fourth with one small caveat, if you are also using Vista and like CNN videos, it aint working.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Apr 30, 2007 -> 09:11 PM) GWB CERTAINLY is not a fiscal conservative, and that's hugely why we are in the problems today that we are... Iraq War notwithstanding. I believe all the professional GOPers have abandoned conservative fiscal policies in favor of giving the American public what they want, a free lunch. We demand that they borrow money and give it to us. I don't blame them, it's the way to get elected. And I give him a partial pass because of the Iraq war. I just wish he had come on tv and said, hey, we're in a war and this is not a great time to be cutting taxes.

QUOTE(Jimbo @ Apr 30, 2007 -> 03:34 PM) hell no, he hates us. Emmit was plenty pissed at the Cowboys when they cut him loose. Things change, I hope it does for Frank after he hits 600.

And retire his number at the same time. BTW, I wonder at the end of his career if he will sign a one day contract to retire as a Sox player?

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Apr 30, 2007 -> 02:33 PM) Which is why they are trying to find a big name guy to step to the forefront. Once they get the attention they need, then they can establish their principles with the general public. First they need someone with a good reputation. That seems like the correct strategy. They have to avoid character issues and grab the values that the GOP has abandonded (fiscal conservatism) and avoid the special interest pandering that caused the Dems to lose their backbone, and we have a winner.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 30, 2007 -> 02:25 PM) And I think a third party may become viable, if as I said, its not starting at the top. It can't be a party about a person. That makes sense, but I can't reconcile that to America being a celebrity society where flash and appearance is more important than ideas and vision.

QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ Apr 30, 2007 -> 01:50 PM) It shouldn't. We are loading this on an older computer where it will run. We load it from the A:\ to the computer. After that the diskettes are put to the side and not used again. After that point, we run through the setup and then run the program. That is why this is so confusing to me - why will it run when we save the files directly from the diskettes and then run setup but not if we save the diskettes to a shared drive, copy them to our local drive and then try to run the setup file on them? It's been so long since I loaded a program from disks. Is this a DOS based program? Let me see if I understand the way this installs. All the disks are written to a directory and then you install? or is there an install shell which sequentially calls for them?

QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ Apr 30, 2007 -> 01:21 PM) Can anyone think of a reason why a program will run if and only if it is loaded using floppy disks? We loaded all the diskettes onto a CD and tried that way (since my work computer doesn't have an A:\ drive). It will load up, but when you try to run the software you get an error saying the database is already open. The IT guy and I tried to solve this for a half a day before giving up. It is bugging me because it doesn't make sense. Why should the media the program is being loaded onto my PC from make any difference? At some point is the program trying to read the "A" drive? If the program makes a call to a non existent drive, it may shut down as an error. Try renaming the CD drive. Off the top of my head, it is the only thing I can think of. OK not the only thing. Could it be that when switching from one floppy to the other the install programs closes that database? perhaps putting them on separate cds and renaming the drive may work. OK, more than two. You have checked that the program and floppy disks are good? Isolate all variables so you are working with :known to be good" stuff. Why do I feel stupid telling this to an engineer who is far smarter than I?

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Apr 30, 2007 -> 01:23 PM) There will never be three viable parties in this country unless it's for a short short short period of time. See: Bull Moose, La Follette's Progressives, Nader, maybe. I could see a third party wiping out the Dems or Reps, probably the Dems. At election time, both parties dive to the left and right, leaving the middle wide open for a viable upstart.

I wish it would happen that way. I see a small group that will be the swing vote on everything. Perhaps they will act differently than everyone else we send to Washington, but I'm thinking the new party will work harder at representing "their constituents" by pointing out the great projects (pork) they have brought to their district in hopes of getting more of their new party elected. It is pork grease that lubricated the wheels of congress. No matter what, two of the three will be needed to pass. The only time I see the DEMs and REPs getting together would be to figure out a way to eliminate the 3rd Party and bring things back to "normal". There will be even more pressure to keep the party votes in line or else a three way deal would be necessary, something even harder to do.

No matter how well the team did or didn't play, the place was fun. It was entertainment. Something I haven't seen again at a mlb facility but I see in unaffiliated and minor league parks.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Apr 30, 2007 -> 11:18 AM) I'll believe it when I see it. This could very well be a guy worried about getting booed all year, so he is just saying all of the right things. QUOTE(RockRaines @ Apr 30, 2007 -> 11:27 AM) pure politics. Now the blame is soley going to be on the Sox when we cant match the offer. And I applaud Mark for being PR savy enough to do that.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Apr 30, 2007 -> 10:48 AM) Damn, I feel bad for Brandon... Hopefully he gets his stuff straightened out. The kid always went out of his way for people on Soxtalk, and I wish him nothing but the best. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ It has been so easy to pull for him.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Apr 30, 2007 -> 09:07 AM) So I guess that means the people who didn't believe that this could weaken a structure enough to make it collapse were wrong. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18392684/ It's all part of the cover up of the government's continuing conspiracy regarding 9/11

If we think there is gridlock and pork in Washington with two parties, toss in a third. Nothing would happen unless two of the three aligned. Having said that, I love choice and I like the idea of a coalition running. There are DINOs and RINOs out there that in reality would fit perfect in this party, or so it seems.

QUOTE(DePloderer @ Apr 30, 2007 -> 08:41 AM) What are you talking about? Is this some kind of Popcorn flavoured petrol? Used cooking oils are being processed for use as a fuel. I've heard of a french fry odor. but not popcorn. Here is a link from your edge of the world http://www.nowpublic.com/cooking_oil_into_fuel wiki on the subject http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegoil

It was the summer that all my friends and myself were getting our drivers licenses. Scary driving the expressways the same week we got our license, but we did. I probably saw more games that summer than any other year. Singing with Nancy was incredible. It was really cool when the old guys like FlaSoxxJim and YASNY would buy us sodas

Iowa = Corn Texas = Crude; Oil that is, black gold, Texas tea What the hell do you think . . .

It is a shame that from all indications a very good guy felt he had to resign.

Linkage Liar. I would have more respect if he said he used the service for sex. Clinton inhaled and Tobias used the service for sex. There are legit massage therapy services he would have called.
