see, thats why I like lakes. No matter what happens, I can always swim, and make it, to shore. That seemed to be the only option, heading right into it. I can remember seeing the storm as we approached it, it was quite a sight, and I suppose much better then the alternatives you mentioned. nice boat btw, and good to know I'm not the only one who chooses his/her nick by the name of their recreational vehicle

no, its like a cruiser type boat, inboard (ofcourse). I haven't actually seen it yet, its my friends, I've just been diggin for info. He compared it to his other boat, which is like a standard, probably 8-10 passenger, enclosed front. I've always been a lil scared of the ocean since going on a deep sea fishing trip, but the problems we ran into came from the captain driving right into a storm, supposedly for better fishing. Needless to say, it was a wild ride, very wet, alot of sick people, and I swore we were going to tip a few times. the boat is something simliar to this, but more roomy http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=2493979542&category=26432#ebayphotohosting

Wow, thanks for all the info, I'm still digesting it. As for navigating, we are currently in a lake which I basically grew up in, I know it well. My friend had a 21 ft boat with a ford v8 4barrel, and it stripped out the foot. This boat has a "Alpha1" foot and is supposed to be able to handle the power. And rumour has it that the boat used to be owned by micheal waltrip.

I got about 70% through and couldn't contain myself. patience

actually, I said nothing about whether she went to school or not. She did make it to class, through hardwork on herself and my behalf. and if we "Ran out" or grants, why was she told she was denied because she makes to much money?

uhm, is this true? if so, how could anyone with (or without) a fully functioning brain vote for such an imbecile?

the one I got was around 50 megs. I'm wanting to say its Ace codec pack, if that rings a bell, and its around 50 mb, thats probably the one. Or, I'll let ya know for sure tommorow.

I've got a good one after searching and searching, it plays every media format I come across. Unfortunately I do not have access to my home computer right now, and it doesn't have internet access at the time, so I will have to get you the name of it, and let you know tommorow. I know if you get direct connect (I'd recomend dc++) you will be able to find some people who can point you in the right direction.

that segway thing is pretty cool, but still not gonna put a dent in my plan. Like, for instance, it appears you still have to plug it in. This will limit your distance, ride time, etc. Also, 20mph is too slow, and the center of gravity appears to be to funky to safely go much faster. Unfortunately for me, I am my production team

As to bush being wired, someone on tv made a good point about that. He said, If bush's answers were being given to him via a radio, who was giving him the answers, Jessica Simpson?

Hmm, so why was my fiance, who makes 14k/year, reject for her pell grant?

crashing OS's have more to do with the quality of the OS, and not so much the CPU. I mean, I've got an old computer with windows 3.11 which I do not believe has ever crashed. Of course, its probably been 5 years since I turned it on Anyhow, the OS-X, if I'm not mistaken, is based on Unix. Unix is like, the best, it has to be, when it comes to stability. Windows is far from *nix based OSes when it comes to stability.

Cap'n, right click on your taskbar. Go to toolbars Go to "Add new toolbar" or something to that effect. Now, make a whole bunch of shortcuts to your favorite programs, drag them to the new toolbar you just made, and POOF! you can add all sortsa toolbars to your taskbar. I have one for instance that is "My Computer" this way I can browse my hd from the desktop without opening windows explorer. As to making a new OS, I do wonder why noone else has made an IBM-Compatible OS to rival windows. Does MS have exclusive rights to the ibm-compatibility?

MAD, not sure if that was a personal story or not, I've gone through a very similar situation with my grandfather. Its been over a year and a half since he passed away, and I still get letters from his banks, insurance, even credit card companys offering him a $20,000 credit line. The trick about these companys, and the letters sent to them prove, is that they have poor intercompany communication. I personally made copies of my GF's death certificate, mailed the ones to out of state companys, and personally delivered to the locals. It still doesn't stop them. I really liked the one from the pyschic, thats too funny. as to my joke, well, I tell you a personal story from this weekend. I walked into a shelf, galged myself in the eye with this stupid little piece of metal. It was in my new home, and the shelf was just in a bad location in the hallway. To make matters worse, it was dark, I just woke up to use the restroom. Anyhow, when jerking away from the shelf, I head-butted the wall, then turned and hit my funny bone on the corner. Needless to say, I'm in alot of pain today, but atleast I can appreciate the humour in it. I am the 4th stooge.

