Kerry/Bush, whatever...I don't think US foreign policy or environmental performance will change, and thats about as far as my interest goes. I'm actually beginning to reckon that Bush might be the better option, at least we know his shortcomings, and its a case of better the devil you know. But it just doesn't feel right. -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

"What I REALLY enjoy is posting something silly like this post and watching all the brain wizards and know it alls come out of the wood works thinking they are all that.. " So your trolling? Sarge, what about this post is interesting? Iraq AKA Babylon AKA Mesopotamia has been around for a long time? Well D'uh. Babylon is mentioned often in the Bible, interesting maybe, but significant? Oh and there's that pish again from you about the eagle, which IIRC you have posted before and it was debunked then as well. So, are you trolling? I thought better of you than that. -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

"Arguments for (or against) the existence of God" To the non believer, no explanation is possible, to the believer, no explanation is necessary. Its all about faith or the lack of it.

"There are Iraqi soldiers fighting WITH the US in their own land. Is that good enough." Essentially the same situation as the Irish troubles, there are some on the law enforcement side, there are those who are supporting the bad guys. Its a catch 22/Iraqi standoff....They won't stop fighting till the coalition leaves, the coalition won't leave until the situation is stable..... What worked in Ireland was the majority of the people just got sick fed up with the fighting, the curfews, the roadblocks, the erosion of peoples rights and freedoms. Get the people behind you and the opposition will collapse, of course, the bad guys are thinking the same way.... I reckon the best way to solve the Iraq situation is to get the clerics behind the coalition, it worked just dandy in Fallujah. -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

"The IRA were fighting in their land, for their land." John, don't get sucked into this quagmire based upon an erroneous statement. Since when was Manchester on the home turf of the IRA? http://www.manchester2002-uk.com/buildings/bombing.html Hows about London? http://www.mahk.com/sc4952.htm Another example of ignorance infesting the board........ -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

"have you seen the stats about the UK and guns lately?" Ah, different, MrM2,has done a bit of research into the cause of that, and also the victims.... Basically, yes its rising (but not where I live, its actually decreasing), its all down to gangs shooting gangs. Dave, you carry, you and I both know why, I can't argue with your logic, and I don't have a problem with it (your reason for carrying). However, its not that big an issue with us folks, it may become an issue if the gun crime starts to spill into 'normal life', until then, I don't see any party floating relaxation of gun control as an agreeable manifesto. Until then it just won't happen. Now we return to your normal service, sorry for the temporary side track.

Again, ADS make cases that you drop any HD or DVD burner etc into. My Maxtor ext HD just went tits up, something thats happened to a couple of pals, so can't honestly endorse them, I tried replacing the HD but it looks like the bridge interface is fried. It was pretty aged and has been very well travelled, but not really hard abuse. http://www.adstech.com/products/intro/products.asp ADS range link fer ya. I have no bad reports on ADS cases, but then again I have no personal exp of them. I'll be looking at one to give me a portable firewire/USB2 DVD burner later on this year, I'm also in the market for a replacement ext HD and will probably go ADS for both these cases. Be aware that some drives, cases etc are now being sold with 1394b, we need old fashioned 1394 on our connections. I don't know if the two are compatible. -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

Hi Jim, I use an ADS Pyro PCMCIA card and am pretty much happy with it. It comes in various flavours depending on bundled software. Its got a wee dongle thingie that splits to 6 and 4 pin, but I think thats pretty much standard. As long as they come with suitable drivers, and they are OHCI compliant, just about any card should do the job, or so I'm lead to believe. Good luck, enjoy editing on the go! -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

"I say it's hardly genocide when you have been given no choice but to view an entire people as a sworn enemy that vows your complete destruction! You do what they FORCE you to do!" The Russians have been pounding the fuck out of Chechnya for years man. Its precisely their 'carpet bomb the fuckers' approach to suppressing the Chechens that has resulted in this tragedy. Compounded in no small way by recent election fixing by Moscow. Don't get me wrong, the people that did this are vile, indefensible. But how did they become so desparate? The iron fist that everyone seems to be advocating has been applied to this region for years, and its clearly not working. It didn't work in Northern Ireland, its not working in Palestine, it doesn't work in Afghanistan, its clearly unsuccessful in Iraq. Right now, I don't have another way, but people need to be dealing with the cause, not the symptom. "when you have been given no choice but to view an entire people as a sworn enemy that vows your complete destruction! You do what they FORCE you to do! " I'm sure these fuckers are using the exact same justification for their actions. -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.
