Now me personally, I think they're both idiots and that both mainstream political parties, with all their members should have been able to find someone better to put on the ballot other than these two f*#$tards, but hey, what do I know I'm just a Centrist leaning towards libritarian that voted like...

*sigh* I was hoping to avoid the housing costs. Hell, a decent house around here hits around $700,000 and that's for something 25+ years old. Also, most vehicles sold in the US are already california emissions standards compliant, or sell packages that can get the vehicles there for less than $400 ...

A safe, reliable car costs the same east coast or west texas. Same thing with educational goods such as computers, internet access, etc. Same thing with shoes and clothing, consumer goods and services. The cost of living isn't that much lower in rural areas. Particularly if you would like to live a...

I actually agree with virtually every thing you said here. It is just bad judgment to pull out the troops at this point. My main concern is that Bush can't admit when he made a mistake, and that could really cost us in the future. Having a man like that in the highest office in the world is just a ...

Part of working hard is working hard at the right job. There's a difference between working hard dumbly and working hard. You say your mom worked to get through college. What kind of degree did she get in college because she should have been able to get a better job. If this is a good job, let's as...

It's true Iraq was killing off there peoples by the thousands because the government was corrupt and would always be corrupt if not for American's. The same goes with World War 2. The only difference between these wars is that iraq didn't attack france and france cry for our help (again) after they...

The only thing I could add to Sarvis' reply to Dlur is this: If you dislike NAFTA, why did you vote for Bush? In his term, has he ever once tried to do anything about this? Sure, Clinton signed it in, but I have yet to see the republicans try to take it away. Double standards just don't work, man. ...

Oh, and to put it into words you educated hippies can understand: http://www.corporatemofo.com/stories/041103whybushwon.htm I think this sums it up nicely, especially the part where most of the US population other than NY hates the metrosexual lifestyle, and the part about growing a pair.

It's funny that you hate liberals so much when by any measure I've heard our "liberals" would be considered ultra-conservative in the rest of the world. So just out of curiousity, what is it you hate about liberals? The whole caring for other people thing? I hate that liberals want to take my money...

Actually, I do read a lot. I do listen to the news, and more importantly I read a WIDE variety of news sources from CNN, MSNBC, etc (big news) down to news sources such as disinformation.org and such (small extremely liberal media). I do read sites such as factcheck.org and others. Despite your insi...

Can't wait until all you hippies move to Canada. Then I won't have to worry about you standing around smoking pot and smelling like patouli. And I certainly won't have to worry about paying for you to go to college or sit at home and not work on my dime.

http://badnarik.org/whybadnarik.php Thanks for voting for Bush! You're welcome. As of right now looks pretty close overall, but Bush seems to be winning so far. If it came down to it, and I only had two choices: Kerry or Bush I'd still take Bush over Kerry so voting 3rd party doesn't bother me at a...

I have two main desktop systems: an Intel P4 3.0ghz system and an AMD Athlon64 3400+ system. So far I'm still thinking that the P4 is faster as far as I can perceive, but I've only had the A64 for less than a month, and I probably wouldn't have gotten it at all if Microsoft hadn't almost given it to...

Nog, sounds like they are going to stick with the LGA socket architecture instead of PGA though, except after Prescott it will go dual core, with hyperthreading. So each CPU will show up as 4 CPUs in Task Manager in XP or 2003 server. Should be pretty cool. I still wouldn't mind having a dual AMD64 ...

Dlur

Nog, some of the 533 chips do have HT, but why have a 533 chip when you can have an 800 for the same price? Sounds like we'll be switching to the Prescott core CPUs and the LGA motherboards soon at work since that's the path we're forced into by Intel. Hopefully the first generation of the LGA mothe...

P4 Northwood is the older, better performing core. I believe its a Socket 478 part and uses motherboards with the 533MHz FSB and runs wel with DDR memory. The PrescHott is LGA775 package type with 800MHz FSB and the newer boards require DDR2 at much more $$$$. I'd go with a Radeon over a GeForce al...

Heh, I'll enjoy seeing people try to muddle through the code.

My personal opinion would be to get a seperate video card from your TV tuner. Definately look at the http://www.hauppauge.com stuff for TV tuners. As for the motherboard, I would suggest the same as what Arilin suggested, as I'm the one that told him to get that board. AMD CPUs are fine, but I gener...

Odd that when Clinton was in office the unemployment rate was 5.6% and that was good. Now, Bush is in office and the unemployment rate is 5.5%(better) and everyone and their mom is bitching about the economy and jobs. Democrat Hypocrits.

The question Del, which you avoided, was : Are you sure you want these types of people with access to assault weapons?
