    Mercutio: You've been seriously screwed, by a seriously psycho B. Realize it, and deal with it. It's happened to me a couple times, and, it's probably not completely her fault in this case. I'm sorry this happened to you, and, I'm sorry for the kid they are trying to adopt. S

    WHAT A PAIN IN THE ASS. After installing, and uninstalling PCMaclan, and the printer software drivers, and software for the HP, I finally found a setting in pcmaclan that defaulted to print warnings, "alter and send warning message" or "send as is" setting. It SEEMS at this point, that it's...

    It's so nice when a plan comes together...

    First time I played it loud, with an epic style DVD, my girlfriend was amazed, yelling it sounds better then the movie theatre. Of course, Klipsch ARE the movie speakers in most movie houses. If I ever have a really nice house, I'd like a set of Klipsch corner horns, maybe 4 in each room...

    :lol: Klipsch are pretty efficent. My upstairs neighbor used to have a dog that barked every 7 minutes, from sunup, to sundown, since he liked to bark at golf carts, and, that's how often they go by the house. I loved his dog, but, he just woudn't teach the dog not to bark. As soon as he...

    Interesting CPU Test

    Really :?: I have a dual Xeon 2.8 in the other room, and, with scsi in both, admittedly a dual cheetah raid zero on the Supermicro/xeon rig, there isn't any comparision between the two, speedwise. The Athlon 3000+ does shine at games, which might be what these guys are mainly intrested in...

    Cats can be distructive, and some people would get rid of the cat, if it tore up their screen door, and their 3000 dollar couch, or pooped all over the house. Still, if you have cats, they are your responsibility, sort of. Cats, IIRC, are considered property for which distruction does not...
