  1. Just a thought but it has been 3 years since the search for Bin Laden has begun. Lets say Bush gets re-elected and another 4 years go by with no capture. Ok now we got new president, who ever that may be and after a year or year and a half we capture Bin Laden finally. Are you guys going to stand here and say it is because of the Bush administration we caught him?

  2. If this story is false than why is it still all over the news every night? I believe the reporters have the same access to your information but for some reason the facts dont add up. Kerry's people have nothing to do with this release and why shouldnt they use it to there benifit if they can. Just more proof how poorly the Bush administration runs things. Bush accepted this job, so what ever problems occur are his. Just as your boss hires you, he is responsible for what happens regardless if he is there or not. Wasnt it Bush that was on that ship that boasted "Mission Accomplished" ?, Well we all know that is not true. Wasnt it Bush that said "well I dont believe we know what global warming is" ?, Isnt this just a dumb thing to say?, Wasnt it Bush who said we are going to war for weapons of mass destruction? , We know that is not true. In the 2 debates between Kerry and Bush, I remember Kerry saying in both of them that the Bush administration at one point had solid intelegence of Bin Laden's ware abouts and they chose to send in the local gollia's and you know what, Bush never made 1 rebutal of this fact. Don't you think if we sent in some of our finest for this mission we would not be at war today? The world would of seen once again USA talks the talk and walks the walk. Come on man if you were the president and had to make this choice it would be a no brainer. This is a bad choice made by Bush and you got to wonder why this was not a high prioritty of the administration.

  3. I dont know, it all seems fishy to me, first off Sadam didn't know the exzact date we would attack and even before we attacked you would think our intellegence would be looking at these sites via satilite before attacking. The news state that the UN inspectors where there 2 months prior to the day we attacked and either way you would think we would have had someone stop and search the site while others moved forward. The Bush people are fumbleing all over there words on this. One day they say something and the next day they come back and say something else which leads me to believe these weapons were never gaurded and were stolen. The other thing that gets me is that he sent our troops heading towards a stock pile of weapons and they new nothing about it.

  4. Well now that I have looked more closely at the newegg site, some of them cards are refirberished. So that makes since why they are so many price difference. I see that newegg is the same price as bestbuy on the same card but from reading the comments I think newegg ships faster. Anyway I think I will hold out till around christmas and see if any deals pop up.

  5. I been thinking of upgrading my video card and am willing to spend some money within the 4 to 5 hundered range. Right now I run the ati radeon 8500 128mb and would like to stay with ati. So I went to newegg lastnight to look at the price of a x800 and this is where I got confused (not much of a pc builder), First my pc consists of:

     

    XP Professional (service pack 2) OS

    Gigabyte Pentium 4 Titan Series GA-8PE800 motherboard

    Intel Pentium 2.4 processor

    1.00 GB Ram

     

    I see my motherboard agp slot only supports 4x (would like to get card that supporst 4x/8x) and have no idea if it supports this PCI-Express x16 but always thought agp was faster. I would also like the card to come with the x800 475mhz and 256mb GDDR3/900mhz and not the 450mhz x2. The card is mainly going to be used for gaming, the tv jacks, vcr jacks and what not are useless to me, so should I go with the X800 PRO or XT? I also see all these cards being made by Sapphire,Info-Tek, Asus, Powercolor, MSI and Gigabyte. Which one is better? I am hoping someone here can help me out, I just want a good card for gaming purpose and the best deal I can get. I wouldnt mind buying one that came with some games but a barebones one would work also.

     

    The other question I got is, when I bought my PC I didnt buy a high dollar case and am wondering if I should by a new power supply for it. Most likely the one I got is only 250 or 300 watts. If so what would you recommend on power supply?

  6. Both canidates are equally bad. What was Bush doing in the 70's? Getting drunk, filling his nose and bankrupting another company? I watched F911 and I dont recall any of Bush's people defend any issues's that were in it except the whole movie is wrong. All the facts dealing with the Sadias were desturbing to me and makes since why we still have not looked at that side of it. I know Kerry he isn't much better and Gore wasnt either but the one thing I can not stand is somone who does not admit there wrongs. We all aint perfect but come on when you bump into someone you say I am sorry or excuse me. Am I the only one who see's when you ask Kerry a hard question he might not give a direct answer but he talks about it and when you ask Bush a hard question you get Ummm Ummm Ummm then he talks about something else. I have seen Kerry admit to his miss qoutes (wrongs) or what ever but have never seen Bush admit to (wrongs) anything. So with 2 unwearthy canidates I chose to go with the more admiting canidate.

