Erm... suddenly I feel very very stupid I hadn't even thought of that and yet it's so **** simple. Argh! I just assumed it was diff than MSN Msgr 5. Thanks for the info!

Currently it appears you cannot. Maybe this will be added further down the road. Maybe someone knows how to hack it but for now that's beyond me and I haven't spent time looking. I definitely like being ablt to pick the background in the windows when I am chatting, though. I get to pick colours easier on my eyes.

Okay, MS added the logging of conversations. That's nice and was needed but I'm not enthralled that it's in XML format. What else was added that Patchou's Plus! adds? No plain old text-file logging, no IRC-like commands, no easter egg sounds which are silly but cool, no away messages... Do I need to go on? Sure it'd be great to not have to use another program like Messenger Plus! but when you take all the added features and put them together. I don't see MS making Messenger Plus! obsolete anytime soon. I still have Windows Messenger on my system but I've been using MSN Msgr 6 beta without any problems thus far. It might have bugs... what software doesn't but I haven't seen them. It's a giant step forward for MSN Msgr though and I see it as positive. I still love the simplicity of Windows Messenger 4.7, however. There was no reason for me to switch from Windows Messenger 4.7 to MSN Messenger 5.0 but with the additions in MSN Messenger 6.0 we'll have to wait and see and that's exactly what MS wants. w00t On a side-note, Windows Messenger Webcam support worked great for me but when they released the addon for MSN Messenger I tried it with MSN Msgr 5.0 and found all I got was crashes of MSN Msgr as a result. I removed the addon and things worked fine again and yeah I know if you had Windows Messenger you already could use webcams in MSN Msgr but I was hoping for improvements and I sure didn't get it. I'm looking forward to a much improved webcam support in MSN Msgr 6.

Funny but this is true

My brother purchased a computer sometime within the last year or two that came with Windows M(igrain)E. He's had this exact problem every time he's wanted to run scandisk and defrag on his system. I ended up manually killing a load of processes to resolve the issue. This is one of the many peeves I have with M(igrain)E. As has already been recommended, running scandisk and defrag in Safe Mode is the best solution, IMO.

ME should never have happened. Win98 was supposed to be the end of the road for any of the 9x line. IMO ME was just Microsoft throwing in a release to keep up the release cycle and suckering people into wasting the money paying for it.

Yes, it's a great show It premiered in 1999 on Sunday nights if I remember correctly.

I wanted to see how bad it was when he told the woman he wasn't really rich. That's why I only watched the last 10-15 minutes Besides, I wanted to see if Sarah's little "movie career" was at all mentioned And... above all I can pester my girlfriend about it

I admit I saw the last 10-15 minutes. I was surprised by the result and I would have gone for Sarah, personally. I don't think she did want the money. Her reaction, to me, said she didn't. Who knows. I think using the reasoning he did that his decision was right but... he even said she never really opened up to him. That leaves a question in my mind. His problem not mine It always kills me how people on any of the reality shows [in general] get mad when they don't make the grade. They decided to put themselves there to begin with so how can they complain?

President Gerald Ford removed assassination of world leaders as an option in an Executive Order approximately a quarter century ago. I'm not sure when he signed the Order but it was obviously during his Presidential term (1974-1977). To my knowledge this has yet to be altered. Mainly this order would pertain to the CIA because it would be the CIA's job to carry out such an order [generally], however, this order pertains to all government agencies as far as I have ever had knowledge of. The main goal was to remove assassination as a means of policy change in a foreign country [by replacing a leader]. Of course this would not be the case during a war... In the U.S. the President cannot alone declare war [even though he might wish to]. Assassination would be something only the President and the relevant agencies would be involved in. Surely Congress would never be informed. This is too much power to hand to a President, IMO. The Executive Order was a good one however it was too broad because, yes, there are times, like now, when assassination would be the best resolution to a situation saving immeasurable bloodshed.

It's been 12 years since the Gulf War. At least 3 UN resolutions dealing with inspections and disarmament have been ratified. Iraq has not fulfilled their end of the deal for 12 years. They say they will and then they do not. They are failing to meet the requirements over and over. Saddam will not just give up his power or his weapons and diplomacy with him is a joke. This impending war is not hasty because it has been 12 years in coming. When will people actually acknowledge this?

lol, my camera sucks, I took about 12pics and this is the best I could find, btw, its resized with less height and the width a lil more.. I did this b/c the limit is @ 100pixels height and 450width.. Well, just my 2 cents, but if you wish to use the picture at least reduce the size proportionally: 143x100 pixels. The distortion just ruins it.

As far as I know DALnet is not officially back up from the DDOS attacks and most definitely the entire network is not back up. This, of course, creates a game of musical chairs. My pre-DDOS list of DALnet servers included about 45 different servers. Currently I would say that I am able to access only 3 or 4. That's why the servers are full. With the upcoming changes (no more file sharing) you should be able to get on much easier when that is done. Goodbye DALnet.

