HeyYou

United States, Michigan, a podunk little town just north of the Ohio border... Lived here most of my life, minus a year or so in various other locations. (texas, ohio....)

What are you talking about? There are others who believe evolution is false, and they do not subscribe to the flat earth theory? Acebopata, I think you may have missed HeyYou's point just a tad. I do not believe he was equating those who do not believe in evolution with those who believe in a flat earth. Perhaps I am wrong, but I believe he was attempting to suggest that challenging beliefs "WHATEVER THEY MIGHT BE" ought to be encouraged, not only by our school systems, but by parents, individual teachers, governments, even religious organizations. We should be encouraging the thought process in our young people. This is how they grow into mature "THINKING" adults. Absolutely Correct Granny. :)

What's your texture size set to?

So, you can't teach evolution to anyone, is it might challenge their beliefs? Oh gee, should we not teach geography either, so we don't offend the flat-earthers? BRILLIANT!!!!

Well... it appears to be rather random for me. Sometimes it works, sometimes it don't..... I can't find any particular rhyme or reason as to why it doesn't want to on occasion.... and it seems to be only a couple of the sub-forums that have issues. The debates forum seems to work just fine, the Mod Author General Discussion forum though..... it REALLY hit and miss. Mostly miss......

Fair enough. :D I will poke about some more.

Obama appointed his cronies in the Supreme court such as Sonia Sotomayor. A woman who is a Member of LA RAZA. They hate the United States and wanna destroy them. What do you think they would say about such laws? Also, public healthcare is not mentioned in Section 8 of the Constitution and so its ILLEGAL. But they don't care, because THEY ARE CRIMINALS. And TRAITORS. Americans buy around 5 million guns each month. When comes the secound american revolution? You wanna continuing this?? A Member of an Organisation which wanna destroy the USA rules about that an unamerican socialist law is conform with the constituiton. What comes next? "Big Insurance companies" wrote the public healthcare law you poor fool. How hard is it to understand that you shouldn't trust extremely biased news sites? Also how many times do I need to post this. "The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States" Past programs such as social security have been considered constitutional due to that. This healthcare bill isn't very good in my opinion, but it isn't the end of the world. Just a small thing compared to the rest of the crap going on. It's the precedent that this ruling sets that disturbs me. Congress now has the power to tax us if we don't purchase a commercial product that they think we should have.

This problem is still pretty pervasive. Even on the same session, If I leave the General Mod Authors forum, on my return, no matter if it is a few seconds, or a few hours, all posts are marked as unread. Any likelihood we can get the servers to track this again??

Well, that isn't what I expected....... So, it seems the government can now legally force folks to buy a commercial product. Nice..... I wonder what's next.... Everyone has to buy a car, so the auto industry well do better? Everyone has to buy a house, so the housing market will recover?? Everyone has to buy oranges, so they will lead a healthier lifestyle? I disagree with some of the articles contentions as well. It doesn't mean 30 million people will now get insurance, or that anyone will be able to get better insurance...... When is the last time anyone saw their health insurance rates go down? Easier yet, when was the first time? My guess is, it has never happened. Certainly not for me. There is also the argument of which is cheaper, paying for the insurance, if you make too much to get a government program, or, the fine that the IRS will levy if you don't have insurance....... No, the fight is far from over. This is only round one.

Indeed, thank you. Was wondering about that myself.

