I recommend everyone download favorite youtube videos
to your system before they're removed for copyright violations
or other reasons.

I don't believe it was ever that way. If you want the desktop to contain an
icon that takes you to a particular web site[1], which is what I assume you
want (rather than a shortcut to the web browser itself), I believe all you
have to do is drag the icon for the web site from the location bar (just
to the left of the URL) onto the desktop.

[1] Though god only knows why people want zillions of icons cluttering
up their desktop, especially considering you have to dig through
windows that are blocking them in order to see the icons. But
that's a whole different subject.

Flash movies aren't in "Divx" format, so to play it in your favorite
player you will need to download a codec to do it.

The k-lite standard or premium codec pack contain flv support:
http://www.free-codecs.com/download/K_Lite_Codec_Pack.htm

I also use the bundled Media player classic because it's designed to
play videos instead of showing frilly crap that makes the video screen
smaller. I also use the slightly related Quicktime alternative / QT
light to replace Bloattime, err, Quicktime:
http://www.codecguide.com/qt_lite.htm

I also use Real player alternative to play RealSlow, err, Real player.
http://codecguide.com/about_real.htm

A standalone player that plays most formats is VLC:
http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

To download flash videos from you-tube etc I use the VideoDownloader
plug in for Firefox that was referenced elsewhere. I like Firefox
because of the plugins. For example I also use Mouse gestures to
navigate pages with simple mouse movements and I use Adblock Plus to
block ads.

I don't think even that makes much of a difference, especially if both
parents are working.

It was the Baby Boomers that started this trend and it was the Baby Boomers
that raised these children.

Funny, when I saw the words "'me' generation", those are the exact numbers
I thought of -- people who were in their 20's in the 1970's.

I don't see that there's necessarily a connection between fatherless
children and unmarried parents. An unmarried couple could have a
child together and the father could be a great parent, very involved
with his child's life. A married couple could get a divorce and the
father could stay very involved in the children's lives[1]. Or a married
couple could stay married and the father could pretend as much as
possible that the children don't exist and devote no effort to raising
them.

- Logan

[1] Note that I'm not saying I think divorce isn't hard on children.
I think it's very hard on them. I just don't think it means
the father automatically disappears.

I thought I read that article. The article I read made a lasting
impression. I don't know if it used the word "narcissistic", but that's
what it called the Missionary Generation. They were the most educated
in history. With education came the expectation of privilege and
authority.

As young adults they set records as substance abusers and sexual
libertines behind a righteous facade. Their morality regarding their
children, born about 1890 to 1910, was that children must not be
spoiled. Babies born out of wedlock were turned over to institutions
where nurses did not spoil them by heeding their cries. In some the
mortality was 100%.

These were required to attend school but were the worst educated since
the start of compulsory schooling. Teachers encouraged them to drop out
and go to work. Child exploitation thrived. When they were old enough,
they were ordered to charge machine guns. They died by the millions and
the patriotic Missionary Generation found it glorious. When the
survivors got home the Missionary Generation outlawed alcohol.

The article says this generation, with their limited booklearning and
history of being abused and neglected, were the best Americans of
several generations. The next generation, who fought WWII, are called
the greatest, but the WWI generation were the voters and policymakers
who determined how America undertook that war.

"Gunsmoke" showed the values of the WWI generation. It's different from
the Westerns earlier and later generations preferred.

The article I read drew comparisons between the Boomers and the
Missionaries and says GenX may shape up like the WWI generation.

You essentially say the opposite below.

That wasnt true of the bottom of that society.

Milenko Kindl

Hospital officials in northwestern Iraq have told TIME that the death
toll from Tuesday's blasts in Qahataniya may exceed 300, making the
multiple suicide bombings the deadliest terrorist operation in the
country since the fall of Saddam Hussein. One hospital is saying that
there are at least 500 bodies and that 375 people are injured. That
report, however, cannot yet be verified. The only previous occasion
when the toll from concerted attacks has exceeded 200 was last
November, when six car-bombs in Baghdad's Sadr City killed 215 people.
If the toll in the Qataniya incident grows, it could become the worst
terrorist incident since al-Qaeda's September 11, 2001 attack on the
U.S. (The Beslan massacre in Russia in September 2004 came to
approximately 330, about half of the total children).