Windows/MSN Messenger and the Messenger service in Windows are two totally separate things. Removing the instant messenger won't fix the Messenger service issue because they're unrelated. It's the local TCP port 135 that is involved with this spam. Turn off the service in Windows or block the port with your firewall.

LOL. Believe me, I've had bad relationships. Everyone has. I've seen the truth. I saw it long ago. I don't walk around with my eyes focused only on myself and how I can make myself feel good without taking anyone else into consideration. If a person does that they'll never be in a relationship worth a ****. What we get in life is a direct result of what we put out. As for the requirements on the list that I meet... you don't know what my list of requirements is in a woman. My girlfriend meets my requirements just as I meet hers and that's all that matters. A relationship is a two-way street. But... to each their own.

God, that is sad. It's sad in so many ways... It's sick. Too bad a piece of actual debris doesn't fall through his/her ceiling and give him/her a nice hole in the head.

Yes, it was returning but debris was observed from the left wing on take-off. Unless the crew knew something was happening during the re-entry then they would not have prepared themselves and used an escape vehicle. Traveling at 1,200 mph at an altitude of 200,000 ft... time isn't on your side. There are too many possible speculations for why it ripped apart. If the heat shielding was, in fact, damaged then that could quite easily have resulted in a break-up.

Yet another saddening loss If this was due to incompetence... heads should roll. Personally, they should have aborted on take-off when the debris were observed.

This pretty much describes me. If I can't sit and talk to a woman and have a real converstation then there is no way I will be interested in them. I get bored with stupid people. Sorry to say it, but it's true. I should note my girlfriend is NOT stupid. Ahem, I don't feel like being strangled in my sleep.

Ah, but do most men not have unfair standards that women should meet? We all know that some [not all] men do just as some [not all] women do. When in a relationship you have to try to view things from your partner's perspective - even if you do NOT agree with it - and be sensitive to what they need or feel. Some might call this conforming but it's really not. You treat your significant other the right way and you'll be rewarded many times over. You do this because you care, not because you want the reward, mind you. This is really the golden rule. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

Interesting article, Crispy. From the looks of that article I guess I'm not typical guy. ****. Should I be upset? All of that was common sense to me and *gasp* I actually talk to my girlfriend about things. It's just unfortunate that many [not all] men AND women are guilty of just not using their **** heads. They make the rest of us look bad!

He has so many palaces it is crazy and he supposedly has his doubles. As far as Canada, they have requested further stipulations to the UN resolutions if they are to support the US. I am unsure of what they are but I have a suspicion it is related to the friendly-fire incident by 2 US servicemen on Canadians during live fire exercises they were not informed of. I could be wrong but the timing is interesting. It's also sad that the amphetamine issue is being hidden so much in that case.

Of course there are many war criminals but my focal point was Saddam since this concerned a war with Iraq. You are, of course, correct, FthrJACK. Post WWI and WWII the world became more global oriented. This has benefits but an enormous and obvious downside is giving money to other countries when the citizens of your own need it! Welcome to the global community!

War with Iraq is inevitable. What we are watching now is simply a political chess match. The US will go in but it is necessary politically to do it with enough reasons that other countries will also support the US and Saddam is viewed badly. How on earth anyone can not view him badly is beyond me. But, as I said, it's a chess match. Generally speaking where there is smoke there is fire. We found the warheads. What does this really mean though? Does he have chemical weapons? Well, of course he does. We have to actually see the evidence of the weapons though. An empty warhead is pretty poor evidence for a war. For those people against a war with Iraq there are a few things to note. 1. Saddam is as bad as Milosevic if not worse. Milosevic NEVER had chemical weapons. Milosevic was charged with crimes against humanity. When will Saddam be charged? When will those Iraqis who support Saddam and blame the other nations for sanctions admit Saddam is why they are living in poverty? Look at all the new palaces he built for himself! But the rest of the world gets blamed by his fanatical followers for the suffering of his people when it's him not letting the money funnel down to the citizens. Note: I am NOT labeling all Iraqis as fanatics. 2. You cannot sit and let someone like Saddam do as they please and keep appeasing them. Enough people here must know their World War II history. If Chamberlain hadn't sat back while Hitler walked in and took Austria and then Czech, etc, then who knows if WWII would really have happened or been nearly as long and bloody. The world allowed Hitler to build his army as it twiddled its thumbs and waited and it cost countless lives on all sides. Saddam's invasion of Kuwait in the 1990's was a reminder of WWII in that respect. Does anyone think Saddam would have stopped at just Kuwait. Be realistic. And yes, Saddam can be compared to Hitler on a smaller scale. Given a chance he would try to be just as big, though. 3. Saddam has the chemical weapons and everyone knows it. He'll use them at some point whether the world goes to war with Iraq or not. You can be sure he'll use them in a war. Saddam knows he won't walk away alive this time. Too much is at stake. He'll use every means necessary to last just a few seconds longer in power no matter how futile it is. If they are going to be used at some point I'd just assume it was now and not later after he has produced or purchased 100 times more than he currently has. The war WILL happen and it'll be for all the marbles this time.
