    VISTA problems

    If you run a printer, scanner etc definately stick with XP for some time if you want them to work. This is not just a dig at Microsoft. Maybe the design team went on strike before completion ?? Microsoft claim its a security issue. They will be blaiming terrorism next --- Bug Laden perhaps LOL

    VISTA problems

    Thank you Mr. Gates for your offering BUT At present most of your hardware and a lot of your software will NOT work with Vista. None of the old drivers have been included. So that means we will have to wait while someone at Microsoft writes them in aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh !!!!!!!!! Its...

    When will Ford go bankrupt?

    My Renault "bit the dust" this week. Guess what I bought a 1998 Ford Escort 1400 from a mechanic friend 2 days ago. Seems to go well. The hatch door did refuse to clip shut, but after WD-40 and a lot of slamming it finally did. Price £500 - not bad I think. I hope the spares hold up even if...

    T Boone Pickens: Average $70 oil in 2007

    Those not so friendly Arabs are desperately trying to turn off the oil taps. They will succeed but it takes time. Roll on ethanol, that should shaft them nicely

    A Smarter Computer to Pick Stock

    Ray Kurzweil was the principal developer of the first omni-font optical character recognition, the first print-to-speech reading machine for the blind, the first CCD flat-bed scanner, the first text-to-speech synthesizer, the first music synthesizer capable of recreating the grand piano and...

    Middle East Meltdown and US Foreign Policy.

    At last the democrats are getting their act togethor. More troops for Iraq says Bird Brain. The Democrats should in my opinion make sure their dopey Presidents cant go to war without their consent and shouldn't be able to treat America as their private property just because they won an election...

    Middle East Meltdown and US Foreign Policy.

    No point in wasting any sympathy on that monster Saddam imho. He has hidden billions stolen from the Iraqui's and yet to be uncovered from secret Swiss bank accounts and other offshore financial holes. Almost comical to see the contenders for leadership of the Arab world shedding so many...

    2008: The first $1 billion presidential race

    I only wish there was something more than just $$$$$$$$$ to pick the leader of the world's super power. How about ability and integrity ??????? If those qualities had been the judging factor the US would not have got the following:- Bush - wasted 1000 billion dollars and half a million lives...

    Middle East Meltdown and US Foreign Policy.

    Lets suppose we have a new policy of sharing the wealth of the West with the less fortunate whether they deserve it or not. Now couple that with moderation and toleration and the Mid East problem is already looking better. Israel - why not announce a policy of indetermined length of...

    Middle East Meltdown and US Foreign Policy.

    Hmmmmmm getting a bit heated there doodoo ? – having to resort to abuse ? A sure sign of a lost debater. ( I’ll try not to call him a mental pygmy etc. even though it looks highly likely, seems able to read and write though ) Sorry SA I seem to have invaded your thread a bit. Just one more...

    Middle East Meltdown and US Foreign Policy.

    OK so the penny hasn’t quite dropped in some quarters. Lets put it another way they probably weren’t persecuted for their GENEROSITY. Great wealth gives the illusion of power but in fact all through history it has created the envy and greed of their not so nice neighbours and been their...

    It's sort of Man overboard IMHO :D

    Middle East Meltdown and US Foreign Policy.

    Yes well. Man seems to have completely lost the central point of my question. He doesn’t even try to answer it or understand it. I object to being called an Anti-Semite, especially after being careful to be neutral, but no matter, let’s press on. Name calling won’t get us any further along...

    Middle East Meltdown and US Foreign Policy.

    Hi Man Glad to see that you are interested. I am trying to look at this problem from a neutral dispassionate viewpoint. I feel there has been plenty of name calling already in the wider debate and it has only inflamed the situation; so what can be ascertained standing well back ? Is it some...

    Middle East Meltdown and US Foreign Policy.

    The obvious question that nobody ever seems to ask is why ? Why have the Jews been persecuted since the time of Moses and probably before ?????????????????? The follow on obvious question is what have they learnt from these unpleasant experiences ?????????????

    Confidence in George W. Bush

    Oh NO he can't be - latest on the news he is now thinking of extending US interference to the Sudan. You been there once before with the same old result. More waste of money and lives but dont worry Yankee friends Mr Blair, your very own poodle will be right behind you with Brit money and...

    Confidence in George W. Bush

    The pressures of Office are most likely too much for one individual. There was a movement to force the President to get - was it Congress or House of Reps approval BEFORE going to war. The Pres could wake up with a bad hang-over after a bad week and order something he might regret later. Years...

    Confidence in George W. Bush

    A better analogy for the current USA - might be the Dinosaur, huge muscle and hardly any brain. At least Clinton had a brain and some knowledge of the world even if he couldn't keep his zip done up. Please do the world a favour US citizens and don't vote for another Evangelical moron or we...
