tommie gorman ; I helped a member a while back fix a video problem with an E machine..I found their web site limited at best.Not too bad for what is supposed to be in a specific E machine but basically not much else. I don't think it would be heat because why would a restart cool the card.If you just restart & immediatly use your PC again. I guess the sound controller driver could be corruped .You might see if there is an update for those.Or reinstall the one in your OS & see if that helps.

On one of my few trips out of the USA & I didn't get over a mile from the border.I brought a friend of mine a bottle of Mescal back with the worm in it.He drank it & ate the worm.He didn't have any visions. The kind with the worm was hard to find at the time.Now I think a good liquor store has tequilla with the worm.I'm not so sure you could find the Mescal. Mescal is sort of a cruder form of tequilla.

That's what I call liquor for a wake. Or how does the pirate song go"15 men on a dead man's chest.All for me & none for the rest.YO HO HO & a bottle of Rum." btw the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad so I had one more for desert.

This probably dates me but my grandmother had an electric washing machine that had an electric wringer..The old thing (the washer)didn't have a spin cycle so she had to put clothes through the wringer.I barely remember it because before I was very old she got an automatic much like the modern ones we have now.Except the older automatics didn't have all the circuit boards the ones have now.

I like the big Hershey's & if theres a ten pounder a stomach ache in a wrapper. Has anyone tried the Hershey's special dark chocolate bars that are 60% cocao? They have a large type dark chocolate bar also but it is not as high a cocao content as the small ones I'm talking about.I got mine at Walmart for $2.80 for 5 ounces.There the small bars & are in a black cardboard box.The chocolate taste is pretty intense but some less sweet than the regular Hershey bar.

The last time I saw a wringer(mangle) was at a full service gas station to wring the chamois so the attendant could wash the windows on the car.

On monitor settings I have optimal as a choice.I think this lets Windows make the best choice for my monitor.I have a crt & don't notice flicker so I guees this is the correct setting for my monitor.

Miles_Smiles ;Christopher Eccleston is the actor in the Dr.Who we are now seeing in the USA. An old Brit.hippy sort.Well I guess some would put me in the old Texas hippy category.Sort of a different breed.We like rock & country music.I can listen to Grand Funk followed by Willie Nelson or Jimi Hendrix then Alan Jackson or the Stones then Kris Kristofferson. I never got into the hard drugs & I have been drug free for over 20 years.I did use a lot of herb before I quit. I still think of Onslo & Tom Good as aging hippies of a sort the just don't have long hair.I wear mine shorter these days but I've had my hair past my shoulders a lot of my life. I probably could brush up on my exact order of WW2 It's been a long time since I was in a history class. Most of the time you debate civilly too.I remember a post or two when you were on the edge with someone but not me.

I like the Banner & stars together .Now one more thing.The title in text above the banner since the banner has the tittle of the member the text is redundent & it would look cleaner without it. Even though the stars & banner color indicate this the "Expert" or "TMN Veteran" & the others like this in the text should be left above the banner.Just the tittle in text like "Global Mod" & the others like this should now be removed.

I haven't went back & checked my posts in this topic but I bet none of mine looked like they supported Bush old or new.The only good thing I have to say about old Bush is a least he really served in the military & one more he's no longer President. Miles_Smiles ;I'm an isolationist so I wouldn't have gotten involved I any war that did not directly attack the USA.So I guess that would have been WW2 when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor & I think the Nazi's had attacked some US private ships that were taking goods to England.I'm not sure about the last one & haven't went back & researched it. I think after the atomic bombs were dropped on Japan germany surrendered pretty quick after.So a direct result of the USA being in the war. Didn't the Viet Nam war start between N.Viet Nam & France? I am not behind Bush.I do support some of his religious values.But for his part I think this is just part of his act to get votes.He's a multi-faced lying snake who ought to be tried for treason & not just impeached.So I don't think that is support.I think he was actually illegally elected by the Supreme Court the first time .With the help of his brother the Governor of Florida by a fixed election. Since Incumbents do usually win the next election he was elected a second time but not by my vote.Who knows maybe as President he was able to fix the second election better. I didn't like Clinton either but his main vice was vice being the sleezeball he was & probably still is. Even the best one I have memory of Kennedy his main good work was the Civil Rights movement he supported & tried to help.LBJ finished this through little effort on his part.& that Kennedy told Russia to get their missiles off Cuba.I guess Kennedy had a great deal to do with the Space Race but this has only helped the USA by the invention that came with developing things for the space vessels.As far as the rest even going to Mars if that ever happens (A manned mision) who's that really going to help?Same with the so called international Space Station built & paid for mostly by the USA. So Miles_Smiles don't brand all Americans with the same iron. This is completly off topic below. Miles_Smiles ;Should I picture you as Onslo from "Keeping Up Appearances" or Tom Good from "Good Neighbors" A couple of my favorite Brit shows.The new Dr.Who is pretty good too.The first one I've liked since the Tom Baker with the perm left the part.

