Just stopping by. Been away for awhile. Stop falling down. Stop spilling ice. And stop getting hurt. Mason, you need to start taking better care of yourself! [e digicons]:grin:[/e] Now have a beer or two, and smoke one of your pipes. You deserve it my friend!!!
And a very, very, Merry Christmas to you and your family Tonya. And may I add to your new year wish with - health, happiness, and hope!
Happy belated birthday. For some strange reason, I haven't been able to post messages lately without getting an error. Today its gone, so here I am! [e digicons]:beer:[/e]

A good virtual desktop solution is very important to me. It has to work on 64-bit Windows. My only other comment would be to focus development on 32-bit Windows XP, and 64-bit Windows 7. That should keep the majority of users happy.
Great list so far. I'd like to add, "The Wages of Fear" (1953). I originally saw this film on a Canadian cable channel called "Silver Screen Classics", and recently purchased it on Blu-Ray. It is available on the Criterion collection. It is about a group of men who are trapped in South America with no way home. An opportunity presents itself to escape - if they survive a suicide mission first. Gripping and suspenseful, it rates 100% on the Tomatometer.

If anyone can beat this, it is you my dear. My heart goes out to you and your family. Be strong. Get well soon.

ID mentioned using the WordPress app to create blog posts on his iPad, but he didn't specifically mention whether they were to JU or not. You may want to drop a comment over here: http://islanddog.joeuser.com/article/382924/IDs_iPad_Review_-_Part_2
It's unbelievable the number of people who dismiss book reading on the iPad (based upon the specious E ink argument) without even trying it. Pretty ironic, since they spend most of their days staring at a CRT or LCD screen. And add to that the basic questions that could be answered with 30 seconds of googling. or of visiting apple.com. Do people go out of their way to avoid any knowledge of the most talked about gadget in recent memory? Sheesh!

Sorry to hear about your recent string of luck Mason. Never heard of Catherine Feeny before. Made me buy the song on iTunes. No matter how hard you try, looks like you are doing some good in this world!
I don't usually agree with you Arty, but on this issue we share some common ground. I'm not big on unions. In the best case (and yours seems like one of them), I feel that they breed mediocrity. But on the other hand, I say that a man must stay true to himself. Or as Popeye would say, "I yam what I yam!". I expect to be compensated based upon the value that I provide to an organization. Recently, I was looking at an employment advertisement for a startup organization based out o
I see that it is now out on DVD. Once again, I implore everyone to NOT watch this movie, whether on DVD or on television. It is a total waste of your time.

Yes. I would have ordered one today if they were available.
Very interesting video Doc! What I've never understood is this: the earth is 4.5 billion years old; it's been 2.5 million years since the appearance of the genus Homo; thermometer-based recorded temperatures go back at most 150 years; most people are lucky to live for 100 years - and we think that we know what's happening to the climate by looking at even 1000-year trends? Sheesh! Even going back over the 2.5 million years since our ancestors started to roam the earth would sugg
Apology accepted Doc. Mumblefratz was on the attack the moment he walked in the door. While I deleted two of his posts due to the language used, I'll let the rest of it stand. It will be interesting to see if there is any follow-up to the original research and what the results are. Time will tell!