Since then, the massive "surge" of U.S. and Iraqi troops in and around
Baghdad has made the Iraqi capital safer than before from such
bombings - but terrorist groups have stepped up attacks elsewhere.
There have been a number of attacks in northern Iraq, which had
enjoyed a long spell of peace before the start of the "surge."

Tuesday's bombings were also a reminder that even successful U.S.
military operations can have a short shelf life - a sobering thought
for Bush Administration officials and independent analysts who have
recently been talking up the successes of the "surge." After all, the
area around Qahataniya was the scene of a major anti-insurgent
operation barely two years ago. In the fall of 2005, some 8,000
American and Iraqi troops flushed a terrorist group out of the nearby
town of Tal Afar in an operation that was a precursor to the "clear,
hold and build" strategy that underpins the current "surge." A few
months later, President Bush cited Tal Afar as a success story for the
U.S. enterprise in Iraq.

There have been several attacks in and around Tal Afar since then;
last March, two truck bombs killed more than 100 people in a Shi'ite
neighborhood in the town. The bombings in Qahataniya were a deadly
reminder that the terrorists have not gone very far away.

The U.S. military said al-Qaeda was the prime suspect; some Iraqi
government officials fingered Ansar al-Sunnah, which has links to al-
Qaeda and has long been active in northern Iraq. Early reports suggest
the majority of the victims were Yazidis, a pre-Islamic sect in Syria
and northern Iraq.

Throughout history, Yazidis have faced persecution because an
archangel they worship as a representative of God is often identified
by Muslims (and some Christians) as Satan. Branded as devil
worshipers, they are detested by extremists on both sides of Iraq's
sectarian divide.

The Yazidis have their own extremists: earlier this year, members of
the community stoned to death a young woman they accused of converting
to Sunni Islam to marry her lover. A widely distributed video of the
stoning inflamed Sunni sentiments; in retaliation, insurgents executed
23 Yazidi factory workers near Mosul. With reporting by Andrew Lee

It might. You could reuse teabags for dying; other natural options are
onion skins, turmeric, mustard, blueberries, and woad.

Note that natural dyes tend to fade quickly in sunlight.

At least when it comes to getting that job. (Keeping it is a slightly
different matter.)

Hiring an employee is an expensive and high risk investment and you're
entrusting him with company assets and secrets. And with all the labor
protection laws (and lawyers), cancelling your subscription to his services
is also costly and fraught with legal risk.

So you're faced with a choice of two hires. One of them has been personally

Well, if that's what you want, maybe you should be going to Cornell
College[1]. Read the links:

http://www.cornellcollege.edu/ocaat/index.shtml

http://www.cornellcollege.edu/ocaat/faq.shtml

Having said that, I believe they're a small liberal arts school, so if
you want an engineering or science degree, they're not the right place
to go, probably.

As Nancy Reagan used to say "Just don't do it!!!" 8-)

All kidding aside I have to really question what the heck you are doing
to those digital cameras that you kill them off every year on average.
Either you have the worst possible luck choosing the worst possible
camera every time, or you are doing something with how you use/handle
them that brings them to a premature death.

I have three of them in a "paid" (not retail price) price range of 80
dollars, 120.00 dollars and 500 dollars. None of them have died. And the
$500.00 one - a five year old Fuji MX2900Z 2.3 megapixel - is still used
*heavily* and still works fine.

That all being said, you are not the person to by an extended warranty.
Because the first rule of voiding an extended warranty is saying to the
customer "you dropped it" and that's where your "protection" ends. With
cameras they will only fix *known* manufacturer defects. And
until/unless/after the manufacturer gets a few thousand calls from
consumers screaming bloody hell about the exact same problem you won't
see any camera repair under extended warranty.

Lap top extended warranties? The favorite way Lenovo voids extended
warranty coverage of late is to claim "water damage" to a lap top. Not a
half gallon of water in the lap top. The dried residue of what might
have been moisture covering less than a quarter centimeter of a board in
the lap top. That may have been deposited there and dried while the lap
top was being assembled... And usually not visible to the naked eye.

i think this is because most young people are idealistic,
and as they get older, they get some wisdom (hopefully)
and see the world for what it is, and so they start sounding
like their parents.

