There is other brands and types, just shop around. I remem those day, I gave that laptop to my dad. I had a 10 gig external for my small mp3 collection, now 10 gig would hold half of them.

Just changed mine out.

Hmm, dont have that prob with a 120 gig and 80 gig swap drive. I will let you know it I fill them up.

I have to upgrade my comp, to tide me over for next years build. More Preformance. More Sound for the preformance. And the 400 watt supply will need some help, switching to a 550watt.

I had alot less issues with my comp when I bought 2 matched 512meg pc2700 333mhz Corsair ram for my comp.

Is that including hidden programs, things running in the background?

This is my Windows background, nice and clean.

Cartoon Laws: 1. Any body suspended in space will remain in space until made aware of its situation. Daffy Duck steps off a cliff, expecting further pastureland. He loiters in midair, soliloquizing flippantly, until he chances to look down. At this point, the familiar principle of 9.8 metres per second per second takes over. 2. Any body in motion will tend to remain in motion until solid matter intervenes suddenly. Whether shot from a cannon or in hot pursuit on foot, cartoon characters are so absolute in their momentum that only a telephone pole or an outsize boulder retards their forward motion absolutely. Sir Isaac Newton called this sudden termination of motion the stooge's surcease. 3. Any body passing through solid matter will leave a perforation conforming to its perimeter. Also called the silhouette of passage, this phenomenon is the speciality of victims of directed-pressure explosions and of reckless cowards who are so eager to escape that they exit directly through the wall of a house, leaving a cookie-cutout-perfect hole. The threat of skunks or matrimony often catalyzes this reaction. 4. The time required for an object to fall twenty stories is greater than or equal to the time it takes for whoever knocked it off the ledge to spiral down twenty flights to attempt to capture it unbroken. Such an object is inevitably priceless, the attempt to capture it inevitably unsuccessful. 5. All principles of gravity are negated by fear. Psychic forces are sufficient in most bodies for a shock to propel them directly away from the earth's surface. A spooky noise or an adversary's signature sound will induce motion upward, usually to the cradle of a chandelier, a treetop, or the crest of a flagpole. The feet of a character who is running or the wheels of a speeding auto need never touch the ground, especially when in flight. 6. As speed increases, objects can be in several places at once. This is particularly true of tooth-and-claw fights, in which a character's head may be glimpsed emerging from the cloud of altercation at several places simultaneously. This effect is common as well among bodies that are spinning or being throttled. A "wacky" character has the option of self-replication only at manic high speeds and may ricochet off walls to achieve the velocity required. 7. Certain bodies can pass through solid walls painted to resemble tunnel entrances; others cannot. This trompe l'oeil inconsistency has baffled generations, but at least it is known that whoever paints an entrance on a wall's surface to trick an opponent will be unable to pursue him into this theoretical space. The painter is flattened against the wall when he attempts to follow into the painting. This is ultimately a problem of art, not of science. 8. Any violent rearrangement of feline matter is impermanent. Cartoon cats possess even more deaths than the traditional nine lives might comfortably afford. They can be decimated, spliced, splayed, accordion-pleated, spindled, or disassembled, but they cannot be destroyed. After a few moments of blinking self pity, they reinflate, elongate, snap back, or solidify. Corollary: A cat will assume the shape of its container. 9. For every vengeance there is an equal and opposite revengeance. This is the one law of animated cartoon motion that also applies to the physical world at large. For that reason, we need the relief of watching it happen to a duck instead. 10. Everything falls faster than an anvil. Examples too numerous to mention from the Roadrunner cartoons. http://www.health.uottawa.ca/biomech/csb/laws/physics.htm

But you are using a material with a finite amount of space. If there is an end to the universe, what is it? A wall, a void, what? If it is a void, then there is more to space.

thats a false economy...the real economy is the one that is being shipped to india and china. you know, the outsourcing of jobs...bush claims we've got a good economy, when in-fact, he isnt creating as many jobs as were lost during the end of the clinton era and throughout the bush term. 8 million people are out of work, and thats 8 million people who used to work. thats not people who are just out of college who can't find jobs, because they've never worked before. bush has to do something about outsourcing in my opinion. if he "loves" america, then why is he letting all the business go overseas to devalue the dollar and to lay off 5% of the country? Hey, I bet NAFTA had something to do with it. Who was president when that was created, oh yeah, CLINTON. What about Hanoi Johns wife, mrs Heinz, where something like 80% of there operations is over seas.

