What kicked my butt this weekend, as far as networking, was adding a new PC with Norton and Windows Firewall running. I deleted Norton, ending any conflicts and was able to access the net and get file and printer sharing to work. Perhaps that's what is causing your problem? Also, in a totally different problem. Anyone needing a boot disk and not having one close by, bootdisk.com (go figure) has a slew of boot disks and other troubleshooting utilities.

s***, I'll bet half the guys lied to get them. There is no fact checking. Get a boo boo playing cards and here's a purple heart. I'm certain that only a couple guys ever faked and lied, and gee, that one guy runs for President and all these guys remember him. Can't discredit one guy and not the rest. The Swift Boat guys exposed a system of lying and false awards for bravery. Don't have a clue? I read everything the Swift Boat guys wrote. I listened to Rush and Hannity and they convinced me that the military loves to decorate themselves in brightly covered ribbons and really don't care if anything could be proven. It's harder to get a subscription to Sport Illustrated than a Purple Heart. I stubbed my toe, quick get me a Purple Heart form. Two more and I'm out of here. Damn I pinched my finger when I was torturing that woman, quick get me a form, 1 more and I'm going home. I am certain that now and again some guys really were hurt and deserve the award. To bad there isn't one that isn't tainted they could wear. When it's that easy to fake it, what is it really worth? Hell, I could buy one at the last gun show I was at for $15.00.

Nice, crosschecked with what you already know, so this is just for fun. Do you even read what you type? The CIA and DOD follow US laws and do not torture. If that information is so valuable, as YOU claim, then why send prisoners off to Syria and other places to be tortured? Or are you saving that CIA and DOD officials testified that they broke US laws and tortured prisoners? Sorry I am a conservative when it comes to our laws. I believe we should respect them. But hey, to each his own. I guess the military doesn't mind breaking laws when it serves their purpose. Hell, they gave Kerry a medal for shooting a child in the back. Why is torture illegal? Why does the US have to hand the innocent until proven guilty suspects to a third party? And nice to know how serious you take the US Constitution. Too bad they don't make military personnel take an oath to uphold the Constitution instead of s***ting on it. The more I know about our military and the liars and the fake medals and awards, the less I respect them. They don't even respect the Constitution and our laws. :headshake

He's the 2005 E-Lo find!

Bottom line is we know some servicemen and women are liars. We know that all the pretty ribbons and medals are a big farce to make people look good. Purple Hearts and Bronze Stars are a joke. The military is as f***ed up as Enron.

You have to somehow determine which is the better team. Since they did not play head to head, it becomes an intellectual exercise in comparison. Could UT have won Utah's conference? Could Utah have win UT's conference. If I had to take one of those scenarios, I'd take UT over Utah.

No, I'd pull out his fingernails until he lied to me. So I ask again, why is it that countries have banned torture? Do you eat with silverware or just use your mouth? Do you really think the information is accurate? History has told us time and again that humans will lie to have the torture stopped. Or do you think with the proper amount of pain, they will tell the truth? So you basically agree with Saddam Hussein that torture is a good thing?

But only if you are using Firefox browser. Spellbound link here Funny, Firefox came up as misspelled :-)

dood!? I guess I'm not hip on the new phrases dude

Gee, you don't think the guy would lie to escape the torture, do you? And what do you do if the information is false? Execute them? How close to death are you willing to go, or is a street execution OK if time is critical and it saves dozens of lives? Why do you think it is that civilized countries have all condemned torture?

Soxtalk's The Cheat gets a mention

Saddam Hussein has WMD and must be stopped. Can't find them so . . . . . . Saddam Hussein is torturing citizens he must be stopped. Now we are saying torture is ok, perhaps we can use his old torture rooms, hire some of his old guys. People being tortured will say anything to make it stop. It is by a wide margin the most unreliable information you can get. Perhaps Halliburton can start building racks, electroshock devices, cattle prods, etc. Great shining example of America. After reading Nuke's comments I am beginning to wonder if the prisoner abuses were an isolated situation, and the guards involved felt it was wrong, but just following orders. Seems like soldiers may find it justified.

It isn't always that easy. In fairness to all politicos there may be very good reasons they favor policies that help their biggest donors. Let's say, for example that I am a congressman and ChiSoxFn has turned this into a media empire, wealthy and powerful, and reaches millions of voters. He knows what a liberal asshole I am, and what a GOPerbot Nuke is. He and Nuke share a lot of values and opinions. ChiSox donates millions, writes editorials on Soxtalk, and campaigns for Nuke. Nuke wins. Later a bill comes up that would help ChiSoxFn. Since Nuke respects ChiSoxfn, they share many of the same values, it would be no surprise that Nuke would vote for the bill, regardless of the donations. If you respect each other and otherwise agree, the votes and donations, should line up. It's the slimy corporations that work both sides of the aisle with their donations. The sell out is in the party politics. When junior congressman and senators are forced to vote party lines or risk having opposition and no money in their next primary. Vote against party lines and get low level nothing committee appointments. Vote against party lines and never be able to sponsor a bill.

Looking at Utah and UT. Utah would not go undefeated in the Big 12 South. At best they would also have lost to OU. I just do not believe Utah is as strong as UT. Cal and UT should be the at-large this season.

When we sink to their level, we become them and they us. Soon there is no difference. So what are we trying to accomplish? And we wonder why the world hates us :headshake Campaign to get our laws changed then. If you think torture is a great way to get information, then write your congressman and ask him to introduce a ban that allows the US to torture instead of hiding behind other countries. Certainly we can torture even better than the Syrians. Write to your newspaper and tell the world you support torture. And let's not stop overseas, let's see how effective it is at home. Then we can make a dent in the crime rate. Electroshock everyone who is in for questioning until they confess.

THank you, now to find a old computer

I am trashing two computers and pulling parts along with a new mobo and CPU and building a new system with #1 son. Everything was moving along until yesterday when the system really started to slow down. The OS on the hard drive we kept was an unstable copy of ME. I decided to uninstall ME, with the thought of upgrading to XP. Midway through the uninstall the system crashed, now it wants an emergeny startup disk. Problem is the emergency startup disk is a Compaq and the disk shuts down because it isn't in a current Compaq computer. Any tips? I need to boot, but it is missing the system.ini

And when they torture Americans we have no reason to complain. Reap what you sow. I want protection for American soldiers who are captured. It seems rather hypocritical to demand proper treatment for our soldiers and then turn around and use torture.

Anyone else ever even heard of a one-point safety? I didn't. Sometimes the referees are amazing to me.

I've seen more UT Longhorns than any team this season and from what I saw, they could have won almost any other conference in the nation. Their only loss was to Oklahoma, who may be the best team in the nation. I would have a hard time leaving them out, again.

They must be shell shocked. What more could go wrong?

Nice. In Texas there was a shooting over about the same thing. Anyone burn down their house trying to deep fry (yummmmmmy) a turkey? That's always my favorite Thanksgiving story. Man heats up a couple gallons of fat, man puts in turkey, man gets drunk, knocks over turkey pot, burns down house.

That wasn't all they were hoping to "accidentally" discharge It could have been tragic, and yes the poor kid's life would have been totally f***ed instead of partially f***ed as it is now. With this kid's luck, he'll get a female judge. Judge: "Now I want you to really think about this. You understand your actions could have had a tragic ending. I am going to ask you one time, why shouldn't we lock you up . . ." Kid (to himself): I wonder if the Judge is wearing any clothes under that robe? Down here, for $20 and a ride to Boy's Town in Mexico, he kid could have had a nice hooker.

You knew one of those kids would grow up and be an attorney
