I personally think this is stupid. First of all, they already have faster chips: a PowerPC rated at 2.7GHz is the equivalent of an Intel chip at 5.4GHz. Second, if you want to run Windows, buy Virtual PC!

As I stated in teh other Ubunut topic, the installer is horrible...the console-style stuff at the beginning (I dunno why they couldn't put the simple installer GUI there), combined with the adrenaline rush of finally getting to isntall it, caused the loss of all data from my Maclena's hard drive.

Well, I've rpetty much decided not to use Ubuntu....it seems some of its coders are insanely dumb. First of all, you have to go into the console just to set up a dialup modem; second, there isn't any really nice form of confirmation for if you want to use "default" or "expert" installations modes...which led to the erasing of everything on my Snow G3 iMac's hard drive...including the keyboard and mouse drivers...and I'm not sure, but the filesystem mught even be gone, because the Mac OS X install CD won't show my hard drive as existing...and the eject key isn't working! Woe is me....

I seriously dunno what this world is coming to...seriously, you don't put a label on coffee cups saying that the stuff is hot, and you get sued when somone spills it on themselves. Anybody who attempts this should be thrown in jail for a looooooooooooong time, and their lawyers disbarred.

That's the thing: if the growth wasn't halted, they would be normal, living human beings. And besides, even if we did find a cures for diseases with embryonic stem cells, you couldn't eliminate the fact that the process did involve killing. Also, what's this thing about stem cells having to be used in a particular area? Stem cells from nostrils were being used to treat diseases like MS and MD.

@Axis: actually, anybody purhcasing a gun has their fingerprint run through the FBI's National Instant Check System. @qwijibow: Dude, I don't take it you've ehard of the woman who had a hot clothes iron pressed into her skin...if she had a gun, that woudn't have happened. Anyway, take Switzerland: every household is required to own a military rifle, and a sealed tin of ammo. The ammo tin has to always be there, but the rifle can be used as much as the resident wants. Shooting is practically a national pasttime. ever hear of mass-murders over there very often?

Well, I've decided to delve into Linux...I ordered some Ubuntu CD's a while back, but they haven't come yet. I wouldn't be complaining, but recently I saw a new mailman put a whole pile of stuff in one of these new package mailbox (something to prevent mail theft), I dunno if he even sorted it to see who all the stuff was for, and if a neighbor got it and didn't bring it over.... Anyway, I'm downloading Kubuntu tonight.

Embryonic stem cells? No way. It involves the destruction of what would otherwise grow and become a living, breathing human being. (Well, it kinda already is human, but the breathing part isn't there.) However, there are many other sources of stem cells, including umbylical cord blood. In fact, some people have been treated for diseases in Spain, using stem cells that were retreived from their nostrils.

Well, their goals are good and all, but I'm wondering: what'll happen to all the debris? Just wait, it'll join the junk that's already otu there in space and punch a hole in the ISS.

Hmm...I guess you could say Norton AntiVirus 2005, since that's my antivirus program. It removes stuff, so...

Yeah, I like it...It's my main email address. I just don't like how it automatically labels NRA email updates a spam....

Yeah, I'm excited...but I'm probably not gonna get it. However, my friend is probably gonna get his Grandfather's 5-license pack once he's put it on his Macs....

Yeah, DynamicDrive has a nice snow script...which is JavaScript, for your information. Anyway...I've also been to JavaScriptKit, and I think I'll check out the other links...I'm gonna play some DHTML games on DD now.

Well, let's see....I: Go to some forums, such as the Jaia Interactive support forum, and the an online micronation (I'm a legislator there, and we have a nice economy, so if anybody's interested, PM me) Talk to friends on AIM And that's pretty much it

I have a firend that's interested in learning some programming languages (he only knows AppleScript and HTML, but the latter doesn't really count), and he's kinda interested in Java. However, he's a die-hard Mac user, and the only PeeCees at his hosue are an ol'd desktop on Win95, and his Dad's Dell laptop. So, where could he get the JDK for Mac OS X?

Just curious, but does anybody else here like MyTopix or its predecessor, Thema Topico? For those of you who don't know, MyTopix is a relatively new system from Jaia Interactive. It's in beta, but the next build (1.3) is expected out within a couple weeks max, and it should reach final by the end of the year.....anyway, Thema Topico!, MT's predecessor, is a nice, single-forum system. MyTopix has a simple mode that is on by default when there's only one forum, but I kinda prefer the Topico word filter, so that's what I use.... So, anybody else like 'em?

1) Machine guns require a Firearms Retailer's license to own in the US, and it has since the 30's. 2) Ever heard of a hunting handgun? 3) I don't get this whole "assault weapons" thing. The ban itself just banned cosmetic accessories like bayonet mounts. 4) As for the drugs part, here's this:

You claim that if you ahd hit the guy, he would have killed you. However if you had a gun, you may have been able to use it and defend yourself. Also, why didn't his girlfried do anything? She could've pulled out a lamp or something and knocked him out. Oh, and when I gave you the drug addict situation, I meant high on drugs as in high, not high as in height. Most likely, the guy wouldn't care about your wallet. He'd be on some mad rampage and all he wanted to do was kill you. Also, you can't forget hunting.

Well I was kinda hesitant to download it again after some problems I was ahving with it when I first started (pages is Firefox just started shaking up and down like somebody was moving the scroll wheel), but I downloaded it again and it works fine. I jsut have to take it off when I play a racing game, becuase for some reason it's as if some arrow keys are acting like they're either being pressed at random moments, or they're stuck (which they aren't, and I think it may be both), 'cuz my car will swerve. Anyway, I was on the Xisto team for a little while, but I decided to start my own team.

Well, a few months ago Popular Mechanics had an article where they went over some 9/11 conspiracy theories and debunked them. Well, I got my May issue today, and I'm surprised at the amount of people who wrote in that actually believed those theories. It's really sad....

Um, I still don't get why the Protestants are called Christians while a whole lotta people don't consider us to be. The Catholic Church was the first Christian church, and was pretty much the only one ('cept for the Orthodox churches) until Luther broke off.

Gone? I'm sorry, but I don't think parts of the brain jsut disappear into thin air.

Dude, as I said, gun crime wouldn't really go down. People would either buy their guns illegally, or use knives. Plus, law-abiding citizens wouldn't be able to own them, so they couldn't defend themselves. Also, 'bout killing people: you believe that if some drug addict who's high, 6' 7", and running towards you with a knife, you have to let him kill you sintead of defending yourself?

As I said, she was making progress in rehab, 'til her husband put her in a hospice, and the rehab stopped.

Dude, she was NOT "brain dead"! Yeah, people claim the smiles and sounds and stuff were just reflexes or whatever, but as far as I know, nerves don't act up that long after death. The only form of life support she was on was a feeding tube, and that's just becuase she couldn't feed herself. She would have been able to, becuase she was making major progress in rehabilitation, but then her dirtbag husband puts her in a hospice. So, now he's got what has been said to be as high as $12,000,000 in money from a life insurance policy that he is believed to have had on her....