I'm up I just don't have the answer.I have dial-up so it disconects after a certian time of inactivity.Unless your ISP or connection does that .

paladin;Yes I've heard of a Jenny.Thats a female donkey & maybe mule also.Possibly burro too.

tommie gorman ;I think rather than look as Americans as brothers they look at us as a mongrel race much like Hitler did.That & they are jealous that the American mongrels or I prefer hybrids actually do better than they do.

It's our fault we feed the troll. For the how many answer I think CA3LE probably has the exact count.So he can answer if he wants too.I did see a list but some were counted twice I think so I don't want to give a wrong answer.

amish ;I don't have any experience with linux but I would go to the Firefox forum & some of there help information.To see if they have a fix or solution for this.Assuming you have the latest FF version for linux. Even if Opera is working for this.

I ran two AV at once a long time back.I had no real problems except slow speed from them hoging resources.I use & like AVG I did have to use it in safe mode one time to get rid of two viruses at the same time. But for the most part it seems to be keeping them out. I have ran Kaspersky's online scan & it didn't find anything so I guess AVG is doing the job. I do use Adaware by lavasoft.SpywareBlaster,& Outpost firewall as well.I haven't had a virus in over a year.Adaware does detect the same negligable objects everytime I run it unless I do the second scan right after.But these are just MRU lists & it says no threat.I just remove them anyway & give them a fresh start.

I'm going to post something I copy& pasted below.I guess it is our celebration too in that the Mexicans kicked the ass of the French.This probably did help the North win the Civil War.Although a Southerner I really wouldn't have wanted slaves. So even with all the illegal immigrant protests that I disagree with. Happy Cinco de Mayo The 5th of May is not Mexican Independence Day, but it should be! Mexico declared its independence from mother Spain on midnight, the 15th of September, 1810. And it took 11 years before the first Spanish soldiers were told and forced to leave Mexico. So, why Cinco de Mayo? And why should Americans savor this day as well? Because 4,000 Mexican soldiers smashed the French and traitor Mexican army of 8,000 at Puebla, Mexico, 100 miles east of Mexico City on the morning of May 5, 1862. The French had landed in Mexico (along with Spanish and English troops) five months earlier on the pretext of collecting Mexican debts from the newly elected government of democratic President (and Indian) Benito Juarez. The English and Spanish quickly made deals and left. The French, however, had different ideas. Under Emperor Napoleon III, who detested the United States, the French came to stay. They brought a Hapsburg prince with them to rule the new Mexican empire. His name was Maximilian; his wife, Carolota. Napoleon's French Army had not been defeated in 50 years, and it invaded Mexico with the finest modern equipment and with a newly reconstituted Foreign Legion. The French were not afraid of anyone, especially since the United States was embroiled in its own Civil War. The French Army left the port of Vera Cruz to attack Mexico City to the west, as the French assumed that the Mexicans would give up should their capital fall to the enemy -- as European countries traditionally did. Under the command of Texas-born General Zaragosa, (and the cavalry under the command of Colonel Porfirio Diaz, later to be Mexico's president and dictator), the Mexicans awaited. Brightly dressed French Dragoons led the enemy columns. The Mexican Army was less stylish. General Zaragosa ordered Colonel Diaz to take his cavalry, the best in the world, out to the French flanks. In response, the French did a most stupid thing; they sent their cavalry off to chase Diaz and his men, who proceeded to butcher them. The remaining French infantrymen charged the Mexican defenders through sloppy mud from a thunderstorm and through hundreds of head of stampeding cattle stirred up by Indians armed only with machetes. When the battle was over, many French were killed or wounded and their cavalry was being chased by Diaz' superb horsemen miles away. The Mexicans had won a great victory that kept Napoleon III from supplying the confederate rebels for another year, allowing the United States to build the greatest army the world had ever seen. This grand army smashed the Confederates at Gettysburg just 14 months after the battle of Puebla, essentially ending the Civil War. Union forces were then rushed to the Texas/Mexican border under General Phil Sheridan, who made sure that the Mexicans got all the weapons and ammunition they needed to expel the French. American soldiers were discharged with their uniforms and rifles if they promised to join the Mexican Army to fight the French. The American Legion of Honor marched in the Victory Parade in Mexico, City.

