I need help with a question on my business partners G4.
We just recently upgraded to Panther, and the entire F@$!IN computer crashed. After rebooting the computer still runs in Jag, but no longer recognizes the 150 gig hd that was installed a month ago. Re-installation attempts for Panther all run into errors and there is months of Avid and Maya work stuck in that hard drive.
I know my software pretty damn well, but I don't have the slightest idea what could have caused this problem. I know I will probably have to hire a pro, but if anyone here could maybe point me in the right direction it would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks in advance, Vass

I can't beleive anyone here actually claimed that Bush does not lie. What planet have you been on?
Here is a few...
Speaker: Bush, George - President
Date: 5/11/2004
Quote/Claim: "Some say the No Child Left Behind Act doesn't provide enough money to meet our goals... People say, well, it's an unfunded mandate to put accountability systems in place. No, the accountability systems are largely funded by the federal government." [Source: White House Web site]
Fact: "This year alone, the Bush administration shortchanges American schools $9.4 billion under No Child Left Behind." - NY Times, 3/14/04
Date: 9/29/2000
Quote/Claim: "[If elected], Governor Bush will work to…establish mandatory reduction targets for emissions of four main pollutants: sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide, mercury and carbon dioxide." [Souirce: Bush Environmental Plan]
Fact: "I do not believe that the government should impose on power plants mandatory emissions reductions for carbon dioxide." - President Bush, 3/13/03
Speaker: Bush, George - President
Date: 4/22/2004
Quote/Claim: "I have a responsibility as the President to put people in an administration that understands the importance of conserving our natural resources and making them better." [Source: White House Web site]
Fact: "Oil-industry officials have been invited to a meeting at the Environmental Protection Agency tomorrow to discuss the plan, which would temporarily raise the allowable sulfur content for gasoline." - WSJ, 4/21/04
Speaker: Bush, George - President
Date: 9/23/2003
Quote/Claim: “All governments that support terror are complicit in a war against civilization.” - UN Speech [Source: White House Web site]
Fact: The Administration continues its close ties with the Saudis despite the findings of a bipartisan commission investigating 9/11. The commission found the Saudi government “not only provided significant money and aid to the suicide hijackers but also allowed potentially hundreds of millions of dollars to flow to Al Qaeda and other terrorist groups through suspect charities and other fronts.” - LA Times, 8/2/03
Bush sucks.

Still play all the Ultimas. ur-quan masters civ 2 (thought civ 3 sucked) and the spiderman game for the x-box is awesome!

Speaking of which, did anyone hear that David Hasselhoff is gonna do a rap record? His artist name will be Hassel da Hoff. I kid you not. That was a joke made by Ice-T in reference to a question if he could make anyone a rapper. He said yes, they asked even David Hasselhoff, to which he replied "yeah I could make him a rapper and his name would be Hassel da Hoff. However this does not mean there is going to be a Hassel da Hoff album being dropped, ever!

Though it would be cool if you could subjugate a race by going to their homeworld, destroy ~200-300 ships, and make them your b!@ches. It should be an option if when asked what to name your new alliance, you name it the Empire of Vassago (or whatever).
I mean if one Kohr-Ah ship can wipe out the entire Zoq-Fot-Piq race why can't an ancient Prequerser vessel?
Wonder how effective an Ilwrath would be against the Sa-Matra.

For simplicity I will include links. When we go into a country without the support of the U.N. the organization that was designed to prevent World Wars, I would call that a breach of international policy if not law. And for the so called coalition of the willing how many of those 47 nations actually provided something for the war beyond 200-500 troops. Those incredibly powerful nations like Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, Moldavia, Uzbekistan, Tonga, Costa Rica, Honduras, Ethiopia, Eritrea ( where the hell is Eritrea?), Rwanda and wait lets not forget Afghanistan (I'm sure they had a BIG choice in this matter). The list goes on of nations that are in some way in our debt. Very few nations with actual power joined us in this mission and if they did they were coerced. Not only that those nations that were actually simpathetic to the United States after 9/11 have become disgusted with our actions since then. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/2862343.stmAs for Bush being corrupt I only need you to go to one site... http://hometown.aol.com/GovExposed/or you can go to www.Howardstern.com for a ton of links to horrible crap the Bush administration has done. And Bioslayer as for your last post, I have had one of my best friends die in Iraq NEEDLESY, and have two buddies still over there and the only messages I get from those two is that 1. People don't want us there, not a single one. and 2. They have no idea what they are killing people for... the terrorists were mostly from Saudi Arabia. Why in the hell didn't we attack Saudi Arabia? Oh wait, the Bush family and friends have had ties with the royal Saudi family (who are not great dictators themselves) and the Bin-Ladin family for decades. http://www.commondreams.org/headlines01/1211-05.htmAll in all, it is disgusting and smacks of pure hubris. I am pure American baby, and I would die for this country, but I will NOT die for Bush, Cheney, Unical, Haliburton, the Carlyle group, etc. Peace to all.

No one thinks that Saddam Hussein was a good guy, and no one thinks that it was a bad idea pulling him out of power (except for a few in Iraq), but Bush and Co. didn't operate in a fashion that coincides with international law. Laws that were put in place to stabilize the world, what Bush did made it seem to the rest of the world that the U.S. is going to do whatever it wants, whenever it wants, no matter what anyone else says, and that is bullshit.
Also I think it is pretty ironic that Bush had top members of the Taliban party on his ranch in Texas in 1999, to discuss the posibility of a pipeline through Afganistan, a pipeline which is happily being built by Bush backers (probably the real power in this administration) Unical and Haliburton.
Bush is a corrupt stooge and needs to be taken out of office as soon as possible.
Also I'm tired of all this crap about criticizing the war being "unamerican", being American gives us that right to question and that's what makes this place so god damn great.
