If someone asks for help (especially for friends who may not exactly care whether somethings \"best\", only \"easy\"), just answer the question. Alternate suggestions may or may not be welcome, depending on the wants and needs of the friend, but simply taking the opportunity to make a stab at Norton ...

My main nick that I use elsewhere in cyberspace is Erinthios, but much of that comes from the things I've done with the people that I knew from the game that Erin was created for.

Texas "Texas. It's like a whole other country." ;) Freaky states notwithstanding, I'm not all that well-traveled, only having been to England, Wales and Scotland. I'm not even that well-traveled in the US. I've lived in CA and TX, and have visited NV, AZ, NM, FL, VA, MD and DC. Been to Rainbow Arch ...

I think I'll have to answer with "WMP10 hates you". :oops: Or maybe it's Windows. In any case, Bill Gates probably has a back door into Windows and is having fun breaking things for people. ;) Maybe someone else has some ideas. (Other than "don't use WMP".

No idea, ccb. :( "Display media information from the Internet" should be the proper option you'd need, and it's obviously selected. And you can get information if you request it.

What are the Jewish beliefs concerning Jesus? From what I recall (most of my knowledge of Judaism is from a few textbooks and some Jewish (religion) friends, so I'm hardly an expert), they view Jesus as just another in a long line of prophets, while of course Christians view him as the Messiah (who ...

Don't worry about it. As long as the teeth aren't really bad and the surgeon's good, there shouldn't be any complications at all. The most common issue is dry sockets, but you just need to be smart about what you eat and drink. My biggest pain was the massive bleeding afterwards. That and I passed ...

I'll second pun's advice. Get a G5 if you can. If you really need portability, the iBook should be okay, otherwise the Mini is probably the better bet. My dad's got a G5 iMac (about the same specs as you're looking at), and he's been really happy with it. It's seemed pretty zippy from what little I ...

It's not Amazon you're buying from, but a third-party vendor. It's not Amazon's responsibility to have the shipping data there, they just show whatever they got from the third-party (if anything, as in this case). Some vendors are pretty messed up, and get you in with a low base price, and make it ...

Contrary to what you may believe, it's perfectly possible for one to believe both in God and in the theory of evolution. Contrary to what you've written, the Bible states that God created the universe in 7 days. Evolution states otherwise. You can't believe both. Our "day" is defined as a single ...

Plebe, you've stated as fact what is your opinion. In fact there is a very good alternative to having someone bring your food to your table: cook it yourself.

If you realize how much food actually costs, you'd know that the restaurant is making at least a 1000% profit on nearly every dish it serves. How is that not covering the costs of the service? Last I checked, service was part of a restaurants "overhead." This is the argument as I see it. I'm not ...

Actually, Plebe, mimimum wage IS enforced for tipped workers. The tip income is meant to be reported and the total of the hourly wages and the declared tips have to meet or surpass the minimum wage. Sort of. There's a lot of guesswork going on, and there's a percentage of cash vs. credit tips that ...

Plebe: the government specifically allows waiters and waitresses to be paid less than minimum wage. I know. Which is why I say they're not enforcing the minimum wage.