I like it, 31 years, at the age of 50! We did that too - got
married then grew up together. :)
We're 67, married 41 years. It has always been 'our' money.
During the difficult early years, knowing that we were in it together
always helped, when dread and dismay would set in every third week,
the week before the monthly paycheck came in. No question that it
would have been an easier, pleasanter life for us all if there had
been enough money. But at least we didn't nickel-and-dime each other,
or treat each other like roommates.
I really can't blame them for not trusting each other, but I feel
deeply sorry for these poor distrustful young people. Must be very
hard to live with someone who considers you just one "option" among
many.

Presumably because most of them didnt have the woman working, so it wasnt feasible.

Many more of that generation you are howling about arent even married at all.

Or old farts have always howled about what the kids get up to.

You can read the ancient greeks doing it, millennia ago.

Presumably everyone else did it too, it just wasnt as well recorded with cave men etc.

yeah, we knew each other 2.5 months when we married. he, of course,
suggested that we live together (it WAS the 70's), but i suggested we get
married. :) so we also got to know each other while married. i lucked
out.
can't speak for him, especially now that menopause has hit. I hold the
0-shit

which is why there's a good chance i won't marry again. i'd need a long
(years) celibate courtship to trust the men of today, and there aren't too
many
men out there that would stand for that in this day and age.

thanks. i was searching something else. i didn't think that those search
terms would get me what i wanted. i know that just because you push the
google video button to download doesn't mean that it
saves to the hd. and you have to have the google player to watch it.
but i know how to save it and watch it on a divx player.

True -- as far as initially getting in the door. However, unless you

job draws more on education and experience.

It's a good model of how the real world works. Juggling multiple
priorities and switching from one task to another is standard
operating procedure out here.

understand that

but not such a god way to "learn" in my
opinion....especially something such as calculus

Id much rather have ONLY a calculus class every day say
for three or four hrs daily for several weeks... rather
than intermixed with other classes (history) for 16
weeks

Thats just the common effect of college, that sort of
group dynamic produces that sort of wooly 'thinking' |-)

Yeah, that was always my main objection, the
entire concept of lectures is real dinosaur stuff.

Not so bad in the hard science with pracs etc, but the modern
trend to assignments counting towards a substantial percentage
of the final grade instead of just final exams has real downsides too.

Some colleges did try that sort of thing in the 60s, but it never
really ended up being more than a short term fad. And it was
mostly used when teaching hard languages like Japanese.

> Seems to me that this more intense way of learning which allows
> one to concentrate only on that one subject would be best

Sure, but its got real downsides too, particularly for those who
treat college more as a social thing than just for education.
There is a real sense in which particularly for kids just out of
highschool, that college is more about a social situation where
the kids get more freedom to do what they want when they
want to do it, rather than the more structured high school situation.

I've got a rather jaundiced view of the college system, essentially
because what I was employed to do, computing, didnt even get
covered in any of the college education, it wasnt even available then.

Not so practical to pick it up as you go along in other
fields tho,most obviously with medicine and surgery etc.

You havent established cause and effect there tho.

Its more likely to just be the result of the fact that the two populations are very different,
its the dregs of the labor market that end up with just a high school education now.

It varys dramatically with the field of work and the employment market.

Nope, its more important to actually getting the job than success in that job once you have got it.

And some fields like small business are ones where a degree isnt much use at all.

And some like medicine etc where you dont even get to start without one.

Good one.

The really funny part is most men are thinking: "Why don't women get
something so simple?" And most women are thinking: "That's so true of
all those other slobs, but not my guy -- he's different!"

Don't you just *hate* it when a naked woman blocks the TV?

..sigh... Yes, I did. Just read the list, smiled, then thought,
"But not my guy..."

Discover offers a gas card that gives 5% cashback. However, the 5%
rate is only applied to the first $1200 worth of gas purchases each
year (i.e., max $60 cashback per year at the higher rate), then it
drops to a lower rate.

I use about 400 gallons of gas per year commuting, so I just max out
the benefit. YMMV ;-)

Here's a comparison site which I used to find my LD carrier. Don't know about the SS thing. Some of
these co.'s drop any monthly fee in exchange for online-only billing. I did this, we hardly ever make
LD calls, but when we do, I don't want to have to pay a monthly fee just to have it, dial long strings,
locate the card, etc.
