thank you, i care not to be educated to your level of ignorance or nastiness...
The level of literacy is always readily apparent, as well...
In other words, work on your reading comprehension.
And your comebacks are vacuum. They literally suck... You have been nasty since the first post in the P&CE forums. Attempting to take a position of virtue, as if you haven't been a member of the peanut gallery since day one, is extremely deceptive. We've seen you be nasty.
And your comments have rarely contributed much. But it's never too late to apply yourself. Just because you haven't been educated, doesn't mean you can't learn.
Ignorance is sometimes bliss, but it is more often death. What you don't know CAN hurt you. So start picking up books and reading stuff you didn't know. It's what public libraries were designed for.

SweetNapaGuy.....I know emoticons are not your "cup of tea" but,....
My ad-blocker software started reacting angrily to emoticons a month or so ago. (Prior to that, it wouldn't let me click on them, so I'd have to add them by hand. I only bothered to memorize one or two of the codes, so it's just too much of a bother.) All I see are little red "x"s. I have to open up in FireFox to see them now.
And I'm becoming more inclined to switching to FireFox since the computer technician who repaired my computer upgraded me to MSIE 7, something I've been avoiding since it came out. I really dislike this program...

 (That's "off topic")
MSIE baaa-aaad. It well and truly screwed up my operating system when I installed it, and is incompatible with interfacing with almost any of the hospitals I work with. Stupid nightmarish thing took me a week to get cleaned back out of my system so I could work after foolishly clicking on "Install updates!" (I have said for a long time that "upgrade" is actually a 4-letter word!)

It was after installing updates for MSIE 6 (so I could view NetFlix videos online; not that there's much of a selection, yet, and especially not for those of us who are hard of hearing--would enabling closed captioning be THAT MUCH of a bother???) that my computer crashed. It took a week to get the damn thing fixed.

MSIE is Microsoft Internet Explorer, Syn. The number is which version. Version 7 was an upgrade from version 6, and all it did was crash computers all over the country. For some reason they decided to make some major changes (some reason.. like trying to "force" people to use the new version so they could interact with anyone else using the new version) that utilized different Java scripts and Active X controls, so programs you had been using for years would no longer function as they had if you tried to open them in Explorer. I'd love to go to Firefox, but it's pretty much a given that all the hospitals in the country have finally upgraded to Windows and my system has to be compatible with theirs or I can't work. If you want something that was more fun than IE 7, go ahead and install Vista!

I have used FireFox for years. Just recently I have started using Flock. A FireFox off-shoot.
Any Internet Explorer Browser...."S-U-C-K-S"! It is a shame we can't un-install it from our systems! But, Microsoft has made it part of the system and it starts everytime you start the OS!
So, regardless if you run another browser or not IE 6 or 7 is running in the processes.
And the "tabbed browsing" in IE7 is just a damn joke compared to FireFox, Flock, Seamonkey, Opera and even old Netscape! They all out do Internet Explorer Browser!
And for some people that seem to be un-edumacated....Netscape is the first Browser ever used to surf the internet! Just a little history for those academically challenged individuals that melt when wet!

Heh. She speaks. Ain't she cute when she tries to be nasty?
IE works well enough. It's the interaction with my adblocker software. I find the few inconveniences worth the benefits. Granted, there's probably better options in FireFox, but until recently it's been a massive program.
I'll probably switch over to FireFox over the next few weeks.
This is what educated people do. They evaluate the cost-benefit analyses, the weigh options, they make a decision based on the real-world data. Pay attention.

Let me say it again r e a l s l o w.
They made some changes to Active-X and JavaScript controls that were incompatible with prior programs running on the hospitals' mainframes, almost all of which were running Windows NT (a business-friendly version that was especially friendly to multi-station networks). But NT won't support IE7. It made it so I could not access medical records I needed to access, and couldn't write to them because my browser contained internal code in what I was sending that the hospital computers were rejecting. My problem wasn't so much with the way it operates in and of itself, but Microsoft makes damned changes and doesn't SAY anything about having to re-code. They don't say it will be incompatible with other programs, they just leave you to "discover" that the hard way. And some of the hospitals, for instance The University of Wisconsin Medical Center, may have a complex that has as many as 6,000 workstations online. They are reluctant to spend $200-$500 to upgrade every one of those stations to support a new browser, and may have to replace as many as a third of the machines because they don't even have the system requirements to support the next generation of Windows that WILL support the new browser. And once you install the new broswer version, it makes all kinds of changes to registry files and .dll files and .exe files, changing addresses all over the place. And just "uninstalling" doesn't clean all of them up.

