If you go dell then check this link: http://www1.us.dell.com/content/products/f...imen&l=en&s=dhs P4 2.2 GHZ, XP, 17 inch Monitor and 40GB HD. Only 128 MB RAM though. Good enough if you need something for school work.

Well lets start with what you most likely will need: New motherboard - $100 for a good one that will last a bit CPU - 70-120 - you can go low and boost up when you get some more cash and that would be for a 2 GHZ Celeron probably. RAM 512 - 80-$100 Total so far on the low end : Let's say $350 Now if you don't get a card with onboard NIC/Sound or Video you are looking at possibly 3 other cards as well. You will probably spend around $400 or so at least since your RAM is too old and onboard video is ok but it will share your system ram. If the MB has no soundcard then you are looking at around 40 for a decent SoundBlaster Live.. don't even go anywhere near those Phillips cards.

EHRAN, Oct. 29 — Iran said Wednesday that it would not share intelligence with the United States on operatives of Al Qaeda or hand over Qaeda suspects in Iranian detention and would resume dialogue only after the United States undertakes what it termed measures to build confidence. It was not clear whether the United States would first have to restore diplomatic relations broken after the storming of the American Embassy in Tehran in the fall of 1979. "You cannot threaten from one side and freeze assets from the other side; level accusations from one side and then request dialogue from the other side; we need to see America's practical steps," the government spokesman, Abdullah Ramezanzadeh, told reporters. "They have leveled too many false accusations against us and they should stop that," he said. "They should also unfreeze our assets and lift the sanctions." Mr. Ramezanzadeh was responding to comments made Tuesday by Deputy Secretary of State Richard L. Armitage, who signaled American willingness to hold limited talks with Iran. Mr. Armitage, striking a conciliatory tone, also said that the Bush administration did not favor "regime change" in Iran. By contrast, President Bush in his 2002 State of the Union address grouped Iran with Iraq and North Korea as an "axis of evil." The United States severed talks with Iran after a series of bombings in Saudi Arabia in May which the United States said were linked to groups based in Iran. Iran has denied the assertion. The United States had also asked Iran to turn over detained senior members of Al Qaeda. Mr. Ramezanzadeh said Wednesday that Iran had no security agreement with the United States to turn over the detainees. He said Iran had returned some detainees to nations with whom it had such security agreements and said the rest would be dealt with according to Iranian laws. Iran announced this week that it had given to the United Nations the names of 225 Qaeda members it had arrested. It said that nearly 78 of them had been returned to their nations of origin. "We believe that all countries should deal with terrorism and terrorist groups indiscriminately," Mr. Ramezanzadeh said. "We have also taken necessary measures against terrorism according to international regulations and do not need other countries to interfere in our affairs." The government of President Mohammad Khatami has come under increasing pressure from hard-liners since last week, when the government reached an agreement with the foreign secretaries of Britain, Germany and France to allow more intrusive inspections of its nuclear sites and to suspend enrichment of uranium. Hard-line militants, who oppose any restrictions on Iran's nuclear program, have accused the government and influential clerics who have sided with the government of undermining the nation's security. "We are worried about the kind of guarantees that our negotiators have received over our national security and sovereignty," a group of militant students wrote in a letter, the Jomhouri Islamic daily reported today. "How do we know that because of the nuclear agency's financial dependence on America, Iraq's experience would not repeat in Iran and American spies would not come under the guise of inspectors?" the letter asked. The agreement needs to be approved by Parliament before it can be enforced.

Pretty much anything you say now has no impact. We already expect the weirdest shit from you already.

Sad part is that your posts all look and sound like they are coming from the same person since you have the same avatars. For shame on all of you. You have a pedo, a attention whore and whatever the hell IDRM is and yet you all look the same. You would think you would highlight your differences instead of falling into the same mold.

