I am quite skeptical about this because the Y2K turned out to be no real problem. I am guessing since there is prior warning the bugs will be fixed and it will be a few minor glitches here and there. I am not worried about it lots of things like this are false alarms.

I really enjoy games like The Sims where I can control the environment and what the people do. Its kind of freaky though how sometimes my own life correlates with that game a little too much. Just like the Sims or any other simulator game I have a certain amount of freedom to do what I want. But every once in a while I feel like I am being forced into circumstances that I can not stand or seemingly have no control over. It sometimes feels like I am being directed what to do. Sometimes I wonder just how much of our lives do we really have control over. There is so much in our environment and lives that has an influence on what we do, say and act on. I occasionally wonder if we are a bunch of pawns on someones chess board. LOL I am not sure if anyone else remembers the movie Tron? Well that was a movie about people who were forced to live a game while someone else was controlling them and did not know it. Freaking amazing concept for the time. I was very facinated by the idea. There have been other movies that have used games as a way to control people's lives. Last Starfighter used a video game to find the last starfighter pilot to save the world lol. Anything that involves the possibility of someone or something else controling us facinates me. I think that the Sims is very much the closest to that feeling most people get sometimes. Its weird really how we can be controlled by outside influences. LOL

i want to thank you for posting. It really angers me when people who are ill informed as to what is really going on there say we need to bring the troops home. There are obviously a few soldiers that are not going to like being there to help. But a vast majority that I have talked to or seen are with Bush completely and understand why they are there. It really saddens me that so many people are not supportive of what has to be done there. Unfortunately I think it would take more than a few planes falling into a few buildings before the large amount of people who don't think we should be there will be convinced that we are at war. I am proud of all the soldiers and glad thaat they are fighting for me. My heart goes to all the families that have soldiers there and who have lost their loved ones. My heart goes to all the children and wives as well. May God Bless you all and may you bring freedom where it should be needed most.

I know that not everyone is in the US of A but I thought I would post a topic to find out what everyone who is in the USA or is american in the USA sense is doing on The Forth of July! I am probably just going to relax in my pool during the day. I will probably sleep in that day too. lol No big plans there.

Hey I actually just got done reading that book like two weeks ago. It was really well written. Did you know that the book started out as a short story that was half the size and then someone asked him to write the second half of the book and then published it. The version of the book I read had a couple of forwards that Ray wrote and talked about the making of the book. That was very interesting too. Its an amazing book. And he wrote it on typewriters that cost 10 cents an hour.

Wow that was very interesting. I did not know that was called virtualization. I thought maybe it was going to be about Virtual worlds which were popular in the late 90s and early in this new century. I learned a little bit more today. I have a duel booting machine with windows and linux but its not always easy. I used differant hardrives for my operating systems cause I have them.

First thing I want to say is whenever you get a beta release of any program be it a sophisticated well known company or a new not tried company the program will and always has alot of bugs. Its to be expected and as part of the terms of use the company will warn you that they have no guarentees of the usability of the product. With that in mind one should expect the New Windows Vista to be full of problems and issues.I am not surprised to hear that the new Vista is a system hog. Alot of Beta programs are. I have noticed that windows tends to push you to improve your computer with their software. Its really not in my opinion conductive to keeping your customers. Hopefully Microsoft will think in the big picture and improve the functionality of the product and make it so it does not bog down your ram and system resources but I am not holding my breath.

I definately like the original paint. I had lots of fun with it. I have seen that Paint is growing as a program but I would actually like to see it grow even further. Its a fun little program when you are first learning to make and edit graphics but because of it simplicity playing in it does not last long cause there is a ton of stuff that it does not do. I have always liiked paint but as I learned more advanced techniques for graphical design I had to move up in the world and in my graphical design tools. I still try to play with paint every so often but I kind of get bored with it. LOL

Wow I am glad its not real. That is kind of creepy. Then again I guess its kind of like having a normal pet you know. You would have to take care of it and make sure it gets fed and is warm and clean. Rodents only live two to three years so a bioengineered pet that only lives that long would not be too far fetched. Its kind of creepy though as I said before. People can sure be interesting. LOL

There is a text only version of the forums too which you don't log in to and can not post onto. I find it alot when I am doing searches on the internet. It lets you read the entries but not post to them. Its http://forums.xisto.com/index.php/ or something like that. Anyway I think its the text version for people who have really really slow computers and can not take the graphic intensity. LOL

I could not tell you the specifics behind it but I had some tech sauvy friends that did the two monitors and two mice thing on the same computer before. Its very interesting. You have to have a computer that has alot of ram. I don't know what software you need or anything like that but I do know its possible.

I thi nk that one of the things he mentioned in his tutorial was that this was the free way of doing it. I also wanted to mention that making the file hidden on top of passwording it is definately a good idea. My computer is passworded but I have it set up so that it will login on its own after a few seconds. My personal files are not passworded but you would have to have the password to get to any of the system files. So if anyone was to try to mess up my system they would have to get my password first.

The chemical is probably a trade secret. If they tell you waht it is then they may have other people trying to make it too. Also if the pantents are not completely gone through that may be why too. Also I think that the chemical is probably a liquid at room temperature. It honestly should be because of pressure. It could be though but I am thinking its liquid at room temperature because when the fan cools it to liquid form its using room temperature air. This is pretty fascinating though.

I had to take a moment to consider this topic because well there are alot of things that maybe alot of you are unaware of. First of all some companies have special software that they put on their company computers to keep track of where and what their employees do on the computer. Including keystrokes. Another thing is there are actual types of software that many businesses are employing that will allow the company to teach via the web a business partner how to use a web portal or something by sharing a desktop or something. Anyway if its possible to see what the other person is seeing or doing in that kind of software its not too far fetched that the government can see what your doing on your monitor about two miles away. Its very possible to put a device on the computer that will reroute a small enough amount of info so that you would not know that you are being spied on. There are a million possibilities out there.
