Enjoy it while you can, Register...very few people under 40 buy newspapers. The trend is NOT your friend...
We're going to go with this one. Please PM me with the amount of your donations and my POB address. Thanks to everyone for your participation! Thanks especially to you, Critter. The cost of the 4x6 is $1100. The cost of the 6x8 is $2200. The targeted date for running the ad is the Sunday before the NH primary which is January 8th.
n/p. I used to get so much info from that channel. what a waste that Comcast killed it off after the merger with G4. all the video editing/creation progs for linux that I look into on SourceForge have a ton of bugs. know of any good ones?
Do these words/pic scare you? Hillary Clinton’s Global Agenda http://www.usasurvival.org/ck061903.shtml

All it takes is practice. I'm not a geek. In 1998 I didn't know what html was. I did a google on it. Tried a few minor things, then got a little fancier, and then fancier. Then I had to work with images. So I got a free download of Serif Photo Plus 6, and fiddled with that. Sure it was a pain to find my way, but eventually I did. Then I upgraded a few times, but never to the latest version. I always bought the sale copy of the previous version, so I have a grand total of $40 invested, I think. Serif has a support forum, so when I run into a brick wall trying to create an effect, I would post it there and get an answer in short order. I haven't used it in a while, but I bet it is still active.
Not that I know much about it but people who do know like Gimp (a LOT). I use Linux (pclinuxos 2007 final release, started out as a beta tester on .92). I like most of the programs in Linux, the ones I actually use, and find them as good or better than anything in Windows. I switched to Linux two or two and a half years ago, something like that anyway, and I don't miss Windows a bit.
Thanks Critter. Do you know anything about Gimp? That is what I have (that and some other things--I have had a LITTLE success with showfoto but it isn't complicated). Here is something I did with showfoto and ksnapshot (screenshot of my computer). edited to shrink size a bit
You did that? And you're saying you have trouble with photo manipulating? lol
Well, thank you for the kind words but showfoto is not complicated, not like Gimp or Photoshop.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. You did that work of art on showfoto?
Yes. It's been a while but that is what I did it with. I posted it one time on a linux board I used to post on and one of the moderators who hated me for reasons unknown removed it and claimed that it was a copyright violation. He was the only guy on that board that I ever had any real problems with, but then he didn't hate just me, he hated almost everyone. Had one of the worst attitudes you could imagine for a moderator. I don't post there anymore and haven't in a long time.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. If you can do that, then you are decades ahead of me. lol Awesome work!
Thank you, you are too kind. It was no big deal and just did it through trial and error. I haven't fooled with it much since I did that one so there would probably be lots of trials to do it again.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. A few suggested revisions: 1) The line "They scare us. That is why we need your help." should be "They scare us, which is why we need your help." 2) The line "We are asking that you vote..." should be "We ask that you vote..." (active is always better than passive) or "We urge you to vote..." (for more emphasis) 3) The line "...for the only candidate worthy of your trust, and who can beat Hillary Clinton in the general election, according to numerous public opinion polls" is clumsy because it does not clearly state that RP is the only candidate who can beat Hillary. How about "...for the only candidate worthy of your trust and able to beat Hillary Clinton in the general election, according to numerous public opinion polls."

You might like this one--I didn't take the time I should have to change the color of the lettering but I should have. Mainly I just wanted to see if I remembered how to do what I did with the other one. If you can't make out what it says under the pic it says "Ghetto Chicks."
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. yes, that polishes it up. very good.
Gawd, these nitpickers are driving me nuts. hehehe Good catches though, seriously. I'll get on em.
LMAO! That's great!
Thank you. Glad you liked it.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. I have gimp,too, but that's for photo editing. have been looking for something to do video with, either cross-platform OS or linux, as I'm using fedora7. the only program I miss is DVDdecrypter, which is winOS only, since 7 doesn't come with Wine but f6 did. looks more like I'll have to go that route and see how a video editor works in Wine.
hahahaha... xclnt!
I don't know if they have what you're looking for or not but you might want to check out pclinuxos 2007. I like it a lot and has LOTS of programs in the repository.

Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. Same file name. You may have to do a reload to see changes.
i like. that reads very well.
I've got the PCLOS-GNOME-2.18.0 version that I've run live and am planning on installing on my second drive when I can get around to clearing what I need off of it. I like some of the KDE apps, like K3b, Amarok and Kword, but don't really care for the KDEdesktop enviro. maybe it's just quirky on fedora but I prefer the feel of gnome.
Yeah, a friend who helped me set mine up is also a gnome heretic. j/k, it's all what you get used to I reckon.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. I think I am going to by a new computer and try running linux on it to get a feel for it.
Time for a new thread then, I guess?
yes, i'll do it tomorrow a.m.
cool. the debian based distro's have the best repositories/selection of programs. only one thing about linux that hasn't caught up... no one seems to be able to port shockwave player yet. adobe flash plug-in only. : (
Sometimes critter amazes me.
I don't even know what a linux desktop would look like? Is it something like windows or is it more like a dos environment?
oh, they're mostly all GUI now. there's some things like mods to the updater config files that you do in a terminal/shell as root, but just about all the old command line stuff has graphic front end now so it is friendlier to win users to change over. [screenshots] plus, most have a live CD/DVD so you can run it from RAM without installing it. it's a good way to check for hardware compatibility before it gets installed and you find out it doesn't have a driver to match your soundcard or something. the live CD/DVD iso files are usually free for most distro's, just like the full OS iso. some, like ubuntu, can be installed from the live disc. just burn it, put it in you cd rom and reboot.
Interesting. Thanks! I may try burning a CD and using it on an old machine I have here, just for fun.
try this one. I use it to rescue all the data from my xp drive when it decided not to boot anymore, even after trying several restore options, was able to mount the xp drive and transfer everything that needed to be saved to an external usb drive. it's very handy, runs on anything.
Critter, I think you will love Linux and I am almost certain of it if you get the right one. While I am very partial to the one I use there are many "flavors" of Linux from sizes you can put on a floppy disk to full-blown commercial versions with thousands of programs. And http://frozentech.com/ is a good source to see how many different versions are available. If you get them from frozentech there is a small fee but you can download the iso file from just about any of them listed and burn the file to your own cd. That is how I got mine.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. And you might want to check out distrowatch to give you some idea of the pros and cons of different ones. And an idea as to how popular each one is (but that should never be the sole criteria--the guy behind Ubuntu is a millionaire and ships them free all over the world and thus it is rated highly; but I tried a derivative of Ubuntu one time and didn't like it at all).
