L'orignaux inconnu

Hélas! A new keyboard costs about $20. See Benq. Mine has been fine for years. Another reason for me to avoid Windows 7. I don't have enough memory, and I have a very gold gpu that it soesn't like. The latest and greatest should not require eveyone to get a new box. This is called "churning the market".

Alors, donc! I thought they would be like lubricants, hien?

The rest of RTMT can be found here with an addon here. To merge files into a single DAT you can use Reader Once you download it look for Merge Dat in the Option Menu quote> Well, thanks. My friend. Since we are on a Linux system using wine the Reader and the Traffic Simulator Configuration Tool are giving us problems, because we have to learn to manually configure them for the wiine emulator. However, the plugins are fine. It only took three hours to install them with all the dependencies, including upgrading the NAM. I really like SAM, it makes my rural areas, and my chi-chi downtown areas look much better. My big hospital now has a nice parking lot. Haven't explored the RTMT completely because I am having graphics glitches with SC4 running under wine. Am dickering with winehq to try and solve this. Whoops, the theme from ET just came on, and I am going to stop to listen to it.

Vivat NKBB. Vivat Nederlands.

Well, at least they are trying something that might even work. Sometimes the best of intentions have a real cost.

Sorry, Red. I was irritated. Sharku indeed!

NKBB! NKBB! A bas l'España. Viva Nederlands. Three hours to go. Gimme that vuvuzuila!

Had to give up Ella. Static on the outer tracks. Have to solve that. Put on some movie music. Currently: Ride of the Valkyries from Apocalypse Now.

Ooops! Wha hoppen? Too much $$? Check and make sure your processors have separate L1 & L2 caches and see if you can have an L3 cache or that the processors have segmentation, and not just paging. Josh, why would anyone want an edition of 7 other than ultimate? I just looked at the comparison chart, and for the few extra bucks, it just isn't worth going for a smaller package. Since I am not a windows user anymore, I am completely stonkered by their reasoning, as perhaps are you? With my Linux based system, I can custom include thousands of packages to suit my purposes. The basic disk, after the first update to make it current, leaves you with what I would call Windows 7 Ultimate equivalent, then you can go from there. If you have a big enough machine, you can download the media studio which includes several graphics, sound and video editors. to run the video editors you need lots and lots and lots of machine. I wouldn't try it with less than a quad core system. And, of course, all of it is free of charge. Good luck with Win 7. I assume you are going 64-bit. By the way, the RISC processor that IBM uses for AIX is 128-bit and their version of UNIX thinks everything has a core address (very much like Multics of the 1950's and '60's). The paging is so smooth you wouldn't notice it if you weren't watching the disks.

Originally posted by: panthersimcity4 As someone who does practice religious... erm, stuff, I think that theocracy is a very bad idea. It usually causes persecution of people who don't follow the same religion as the "official state" religion. Even the most peaceful religion can be warped into a totalitarian war machine. As for Vatican II, IMHO, it was a step forward. There's nothing wrong with them changing as time goes by. I think the problem many people make is try to assume the Catholic Church some sort of magical entity that is just perfect and covered in sparkles and rainbows. The Church is a human institution... and humans make plenty of mistakes. Any Catholic who would say the Catholic Church has never made a mistake would just be in denial. The Vatican doesn't sit on clouds in heaven, it's located on earth... where civilization changes... but that's just my opinion though.quote> Eh bien, mon ami! I most certainly agree with your first paragraph. There are examples in the Catholic Church. You only have to look at the period from about 500 CE to around 1600 to see the Church with a grasp like a limpet on everything, and the Inquisition to back them up with fire and other nastiness. As a non-practicing Catholic, I can assure you that the feet of all those statues are made of clay. Some early council, probably the one at Nicea that did so much to nail stuff down, promulgated the dogma (arf, arf) that the Pope is infallible when speaking from the throne of Peter. Nice for the chief executive, but really hard. Think of the mess that poor Pius XII got into with the NAZIs. He didn't know which way to turn, and God wasn't talking. Meanwhile, we are really talking about the possibility that Indonesia might become an Islamic State similar to Iran. I think there are enough bad examples, including the Taliban (teachers??) regime in Afghanistan to put that idea in its place, the ashcan. Only the Shia, who have power hungry imams, would dream up such a thing. What about the Sunnis? What about the Buddhists?, the Christians as someone said, are People of the Book, and are accepted. What about the Taoists? etc. It might start out fairly tolerant, but within two decades you would have thought police all over the place, and a dictator who would be about as benevolent as the Grand Inquisitor at the court of Ferdinand of Spain in 1490. Maybe I'm being optimistic, what with the long view of history and all, but I think that Islam is in a development period similar to what the Church went through in the Dark Ages. With good will and luck, we can short circuit that trip for them, and have them emerge into the bright uplands of tolerance and fraternity.

Well, you also need some improvement in vision or believing what you see. Orignaux is Français for moose. Prends garde, mon cher, mille kilogrammes sur la route nationale.

Can't read books. Damned hooves can't turn pages, just rip them. Besides, they get all wet here in the woodland ponds. The grass is good on the bottom.

You could call it an experiment in multiple personality disorder.
