  1. I also have a Brother, though it's a 110C (I think). The ink cartridges are cheap and the black lasts a long time. Keep away from Lexmark. Yes, their machines are cheap, but they kill you on the ink cartridges. I was paying $24 for black cartridges and they barely last for a month.
  2. AI is inevitable. If we don't give it 'emotions' it will experience no evil motivations like humans. No hate, no fear, no distrust. Just supercomputing calculators. Movies give AI evil human characteristics. It would not occur to AI to exterminate humans. Killing is what humans do. We are irrational little monkeys. AI will be superior and without ego.
  3. Definitely sounds like a head rush. That's when the blood rushes out of your head. Makes you almost faint. You kinda see stars in your peripheral vision, ears get a quiet hum that drowns out noises, lightheadedness. Usually caused by standing up too quick. No big deal. Could be an iron deficiency.
  4. is this a real movie? if so, thank you for ruining it for me.......
  5. In the old testament, god says if a man shall strike a woman causing her to lose her child he shall pay a fine. But if the woman dies, a life for a life.Clearly, the christian god places little value on the unborn, so the entire religious "I'm a Christian" argument is baseless.A fetus is nothing. It doesn't have the right to bear arms, or freedom of speech, or any other rights. Abortion is a tragedy for the woman. Not for the fetus. Religious people are trying to use the govt. to enforce a religious law, not even supported by their religion, on the rest of society, which violates the constitution, which Bush called "that goddamn piece of paper".Abortion is sad, but I don't want to tell others what to do with their genitals, so long as they're not hurting anybody.
  6. Sorry friend, but there's nothing you can do about the past. Statute of limitations has probably run out, and the guys were only 15 yrs. old anyway. What you can do is be there for your friend. Remember that it happened to her, not you. You're not the victim here, and you don't want to constantly remind her of the rape. If she could confront the guy and let him know how much it messed her up, you'd probably find out that the guy is now an adult and would truly regret his mistake. A sincere apology might help her to heal.
  7. Dreamweaver's better than frontpage, but Microsoft is now pushing Expression Web, which is superior to frontpage, great for designing with CSS, creates forms with dragging and dropping, and is standards compliant. frontpage is toast.
  8. I've been using MS Expression Web for the past few months. I was test driving it for free. It's so good that I bought it. Yes, it's standards compliant and has nothing in common with frontpage. Very good for designing in CSS. I wouldn't use NVU or Komposer since, like frontpage, they put garbage in your code.
  9. In February I lost my hard drive. I was in the middle of designing a site and lost my work, my software, everything. I tried downloading NVU and Kompozer, but they put 'spam' in the code, which ticked me off having to manually remove it all. I ended up desperately beta testing MS Expression Web. Wow! Great program! I now use it regularly. It's so easy to write CSS and to make forms. Its ftp functionality kinda blows, so I use filezilla for uploading.You can download it on the Microsoft website and try it out for 3 months. It's worth it. Since I was on the site, I also downloaded Expression Design. It's ok for creating logos, but it doesn't have enough power to do everything I need to do graphically. I'm currently using the Gimp. I need to get in touch with Adobe and Corel etc. to see if I can download the programs that I lost, but I don't really need anything else now.
  10. Since you've asked this question in the 'debates' section, I'll state my piece.+-50,000 years ago a (cave)man sat and admired his new spear. His female companion(s) made clay pots, which he observed. He then stared at the landscape. A question occurred to him, "If men and women make the weapons, the pottery, the huts, the moccasins, who made the trees, the hills, the creatures that we hunt to eat?" He answered his own question, "Must be a..........very large man!" So gods were born, as the answer to the questions that men can't yet answer correctly.There is no god(s). No one religion is any more silly than any other. Do you laugh at Zeus and the Greek gods, but think Christianity is somehow less silly? It's all equal.If there were gods, I'd reject them. I have no desire to be enslaved by a powerful alien from outer space. I support my species.
  11. If he can't afford to pay you (he can't) then his business is already in trouble. You actually have zero options. If you tell him you need the 4500 bucks he won't go for it, and if you want to be the IT Director of a company that has no working capital, you won't get paid either. Also, the website will be company property and sabotaging it will land you in jail. Move on, friend. This guy is a used car salesman.
  12. It's good to have a market niche. I create sites for one service industry, an industry I'm familiar with. I provide my customers with a well rounded marketing campaign i.e. a web site as well as advice on how to promote it, like putting the web address on company vehicles instead of a phone number that is difficult to memorize. Their customers can sign up for service on the site, making it a very good investment.Trying to find customers on the net with Google and Yahoo search is rough. It'll take a year for your site to gradually 'float' toward the top of the natural listings, you may not get further than page 3 which is useless, and sponsored search is getting pricey.
  13. I used to have a half wolf/half german shephard named Pax. He was a very cool and loving pup. Shephard coloring, but otherwise looked wolfish. I had to give him away when I moved to a pet unfriendly building years ago.
  14. We have 3 skipperkees (don't know if that's spelled correctly). We bought them from a breeder. They're jet black, knee high, and look like little werewolves. Our first is named Jazzy. We also had his brother, Spike, but he died, probably from a disease from the kennel, so the breeder gave us Jazzy's father. His name is Snapper for obvious reasons. He was the stud, but got old and couldn't get the job done anymore. lolWe recently bought Gypsy, a female, and now Jazzy and Snapper hate each other. They're competing for mating rights. We have to keep them seperated at all times.
