    Please screw up Obama

    Pabst: "Personally I don't have a single friend who's net worth isn't greater today (and markedly so) than in 2000. " 8-year increase in median household income in 2001: $6,000 6-year increase in median household income in 2007: negative $1,100

    Please screw up Obama

    Pabst: "Sure with the benefit of 20/20 hindsight one wouldn't let them board. Hindsight is useless." Receiving a brief stating that the airlines are at current risk of hijackings is not hindsight. It requires the reader to do one thing: raise airport security.

    Please screw up Obama

    Would the terrorists have been boarded onto the flights if the airports had been on a higher alert? We'll never know. Because Bush didn't do his job.

    Please screw up Obama

    Pabst: " Many of the 19 hijackers were detained in security checks." So airports did their job. Bush didn't do his job. One doesn't excuse the other.

    Please screw up Obama

    Pabst: "What do you mean by "stop"? Was Bush supposed to GROUND all U.S. Airliners based on incomplete scant evidence?" He was supposed to put the airports on alert, as Clinton had previously done. He didn't.

    Will Murtha apologize about Haditha?

    ZZZ: "Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham (R-Calif.) resigned from Congress yesterday after tearfully confessing to evading taxes and conspiring to pocket $2.4 million in bribes, including a Rolls-Royce, a yacht and a 19th-century Louis-Philippe commode." That's a lot like jaywalking -- hell...

    Will Murtha apologize about Haditha?

    Murtha also needs to apologize to the troops who courageously fought in My Lai. Most of them were not convicted and so like this case that means that the victims died of natural causes.

    Will Murtha apologize about Haditha?

    "A case could be made that Murtha's public position may have contaminated a possible jury pool." ??? How "not guilty" do they have to be found before the jury pool isn't contaminated? "I believe the innocent marines are going to sue Murtha for libel" Then you would be foolish. There is...

    2ticks: ] It is so rare infact, that HP has made public a specific procedural fix? No, this is not a public fix. ] Doubtful it's applicable to the OPs problem given the Intel mobo, but it is interesting... in the case of HP, very rare might mean several 1000s of units. Yes, that's...

    Never was a Muslim, eh?

    "Why lie about it." He hasn't. In fact, he has a huge family some of whom live in other countries. I know a Muslim, and that does not make me a Muslim. One thing that's become apparent over the last eight years though, is that the Republicans don't dare to discuss policy issues.

    Mainboard accepting Fewer RAM Sticks

    " Didn't see where you say you spent 3 dollars and changed the CMOS battery. " Certain HP's have a problem which requires a jumper to be pulled and reattached after the CMOS battery is pulled, then put back in. And this does cause a boot issue, but it's very rare.

    Mainboard accepting Fewer RAM Sticks

    Sounds like you have too much draw for the circuit. You may need an electrician. See if it boots if you cut down on the various appliances you have plugged in. Take a voltmeter to the old line and see if it's low, under 110V or so. Or take the computer to a different circuit (or two...

    What build/version of TWS is the most stable?

    The only issue I have with the latest version is that DDE under Excel in Windows 2000 only locks up. Under Windows XP it's fine. Bit of operating system flakiness on 2000 I guess. I'm going to try it under Linux and WINE to see if it's more stable so I can have a consistent platform...