And yet nothing has been done. Many of the people interviewed there are part of groups that could do something to fix the system, they know the system is broken, but they don't do anything. It's like a sick form of irony. They are people who are in a position to do more than comment and inform about these problems, but they expect us to be the ones to solve them, or for things to just work themselves out on their own. Either you're an activist, or you're a journalist, you cannot play both roles. Mainly because the folks that are in a position to implement the necessary changes, profit the most from things staying exactly as they are. So, we get lip service to the 'issues', but, never any action toward fixing it. Why would anyone purposely wreck their own gravy train? Because we face assured destruction otherwise. When 75% of a country's infrastructure is already crumbling, you don't need terrorists, you don't need natural disasters, society can be brought to a grinding halt just because one place had too much strain. That is what happened with the massive blackouts along the East coast a few years back. We will likely face similar issues this year as about the only improvements made to the system were bandages over the most damaged sections. Most of the bridges in the country are deteriorating. Most of the water mains have cracks and aged sections that threaten to deprive whole cities of clean drinking water, and nothing is done until things have already broken. Because we have a population who is frightened, doubtful of the future, and greatly distrustful of the government which exists to serve them. If left on the current path, there will be riots, there will be death and destruction, there will be people too fed up with the lies and who have nothing left to lose. Parts of Europe have already seen these erupt, but there has been almost no coverage of these being broadcast in the West. The tendency for politicians to simply stand idle while lining their pockets will only serve to add passion and validation to the rioters. Something has to give, for all our sakes. But that is in some nebulous future. Our government has more than adequately demonstrated that they don't particularly care about the future. Just like corporate america, its what makes the most money RIGHT NOW. Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead! The situation you describe is EXACTLY what I expect to see in our future, and probably not all that far away either. It doesn't really matter who wins in November, the course won't significantly change. Its just a matter of who will get us to the collapse faster.

Your 4870 has trouble? My 4890 ran it really well.... Running a 6850 now, it is pretty smooth as well. What's the rest of your system look like? How much ya willing to spend, and what country are you in?

What I find truly sad is, I get more accurate news from John Stewart (a comedy show...) than I do from a 'real' news channel..... He is aware that mainstream media is feeding us their favorite line, and makes a good show out of it. It IS entertaining, in a sad kind of way..... but, it is also more informative than the likes of Fox, CNN, MSNBC, et. al. George Carlin needs to be a news anchor..... unfortunately, he is dead..... I suppose though, still and all, he couldn't be any WORSE than what we have today. :D

In todays "media" (I hesitate to call it "news") ratings are what its all about, and their own particular political spin. When a news network has "fair and balanced" as part of its slogan, you can bet your bottom dollar that it will be neither. The media moguls have just as much invested in washington, as the politicians do, and having the clout to thump someone soundly, repeatedly, ad nauseum.... in the 'media', can make or break political careers. The media knows that, and uses it. They each have their own particular "take" on things, depending on which side of the political coin they are on. I can remember when news anchors actually reported the news, as it happened, factually. And without whatever political spin was popular that day. One of the reasons I don't watch any of the networks any more.

Lookin' Good. No errors so far. Page loads are right quick.

BLASPHEMER!!!!!! You Shall surely smoke a turd in Oblivion for such a remark! :D Well, it would be nice if the game company would be consistent with their lore, and have a province that was supposedly a tropical rainforest, instead be temperate forest.......

I thought the zombies in washington were all collected in the various branches of congress?

Dark0ne changed a setting on his end, and the site does indeed now use cookies on your local machine to track read/unread threads. Trouble is, it doesn't seem to work worth a damn.

Got OBMM? (Oblivion Mod Manager.) For OBMM users: Start OBMM. Click Utilities. Select Archive invalidation. You'll get a popup window. Click BSA redirection (it's the default choice). Click Update Now. Close the Archive invalidation popup (click the red X in the upper-left corner). Quit OBMM or click Launch Oblivion.

I love your Avatar. :)

I am seeing a lot of the aforementioned behavior as well. I do not clear cookies from specific websites on browser close. (this being one of them.) How bad was the performance hit from the previous method? I don't really notice the site being that much speedier.... At leas the previous method actually worked....

The vegetation is out to get us? :D One key note there: Genetically Engineered Grass. Are we our own worst enemies? Making products to 'make life better', which turns out to become a product that kills us? (or, our food source.......)

There was another thread on this topic the other day when I was here.... but, can't seem to come up with it now..... I have also started to see this problem in various forums. Showing topics as unread that I was the last poster in.... also topics that I have read, and posted in, showing as completely unread, such that when I click the button for "first unread post", it takes me to the first page of the thread....... Real curious what that's all about. Cookies are enabled, I only surf the forums from this machine.....

I seem to be getting these rather frequently..... a reload will usually fix it..... when they pop up, it will take a minute or two for the page to load though. This has been happening for at least a couple weeks.....
