How wude! All he tried to do was pass along some smilies, and you have to go and tell him to bugger off?

I appreciate your vote of confidence in me. And, rest assured, I will try to justify your future faith in me by doing the best I can for myself.

Some would say every time you have sex, you take a gamble...

Dalek escapes for the first time on a North American network this Friday.

Was wondering if anyone knew the RipLock state, present or not, active or not, able to be turned off or not, for the following listed drives? LG's GSA-4081B - I am relatively sure this one has RipLock active from the manufacturer. LG's LG GSA-4040B aka GMA-4040B - I believe the same is the case for this drive as for the 4081. Sony's DRU-500a - I believe this has RipLock and that it cannot be removed normally. But, was a firmware ever released where it was unlocked? Sony's DRU-700a which is, I believe, aka an OEM of the LiteOn SOHW-832S LiteOn CD-RW/DVD-ROM Model LTC-48161H

Being a resident of Nevada, sadly, this is not true. You can ask my brother-in-law whose currently sitting in County. By it, I meant that things that would illegal just about anywhere else, like whoring and gambling, are okay since the whole place was founded by mobsters.

Godawful things! My first boss smoked cigars in the adjoining room... but you smelled them all over the building! At my last job, someone in accounting who was the liason between accounting and IT, smoked them. Foul smelling things filtered even into the computer room. Where there was supposed to be no smoking! A friend of mine also smoked them... but, NEVER here. I can tolerate if someone visitng wants to smoke and takes it outside. BUT, even then, they bring the smoke back IN. I can tolerate that SLIGHTLY. But, I won't take cigar smoke!

And it's getting hard to see... room's filling up with acrid, choking smoke... Now, we really need some cigarette smoking and a coughing Smilie.

It is a case of do as I say, not as I do. You think the people who mandiated the laws that everyone get stopped, delayed, checked, double checked, rechecked, rectally probed, have their phone calls monitored, their library records perodically scanned, their movie rentals cross checked, etc. would make sure they WEREN'T exempt from the same interference? WRONG! The people on Capitol Hill, etc. don't get searched. Just waltzed right in as long as they're wearing "da button," nothing that could be easily forged or anything! What would you expect? These people don't even READ the laws they pass or fail! They merely go with ad hoc public opinion based on what they're told is in a bill.

The thing that gets me is, as has been pointed out, why would any terrorist BLATANTLY flag something they want to hide with a ? on it?! TOO easily draws attention! That would have been like one of the terrorists who flew into the targets on 9-11 wearing a golden T-shirt with a ? on it. Eh, actually, he probably WOULD have passed through unaccosted, anyway!

"They're signing up the seamen fast!"

I've had the plot all along! It's right here in this little bottle. Labeled PLOT, clearly, in big, bold letters. Oh, no, that's the one that says POT. My bad!

Mars has a relatively neutral atmosphere, so, yes, Venusians could withstand a common cold. The trick is they bring their own bottled atmospheres. Those stupid Martians came here and thought they had the world to themselves. But, the buggers were dumb enough to breathe our air, even though there is none of it on Mars to breathe, so, go figure. The Venusians were laughing their 3 asses off (Two in the back, one in the front.) when their probes beamed back the pathetic Martian invasion of 1898. Even more so when the dumb Reds, as they call them, tried again in 1938, 1953, 1988, and 2005.