let me say this real slow ...
if you are educated enough you can uninstall IE and set the other programs to be handled by another program that is compatible with workarounds ... or you can disable it and let another be your preference..... BUT you have to be educated .. OH i forgot you all are educated so hey guys go ahead and beat your chest and go for your educated smarts and handle those little IE problems that seem to have confused you ....... then you can get back to your educated venue of fixing the world problems boys since you handled big bad IE so effectively ....

My ad-blocker software started reacting angrily to emoticons a month or so ago.
This is one of the known side-effects that may occur when the President's Internet terrorist and domestic persons of interest surveilleince program software resides in the background of a computer user's system after they have browsed a terrorist sponsored web site or are an identified email correspondent with a terror group suspect.
Don't worry about it. The surveilleince program software is scheduled to be turned off at noon on January 20, 2009, at which time it will erase itself and leave no trace of its presence.
FYI, your federal counterintelligence hardjacket file name is [Censor K483 redacted sensitive investigative case file information pursuant to the standing deniability Directive] and you are listed as a low level threat but easily influenced by other persons of interest who are deemed to be a danger to the republic.
ya think?

if you are educated enough you can uninstall IE and set the other programs to be handled by another program that is compatible with workarounds Frequently the programs I am working in are programs licensed to the hospitals I work for. In fact, the standard method is for me to set up a time when I am getting ready to take on an account and their IT people "dial in" to my computer to install their software, almost none of which I can access without administrator privileges (which they are not about to assign to a voice on the phone). Sometimes they even install key loggers, because that's how they figure my pay! (There was one that I actually didn't go to work for, because they said their key logger tracked backspaces and deducted them, and counted keystrokes, rather than character spaces, which would mean I would get paid less per line if I used word expander programs.) The hospital I currently work for has me logging in through a VPN connection, and their program automatically turns off my browser when I access their computer, as a security measure. And, no, I can't set that program to run how I might want it to. (And it's a real pain in the ass, because I've gotten lazy and use the net for research rather than the books, and now I can't access the net while I'm logged in and have to haul my rolling bookstand back over to my desk). The hospital I was most recently working for that downsized routed me through a VPN, and I could still access the net, but everthing from my computer was run through their intranet network. (Intranet, meaning my browser has to work with their mainframe. Actually, that was the one IE7 screwed all up.) This isn't a matter of what choices I can make, but what limited choices are available to me because of network compatibility.

The point a this thread (since you missed it) was that, next time yer baking bicuits, and you burn yerself on the hot tin. And it burns like hell. Try thinking about the guy who come back from Iraq with his ears an nose burned off. By asking them to stay, YOU are helping to do that.
YOU gots blood on YOUR hands.

Over 33,000 casualties have come out of Iraq -- over 4,000 dead and 29,000 wounded. Battlefield medicine has improved enormously. Soldiers, who would have died on the field, are returning home, many horribly disfigured by burns or suffering from concussive injuries that make future employment improbable.
So what are they returning to? Mostly poverty. Many of the wounded and their families are fighting paperwork snafus that deny them disability benefits, revoke their sign-up bonuses and ruin their credit.

revoke their sign-up bonuses
That's the part that pisses me off the most. They did their duty, it's not their fault they got injured, some pencil-pushing bureaucrat-in-uniform decides to quibble over the wording of a contract when the injured fulfilled the spirit of the contract...
Grrrr... The injured acted honorably, but the legalese is used against them. Stop treating our ex-military as refuse to be discarded!
What's that song/poem about how 19th-century British soldiers were treated like sh*t during peacetime, but during war-time, they're treated as heroes? Seems that here in the US, we treat them as heroes only while they're in uniform, then ignore them once they're not on the front lines...