http://www.counterprotester.com/articles/e...eurocentric.htm "Hey hey! Ho ho! Western Civ has got to go...!" So goes the famous battle cry of "activists" and "progressives" within America's college campuses and public school systems as they protest for and demand the reform of history curriculum that teaches the past through "dirty, eurocentric lenses." The protesters demand an end to the study of history apologetic to or ignorant of white Europe and America's brutal escapades. "Why don't we spend more time detailing the slaughter of the Indians, colonialism's devastating legacy in Africa or the racist tendencies of our nation's founders?" they ask. "Why do we treat the Jewish (European) Holocaust like it was such a terrible thing but do not spend so much time mourning the trans-Atlantic African slave trade, a holocaust in its own right?" "Why must we study all these dead white men and their white problems?" Regardless of the fact that the United States is a Western nation founded on Western principles, this is injustice, and, of course, damaging to "children of color" who feel left out. I agree. Something has to change. Eurocentric education is damaging and unfair. Now...before you go thinking I've jumped ship, hear me out. You see, when history is taught in public schools and colleges these days, it is often either an account from a traditional non-politicized European-American/white perspective, or one of a thousand "alternative" perspectives that usually focus on some "oppressed" people as they are faced with their righteous struggle against white oppression and discrimination. This is not enough. In this particular case, I say we give the far-left what they want- a clear and accurate portrayal of the REST of the world's brutal history in order to show, once and for all, that murder, conquest, racism, and empire are not sins peculiar to Europeans and Americans. It's somewhat easy to understand why there is so much attention paid to the sins of the Western world. We're at a certain point in history where Europeans (and thus, "whites") are and were the dominant powers in the world for the past couple hundred years. They've built empires, conquered the globe, exploited the land and people, and pushed their culture and religion to the far reaches of the earth. This sort of thing is nothing new however, and has been going on since the dawn of time. The English, the Chinese, the Mongols, the Aryans, the Zulus, Mali, Rome, the Arabs, and the Aztecs to name a few...all were nasty, oppressive empires, all dominated and subjugated and murdered their conquered peoples. The only difference between these older imperialists and Western imperialists is that the modern Europeans had the advantage of better and bigger weapons than their predecessors (and smallpox of course). It's an impossible dream, I know, to demand that history be taught accurately and fairly at the liberal university....but imagine the consequences! When talking about the transatlantic slave trade for example, professors would describe in more detail the very important African role in a system of human trafficking that was a vibrant industry hundreds and hundreds of years before a European ever even thought about bringing an African to the new world. Furthermore, they might be more keen to discuss how a few thousand free blacks even owned slaves themselves in the south (envision the implications for reparations suits and other liberal "pet projects")! On a similar line, when talking about the "genocide" of the Native Americans, professors wouldn't "conveniently" forget that Indian tribes from the Inca to the Iroquois had been building empires and exterminating and enslaving each other for generations before colonists arrived, or that many of the tribes even formed alliances with white men to destroy rival tribes. Native Americans were war-like and genocidal too...the European was just better at it. Needless to say, this doesn't mean that what the white man did was good, or even justified really, but the blatant lies and glossing over of the rest of the world's oppressive history does nothing but exacerbate stereotypes and the culture of victimization and demonization that breeds unchecked at the university. Learning about other cultures will also help remove many misconceptions American students have about the rest of the world, in particular many of the European countries that are often propped up as "superior alternatives" to the United States. In one recent interview on television a "whiteness studies" professor praised the Scandinavian countries as being much less racist and more tolerant than the United States, which, she insists, was founded on "genocide of Native Americans and slavery." Of course the Scandinavian countries have racial harmony...they are 99.5+% homogenous! Cultures clash whenever they mix in large numbers. One only has to look at France and see the increase in violence between native French and Danish citizens and their respective growing Muslim immigrant populations to see how even the most "progressive" nations have problems of prejudice and ethnic disharmony. It is up to the students and American people to see that changes are implemented in the way history is taught at our schools (this is an issue that begins at the elementary level). Students should be prepared to offer their fellow classmates and instructors "lessons" in non-Eurocentric history whenever a leftist professor begins to tow the tired line of oppressive white history. Educate yourself, and look outside the university curriculum to find websites and books that offer a REAL glimpse into the history of other peoples. The information I provided in this article cannot be found in any "slave narrative" or doctoral thesis on race power-relations metaphors in early Disney movies. It takes some work, but it is very much worth it. Good luck!

People or things in sports that make you feel old

I remember when Shawn Kemp was the man and I had his autograph on a limited edition poster of him dunking on the Space Needle. Met him in person too and the dude was nice and chatted with me only being in the 4th grade at the time. -
Does anyone think the are good enough to do at least a weekly bio on characters, directors, film companies, distributers etc relating to horror or sci-fi. Of course only 1 character or whatever at a time and needs to be somewhat lengthy depending on the character/company/director.
