No. They do have the advantage of being able to strike first. It's not a good idea for a criminal to take their illegal gun to a firing range, and, it's very difficult to find places to legally use a firearm, at least in the crowded US. We are ready do this, with terrible consequences. It's...

That's what I'm currently using. s

I forgot to add that many European countries don't waste resources on the crap we try and stop. Prostitution, and drugs, in a couple Euro countries are legal. Why bother fighting that war, when bigger ones are around? Germany and other countries are on top of terrorism, since they don't waste...

I agree it's retarded, but, it's also true. The people with the guns get to write the rules. Ask the majority of the world, and I think you will find that true. First lesson you learn in International politics, 101. Feel free to show me how I'm wrong with the History of the USSR, China, Japan...

How about having this happen to your girlfriend? http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/news/archive/2003/06/06/state0148EDT0244.DTL

Hi Many people post IE and Outlook are inherently dangerous to use, since they are the targets of different virus, trojans, etc. What are the safest software to use, and why? Why is Firefox safer then IE, or Eudora safter then Outlook, for example? Thanks gs

Well, let's see. I'm in a bowling alley bathroom, and three guys, drunk and high, decide to beat me up for fun, or kill me, because they think I'm a friend of the guy at the desk, that just kicked them out, who I hate. Also being white had a lot to do with it. I've trained for a very long...

NO? You mean you aren't going to convince us there is, or is not a God?? S

Try this as a baby step. Can you believe that the group of the founders, putting their heads together, in disscussion, could come up with ideas better then anyone of them on their own, through the dialectic process? I realize that's a difficult concept, because that requires LISTENING TO what...

Some of us believe people are more then just people, and, in certain situations can mirror their Creator. I see why you have such a hard time with the concepts discussed by the founders. s

quote][/sechs wrote: In my opinion, there are no basic rights. All rights are agreed upon by a society. So you disagree with the founders?

The history of mankind has been one people making war, and taking from another people, save sometimes, not, in this century. Industry standard is to conquer others, and take what they have. It's been going on from the start of time. It started with rocks and spears, now it's guns, bombs...

Yes. I see some one that appears to want to discuss a topic, but doesn't really want to look at evidence, or another point of view. Nor do they want to look at the 2nd amendment. It's ok. That's the nature of the country. If I believe in the First Amendment I have to put up with people who...

Thank you for distilling the anti-Constitution group into a nut shell. It's easy. Just reject everything the founding father's believed in, and tried to combat, and believe man is inherently evil, and you can justify your position. Just such people were why people came to the Americas to...

Oh Great. Was it Hobbes that has such a similar low view of the human basic being? s

Why are they so bad? Realplayer, don't bother telling me. QT? Why is is so bad? s

OH yes. Did I mention that if we catch these guys for drug, or gun violations we put them in Federal pens, or Pelican Bay. Pelican Bay was designed to try and stop one of the heads of a giant Mexican gang, from running his operations from inside the prisons. It didn't work. His death was the...

There is this thing callled Mexico to our south. It also has no gun laws. Like America, only the police, and the criminals have guns. The criminals help supply some of the biggest gangs that have existed in the United States with guns, and drugs. One gang, I think it's the 13's or something...

You really don't get it. The laws DO NOT AFFECT THE AVALIABILITY OF GUNS TO CRIMINALS. THE LAWS SIMPLY LIMIT LAW ABIDING CITIZENS FROM HAVING GUNS. S

Weekly, and I use AdAware. I'm careful, but I do get cookies, and a trojan or two, recently. s

A conservative is a liberal that gets robbed.

Sechs: The great thing about living now is we have tried the liberal, against the 2nd amendment crap, in many states, and it just hasn't worked. Crime has gone up. Carry states, crime goes down. It's funny but if you really research accidential, or stupid shootings, the numbers are incredibly...

Hmmm. My understanding in Florida was that as soon as right to carry was passed, violent crime decreased. I believe it's the same with any other state, as well. I also think it increases crime in states without right to carry laws. I once did a study of violent crime liklyhood in different...

