This is again in the style of complete and utter political incorrectness. Those of you with "a edgukashun" Need not apply. If your views are cemented in stone...Why the hell are you here?
At any rate, here's another rant for myself, my friends, any others that might drop by and have something to say
Politicians, don't you love them? They are in the only profession that doesn't feel a recession. Wow! Pensions after 4 years? AWESOME. The rest of us have to work DECADES for that kind of treatment. Must be nice. You know what I get if I show up 150 days out of 365? I get a really long vacation.
The shame of it is that in this day and age, when we have been through 2 world wars, travelled to the moon, found cures for tuberculosis and isolated the virus that causes AIDS...people are still starving. Not in Bangladesh, or Haiti or Somalia - RIGHT HERE IN TORONTO.
This kind of thing is criminal. There should be charges. I am the first one to point out that we are already a welfare state. I am also the first to point out that we try to control the welfare state with paperwork. Come on, really? They will make you disclose all your assets, look for paperwork you may not have because your ex-girlfriend / boyfriend is a wacko and won't let you have your stuff and then make you give you vague references as to why you are not approved. Woe betide anyone in this situation. Think the new airport scanners that strip you more than naked are intrusive? You have such another thing coming.
Shoe size, condom size, cant of your mother's left breast...nothing is sacred. You are now for all intents and purposes a criminal. You are a thief and a liar. Present economic circumstances notwithstanding, good people do not ask for support. They give money, not take it. Therefore, Mr whatever your name is...you are a reprobate of questionable standing. Oh and we will question you.
Let me illustrate...
"Mr. Dirtbag is it? You have a boat, we cannot give you any assistance until you sell that boat."
"It was heavily damaged in a storm and is half submerged in the water. I lost my job in the recesion and I can't afford to have it raised and restored yet."
"Storms notwithstanding Mr. Dirtbag. that boat is worth $10,000 dollars and as such we can no longer help you."
"I have tried to sell it, If you want it take it but I can't get anyone to buy it."
"Did you not have insurance?"
"That was the first thing to go when I lost my job."
"Well Mr. Scumsucking Dirtbag...It seems we have a pickle..."
Mr. Dirtbag is in some trouble, no?
When asking for help, you automatically forfeit your rights, freedoms and dignity.
Make no mistake, if you are naive enough to think that you won't be reminded of your place...you will.
In no uncertain fashion, you will be reminded, every step of the way that you are now chattel and your time is not your own. Regardless of how long you have been paying into the system, you are now dirt. There are no good, decent or honest people who have fallen on hard times, just the dregs of humanity that we are forced to by those left wing bleeding hearts (that we incedentally have been draining the blood out of too) to give at least a minimal amount of support to.
I believe that the pay scales of politicians needs to mirror the per capita gross national product, discounting the tallies from the top and bottom 10 percent of the population. Should there be a shortfall, they pay the percentages out of their personal savings. That way they know how our mistakes affect us. Should they be found to be doing things such as encouraging the emigration of low income workers, they should be impeached, stripped of all assets and made to work in the red light district with a tattoo on their forheads that says "Traitor"
Better yet. Stick them in a room with no breaks except for 30 mins for lunch and make them answer to people why they work all day and can't make ends meet when the government can write off billions of dollars for a scuttled subway project.
Gaaaaaahhh! (Incoherent growling)

Chain Gangs Reloaded
I know at first it seems kind of Draconian, and more than a little Orwellian, but we need to stop the "Compassion" that is slowly destroying our race.
I'm not talking about nationality or skin colour, I mean the human race. Natural selection used to take care of the overpopulation issue due to Negative mutation, disease, old age.
I've seen what humanity's efforts have amounted to. We now have an abundance of courts, jails, and chronic care hospitals all of which are full. Back in the day, people who were (I know this sounds bad) unfit to live - died (Or got lynched). That left far fewer criminals to deal with. Look at what our compassionate interference in human affairs has done to Iran, Kuwait, Cuba. All we tend to do is extend the suffering.
Human nature is self-limiting due to war and greed. In this situation, we need to be aware that the "causes" like "He was from a broken home." or "She was abused." are just that - excuses. They really don't help solve the problem. The solution must start somewhere.
If we have proven that a great percentage of abusers have been abused themselves. Through this we can also deduce by that either a) abuse is hereditary or b) abuse causes a change in the mental\emotional state that predisposes an individual towards furthering the "cycle of abuse." In any case the efficient way to deal with this problem in an ongoing basis is to terminate the individual.
One benefit is that the"cycle of abuse" is terminated. There are no maintenance fees besides burial and the human race becomes stronger as a result. Should we choose to use them as biofuel or fertilizer - wonderful for the environment.