No I didnt.

Its not difficult to do, just partition off a small portion of your drive to unallocated, if you have a 100gig hdd, try like 20 gigs if you dont need the space, and install Linux to that portion. When installing Linux, it will ask you all sorts of stuff as far as the boot loader. I know a couple of people that had problems with Suse destroying there windows boot loader while installing. But I havent had a prob with Red Hat. Fedora Core 2 is supposed to be good, but its not free.

What about a fiber optic cable then?

Get a copy of Partion Magic 8, partion off a section as unallocated, the NTFS for the windows partion. Then install linux to the unallocated part and build in the dual boot, RH9 is easy to set up.

Why not just reverse the door, it would take them a few mins to figure out how to open the damn thing.

..... There is no clear answer to the question "Is glass solid or liquid?". In terms of molecular dynamics and thermodynamics it is possible to justify various different views that it is a highly viscous liquid, an amorphous solid, or simply that glass is another state of matter which is neither liquid nor solid

Glass, is it a liquid or solid. You always hear that glass is always melting, and when you look at old works of glass, you notice the bottom is thicker then the top. Its really not defined either way. I searched it on google.com, but no define answer for it.

I think space is kinda like on Scooby Doo when they are being chased by the creepy guy they met in the beginning that is actually the bad dude they are after that is trying to run everyone off so he can take the hidden gold money for himself, but during the chase the run thru a door, and come out thru the door acroos the hall, just to run back thru the same door again. Think of it as a continues loop, or if you are standing in front of door looking in a dark room, with the exact same door behind you. You then throw a ball into the door in front of you, and it hits you in back of the head. Either that, or I am in a drug induced Dr. Seuss nightmare.

Why isnt Micheal Badnarik invited to the presidential debates when he is endorsed in 48 states? Quote : Michael Badnarik, the Libertarian Party’s 2004 presidential nominee, will debate John Kerry and George W. Bush in St. Louis on Friday. Or he’ll go to jail instead. “A majority of Americans say that I should be included in the events sponsored by the Commission on Presidential Debates,” says Badnarik, 50, of Austin, Texas. “And the CPD, as a non-profit, has received special treatment from government on the requirement that they be non-partisan in their activities. Bi-partisan is not non-partisan. “Unless I am allowed to participate, the debates become a massive campaign contribution to two of the candidates, illegal under the very campaign finance laws those two candidates have passed and signed as Senator and President.” More at http://www.badnarik.org/newsfromthetrail.php?p=1344 I do like his quote at the top, 'IT IS NOT TOO SOON FOR HONEST MEN TO REBEL …”

If you use XMMS for your media player, you can download a patch to allow you to play mp3's. RedHat, or Fedora Core Prodject didnt want to be directly involved with any lawsuits over mp3 software. I use RH 9 on my 80 gig swap drive. I have issues though, linux for some reason doesnt like ATI video cards, so after trying manythings I have given up for now on gaming on linux till I get the 3D acceleration to work. But if you have GeForce, you are good to go. Unreal comes with a linux installer, and transgaming is always finding ways to port windows supported games over. BF1942, Neverwinter Nights, and many other games are linux enabled thru them.

Just like pet rocks.

Bud,watch this for awhile http://www.badgerbadgerbadger.com/ So you dont think Kerry would mislead anyone? And you think we are all mindless zombies that believes what everything someone says?

It would be chaos for a little while, but I bet the unemployment rate would go down. Cause we would have to start up all of the mills and factories we lost to NAFTA and prefered trade with China.
