| Building your own from parts is -ALWAYS- cheaper. Remember, Dell has to pay hundreds of employees to assemble the machines. You don't have that cost. If you buy newegg parts, you can match any Dell or HP for only about 2/3 the cost. | |||

| That's funny because Triton is the first AIM I've ever used in which every feature actually works through the firewall. | |||

| That's weird because MY school (University of Connecticut) lost power yesterday. Coincidence or conspiracy? | |||

| You're asking the wrong group of people. Yes there are plenty of knoledgable people here but this is a little more than your basic "why my dos program close when i open it?" type of question that normally gets answered.
With that said. If you still need help by monday when my classes resume, I can ask one of my professors who probably knows the answer to your question. |

Originally posted by FreeDOS +Konqueror rips cd's too? I never noticed that feature before. In other news, CD's and DVD's wouldn't cost so damn much if they didn't waste so much money on the DRM stuff. Further, they wouldn't NEED to waste money on the DRM stuff if the government would crack down HARD on piracy and just crucified a few of the more major offenders. |

| Notice something even nastier? If the game is hooked up through a game genie, the game saves vanish.
Also, the fuzzy dizzyness doesn't use the SuperFX2 chip to do the effect. |

| All those partitions are are standard ghost images. I would get a copy of something like partition magic to make the partition visible from within windows, copy the ghost images to DVD, then wipe out the backup partition and expand your main partition. | |||

| You can't. End of story. Those characters are not in the ISO-LATIN1 extended codespace and the AIM text controls only supports the default 8 bit ascii codespace (Latin 1 ext on 99% of machines).
You have 3 options: 1: Give up. 2: Get AIM Triton which supports unicode. 3: Change your system default codepage to another one that supports the greek, keeping in mind that OTHER PEOPLE will still see them as '?' in your profile, thus making the change essentially pointless. |

Originally posted by Rydain I agree with all of the above post basically except for the implication made by the first sentence. The APA doesn't recognize alot of things that are problems nontheless. There is no "syndrome" for feeling bad about, say, failing a test. It's just plain old-fashioned traumatic. Just because something doesn't have an offical label doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Without saying anything about right or wrong, there are SOME women who have serious psycological pain following an abortion, it's a numerical fact. I briefly dated someone who had that very same problem. In other news: On a personal note, I am pro-abortion. There are WAY TOO MANY people on Earth. The fewer new people, the better. Let's concentrate on taking care of the problems with the current population before we make more population. |

| I think a good chunk of people diagnosed with Asperger's don't actually have it. Psycologists and psyciatrists, espically in the US, seem to somehow thing everything is somehow a syndrome or a condition. The problem with this is that it implies that any deviation from the norm is a problem that needs to be somehow "fixed".
Lets look at the Wikipedia broad definiton: "In very broad terms, individuals with Asperger's have normal or above average intellectual capacity, and atypical or poorly developed social skills, often with emotional/social development or integration happening later than usual as a result." Now, I am a Computer Science major at the University of Connecticut. The above sentence accurately describes just about every one of my classmates. Many of them have probably been diagnosed with Asperger's. Do that many have the condition? Probably not. The definition of Asperger's fits ALOT of people. Having now read the Wikipedia article in full, I've noticed that I have virtually every single so-called "symptom" mentioned in the ENTIRE ARTICLE. I'm smart, my coordination sucks, I'm very good at what I do, I tend to take people very literally, and I don't really give a shit about what other people are feeling. People who know me from IRC will also attest to the fact that I reinvent the English language as I go along. Does all this add up to some ominous condition? No. It's called my personality.

Originally posted by mattpYou know what I hate? I hate how *both* sides of the debate try to hide behind meaningless labels designed to simultaneously glorify their own position while simultaneously demonize the opposition. Does being pro-choice make your opponent anti-choice? Perhaps being pro-life makes your opponents the anti-life group. So on one side of this debate we have anti-life and on the other side we have anti-choice. Anyone notice a problem here? The real problem is that too many people in the abortion debate try hide behind labels and rhetoric rather then presenting a logical argument for their position. The whole thing is filled with religious nuts, women trying to justify a past choice that they regret, lefty civil libertarians, and moralistic nitwits. Nowhere does common sense play a roll in any of it. A slogan does not make a logical argument. When a debate has a distinct excess of dogma and emotion and precious little common sense and logic... ...both sides end up being dead wrong. (Moderator: Fixed formatting.)

| These google ads are scary. At the moment the ad says "APPLY FOR U.S. CITAZENSHIP TODAY"....
In an immigration thread.... Anyway it's important to clarify the topic here, are we talking about immigration in general, or are we talking about ILEGAL immigration? (edited by ||bass on 04-04-06 11:35 PM) |

Is there any free money from the government involved in this? |

| You need to learn to critically read to derive meaning. IF you had taken the time to actually READ anything I just said and didn't stare at the words for 20 seconds, thinking you've understood them and then pulling some wild assumption out of the sky, you'd be singing a different tune.
I didn't say "everyone who has been diagnosed with a disorder/etc. is faking it". What I said was that everything is somehow a syndrome to the ASA. People just like you are the victems in this case. Heres the problem: Lets say we have 100 people, 5 of which have an actual condition of some kind. The AMA says 40 of them have one condition or another regardless of the fact that 35 of those 40 are well within the range of perfectly fine. Now the condition has been normalized and that's going to cause nobody to take the people with the real problem's seriously. Do you freaking get it now? If everyone and their monther has some condition, the whole concept of "having a problem" loses its meaning. If everyone is sick, then noone is sick, and the people with actual real issues get ignored. ...but no, I'm the bad guy because god forbid my posts actually get looked into for deeper meaning. ||bass is one mean SOB and everything he posts HAS to be nasty right? Thanks again for reading and not just skimming my posts with asssumptions and preconceptions. |

Originally posted by Alastor the StylishYou're definately right. The problem is, you have WAY TOO MUCH faith in the general public. You're mixing common sense and reality with social perception which, as you know, are not even remotely related. Remember, Joe Society's brain turns off after hearing about condition Z for the 500th time. He stops caring and that's NOT what's supposed to happen. It's like the boy who cried wolf. If suddenly everyone has some syndrome or disorder, the people who ACTUALLY do have it get ignored. Lenina (my fianceé) has so many issues that they can't even definitvely tell us what they are let alone properly treat them. The problem is that there are armies of psyciatrists and drug companies cashing in on the latest syndrome with a catchy acronym and a media spotlight. I'm not saying that any disorders are meaningless, I'm saying that the medical profession is far too eager to say "you have a condition! you need pills NOW! you need to visit once a week for therapy until my new boat is paid off! you need X, Y, and Z!". Ultimately I don't belive in conditions and syndromes because I firmly belive that if you have a problem that it's a specific problem unique to you. Bio has a condition unique to bio. Schwa has a condition unique to schwa. Firemaker has a condition unique to Firemaker. etc. Lumping all of them together and saying "you are group X" serves no purpose other then objectifying them. Unique people DESERVE to treated uniquely and not according to some generalized cut-out pattern. I hate being categorized, I find it degrading and objectifying. When someone says "I am -insert label-." they ultimately sell themselves short. |
