    While the first link proves much that I had suspected but could not previously verify, the second is internally inconsistent, as it assumes that goats know how to make cat suits. If all things are goats, then goats can have no a priori knowledge of cats, nor any idea how to mimic one with a clever suit.

    Exception 0E is one of the most popular fatal errors in most Windows versions, and there are approximately as many causes as there addresses on your machine. Visit Technet and search the Knowledge Base with the specific error message you see and the version of Windows you're running. Be prepared for rather a lot of responses. It's usually caused by a driver or a dll conflict, but discovering which one is the culprit can be a game of cat and mouse. Happy hunting!

    Yeah it was a good one. I was quite surprised that I liked it, normally the computer animated titles go too kiddie for me to stand.

    Why bother? By the time it gets filthy enough to be really annoying, it's obsolete and in need of an upgrade anyway. The cable tangle does have to be kept straight, though. If it gets too messy, you can experience occasional data loss. The zeroes are nice and smooth, and go around sharp bends without trouble. But the ones are all sharp edges, and tend to get hung up on the turns in badly kinked cables.

    well that's really bad.. my absolute fav. quote of her: "and why dooooo these teeeeeeeeeears come at night.." (really had to lough hard, because my grandpa used to say "don't stop crying, you just have to piss less.." - he was a pretty rude guy) cheers bernhard Sometimes I think the surest sign for intelligent life elsewhere in the universe is that none of them ever tried to contact us.

    Gosh, women can be so boring at times, can't they ? Have you seen the old internet joke about the difference between a man taking a shoer and a woman ? I'm thinking specifically of the bit where the woman covers herself with a towel, and the moan runs around naked, screaming woo-hoo.