In individual terms, with moderation, compassion is a great thing that can really move mountains. On a humanitarian level, it causes much more harm than good. Until you can understand giving your own life for the good of the Human race, you just won't understand what I'm talking about. In the case of this murderer, instead of complaining about how high our taxes are, kill kim, plant him and like the commercial goes "Save your money".
According to this (Admittedly from 2005) article (http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article778681.ece)
a very high percentage of convicts reoffend soon after they are released. My question is, can you really pretend that you are not playing God by merely incarcerating them? Have you seen what happens to people in jail? Have you seen what happens to people because of being in jail? How about re-adjusting to life outside of jail? Can they get jobs? What about the convicted murderers and rapists that have "served their time"?
A great many murderers are released into society with nary a whisper about it. Do you want a murderer living beside you and your kids. Can you perchance tell me who would? Can you tell me whether having "paid their debt to society" has any bearing on the Ex-Con watching your kids over the weekend? Newsflash folks: The released pedophile on the other side of the fence IS watching them, every second that you aren't.
How do we, in the name of compassion, keep our hands clean of the convicts blood when the blood of those that they have, killed, strung out, robbed, beaten, due to our negligence flows like a river with no end? We must stop letting these guys live to teach their little brothers, cousins and friends how not to get caught and how to get around the law.
We need to have compassion for humanity first, human beings second.

Legalize It! Or How many dreams must die?
AAAAhhhhhhhhrrrrg. So now you know that something is up. (Ya I know it's getting old but it's the only thing original here.)
Anyways...PROSTITUTION! No, I'm not talking about weed which should have been legalized long ago but prostitution. I'm all for it. Now that is not to say that I want my daughter or yours to be the one who becomes a hooker but let's be realistic.
Guys get married because they want some good loving from someone they are attracted to and who they get along with. Women get married for security and status and to have fathers for their children. Personality and questionable habits notwithstanding a la Karla Homolka.
Before you get all bent, here's another -screw you and your true love bullshit. The fact of the matter is we are social animals who are born, grow old and die, just like any other animal. We mate. Get the picture? Take any woman out of her country, drop her somewhere else in the world and make her stay. She will eventually find someone and have children. That's what they do. They find a man and get pregnant. Unless they're lesbians in which case this does not apply. It's not a judgement, it's a fact. No I'm not absolving them of the faculties to make a decision on who and how etcetera, I'm illustrating the fact that she will fall in love 100 times or more in the same city given the chance. So your true love, in the stars, soul-mate may exist but women often settle for what's available and go from there.
What I mean is that when poor old hard-working, self-abnegating hubby comes home and doesn't measure up to Prince Charming's standards of always looking neat and clean, no stubble whatsoever and a body like a rock, disillusioned-wifey starts in with the verbal abuse. Yes, that is what it is. When a man yells at a woman it's abuse, when a woman picks at a man in an ever increasing tone of voice, that is abuse too. Women are good at talking, the trick is getting them to shut up most of the time. We just don't say that as it is not worth the cost in the downtime consisting of having it explained explained in detail, ad-nauseum just how wrong we are and how ashamed we should feel. Men are good at hitting things but we have been unfairly gelded. Now that they don't have to worry about any NEGATIVE repercussions, women have basically invented the new male. Oh and the attention and sympathy they get.....
The new male is an accessory, like a handbag, sure it requires a little maintenance but on the whole another paycheck can be worth it...temporarily. Someone to fix the car and mow the lawn and co-sign on loans but when it comes to spending, look-out! That's a subject like fat. We know it's there but it's hell to get around. Don't make enough money and she'll rub it in your face in 1000 different ways but you have to sit and listen or take a walk. Some things require a good smack in the mouth. Some people go too far not knowing when to shut up. Unfortunately there is no recourse but divorce. And we all know it's cheaper to keep her.
If women get married for security and affection, guys get married for sex and food, in that order respectively. Ask yourself why women should get an ongoing stipend of "security" from the man and not be required to give up a comparable proportion of pie for the poor disenfranchised sap she's taking to the cleaners. Then at least it would be comparatively distasteful for both parties. Long has it been shown that women will crawl under many things for money. I say, call their bluff. Make them work for it like the other working girls. If she brings nothing, let her keep it. If she works for it, give her a suitable proportion. If she gave up her job for him following him all over creation... well let me give you the advice I got from one of my ex's when I told her that I had given up everything for her and built my life around her and assumed all her debt for consolidation under my own name,"You're not supposed to." She didn't stop me, but she didn't agree with it. It was ok for her, so there was no noise made. When it was done, she left. Ask me for sympathy. I can direct you to it, but you can't get there from here.
I say yes, restructure society and restore the balance of power. Make prostitution legal. I know it seems far fetched but it would solve quite a few problems and under no illusions would cause quite a few as well.
