..Crawford, Texas (AP) -- A tragic flood this morning destroyed the personal library of President George W. Bush.
The flood began in the presidential bathroom where the books were kept. Both of his books have been lost.
A presidential spokesman said the president was devastated, as he had almost finished coloring the second one.
The White House tried to call FEMA but there was no answer.
Could you give us a reference to MS mandating that legacy software - or any software for that matter - be removed from circulation.
It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that I don't believe you.
I watch DVDs from Redbox for $1 each. Don't need ComCast, dish, or other services that try to suck your wallet dry. Get news/weather from the Internet and/or radio, regular TV is too censored, sponsered, depressing.
I thought I was a hold-out, still using ME :o) I wish I still had my Micron comp. with W95 - I "raised" it from the system mess it came with (Win. 3), through the first version of W95 and, finally, to the good version of W95........it did far more, without crashing, than my Dell with ME. Learned I could find any file somewhere on the net - there must be a driver somewhere that can be downloaded for your printer. The mfg. website almost always has old drivers to download.
If that is true then yes, they do suck.
Do you know what the interest rates and tax rates in '29 were? Both were high and prevented an early rebound in the market, people languished. Some jumped from tall buildings.
With low rates today, the economy will rebound faster.
Writing history, already?!
Per Jim:
Well, it's not just him - and I'm no economist.... but I'd say that his administration's trillion-plus deficit really will be affecting us for years and years to come.
Per SteveB:
AFIK, it's already been done. They call it 'deficit spending'.
More important: the federal debt went from 5.7 trillion to over 10.5 trillion.

I started watching the above back on a C-band dish years ago and have watched a great deal of deterioration over time in quality programming. In fact, the SciFi channel was commercial free and pretty good back then too. HC is still somewhat okay but all of the others now fall into my definition of crap.
It's not on the free tv selection anyway though so what has that to do with the lamentation of the loss of free tv, which is what the OP was speaking about:

My entire point was that the loss of free TV isn't enough to pay for programming one has to actually pay for anyway.
Don't forget how the budget got to him. The Democratic controlled congress sent it over. He foolishly signed what they wanted.
If you expect a fast recovery from the current fiancial troubles you are living in dream land.
200,000 stores will close this year, and 3000 malls go bankrupt. We have twice the number of stores our country needs, and many years of home inventoryRecovery isnt going to be fast or complete:(
My personal recovery is fine, thank you very much.
I sat up sand bags for defense.
first of all, i'd never have a house that close to me. IF i did by some brain lapse, i'd merely make an agreement with the neighbor to mount it on his house on the other side or whatever needed to be done.
sdoi tell if I were your neighbor would you mind me trimming your trees or offer to mount my dish on your home?:(
Many stations are not broadcasting a digital signal, and won't until February. Other stations are using low power backup transmitters. When they turn off the analog signal, they will start feeding the digital programming through their primary transmitters, and your receptions will be as good as it ever was, except a lot clearer, with sub-channels.
I realize that things you don't understand are scary, but you should wait to complain until you see what you are getting.
What really irritates me are the ignorant conservatives who think the world ended the last time they figured something out, which was about
1968. If they don't want to participate in progress, then they don't get the benefits of the progress. It's like they expect us to cripple ourselves because they are too stupid to read an instruction manual.
Talk about hand-waving. I certainly wouldn't be inclined to let a neighbor mount a dish on my house, nor would I presume to ask if I could mount one on his. The contractual situation with Dish aside (they take a very dim view of the hardware extending beyond the property line, even if you swear you aren't sharing signal), the insurance liability and potential resale problems make the idea a non-starter.
Either that, or your neighbors are a whole lot more accommodating than the ones around here.

The interesting thing is that 35mm is a wide screen format. In the movie theater, that format is called Vistavision. The negative is 24mm x 36mm, which is a 2:3 aspect ratio. If you print a 35mm negative full frame, the print is 8x12. After the success of Cinerama, they started using anamorphic lenses in filming and projection to give an even wider format.
The 3:4 ratio was from 16mm film, which was cheaper and plenty high quality for TV production. Now that TV doesn't use film any more, there's no economic reason not to broadcast a wide screen format. If somebody insists on sticking with the old 3:4 tube, they can either letterbox the picture or crop the edges. The new digital technology gives them the choice. In the old days, they just cropped the edges for TV broadcast.
And remote control.
And why do we need TV after 11 PM?
And whatever happened to the tube tester, and the TV repair guy who made house calls?
Hi, Progress has price. Digital signal needs less power. That is nature of digital technology. Price of flat panel digital TVs came down a lot. Time to move on. Or erect an antenna with more gain. Also LCD panel TVs use lot less power compared to old CRT TVs.