CT: You may find that actually carrying a firearm adds a different perspective to driving, and life. Being able to follow through makes one more tolerant. s

Does Windows XP EVER stop paging, even if it has 4 gig of ram? s

Bitch spends like he's a democrat. He should win on that basis alone. s

Guess I'm DD, like the kids I teach... (Developmentaly delayed)

Cpdg4000. Cost: 85 bucks for the monitor, Maxtor P650 112 dollars. Klipsch 5 speaker setup, 250, Motherboard sound, included with Supermicro, help from friends about Media Player classic(priceless) Simply amazing quality sound, and visuals. By the way, same setup plays loud, perfect, HDTV...

Granite Digital? Other options? SCA?> s

Splash: I looked at Granite Digital's external firewire drives, and the case alone is the cost of an ide/sca, or sata/sca housing from Supermicro, or others. What would you suggest for an external firewire solution? I'm beggining to wonder if setting up SATA cards on all my machines might be...

The reason I had made up my mind was the VIA chipset, etc. problems of the previous Athlons. Too much drama, buying a motherboard, finding out later the chipset was not all that great, etc. I'm still a bit out of sorts about the processor eating twain driver, and Photoshop. Doesn't affect my...

http://arstechnica.com/tweak/win2k/others/memory-1.html this helps.

Or, better yet, look at the "Splash what are you using..." thread. s

Ask Splash. s

I forgot to mention I've been watching the HD stuff at high resolutions, that sucked on the G550, on the 650, with no problems. In fact, no problems with any of the stuff that was in the prior thread from MSFT. I really enjoyed viewing the Step into Liquid in HDTV on this setup. It's crystal...

The real key to this is Supermicro doesn't support Athlons. If they did, Tyan would do it better, and the price factor would be better. s

Pradeep: I don't even know what the cable is that came with the Lacie's. I've run into cheap cabling, in ethernet setups, that will run on macs, but not PC's. Guess I need to buy a premium cable, and see if that helps. s

Pradeep: You are right. However, I do like having everything on the motherboard, and being able to raid my boot setup. I also didn't like the problems with the first athlon Thunder boards. I have already invested in scsi, and so far, sata has not offered anything I'm intrested in. No drives...

It's a cardbus, IEEE 1984 card. As for the cables, I'm using the ones that came with the FW external Lacie CDRW drives. s

Thanks; I can do that... s

Well, I'm listening to Klipsch 4 + woofer speakers, on the AC97 that came on my Supermicro motherboard. I would like it slightly louder, but, if it did that, I would be evicted. It's pretty incredible, at about 75 percent volume, it maxes out the speakers, and, almost, my old ears. The...

Under. s

Yes, but nuder the full volume Klipsch speakers, my wine glass moves, who knows what the CRT sounds like???? s

DD I must be missing something. I look at the entire combination of features. Expandability, motherboard features, values, etc. When I priced this setup, Splash has, and I'm convinced, made the right performance choice. I looked at the Athlons, since I fully believe, without them, we would...

Prices? I'd like a PCI-X, solid state ram storage card, for the pagefile in XP or windows. s

Clocker got rid of his dually? :cry: He, and Splash are my inspirations... Not to mention Flagreen. OK: Please see the Splash, what are you running...? Thread. My two cents are the Athlons are overpriced, weird in some cases, at doing some tasks, scanning in Photoshop for me, using a Canon...

Thanks. On the subject, when I installed the P650, the usb setup that connects to the motherboard didn't work, since the cables, when streched over the matrox card, are too short. I can put it over one of the PCI-x slots, but I loose the slot. Do you have any usb 1-2 type connectors that work...

Well, I downloaded the latest bios flash, and the latest beta stuff, and unlike most beta stufff, it all works. I'm at billions of colors, and, it's about as good as it gets. The matrox cards are both pretty incredible. Thanks for the suggestions. gs

OWC suggests the card maybe defective, since it doesn't work to connect to either PC or mac, from either a pc laptop, or a mac. I guess you get what you pay for... s
