Thank you StateCop. You probably have the most experience, here, in the area of guns and gun crimes. As you said, the bans do nothing but keep guns out of the hands of good people. I don't understand how making more laws can stop criminal activity of this type. The fact is that it can not. Crimes are commited by people who break the law. Why wouldnt they break a new one?I hope you don't hate all liberals StateCop, because I like what you have to say. I do like Moore though I don't agree with everything he has to say(not even close), but he has passion. If only more people would share their thoughts with such passion instead of following the lead of whomever is most visable. Moore would be one message among many. With so many loud annoying opinions flying around nobody would know which one to agree with, and might develope their own.

Amendment II A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed. Ususally people don't think of milita being relevant to these days, and it's been cited as a reason the second amendment is not relevant any longer. Militia can be defined in the context of the consittution as, "The entire body of physically fit civilians eligible by law for military service." Militia by this definition obviously covers a large portion of the adult population. Often people would join a local militia to receive some form of basic training, but that is not implicit. In time of crisis, those who were not part of the army or militia would often join a militia group, and thus the right to bear arms was important, because a militia often does not have funding to supply weapons to all who would join. The right to bear arms was enured to the people that we might have the ability to ensure for ourselves a free and secure state. How can you have a free state if the people are not able to defend it? The United States, being in the position we are in, it is not likely we will face a full scale invading force any time soon. Who are those we must defend against? Those who would jeopardize our security and freedoms. Criminals who would threaten our person and property and government who would attempt to strip us of our rights, in the name of security(that security we the people are tasked with keeping). I would not reccomend fighting the government with the gun just yet, but we did it once in our history at least, which is the reason we have a constitution laid out as we do, which limits the governments power over the people. Rather, write letters and vote Run for office and speak out. Fewer guns in the hands of the people may save the lives of a few unfortunate people caught in gun accidents, but it will lead to more gun crime. Restrictive gun laws only say, "The people can not be trusted." This is a very dangerous thing to say in a land in which the government claims to be of the people, by the people, for the people. If the people can not be trusted with guns, how can you trust them with the power to legislate, a far more dangerous tool. "The three boxes of freedom: the ballot box, the soap box and the ammo box"

FA will never die. I will play with myself alone every day if I have to.

Iagree I would suggest anyone upgrading now for the long term to go for a sockte 754 board. If you're strapped for cash you can get the sempron(new duron based on Athlon 64 with 64 bit disabled) with room to move up the ladder with a Athlon 64. 754 is the long term retail plan for AMD, with 939 being mostly workstations and anyone who has cash to burn to get the top of the line. Socket A will be phasing out over the next year, as AMD expect K8 revenues to exceed K7 by the end of the year.

That's ok... I have pound puppies ;P I've had them since birth, so it's not freaky or anything.

They don't tell you, but somewhere between 60 and 80 gigs is the cut off... It's not really to hamper users but to discourage server activity. I have done 20 gigs a month for up to 4 months and never heard a word.

Could be that DELL and HP used VLKs that got blacklisted.. I heard that SP2 will write over the boot sector of any computer with a blacklisted key(which includes many from large retailers). You have to call the retailer to get a proper key I think...
