Yes! YES! I knew it!

Not only are they using christian babies' blood to freeze this water, but those damn Elders of Zion are now plotting to spray the stuff on nearby Palestinian Arabs, thus rendering them infertile and seize more of their land!
Oh the humanity! ... Where are the Norwegians when we need them?

Comment Re:I could be stupid about "pure" water (Score 0) 165

it was tap water. How on Earth it did not crystallize on its own is a complete mystery. It's not like it was pure by any definition of the word.

OMG... Are these "bottled water" acolytes still running around?
Why should tap water (from a large municipality, or even a well managed smaller one) not be pure?
OK so it has some chlorine ions in it. So?
This is not particulate matter, such as you might find in a stream or in a well.
Grrrr.... you brainwashed plastic bottle people are what's wrong with this society...

Comment Re:Really? WinME? (Score 0) 430

I have helped SEVERAL old ladies who ran WinME. And then asked me to fix their "computer problems"
I simply upgraded them to a "corporate copy" of Win2000, which alas is now ending its life-cycle.
I suggest you do the same - if you can find a W2K "corporate copy".
If MS ever wants to sue you for replacing WinME with an illegal W2K, well grrr...
YOU will fight it to the supreme court!! And will help you! And your lawyer.
No one. NO ONE! In his right mind shd be running WinME when W2K SP4 is still available (even if you hafta buy it from a Hong-Kong basement) !
I'm currently running Win7-7100 ultimate and I guess will soon have to bite the bullet.
Aside from my old W2K/ apache on an older PC. Listen: Win2K RULES! And lives forever!! (providing you have Firefox)

Son, ya got a lot to learn.
You sound lake a linux-weenie, kid.
I run a "sweet-spot" desktop that was home-built a coupla years ago. And I installed the 1st Win-7 on it more than a year ago.
Heh-heh. It was sweet-spot 2 years ago.. but-
It's an AMD-64 now running 7100 ultimate. On only 2 Gig
And is fast, according to my nerdy gamer sons, whose time should be better spent writing their theses, instead of this nonsense about Warcraft and other silly stuff.
Looks like I'll hafta bite the bullet in the next coupla months and pay out - what? $250+ for Ultimate? I NEED them bitlboncker and other features, sonny!
Either that, or spend more time in my Ubuntu partition...

Hey, ya got a job kid?
If'n ya don't .. we need some PHP / SQL / Apache experience - golly it's Linux too! You lucked in!

Perhaps. I remember, back in the 50s, 60s Canada had (sort of) the fastest fighter in the world. All home built.
But- not only that, they had the biggest, most powerful jet engine to power it- As a test-bed, they strapped it to the side of a US B-47 bomber where it perfomed pretty well.

But soon economics (and perhaps US interference) got in the way- the whole project was canceled, the engineers packed their bags and went south to work on the Apollo project.
Now Canada is slowly reverting to our rightful place as Hewers of Wood and Drawers of Water... as the US chuckles. (well, the US isn't chuckling much now)
Oh well.. we still have our universal medicare. For the time being.