I like all the bells & whistles . For my part add some waving flags & fireworks too.

I remember something when I first registered called "karma" I think .It seemed to cause problems when someone got bad karma or negative.I would vote agaist having that back. I think that someone that got a "great post"rating would be happy but the one that got "your post sucks what the hell are you talking about" rating wouldn't be.

I'm still waiting for this to happen .Make a call & you get this:Please select your language: 1.English 2.Spainish 3.German 4.Itallian 5.Greek 6.Swedish(for Van Buren) 7.Portuges 8.French 9Native American 0. Chinese Then 9. is sub divided 1.Cherokee2.Choctaw.3,Shoshonee4. Iriquios 5.Eskimo till the number pad runs out again 0. is sub divided too !.Mandrian 2.Cantonese 3.Schezwan & so on Then since this still doesn't get every language on Earth someone sues because they were left out & descriminated against. The point Where does it stop?

I didn't really think so tommie but just making sure.Anyway it gave me a chance to add some more. Roco ;Just board a Mexico public transit bus in Juarez.Mexico & ride it across the border bridge into ElPaso Texas.The 2 times I rode one of these there was no customs check at all.Things may have changed since 911 though.

The Skull & Bones is probably a branch of the Illuminati.Those that have become above government & run things with money.That's the theory anyway.

tommie gorman ;I hope your last post was to Dark06.I didn't leave out the vietnam vets.POW's and MIA's on purpose.& yes they were treated very badly. I think we agree on 7 read what I think we should have done to Japan.I have a more personal perspective.I wasn't born yet but my dad served on 3 different tankers during WW2 in the Pacific.The reason 2 of those were sank by the Japanese.He spent time in the water both times.So the Japanese might have caused me not to have been born.Then & this is about the USA.The Navy let sailors from my dads ship walk around Hiroshima about 3 weeks after the bomb was dropped. 8,11.& 12 we agree. On 9 no I don't feel confortable with Korea having nukes.In their case once they threatened the problem would have been over.We didn't handle it that way though.I still believe you have to let countries govern themselves like we do the USA.Even if you don't like their politics.Its part of the price of freedom.The USA should respect this more not less.Then take action even severe action if they do attack us or our allies. To be honest I think some would defend the USA but I don't think the percentage would be very high.

show progress don't it.I have even heard cowboys refer to themselves as goat ropers now.So it has pretty well lost the insult. If you want a fist fight call a cowboy a "rope smoker".Unless you are addressing the ones from the movie "Poke Butt Mountain" or some simular title.

First I want this clear.I support the US military troops where ever they are sent.And thank GlocknLoad for serving us. It would even take a general with some brass cohones to tell the President "NO I'm not sending troops there.we have no business there"Where ever there is. That being said we were wrong to attack Iraq.We have to let other nations run their own countries as we have the right to run the USA.If we have definate proof their citizens have attacked the USA then we have a right to declare war & retalliate.I don't believe we proved this in Iraq this time.In the first Gulf War Iraq took over Kuwait & the USA had & probably still has an allience with Kuwait.We simply honored that alliance & kept our word.If we don't like the USA to have this alliance with Kuwait then we need to do what's necessary to legally change it.But when not attacked we need to mind our own business I have already posted my view on illegals in other posts. I want to address drugs coming into the country .I don't have a way to prove this but I doubt if more than 1% comes in carried by people.or even regular passenger vehicles.Think about how many illegal drugs are used in the USA everyday.To get that quantity it has to come in by shipping container & semi truck loads full.So I may blame the illegals for some things but not this.
