Open the laptop slowly and carefully: 3. Turn it on, as well as the sound; 4. Make sure that the passenger next to you is looking; 5. Access the Internet; 6

A cowboy walks into the bedroom carrying a sheep in his arms and says, "Honey, this is the cow I make love to when you have a headache." The wife, laying in the bed reading a book looks up and says, "If you weren't such an idiot, you'd know that's a sheep, not a cow." The guy replies, "If you weren't such a presumptuous bitch, you'd realize I wasn't talking to yo

So far I have a basic hardware outline for an HTPC rig with a sweet Gigabyte MoBo with VGA,DVI, S-video, HDMI and audio outputs, 2ghz worth of dual channel RAM, a dual TV tuner card w/FM tuner included, all in one card reader with E-SATA port to easily allow data importing, DVD-R drive, a base-line HD capacity of 160gig, 500watt minimum PS and I'm going to attempt running the system on an Intel E

I DLed XMBC so I can play with it and thanks again for the link and other input guys. 8ghz of RAM is absolutely overkill for damn near anything really but it also works well as a marketing tool when presenting a new product to market, with a double bonus these days of such an outrageous memory capacity actually bein cheap since I can pick it up for under $100. One of the major issues I see

Fossil was out at the casa last weekend so we could work over his 'puter and I was amazed at how many artists I had he'd never even heard of.

I think dv8 has the right idea. The censors will always utilize whatever platform/idea serves their purposes best in trying to gather fear mongered followers to go along with their censorish leashes on free speech.
