I don't remember what music they played, I just rememeber being amused when the host of a CBC radio program described it as "Panama City's Hard Rock Cafe." "Pretending to guide me, you led me astray, And I don't want to fall into your kind of ways." "Melt", Front 242

I had also considered this one, but from the reviews, it didnt seem to sound as good as the swiftech one did. John Simmons / outlaw programmer wrote: The reason I asked about fluid dynamics is because I was considering adding a 2nd radiator to allow more "off-chip" time for cooling. Would that have an adverse effect on water delivery, or is it safe to consider it as merely "a little more tubing"? The reviews I have just read on the swiftech one all say that although it does provide good cooling, it can be improved by using a bigger, more powerful fan, or by the addition of a second radiator, therefore, a second radiator would make things cooler.

Me too :( Hyped up that it would be over in a week, and when it isn't sniping at the armed forces for not being able to do the impossible. The tigress is here :-D

Never heard the term 'cricket widow' ? The tigress is here :-D

Just on a side note, President Chirac has sent a note to the UK government he wishes the members of the british armed forces well, and that he sympathises with the casualties. There are a lot of people in the UK against the war who have the same sentiments (for all caught up in the conflict). And that last part of your sig shows what it is like when the politics doesn't matter any more. Elaine :rose: The tigress is here :-D

Which is when you trip over an errant tree root :rolleyes: The tigress is here :-D

Well by your definition it ( hearts and minds ) can only be won thru a conversion of the thought process on a rather primordial level. That is not mine. Look at the Roman Empire for a good example. As to my sig that changes at whim but yes - I do believe that civilization advances thru warfare and conflict - history show that to be true and also that conflict is the primary cause of civilization as we know it today. A banding together to protect against outsiders was the earlist type of civilization. A dynamic existance , albeit short , is preferable to a stagnat existance. Beside the fact that humans, being a primate species, is tribal in nature , and will never be at peace with other tribes unless there is a mutual gain to be had. And once that gain is negated its back to the old ways. You can't fool Mother nature. Richard In Italy for thirty years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love; they had five hundred years of democracy and peace and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock. Orson Welles

Along similar (sort of) lines, this one is paraphrased from a very old Road & Track: A man and his wife were pulled over while driving along the highway. The officer asked, "Do you realize you were doing 20MPH over the limit?" The woman, in the passenger seat, spoke up, "You just give him a ticket officer. He was driving too fast and not paying any attention. He's a dangerous reckless driver and he should be punished. I've always told him if he drives too fast he's going to get a ticket. I always tell him." The officer paused, then asked, "Sir, is this your wife?" The driver nodded glumly. The officer snapped his ticket book shut, stepped back and said, "Drive on, brother."

My idea of a utopian society is a very limited government, with people helping each other, sharing everything, not because they have to but because they want to. I guess thats why they call it Utopian, 'cause it will never happen. Jason Henderson "You must be the change you wish to see in the world." - Gandhi articles profile

Chris Austin wrote: In that case they should censor Tom Clancy books. Not a bad idea. I blame Tom Clancy for the way the media have covered this war. In his books, the Americans win their wars cleanly, without loss of life and the weapons work all the time. This has given certain media organisations and armchair generals the impression that war is easy and people don't get killed. Michael 'War is at best barbarism...Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, more vengeance, more desolation. War is hell.' - General William Sherman, 1879

No, the mood has changed in favour of the Euro. The change seems to come from tourist experience, after travelling in a country where the Euro is implemented, it feels a lot more familiar.

LOL. But I think he meant that he wanted people to ask one question per question. Er... I think he wanted people to ask only one question in each question. Um... I think he wanted people to ask just one question per turn, not lump a lot of questions together whenever they got a chance. Yeaah. I got it. He wanted people to ask one question at a time. Isn't that how you say it? One question at a time, please. Regards, Rohit Sinha ...celebrating Indian spirit and Cricket. 8MB video, really cool!
