Isn't it obvious?

No, it's there. I discovered it was "on" when I restored the most ancient of my XP backup of the factory partition, post first boot, activated, converted to FAT32, to test my latest round for weeding out the new fucker error.

Once I find out what it was, I'll let you know. I think it worked fairly well, however, it wasn't a newbie setup, that's for sure. Very technical stuff if you wanted to do something beyond the default templates it included. However, that said, it did include a lot of templates for many situations, so, it gets points for that. From them, I was able to learn how to edit it down to select one on its own, etc.

Of course, you weren't there when Acronis first released the 9.0 version of the TI software. You've had the benefit of 6 months of updates. When it first came out, it just did not work at all.

I've been trying to find where Windows has hidden a setting I remember having ONE time before it got turned off somehow. There USED to be a setting you could enable where the All Programs link under the Start menu did not automatically open when you moved your mouse over it. You had to click on it to open it if you set it up to behave that way. Anyone remember what/where that was? Thanks!

I've been trying to remember/find a software package I had heard of a while back and gave a throw. It was some kind of boot selector for bootable CD's. You could put multiple bootable images on the CD and select the one you wanted at boot time. There were also several customization options to control how the boot worked, what loaded and didn't, etc. Can anyone think of what this might have been? I'm thinking something along the lines of Hiren Boot CD?

Oh, yeah... I had forgotten! ImgBurn DID kidnap my family and burned my house down! I had merely supressed the memory. Thanks! Now, my lawsuit can go forward, now that I conveniently remember those events that did not happen, as long as they help my case.

I really liked the line from Father's Day: "I picked another STUPID ape!"

Yeah, I had read that Rise Of The Cybermen takes place in an alternate reality where Rose's Dad is still alive. BTW, notice how many episodes have dealt with Rose going back to some point in time where her mother, father, or boyfriend are? Also, it seems that between the old series and the new, the Doctor has regained complete control of the TARDIS? Maybe without his race chasing him down anymore, there was no more need to be unable to control it, so, he finally repaired it? Then, what about the Randomizer and the Black Guardian?

Well, that's par for the course, now. You simply get it working enough to cover up the holes long enough to sell it. Shove it out the door and fix it later is the current professional software developer mantra. Nero, Roxio Easy Media Creator, Acronis True Image 9, anything from Symantec, anything from Microsoft.

Father's Day premiered last night. All in all, I liked this one a lot. Probably the 2nd best one of the 2005's I've seen. I could have done without the time monsters, though. Just kept the story on Rose and the Doctor. Rose dealing with her father and the Doctor dealing with a time anomaly. Because I thought they had just as good a story idea in the first half hour. Who wouldn't abuse, if given the chance, a time machine to save a loved one they never had the chance to know? I also loved how they had two sets of travellers in the area. The look on the Doctor and Rose delta prime's faces when Rose came running past them! Rose's motivation for being there at first, not to change history but to just be there so her dad doesn't have to die alone, is a refreshing change. And how Rose soon learned that though her mother told her glowing stories of her dad, he wasn't exactly the saint she made him out to be. Yet, he wasn't exactly the sinner her mother treated him as while he was alive. There were, though, some other problems I can't glance over. Why would ONLY Rose's changing of her father's death NOT be undone when the Doctor restores everyone else to life, as he claims? It seems a bit far fetched that there are time creatures whose job it is to kill anyone on a planet affected by a time anomaly, because that would seem to me to create an even larger one. Still, I have to give this show its points for a strong start and a relatively strong emotional tie with the central characters. While the execution does falter a bit in the last half, it still presented a new look on an old time travel cliche.

I've never found it that hard to believe it was how the German people reacted, actually. While it doesn't condone what they agreed to, of course, it makes sense they'd back anyone who offered them any kind of hope. Regardless of what it was. When there's no food on the table and someone says they will put it there, you don't really care what they'll do as long as food arrives. And, for a while, food did. Of course, the far reaching consequences for the price of that food... but, even then, I doubt the German people, even if they knew what it would cost, would have resisted. So, I can see how it all started. And, why it stayed around for the time that it did. Because there would part of those who resisted, but couldn't dare openly resist for fear or reprisals. And, naturally, there would be probably equal parts who went along with the whole thing entirely out self interests beyond merely protecting themselves from reprisals. But, from outright potential sharing of the spoils should the Third Reich have succeeded.

Sort of like when Movie_Junkie first posted on this. It just didn't feel "right" when I read it. Sounded like a too good to be true story. I wish I had thought of checking snopes then, but, it was spinningwheel, I think, who found it, initially. Let's see. Yeah. Credit where it's due.

If you want my latest conspiracy theory, check out my post talking about Jack Valenti. http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=1349 Now, part of it is true. But, once I get past the fact that it is Jack Valenti in the photo (And he is there.) the rest is but funny.

Wow... I don't know how it happened, but, I got the front page of Tehran Times itself, instead! I was reading an article called "Western media?s smoke and mirrors" from the actual Tehran Times' site... I clicked on that story as it was the one of the 3 that sounded the most like what I was supposed to be reading. So, my bad there.

