Thanks to my computer being down, I've been able to stay out of this thread (which is a good thing, trust me); but I think this statement will be agreeable by most level-headed people. The shift toward ethanol isn't so much about being green as much as it is towards self-sufficecy. The US's...

Well, the problem was that I actually grabbed the one for my laptop. I have since found the desktop one, and reinstalled windows XP. It didn't work. I'm going to format the HD and reinstall. It's a good thing this weekend is both cold and clock forward weekend, because this has been...

Well, I undertook the monumental task of backing up things I wanted to back up on DVD...then I put the Restore CD in, input the windows key...and it tells me the freaking key is wrong! I triple check to make sure I copied the code off the side of my computer correctly, and that I typed it in...

Guess that's what I'm going to do. At least afterwards I won't be so pissed that I can't think straight. Thanks for the advice DD.

DD, you could trademark that. "Devil Duck Sauces - they won't give you THE GLURP!" I'm more on IGG's page here. I don't go for their super hot sauces, but I do enjoy their original death sauce too much to abondon it. You can't fault Blair for going mainstream either. People go into...

The Creator and IGG are right, this is one area where the science isn't exact, and it probably will never be. SHU rating is inexact versus taste because the capsaicinoids are a FAMILY of chemicals, not just one chemical. Some act fast, but don't linger, others produce more of a slow burn. At...

No, I'm not; just the ones built into my computer. DD, after you formatted and reinstalled, everything worked fine again? This is starting to look more and more like the way to go unfortunately. I got into BIOS, and they aren't being detected there. None of my USB ports work, I found that...

Well, on top of it all, now it doesn't seem to be reading any of my USB devices (portable HD, printer, thumb drives, etc.). It may be a while til I get those pics up, and I'm too pissed right now to review the show. Bent - I'm using windows XP, SP2 I'll try the BIOS, but it seems like the...

So, I went to install the software for my digital camera last night so I could get my FFS pics up, and all of the sudden, a ton of drives on my computer are missing! They just disappeared. Several of the drives were for my card reader, but more importantly are were my portable HD and my second...

Give me time, I have travel considerations that DD doesn't have to contend with. All I'll say is that if you haven't been to it, you definately need to make a pilgrimage sometime. It was really great to meet the people who have brought so much joy to my palate, and some who will be in the...

damn...we are nerds. I liked your old avatar better Sickmont :)

Very true, its amazing how people flock to see Joepa.

Lots of people like peppers that aren't hot. Heck, bell peppers have no heat, and are probably the most popular pepper in the world. I'd tell your friend to put their money where there mouth is and eat a naga...or shut up :) Welcome

I'm not pro-Greyhound racing, but the industry has been getting better at treating them more humanely during their career...and after they are done, well let's just say mine gets spoiled to death and is showered with love by just about everyone who meets him :)

You haven't been offensive yet, keep going.

I own a greyhound and I still thought it was funny, only because I know that its a joke because Greyhounds top out at around 45 mph. If I ever saw someone do that I promise you that they could count the number of seconds they had left to live on one hand.

When I was in HS, the army tried really hard to get me to join because I aced this test that the army had our school give us (did this happen to anybody else? That would have been 1994-6ish). Even if I was interested in a military career at that time, I don't think I could have passed a...

I've never been offered a bribe, monetary or otherwise :shocked: Thanks RingSting.

Not recently, and it was probably only part of the edited for TV version They are told what they need to gloss up on, and I make myself available to answer any questions they have. Exactly why I want to start teaching them now, and I tell them to read carefully before hand. Sometimes...

Wow...I'm not even going to touch that one. Actually, they do get an ungraded "quiz" the first day of class. I call it a questionnaire to see if they know what they need to know upon entering my class. One other thing I guess you should know...the course is curved, and I only fail students...
