Driving is not a Constitutional right. It's a privileged provided to you by the state. If the state wanted to pass the law, it most certainly could be held up in court. If you had a *right* to drive, then drivers licenses wouldn't be needed. It could easily be put in to law and done exactly the same way blowing your horn is... It is illegal to blow your horn on a public roadway, except to warm someone of an impeding danger. It's called "Improper use of equipment." A law *could* be legally passed to do exactly the same thing... "Improper use of headlights."

Nice try, but it still doesn't validate what you said. BTW, the text you listed is not on the web page that you linked. Ok, #1. There was no "Microsoft Word 1.0 nor 2.0. Those were actually called "Multi-Tool Word" and they weren't even designed for Windows systems, they were design to run on Xenix. When they came out with the editor to run on a Windows system, it was only then renamed to Word and it was called 3.0. As far as the binary documents and templates, yes, it WILL open them. The formatting is messed up and you'll will have to re-do the formatting because many of the old

I'd love for you to post the link on Microsoft's website that says that. I don't need to tell Microsoft anything, I'm Microsoft certified on Office and I've been working with/on it since the early DOS days. There are no "different versions" of Word 2010. Word 2010 for PC is all the same, the only thing different the "packages" of Office. There are different Office programs in different Office packages (IE: Home version doesn't come with Outlook, etc..) The actual Word program is the exact same program throughout all the packages of that version (IE: 2010, 2007, etc). As a mat

Sorry, but that is incorrect. Office 2010 can and will open any previous versions of Word documents, clear back to the DOS versions (DocX & DOC) Any Office version is backwards compatible with the previous versions. It's not always compatible to later versions. Older versions, such as 2003 and back, cannot open forward versions 2007 & 2010, natively. However, Microsoft puts out a 2007 compatibility pack that allows earlier versions, such as 2003, to open 2007 and 2010 files (DocX).

Computer people (laptop question) - Need to know by weekend.

Sounds to me like you have a "glowing pixel." This happens to LED monitors sometimes. Normally, you won't notice it unless the screen is totally black. Sometimes they will glow red, which is more easily noticed than a white glow, when on a "program screen." This is actually pretty common with LCD monitors and most manufacturers have gotten better at not having them... but they still occur. Most manufacturer will not warranty a single glowing pixel because it's the 'nature' of an LCD. Most of the time, there has to be a certain "percentage" or number of pixels glowing before t -
Well, I found the same... nothing in the code that specifically says it, but like you said, it's the judge's call and at that point, it becomes precedent and likely that other judges will follow. And in my eyes, it definitely is disobedience to a traffic control device. In this particular case, the woman in the gold Chrysler's INTENT is to continue traveling on the same road without stopping or waiting at the device that allows her to pass the intersection. She purposely evades the traffic device and commits several other infractions while doing so. If there was a store there and she

It falls under code section 40-6-20. It doesn't specifically say that, but there is case law where it has been ruled illegal. Dooley v. The State., 221 Ga. App. 245, 470 S.E.2d 803 (1996) As far as the video, it really can't do anything. You can show it to the police/sheriff, but other than you have the "car" on video performing illegally, you don't have who was operating it on video, clear enough to stand up in court. It's definitely enough to peak the interest of the police to request them to watch the area for the violation, but they can't act simply on that video alone. C

She reminds me of all the jackasses who can't wait 2 seconds for a person to make a turn at 61 & Hart Rd going north bound... If someone going north bound has to turn, the traffic behind them passes on the right, in the deceleration lane for the sub-division, through the gore. Why is it so hard to wait for the car to make their turn and then proceed?

Because phone companies bill service for other companies. This company calls you, hangs up, and you call the number back, they can either bill you for the return call and say you called them and ordered a service or the can re-route you to a 900 service or any other phone service, and bill you that way. The phone company accepts the "pass through" billing and collects funds for these companies. Used to be that if you called the phone company and complained and told them you didn't order or place the call, they would tell you it wasn't their problem and you have to talk to the co

They make window locks that have key locks. Simply lock the window and put the key on the trim at the very top and don't tell her you put it there. If there's an emergency, the fire department will pike the window and it won't matter whether the lock is there or not. Take a picture of the existing lock and/or take it off while someone is going to be at home, and take it to home depot and get one that will fit in it's place.