Well, it's obviously propoganda. WHY, for something called the Tehran Times, is it in English? Why would they be seeking out advertising revenues, too?

Connie Sewer. She was a foul mouth porn star from the early 1990's. Connie Suer. She was a rabid prosecuting attorney who successfully nailed Connie Sewer. First in real life for evasion of taxes and then in a bizarre twist in her one turn as a porn actress doing Connie Sewer in a film.

Well, the moral may be pretty good. But, I don't recommend passing off legend as facts to tell it. Regardless of the case. As for your mother, you're right, I didn't mean it that way. I was pointing it out because, you have to admit, when we do state something as a true story and it must be true because our mother told us, it's funny when it's revealed not to be, right? And, we've all been there. It's embarassing at the time, but, it should... should ...make you laugh afterwards when you look back. Which begs the question, how did your mother find out? Does she receive e-mail on a regular basis? Or was she told this? Or do you even know, I guess is the best place to start asking. As for mothers telling stories, I offer this one from my reply to Movie_Junkie's original post: "I remember how my mother fell for a story being spread around. With her, though, interestingly enough, the story actually happened only because someone else was tricked before her. It was the story of how a year after 9-11, people were warned not to drink Coke products, or Pepsi, or what not. That another attack was planned then, and, someone repays a "kind soul for an act of kindness" by warning of them, cryptically, of the impending attack. My mother helped someone by providing them some change at a check out counter at the store when they were short a few pennies. Apparently, the person who she helped had fallen for the story of an impending attack and told her not to drink Coke products on the first anniversary of 9-11 because they had been told the same thing. So, yes, the story in this case really DID happen. But, only because someone else was fooled into believing it before and that drove the actual event into creation. Sadly, my mother didn't drink any Coke products, she later told me. When she told me of it, trying to warn me, I told her it was ridiculous and planned on drinking an extra Coke on the anniversary. And, I did." Because, for the Coke story, IF someone actually KNEW of such an attack... AND YOU DON'T TELL THE GOVERNMENT?! Sheesh! So, it has to be just spreading panic, and therefore false. I drank the extra Coke because I look for any excuse to drink an extra Coke. If it makes you feel any better, Movie_Junkie's post also said "This is not a joke, it's true!" But, such is the effect of urban legends. Everyone falls for them at some time.

This is an URBAN legend! It NEVER happened! http://www.snopes.com/rumors/budweiser.asp It is NOT a true story. Never was, no matter whose mother it came from. It wasn't true back when Movie_Junkie posted here about it, either.

Another one of my stolen ideas! I came up with similar concepts 14 years ago with the idea of self heating and self eating burittoes.

This just surprised me... Take a look at this famous news photo: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1...ndonjohnson.jpg Lyndon Johnson accepting the Oath Of Office for the US Presidency on Air Force One. Take a look at the man on the far left, sitting under the light and fan unit, next to the standing man in suit and bow tie, behind the bowl of flowers. I never knew it before! But, once I see it, it IS him. That's Jack Valenti, the 2nd most recent head of the MPAA! It all makes sense now! Jack Valenti, "special assistant" to the Johnson administration... he travelled back in time, told his past self about the future of, and in, Hollywood, and retroactively worked his younger self's way into a position of political power so he can affect the future! To give Hollywood more political power and make it easier to pass the DMCA and other chokeholds! Clever! Clever by half! Who knows... Jack Ruby... OR JACK VALENTI?!

Yes, this installer displays the problems of the last 3, at least. It is super slow, it will bitch that there is a problem with your Nero install, when there isn't; just click OK and the installer goes. Albeit like molasses. It will "disappear" from the screen sometimes and will appear to have stopped working due to its slow run. But, what can we expect? These are the same people who introduced, refuse to acknowledge, and won't repair the major error caused by their DVD-R DL engine in both NBR and Recode, that affects on Recode, e.g. regardless of the app installed. i.e. you can install an older Recode, but, install a latest NBR and Recode inherits the problem from Recode.

K-9 GETS HIS OWN SHOW! And, no, it's not "K-9 & Company: The Next Generation." http://www.scifi.com/scifiwire/index.php?category=0&id=35801 We do get some Jetix Europe shows on Jetix on Toon Disney in America. Including one Simon Furman wrote an episode for. So, maybe we'll get "K-9 Adventures?" Coming soon: "Dalek Adventures!" "GIVE ME COO-KIES OR I WILL EX-TER-MIN-ATE YOU!"

Nope. I don?t remember seeing it. Even if I did see it... I didn?t see it. LOL! Pass me another beer, please. Ah, EXCELLENT! The nanobots I have been gradually slipping into your drinks are working! They are selectively erasing memories of my choosing as well as increasing your desire for more of my poisoned drinks! The time for the final assault is near!

How could I forget the almighty clip art? I didn't include the Bob because if you are already worshipping Bob, you don't need an alternative to God. UNLESS you're blaspheming Bob and saying that people need an alternative to Bob?