What I do think is likely to happen under the correct circumstances and management is:
1) Men as a general rule will have a legal, safe non-shameful way to get their pent up tension taken care of without being trapped in a dangerous "booty-call" arrangement that often turns into a baby-daddy arrangement. Either that or a "Sir, you have (fill in disease here).
2) Contrary to popular belief, while I wouldn't stick my face in there I don't think they are all suicidal. I think that many of the somewhat upscale hookers are definitely trying to ensure their continued success. Herpes, AIDS, Yeasties can all have detrimental effects on their earning ability. Obviously, if you pick yourself a five dollar crack whore, you have a greater chance of catching something really undesirable. The point I'm trying to make is, being hookers, they know about protection and will make sure you use it or pay an exorbitant premium. I'd take the condom thanks and a shower or two.
Consider this, most rapists and sexual assault perpetrators are low education, blue-collar or no job, single males, followed by married males. Give the single males a break. Some of them are right ugly or undesirable in some way. Don't they have the right to have their salads tossed? How can the government, many of whom have been caught with their hands in the cookie jar themselves(http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/afp/us_politics_newyork_governor_prostitution), legislate their celibacy?
Think about it for a moment,
...my friend here wants to get laid. So taking him to a club is a write off. Taking him to a really bad gay club is a write off too and that is tough. What to do, what to do. Well what we can say is that if he can control his urges, great! Wonderful and love and joy permeate the earth. However, if he can't, someone dies or gets irreversibly damaged but for our sensibilities. I submit to you that if he had a means of getting even the slightest piece of trim no matter how meager and minging, without rejection, he'd jump at it! Maybe even go so far as to get a job to support the habit. All good. Buy some teeth, even better.
I also beg your attention to my other friend here,
his new girlfriend, has been getting tighter and tighter with the cooch lately. For a while now she has been telling him everything that is wrong with him while changing into an emotional basketcase because her father has started beating his wife again and the dog died. All of a sudden, the cost/profit balance ( no I'm not equating sex with the entire experience, I use it like a canary in a coalmine) is all messed up. Like the old joke goes, a headache that lasts more than a week is a serious medical condition and should be treated as such.
My friend has some choices, limited though they may be. First, and most likely - he understands that he is no Brad Pitt. At this age and in this condition, if he kicks her to the curb, that is most likely it for his love life. N'est pas? If trollops are available life's not so bad, if not good, livable. What's likely to happen is, get hitched to the screaming banshee and hope that someday she slips and you get a glimpse up her skirt while she gathers her wits.
What to do, what to do. Since hookers aren't available, he does his best and finally hooks up with some ditch-pig, pin-cushion who will gift him with a dose of something vile and virulent to take home to his loving wife. Six painful weeks later they both have something awful, she gets the assets, he dies alone.
And the nonsense about it being nontaxable - licences and jail terms. Yes that would make the government pimps but it would save them a lot in unwanted babies and unwed mothers as well as keeping sexual offences down and lowering the disease incidence rate while creating jobs.
As I said, I don't want my daughter or yours doing it but reality must be honored if we are to make things right. It is the oldest profession for a reason, and no amount of arrests will take away the need for male sexual outlet. What it does do is promote ill-advised marriages and encourage the proliferation of kids having kids. Let your 19 year old son try to pull the "Don't worry I won't get you pregnant." line with a seasoned streetwalker. She'd send him home with his tail, dick, wallet and dignity between his legs. Sorted.
You may think I haven't considered it but common-sense says it isn't going away unless you start sewing peoples legs together and that makes it tough to hold down a regular job. All you would do is create a whole mess of "psychic friends". Legislate it, regulate it, tax it like a sin tax (sounds like a rap song) and stop your bullshit. Fix the problem from the stem. Everyone can sneak around or just let it go and get on with life.
Newsflash: any of us could die in the next moment, it is too bad we must make people pay eternally when they only learn incrementally. One bad decision and your whole life crumbles. It works both ways. If you are hooking, you are almost definitely making more than you would selling any other type of fish. If that is the trade off you have come to then so be it. Be informed, work with friends, don't get high, be careful, save your money, get an education and get the fuck out before it destroys you. Don't have kids while you are hooking, that's not fair. If you already have them and this is what you have to do, remember why you made that choice and get yourself up and out of it pronto. They deserve that much. You need to give them that chance.
Remember, when they have no other toys, kids will play with their genitals and put them together and then all the support in the world won't be able to stop them from making a life changing decision either way. Why not let them test drive some demo sportsters before investing in the family sedan and then the inevitable minivan (shudder). Give people a chance to find their soul mates by freeing them of the urgings of an incessant hormonal impetus. Allow them ways to manage the beast. With that done, better, decisions can be made. People could marry for love instead of fear.
