Congratulations! Enjoy it while you can because the NFL will be here before you know it.

Fair enough and well said. However I removed that because It was a response to you based upon my misunderstanding of your motives in writing that which I was responding to. To correct an error on my part in other words. Well everyone else is human aren't they. They all have the same foibles and...

One last thing Jake, For the record it was you who introduced the WTC attack into our discussion. And I quote - Unless I am mistaken the event you refer to here is the WTC attack. Actually I know it is. When you get time go back and read all we have posted on this. If you still feel the same...

Well as you were in the process of posting this I was in the process of editing the post you quote from, though not the exact paragraph, to be far less "wise-acre". Now Jake, let me ask you this - Care to revisit the following statement you made earlier today? I didn't answer you then because...

Damn it I misspelled your name again Cliptin!

Splash, I will 51 this November youngster. You have mail coming in four months from AARP to look forward to. :)

Yes Clipton but no wake up call was necessary. Where you unaware prior to 9-11 that the Muslim / Arab world hated us? What more evidence did we need other than to be at up on current events to know this? I was not unaware of this. And I know our government was not unaware of it. I have know this...

Feeling any way in particular had nothing to do with it. Simply put, it's the truth Jake. You certainly have as much of a problem, if not more of one, than I do when it comes to self-examination and criticism. You just don't seem to be aware of it. Well I apreciate that but actually Jake, it...

My mistake Cliptin! My apologies to you and Jake both. I don't know if Jake missed that because he didn't read my post carefully, or just chose to let it go. At any rate I regret having attributed the statement to you Jake. African-Americans may get loud in discussions but white late middle...

Well, any bets? It is just around the corner.

Ok so you don't think shouting is abusive, interesting. You apparently don't mind when people shout at you? You say on the one hand I am not listening but on the other hand you say below that you don't see a problem with our communication. And that makes sense to you? BTW you did "hear" at all...

Jake and Tony, First of all allow me to point out to both you and Tony that when say as have here in your second to last post; that this is indeed exactly where The Giver would become abusive in return. He would do so because you have become reactionary and are shouting. This is what I mean...

Splish Splash - You are correct, I found this web page which lists the vertical heighth of the new bridge at 193'. As I recall the old spans were slightly lower than the new one is. HAPPY NOW? YOU'VE HUMILATED A HARMLESS OLD MAN! YOU'VE PROVED HIM WRONG AND REMINDED HIM THAT HE'S NOT HALF...

I've been told It's true. :o Correction - After doing a bit of research here: http://www.rci.rutgers.edu/~jup/metric/fahrenheit.html I discovered that it is not true. Not that the true story is much more sensible. :)

What's so sensible about having water freeze at 0 degrees and boil at a 100 degrees? It's much easier to stick a thermometer up a horses ass and call that 100 degrees don't you think?

That's a pretty garden. It was a treat to see real grass! Not this sorry excuse for grass we have down here in Florida, but real honest to God grass!

No not really. It only causes problems. The first Ex I would not want to be friends with. Once the trust was broken with her we never got along. The second is a wonderful person but she did not think it a good idea to remain friends. After 10 years I still miss her and love her though I no...

Yes they do. If it is meant to be, so it will be. If it is not meant to be than there is nothing you can do about it. I have been through my fair share of these things. No matter how difficult or painful they may have been, I always came out a better person for them.

:lol:

By continuing to charge outrageous prices for a simple glass of beer I guess. :o

To make changes because the policy is wrong is one thing. To make changes because of an unjustifiable act such as the WTC attack is a completely different thing altogether. The latter is appeasement where as the former is justice. I thought we were talking about the WTC attack were we not? If...

A "reletively informned decision" about what? Who is right and who is wrong? Isn't that what you are doing? I thought you had already done that when you came to the conclusion that the attack was not justified. I know I had done so. How can an act which is wrong ever be justified? It cannot be...

Who is ignoring the facts? Correct me if I am wrong but you seem to be hinting around at saying the US policy should be changed to appease these people to prevent further attacks. Is this what you feel we should do? I see no other reason why one would bring the WTC attack and US foreign policy...

Thou doth make a huge leap in reasoning my canine friend. We are not ignorant of all the facts. We understand why they did it. Your assumption that we do not wish to know, and that we are choosing not to understand, is incorrect. Here's the thing - What is unjustifiable is unjustifiable. You...

What is unjustifiable is just that, unjustifiable. Nothing further need be said.

I fail to see the relevance of this. Fair enough but I don't recall that I ever disagreed with this, nor that any other Americans did.

Here's a link to a story with photos of the skyway incident. Actually the fall was 600' and death toll over 30. http://www.rushw.com/skyway/sky4.html

It seems like VIA has been at it for quite sometime now and still hasn't got there stability or performance wise. You would think they have already been building them long enough to achieved a little better in each department. Though I think Intel's patents on AGP have hindered them. Maybe there...

We lost about 25 people here in St. Petersburg the morning a phosphate freighter knocked down one span of the Sunshine Skyway Bridge during a driving rain storm. Most were in a bus that fell 500' to the bay.

It could also have been that the GD twine stretched between the empty soup can modem broke again.

How about a "My head hurts" option to vote for?

No doubt you are correct about the fact that they hate America because of her foreign Policy. However - Is what caused their anger relevant when their actions are inexcusable? Because many can establish a "cause and effect" relationship between Muslim Rage and the WTC tragedy, they feel...

She's quite a looker ain't she?

For the record - I never had any problem whatsoever with James. He should be a Diplomat like his Father. The only reason The Giver had any interaction with him was to stay in character when responding to him or when The Giver was already logged in. James had the misfortune of joining some...

Hey Tea!

They work fine so far. They are WHQL certified by the way.

Thanks I'll give it a shot.

Ooops! Meant to post the above in the thread about Benchmarks. As for the P4 overclock, those guys are nuts. I would imagine the board is no longer usable when it thaws out. And talk about dangerous! Liquid Nitrogen is nothing to play around with.

Windows XP Pro works very well for me. Very, very stable. As for benchmarks, the best HDD benchmark is a trial run with the drive. Of course you have to buy it first to do that. EBB used to buy and return drives frequently as I recall. In my opinion, the best HDD is one that you don't even...

I use some video programs (Smart Ripper, etc.) which either require aspi or work better with it. Installing it has been harmless for me so far. I'm running XP Pro btw.

Oh no I loved snow days when school would be cancelled. The only hard part was all the coats, boots, mittens etc. my Mom made my brother, sister and me put on before leaving the house to play in the snow.

Yes, many people mistake Mr. Redford for me.

By the way I forgot: - tree climbing, climbing a tall tree, getting comfortably seated and just watching all I could see from up there.

Wow, I would think 6' would be enough to shut down school anywhere!

Jealous?

That's amazing! It looks just like me!

My name is flagreen. How do I look?

Most likely you'll never have to do a thing. Give it a shot. Come to think of it, give me a shot too. Wiskey if you please.

Great story Mercutio. Rocco - On occasion they did. If the storm was bad enough for up to a week! Yeehaaawwww!