Some hard disks are inherently noisier than others. Since you have the same noise from a couple of laptops, my best guess without seeing or hearing it is that the power management on the laptop is turning the hard disk off after a few minutes of inactivity. I've seen factory defaults in power management shut disks down after 2 minutes. The hard drive, before it shuts down will park the read/write armature (meaning it goes to a home, locked positions). When they go to their home position and the armature locks, they will click. When a hard drive is going bad in a way that makes t

I don't know of any for cash, but there are charity organizations that will come pick them up and give you a form to write it off on your taxes.

No problem.. too bad the other side chose to keep going.

Oh course they will. That's what they are in business for, to make a profit. And just like any other company, when they see a chance to make a profit, they will jump on that chance. Like I said, I think they take it to the extreme a lot of the times, but they are in business to make money and you are free to take your business elsewhere when they do something you don't like.

LOL! Ok, so you haven't thrown any personal jabs out throughout this whole thing, huh? I believe if you go back and read, the first personal jab was from you, NOT me. Why are you calling "Attack" so much? Are you getting your feelings hurt? Go see mommy, she'll make you feel better. Real easy... I did it. Microsoft is forcing manufacturers to go to restore partitions and charge extra for physical media. See how hard that was? No, not once did I say that you couldn't buy a hard drive from best buy and a Dell DVD wouldn't restore to it. YOU said that. Again
-
You said, "Oh and lets NOT mention how there's only a recovery DVD now where it access a partition on the HDD to reimage your main partition with a fresh install if you screw windows up. But if you want a real install DVD for Windows that's another add-in they get you on now. Which folks only discover when their hot running hard drives fail and their new ones the buy from best buy can't have windows reinstalled on them using the fake crap DVD from Dell." When you're talking about manufacturers and what they do and do not offer and you, in the very next sentence, say "THEY," you aren't
-
Nope, I haven't changed definitions of anything... Yes, and my direct response to that post was: Once again, you're showing your ignorance. That is a Microsoft agreement, not something Dell or any other manufacturer has implemented on their own. Microsoft, in the last 8 years or so has become very asinine with their licensing. They are requiring manufacturers to do this and they charge the manufacturers out the butt for distributing actual media. The manufacturers are doing nothing but passing along the savings or cost, depending on which way you want the media. And once again, f

I haven't attacked anyone. Does yours get better by trying to win an argument that you know you're wrong in and keep putting words in my mouth, that I never said, to try to make you look better? You keep getting hammered down and when I present the facts that prove you wrong, you just move on to the next thing and start mis-stating facts again.
-
Your inability to READ and COMPREHEND English is showing again. I never said Microsoft would help you obtain a recovery disc. YOU said that Microsoft will not support an OEM operating system, which is COMPLETELY false. Microsoft will even issue you a new COA number if for some reason, the one on the OEM license does not work. I never said anything about getting recovery disc from Microsoft.

"Kids" haven't stopped calling them "motherboards," but that doesn't make it the correct term. For for someone to have a bachelors degree that makes him such an expert on computers, you think he'd be calling it by the correct term and you think he'd know the difference between what manufacturers purchase to make their SYSTEM BOARDS. People call hard drives "memory" too... that doesn't make them correct and it shows they don't know what computer parts are called. People use to say their "Hard drive controller" went out because the 'add-in' card that the hard drive connects to we
-
As I said... LEARN the difference between a "baseboard" and a "system board." For having a bachelors degree, you keep calling it a "motherboard" which is the incorrect term. Do you have any clue as to the difference between a "motherboard" and a "system board?" Apparently not. Your bachelors degree apparently isn't in computer science.
-
As I said before, learn the difference between a "baseboard" and a "system board." The fact that you constantly call it a "motherboard" tells me pretty much everything I need to know.

Can you READ English? I NEVER said you couldn't build a better system for the same price. The person who state this was: What I said was, "Today, companies like Dell and HP sell mostly budget systems. They are not the highest end systems, but for most people who do light spreedsheet, mostly internet, and a few nominal graphic games, these budget systems are perfect. Start adding bookoo's of memory and high end video cards, for gamers, and it gets expensive...." Now, try again. That statement is so full of crap. I have seen Dell's system boards being made with my

+1 Entrapment is often mis-understood by most non-law enforcement. A good example of entrapment is... You are standing beside your car talking with a friend about racing. A police officer over-hears your conversation and comes up to you and says, "hey, I am going to be patrolling down by the river at 4pm today... you guys come race and I'll look the other way." When you get to the river and start to race, he then busts you for the multiple violations you are committing. That is an example of entrapment.