lol, sure thing, thanks for the encouragement.

hehe, well, its kinda silly, and it would require some effort on behalf of the driver. It may have even been done or attempted, I'm not sure. But basically, make a more effiecient bicycle. Of course, since most people lack balance, and bikes are dangerous on highways, it would be 4 wheeled, electrically assisted, possibly a small engine to serve as a generator. I don't wanna give to much out, even though most will probably view it as another crazy idea. With a very simple 2 seater model I've got in mind, speeds of 35-45 mph should be possible. Now, like I said, I think this would be ideal for local travel, in city limits, where most traffic is congested as is. The hard part of selling it would be getting lazy ass people to pedal there selves around. But then again, if gas is 10 bucks a gallon at some future point in time, would you rather spend 10 bucks, or lose some fat cells? upon rereading this I realize I've barely told you anything at all. I've always had borderline crazy ideas, thought I had pm figured out once, know better now. I still believe cheap energy is possible, but nothing is free. In this case, it will cost a couple hersheys bars and maybe a mountain dew or 2, and a lil sweat. But as I said earlier, I think the bigger problem will be in goods transportation. If gas prices climb too high, trucking companys will have to raise prices to deliver the goods. If this happens, manufacturing companys will have to raise prices to offset the cost of delivery. It results in higher prices in the marketplace, and with consumers already spending there wages just to make their wages, I see the entire system screeching to a halt. Don't worry about the buck

airplanes suck anyways. They fall, and get used for bombs. Atleast trains are confined and can't be driven off course, anyhow, I'm derailing this thread (what a pun) But in a way I guess not, since in order to become independant of oil, we need to know how.

There's a teacher in a small Texas town. She asks her class how many of them are Bush fans. Not really knowing what a Bush fan is, but wanting to be liked by the teacher, all the kids raise their hands except one boy--Johnny. The teacher asks Johnny why he has decided to be different. Johnny says, "I'm not a Bush fan." The teacher says, "Why aren't you a Bush fan?" Johnny says, "I'm a John F. Kerry fan." The teacher asks why he's a Kerry fan. The boy says, "Well, my mom's a Kerry fan, and my Dad's a Kerry fan, so I'm a Kerry fan!" The teacher is kind of angry, because this is Texas, so she says, "What if you're Mom was a moron, and you're dad was an idiot, what would that make you?" Johnny says, "That would make me a Bush fan."

A scientist gets on a train to go to New York. His cabin also has a poor farmer in it. To pass the time the scientist decides to play a game with the guy. "I will ask you a question and if you get it wrong, you have to pay me 1 dollar. Then you ask me a question, and if I get it wrong, you get 10 dollars. You ask me a question first." The farmer thinks for a while. "I know. What has three legs, takes 10 hours to climb up a palm tree, and 10 seconds to get back down?" The scientist is confused and thinks long and hard about the question. Finally, the train ride is coming to an end. As it pulls into the station, the scientist takes out 10 dollars and gives it to the farmer. "I don't know. What has 3 legs, takes 10 hours to get up a palm tree and 10 seconds to get back down?" The farmer takes the 10 dollars and puts it into his pocket. He then takes out 1 dollar and hands it to the scientist. "I don't know." _ Thought I'd try to make up for butchering my last one

That is the truth there. It sickens me we wasted so much resources on Iraq, instead of putting them to work for liberating these tortured people. My question, does the US even have the capability of doing anything?

hehe, na, I'm thinking it would be feasible for short distance trips. From there, we need to start using public trains and busses I think for more longer distances.

In that case I'd say he's probably just got it out for the SP creators. I mean, they challenge alot of stuff in their shows, I believe I've even seen them picking on egbert. I for one have never paid attention to movie critics. If I do, I tend to find the movies the rate as poor are some of my favorites.

I've a plan in the works, gonna make ya sweat, but us fat americans need it anyhow. Now, I'm only lacking the resources to make it happen, but that will come soon enough.

well, of course we won't wake up tommorow without oil. But we will wake up tommorow with it costing a couple pennys more, as recent trends have shown. I mean, when was the last time you paid over $2.00 (americans) for a gallon of 87 octance?

I'm curious how they rated the south park movie. It should be interesting to see. You say it is far from reality, but really, it will be the first to display our government for what it is, a bunch of puppets.
