Free Republic

This is not surprising, really. This is just how the ruling elite in any Communist country lives.

IT huh? I suppose you got a 4 day supply of pizza too, right? ;-)

We bought a used 2003 Jetta TDI last summer. We love it so much the wife would like a Jetta TDI SportsWagon!

Does he have a Jetta TDI?

To the liberals of San Fran, what’s another dead family or two? How do the city officials of that cesspool of a city sleep at night?

bttt

My thoughts exactly.

I’m surprised China hasn’t marched into Siberia already.

The average Windows user has never installed Windows. They buy the machine with the OS preinstalled. When the machine slows down for whatever reason (usually crashes, malware, etc.) they go to Best Buy, and the blue shirts say, “Oh, what you need is a new computer”. And they buy new hardware rather than learning how to clean off the crap and tune their machine or hire that done (and if they hire it done, they go to Geek Squad and pay ridiculous prices).

And as Win XP is no longer preinstalled on new systems, hardware makers will not write drivers for XP for those devices (because they are writing them for Vista).

Now THAT’S funny!

Any word on things at Mustang Island? We have family who are supposed to vacation there beginning Sunday.

I guess you would have to clarify. Underneath wifi or ethernet (wired) connections are protocols. Linux excels at TCP/IP—the stuff of the internet, but can be finicky about Windows networking (called Samba in *nix), but I have found Vista to be finicky about Windows networking as well.