  7. I was reading another forum and they were talking about how Valve releasing Source to buy by downloading it to your hard drive. Which means less retail copies they will have to produce. Good marketing idea but unfortunitly Vivendi is now suing Valve for preloading HL2 on your hard drive. Vivendi claims Valves Steam Copntent Delivery System is (and DUH) cutting into thier [Vivendi's] over the counter profits.

  8. I still vote for Kerry, I am so sick of Bush's scams and not telling the truth from the day he won the last election. When was the last time you heard Bush stand up like a man and say "I made a mistake"? Never, We all know he has made mistakes but for him to never own up to them shows how much of a scamer he really is. All the people who are making lots and lots of money on this war are people Bush or his cabinet have had or have some kinda of business realtion with and to top that off he gives himself and them huge tax breaks. Look at the big picture, if Bush is this great leader they all talk about and Kerry is this unqualified leader they all talk about, then why is the race so close and Bush looking to enter his 2 close election race.

  9. I couldnt tell ya if that was the same or not. I knew the KFC one was on there but I havent seen it since I have nothing to play that type of video and was under the impression that this was diffrent. LOL I guess my noobness is showing. :=

  10. Pong all the way. Only video game of that time I believe. Then we got a atari 2600, I can remember paying 40 bucks to get pac-man when it came out. Friend up the street had the coleco vision, pretty fun unit but the way they did there joysticks wasnt very intellegent, I can still here them cracking in my head. We always played ladybug on that one. Then I got a atari 400 and played Zaxxon and then nintendo and then sega and the Joe Montana Football, got the 32x adaptor for the sega. After that it has been all PC, I have never bought a console game since I went to PC gaming and can remeber playing on them green or gold screens, I remeber Aztec, ultima, and some ladder game, then came windows 3.1 and so on.

  11. Anyone going to get this game? I been looking real hard at it and will mostly likely pick it up. Been real happy with the LucasArts games I have bought in the past but never really played them in the multiplayer mode. The game looks like it would fit real good in our choice of games around here but time will tell us if it gets popular enough for us to even consider it.

  12. Times art tuff with the econemy being so poor. I looked for a job for about a month and a half before I finally landed a new one. They said at school your friends are your best networking for finding a new job. I was one that always got the Sunday paper on Saturday night and looked for any job that would fit my sititution. I also bought a cd that helps you make resumes, cover letters, thank you letters and all kinds of other stuff and woudl spend Sunday night tailoring my resume and cover letter to them specific jobs in the paper. With my current job I always had Mondays off so that made it easy to be at them companys first thing in the morning. I also spent money on nice folders to put my cover letter and resume in and let them keep everything. It was kinda frustrating to becasue 9 out of 10 times I would have to fill a app out even though I had resume, so I always carried my job history with me with the exzact dates and info. I got alot of interviews but also got turned down to but some tricks I used I think greatly improved me to being a top 3 canidate at just about everyone were. At the end of the interview I always told them "Thank you for giving me the oppertunity to interview for this position and I hope to hear from you soon" and then the next day I would go out and by a nice Thank You card and personaly write them a short and sweet note in it about how I enjoyed the interview and the knowledge I gained from learning about the company and express to them how I am the right canidate for this postion and send it to them. I would wait a week and call back and ask them on the status of my app I put in last week. In these days and ages I believe you need to be aggresive but not to aggresive when it comes to finding a new job and dazzel them with what you know. The one thing that crushed me in a interview once was when they asked me what my weakness's are and I was not prepared for that question at all but I learned from that and came up with some good answers for that if I were ever asked again. They were "Weakness's: Public speaking (most people are afraid and terrible at this), another was "sometimes I through myself into my work to much" (meaning I spend alot of time before and after work at my job helping others). I hope some of this helps you out and wish you the best of luck in your search. Any edge you can gain over the next canidate with greatly improve your chances of landing the job you want.

     

    As far as unemployment goes you can collect it for 6 months and then you can apply for a extention for another 3 months is usually the standard but I know that Bush passed a thing a while back that let you collect it for up to 18 months I believe but not sure if that has expired now or not. I collected it once, worked for a company for 12 years straight and then they closed the business, I qualified for the max benifits and I believe it was about 250 bucks a week.
