I use FF most of the time, because I had some trouble with Opera. (I should d/l a newer version anyway...) And I just pretend that IE doesn't exist. Because it shouldn't.

that's probably because your mobo has a max limit for ram, and it ignores what it can't use. Or, the bios settings are f*cked.

About the static thing... If you don't want to buy a wristband, (in the us, they're like $5) leave the computer plugged in to a grounded outlet, and touch a metal part of the case, or the power supply, or something. Then UNPLUG THE COMPUTER BEFORE TOUCHING ANYTHING ELSE!!! That should work.

You cannot argue for terror...

Did I do that? If you got that out of my post, then I'm sorry, I must have been a little unclear.

Anyway, I don't mind the part of this war where bush goes and takes out an evil dictator. But although rebuilding the country seems to be a good idea, and a nice gesture, it is fairly obvious that some people don't want it to happen. Maybe I'm just not keeping up with the news enough, but it seems to me that we are not accomplishing anything at the moment. It also seems that the "war on terror" has been delayed until after the "rebuilding Iraq." Correct me if i'm wrong, but even if Bush could run for another term, he probably would not be elected. Again.

[lecture]If anything is likely to kill us, it is war of some sort. I would say that nuclear war is probably low on the list, with Mr. Bush, the "nuclear nazi". But look at the current war in Iraq. It has accomplished nothing. Oh, wait, yes it did, we killed saddam. No, we just threw him in jail. And now we are trying to rebuild. Any idiot who watches the news can clearly see that there are a lot of people in Iraq who just want us to get the fuck out of their country and let them do their thing. Now I can understand Bush's original point of view, that Saddam could have been a threat to the US, and therefore to other countries as well. (think hitler) However, the "war on terror" cannot work. As long as people have freedom, they will use that freedom in whatever way they please (for example, for unprovoked violence, or provoked violence, for that matter.) And they will fight for that freedom like the original colonists in the US did with England in the revolutionary war. What Bush is trying to do is impossible. People like him will be the end of the human race.[/lecture]

Support the troops, but not the war. And for those of you who didn't know or couldn't figure it out, I do live in the US, and will be voting for a somewhat better president at the next elections.
