I don't really care one way or the other if the Dems win the house again if they can't clean up the mess left by the current round of idjits. You have to admit, nothing Clinton did during his two terms fucked us more than the last six years of Bush and the last 12 years of a Republican Congress. Personally, I'll be happily surprised if the Dems manage to put together a positive agenda rather than just diving right into some vindicitive tirade against the Republicans. Despite what Our Resident Genius (come on, Fairweather, take a bow) thinks, I have nothing against conservatives. I just think the neo-conservative movement has been nothing but poisonous to both politics in this country, to our environmental laws, to our foreign and domestic policies, to our financial health, and to our relations with our allies. I'd gladly go back to the day we only had to worry about some southern dude lying to Congress about a blow job. Yeah. Now, you run along back to Ascensionist, Fairweather, because we know you have to report the goings on over here. What are you, their Boy Friday or something? Who are you trying to impress? P.S. I'd vote Libertarian if I didn't think half their platform was nuts and probably most of their candidates.

Of course, a certain friend of mine would suggest just transfering your documents to another drive, reformatting the drive with Linux, and then dumping your docs back on. Voila. No more WinXP problems. ;-)

What the #$*! Do We (K)now!?

I was running PC-cillin for a couple of years and it did a fine job until I upgraded to the 2007 version. That's when things went bad. I changed over to Zone Alarm the other day and things are back to normal.

I run XP with only 512Mb/1.5Ghz without any trouble. I did have recent problems with an upgrade to old anti-virus software. It was continuously running some process in the background and made doing anything, especially internet access, run noticeably slower, sometimes annoyingly so. You also might try a couple of different anti-spyware programs. None is so good that they catch everything.

Sounds like some of the same turgid academic prose that is in the study guide that my wife is using to prep for the GMAT. Someone in that office doesn't want *anyone* doing well on the reading comprehension section...

Gee, Jay, maybe you'd better cut out the caffeine for the rest of the day. Besides, aren't you supposed to be slaving away in obscurity so your boss can win a Nobel Prize? Get back to work!

"Anyone who thinks the market reacts to who’s in charge of Congress or even the White House doesn’t know economics and is blissfully ignorant of politics. The truth is, there’s not much politicians can do to stimulate or retard the economy. Tax policies have a marginal impact, at best. Bill Clinton raised taxes and the market went up. George Bush cut taxes and the market went up. Supply-siders think tax rates are a big deal. They’re wrong. Democrats could roll back all the Bush tax cuts and the market would be indifferent."

Yeah, I was thinking more of the TS clearances and above.

I suppose it depends on the nature of the job they're asking you to do as well and who the client is. If it's a DoD or DoE contract job, then it's likely you'll have to suffer through having your life examined. If the job doesn't require a gov't clearance though I don't see why they should be allowed to pry. Not quite sure of the law though. But, hey, if you aren't guilty of anything it shouldn't bother you right? ;-) (NB, this is not an opinion I hold for those of you lacking a sarcasm gene)

Driving a big-ass honkin' truck with a turret and missles is easier than developing driving skills. Besides, it also provides a much needed shot of testosterone to emasculated hunter-gatherer behind the wheel.

Only readable if you have a PhD, obviously.... (Translation: only interesting to those who are worried about scientific methodology, not those who are more interested in reading the titles and short abstracts of articles that validate their biases) Shouldn't you be spending less time here and more time over on Ascensionist being Adamson's toady? I'm sure he misses you when you aren't drooling in his lap.

Know someone on another forum who found several large format camera lenses in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness area. Lenses found on 9/30/06 on the Denny Creek trail. If you know of someone who lost them, let me know and I can put you in contact with the fellow.

It's never a good day to be a die-hard true-believing party member of anything.........

are you being willfully naive???

Oh, wait. He was being serious....

But, then, some of you already knew that, didn't you?

that's just weak. go get some proper trolling hints from Greg_W