Oh, man, check THIS one out... http://www.gamespot.com/news/6147012.html "Power-up prank lands gamers in trouble Ohio girls face potential charges for joke after bomb squad is called; teenagers made life-size Mario power-up boxes, hung them around town. Games have gotten some kids in trouble again, but this time it's a far cry from the Devin Moore case, which continues to make headlines. This time the source of the problem wasn't an M-rated game like Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas or Doom, it was the seemingly innocuous Super Mario Bros. In the town of Ravenna, Ohio, five teenage girls, ages 16 and 17, crafted some life-sized power-up boxes modeled after those in the NES classic. The cardboard boxes were covered in shiny, gold wrapping paper and had the black question marks familiar to most gamers. As an April Fools joke, the girls laid 17 of these boxes around the town in public spaces Friday morning. The humor was lost on some residents, however. After noticing one package on the steps of a church, a concerned citizen reported the "suspicious package" to local authorities, who called in the county's hazardous materials unit and the bomb squad. Upon further inspection, no materials designed to harm people, mushrooms to increase a person's size, or flowers that bestow the ability to project bouncing fireballs were found inside the boxes. The packages were empty. Ravenna Police Chief Randall McCoy told the online edition of the Record-Courier that one girl came into the police department with one of her parents and claimed responsibility, saying it was just a joke. Apparently, the girls got the idea from the Web site Qwantz.com, which gives detailed instructions on how to make the boxes. The Web site intended the posting to inspire art projects, and several subversive artists have submitted photos of their Mario blocks in action across the country. The girls face possible criminal charges for their actions. While most in the online community think the authority's actions are a tad extreme, McCoy defends the proceedings of his department. "The potential is always present when dealing with a suspicious package that it could be deadly," McCoy told the Record-Courier. "In today's day and age, you just cannot do this kind of stuff." A posting on Quantz.com responds to the incident in Ravenna. "Not everyone has the same cultural context and not everyone is relaxed about public spaces. [The idea of the project] is to bring a smile to people's faces, to get them to connect with their neighbors, to bring color into an otherwise grey urban landscape. [We] are deeply sorry that things are not working out in Ravenna." By Tim Surette -- GameSpot Posted Apr 3, 2006 3:21 pm PT" Anyone who wants to prosecute underage girls for a prank like this is a fucking idiot! There, I said it! HOW many terrorists are going to leave a bomb with a GODDAMN QUESTION MARK blatantly on it?! "A golden box... with a question mark on it... golden box... gold... streets of gold... Heaven... question mark... perpetual VIRGINS! GOOD ALLAH! 'TIS A HOMICIDE BOMBER'S BOMB! Goddamn it, Muhammad!" I mean, with those kinds of clues, you might as well suspect ? And The Mysterians of making an unexpected, unintended come back! Jesus, it's been 21 years since Super Mario Brothers was unleashed upon the world! Every kid since then has been exposed to it. Thus, by proxy, those kids who are now adults know what it is! It's not like it's a mystery WHAT they mean... WHY someone would do it, yes, I can see asking that question. Because, it is kind of dumb. Especially for an April Fool's Day prank. I mean, WHO are you intending to fool? Although they never intended to trick anyone, those two sure made a fool out of some tight assed people who revealed their sheer stupidity overreacting to this.

Hey, I've gotta go with the winning side! Any race that can withstanding breathing layers of sulfuric acid has got to have the advantage over us.

Blue steel beauty?

We are the Individual Two! The world's most powerful, smallest army!

I was thinking that was probably must have been what happened. Because, if Pain Man was made part of the team... I'd walk off in protest and spill my guts to the Venusians who can use any and all info they can get to CONQUER US ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!

The 1007 set did change the text of one of the controllers to "Intel? 82801EB USB2 Enhanced Host Controller - 24DD" apparently also gave it a boob job! Driver version # is listed as 1001, so, I guess that's all as it's supposed to be.

I would copyright every swear word. I'd be set for life on Hollywood royalties in the first year alone!

How can I slip corrupted firmware out into the wild in some of the more popular drives if NEC keeps changing the locations on me?! I have developed firmware commands that tell the drive to spin up discs to their fastest, then eject the trays, flinging the discs out like helicopters of DEATH! Kind of sounds like an old Doctor Who serial title, doesn't it? "DOCTOR WHO! HELICOPTERS OF DEATH! BY TERRANCE DICKS EPISODE 1."

So it is. It had been returning forum not found errors and some SQL type errors, indicating database problems.

So, you looked here? http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts-df...45&submit=Go%21 Christ, I hate when they do this! This makes like the third time in recent memory I've posted this "Why can't people be consistent with this ?!" So, should the 975x page replace the 875PBZ page I check for updates? i.e. would the BIOS here be for my board, too? I would say no, just for obvious reasons, but, thought I'd ask.

You said it, not me. So, it must be true! Right?
