Take a look at Benny Morris's "Righteous Victims" for a history of Israel(and Palestine) from about 1880 to 1999. Fascinating stuff, and certainly a history not well known to the average American.

What is the reason for allowing aliases? Wouldn't it be better if you had to stick to just one name?

I read once that dead pixels almost always crop up when the monitor is new, or not at all. Circuit City has a no questions asked return policy. So if a person is concerned about dead pixels when buying a new LCD, buy it at a Circuit City, or a place with a similar return policy, and watch it...

This sounds like what I want to do. But how does it work? Is there a program that will take care of it? I take it it's not necessary to install XP on the second drive, since it's just storing stuff? Thanks. Alan

Someone suggested to me on ET that I should get a second hard drive to use strictly for back up. The more I think about this, the more sense it makes to me(my first one failed after 14 months). How does this work? Does XP have to be installed on the second drive? Is there a program that...

I run two Matrox cards, an AGP and PCI G450. No problems, use the latest driver from Matrox's site, and make sure you uninstall all other video drivers before installing the one from Matrox. They have an un-installer utility on their website. Also see www.realtimesoft.com for a large...

I had the same thought.

I just put in a new motherboard and P4 chip, there really isn't too much too it. I would just suggest that you take some notes as to where certain connectors go... there are about a dozen, and while most could not be put in the wrong place, there are a few that are identical and you want to...

One of my favorite books. Alan

Fair enough. Politics frequently plays a part in capital murder cases. Prosecutors trying to gain publicity, to keep their name in the papers, planning to run for higher office, etc. We're learning more and more about the unreliability of eye-witness testimony today, as well as the...

When a person kills... or does other evil, violent things to a person or person what they in effect are saying is that human beings have no value. Why not take them up on their statement(actions). To me, a reasonable alternative to state sanctioned murder would be complete isolation. No...

I'm installing a new P4 to a new motherboard. Should I seat the pins in the chip before I install the heat sink, or is tightening the heat sink down the best way to seat the pins? I could support the motherboard from underneath and put pressure on the top of the chip if that is how it should...

Thanks. I'm going to play it safe, and get an anti-static armband before I even open the boxes. Alan

I received a new motherboad and P4 chip from IBM today, and will install them tonight(to hopefully correct my much talked about on ET high cpu usage problem, which oddly enough, has not been a problem the last few days). The big concern with this kind of work is apparently toasting a part with...

Gnome: Sounds like a good idea. I'll reinstall from the ground up. Getting back to my original question, there's nothing left inside the box after replacing HD, MB and P4 I don't know about that could still cause a problem, is there? Thanks. Alan

Gnome: What do you mean, MB and BIOS the same? The BIOS is in the MB, is it not? Thanks. Alan

I'm using XP Home.

I'm sure some of you will remember a few weeks ago the many posts made about my cpu's processor maxing out and freezing up when bringing up 3 or 4 charts plus MBTrading. Here is the latest to solve this problem: IBM is sending me a new motherboard and P4 chip. Since I replaced the defective...

Where is this setting found?
