See, I object to that. I'm not sure what you're implying with the last sentence, but if you're implying us unbelievers may suffer some divine punishment, I'm offended by such scare tactics. Most of us are willing to respect our beliefs; you ought to respect our lack of belief. Besides, if there is a God, he's kind and would not punish us for failing to believe in him when we have every reason not to.

If you're not sure what I'm implying why did you jump to conclusions? No one knows what the future lies, what will happen when we all die, or even if we die. I suppose there's a possibility that in the future we may not all die. I'm just saying you don't know what you have to look forward to. Since I believe there is God, I also believe He is kind, just, merciful, longsuffering, and holy. I have no idea what your or anyone elses fate is and I don't pretend to know. I will say, however, that I find most people expect and even demand I tolerate what is bothersome to me as a believer in God, while the reverse is not often true.

Actually, the reason I brought up the topic is so we'd have 20 posts to get to this thread - quickly - and it worked. Cheers EE! I'll have a pomagranet iced tea. Is that pink2 here? And btw, where'd ya'll put the juke box???

Computer is still dead in the water. Now it can't find the matrox rtx2 card. How can a computer not find something that's installed in it? I wish I understood how these things worked.

I don't have any experience with the matrox rtx2 cards but my understanding is most things internal in the computer case requires drivers. If there are drivers already installed then they may be corrupt and require reinstalling.

Um, technically I started the conversation. Technically.

In my opinion, if they're scared away by a little nerdy or geeky conversation then screw them. If you don't meet someone who's at least tolerant of your interests then I'd rather not know them.

I jumped to that conclusion because that was what it most sounded like you were saying, and to be honest, it still kinda sounds like you're hinting at that. But if you're not, I suppose I'll apologize.

All I can say is I don't believe anyone in this discussion has placed unreasonable demands of tolerance on you.

*yawn* Mornin' all. Just got nearly eleven hours of sleep. I guess I needed it. I've been so tired all week! But I feel good this morning.

I think I'm gonna spend today watching stuff on hulu, eating, reading, and doing a couple things for school. I've told myself no sax today because my lips are already killing me from how much I played in two days. Lol.

I may have a... slight... addiction to froot loops.

Usually yes, but the drivers on the disk are almost always outdated. The manufactures website contains the latest drivers. With drivers the later the version number the better, but there are exceptions to the rule.

I need that kind of sleep. I've got no one but my self to blame, been going to bed to late (1am).

On that note, I'm off to bed. Nite all.

Good night Elf!

Good morning Loopy.

Off to baseball...

And...maybe the beach...if I don't get too frustrated with the beach traffic. The field they are playing at is past the beaches...hopefully I remember how to get there on the back roads...The proper way to get there will be log jammed with beachgoers...

Have a great Day!!
