3Gb/sec. My mainboard only supports Sata I which is 1.5 Gb/sec. I know how to set the jumper on the hard drive to limit the transfer rate to 1.5. But will doing that slow it to a crawl? I thought about adding a SATA II controller card. I have an open PCI Express x1 slot and a few PCI slots. Would the expansion slots just cause a bottleneck and slow the transfer rate down anyway? All advice appreciated. Thanks, Joe
  19. I'm upgrading my older PC and need a few sticks of 184 pin sdram dimm. I'm looking for two or four DDR400 or 333, 1 GB modules of the same type and density. Thanks. Joe
  20. They are the country's most popular general interest magazine? Which country is that? The last time I remember seeing a copy of RD was in a doctor's office around 1965.
  21. Thanks for the replies BT and Mr. Bill. I'm checking out the Dish plans now. DirecTV has been a p.i.t.a. for most of the time. They are constantly increasing their monthly rates. Customer service is non existant. When you finally DO get through after a one hour wait on the phone, they will try to appease your disatisfaction with something like a measly $15 refund. (this happened a few years ago after I could not get NY Yankee games for 5 days while paying an extra $180 for the MLB Network). And if that was not bad enough, they insisted that the refund come over a 3 month period. Apparently th