People would be able to settle for what they actually want. Think about it! Less stalkers! If they are getting some, they won't be concerned with you. In fact no one might. That means you would have to get off the couch, put away the bon-bons and make an effort to please your man or he'd just leave and not look back at your sorry ass. The relationship would have another expiry date. Just before you become common-law. Times up, pack your shit, get out.
I know it sounds cold but reason should rule. Women mature faster and guys are stupid and gullible until about 35 years old. At that age they start dealing with reality regularly. Until that time they are vulnerable. If they make it to 35 either they will be BFL or find a really fulfilling relationship with someone they respect and enjoy.

Mcartney's Millions
AAAAAAhhhhhhhhhrrrrgg! Ok so now you know something is up. Ya well something went kinda right today even if the overwhelming vagority of it is still wrong. This story was told to me entirely second hand and so I may be even more wrong than usual. So what, I have to get some tension off my chest.
The Ex- Mrs Paul Mcartney just got hosed. She was offered 31.5 million or something to settle out of court and she said "No!" . Most likely because the court would definately give her more. Greedy bitch. So she got 48 Million. Far less than half. I am of two minds a) That glorified street whore got way more than she deserved. b) Ha ha, you didn't get half. (small comfort)
What could she have possibly done for him that amounted to even a 10th of the amount she got? Opportunist! Scam-artist. The bullshit thing is she got away with it anyway. Yes there should have been a prenup but we say the same thing about condoms. Look where that has gotten us.
Male sexuality has been so demonized that I cannot even hug my daughter close to me for fear that someone might somehow mistake my affection for molestation. I genuinely love my daughter and am glad for her everyday (well mostly). If I could I would squeeze her into my chest and protect her from all the worlds hurts. I would jump in front of a bus to save her life and no one would stop me but I have to feel hunted when I hold her.
Let's face it, when it comes to rape / sexual assault, men are usually the culprits. Now that women are in positions of power, that is all changing. The rash of teacher/ student abuses are going to be just the tip of the iceburg. We will soon see things start to even up a bit, not all that much but a little bit more. However, knowing that the male sex drive is sto strong, instead of managing it, we ignore it and expect no ramifications to come of it.
Listen, honestly, everyone knows that a rush of blood to a certain extremity often causes a perpetuation of irrational behavior. Hmm, seems kinda like PMS doesn't it? So why is it that you can walk away from murder with one but are held entirely responsible for the other? Bullshit, that's why. Some pencil-pushing, suspender-tugging, Viagara-popping, mealy-mouthed, limp-dick polititian, decided that women are the fairer sex. Bullshit again. Someone should inform them about gold-diggers( http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/capress/080317/entertainment/mccartney_mills) and black-widows(http://www.crimelibrary.com/criminal_mind/psychology/widows/1.html). Hell women are drowning their kids in rivers and shooting them at point blank range. Equal opportunity creates an environment where these things are now possible. Time to start judging things equally as well.
Guys have been told to stand up and be strong. Well it is being used against us and if we don't want to go down being strong and siledt we better start speaking up about all the inequities that we face. For instance, we should be able to control looking at women. Women dress up and put on makeup and wear revealing clothes to look good. it has been scientifically proven that people's eyes are drawn to beauty. Put those two irrefutable facts together and what you get is this. If you look good people, not just men will look. Fine. So if someone like say Brad Pitt is looking at a woman, up and down, unabashedly undressing her with his eyes, that's ok and welcome. Wonderful and the sky is full of love. Now, say someone else is looking, I.E. the office garbageman who doesn't happen to be as attractive as Mr. Pitt. He looks over at the same woman, gives her a cursory once over and moves on about his business. He...unlike Mr. Pitt, is a creep. He made her skin crawl and she is afraid he is going to do something. Mr. garbage-man has been canned, for sexual harrasment. Not so bloody far-fetched is it? Certainly not to him.
So what I'm really saying is that he had little control over what happened. Women get dressed up to look good and feed their ego's. Men look as a natural biological/societal response. Who has the responsibility? Let me put that another way. If I go down to Mexico with all my jewellry on, waving wads of cash in front of all and sundry, what do you think is going to happen? People are going to look. At the very least they will look. More than likely they will be lucky to find me in a ditch. Most people would say I earned myself a Darwin(http://darwinawards.com/). As soon as we start talking about sex though, everything gets turned upside down. Q) "What happened?" A) "Men are evil." How about that equality we were all talking about? Put the responsibility where it lays. Walk into a bank dressed like a robber, you can't complain when you get jumped...and charged! Walk around looking like a slut and men will treat you like one. So don't tell me about I should have the right to wear whatever I want. If that is so, I have the right to judge you by what you wear. And treat you like it too. Before you get all up in arms you frigging hypocrites, STFU - I don't see anyone opening doors for vagrants.
Back onto the topic.... Men, marry for sex. There, I said it. Ya ya all the lovey dovey stuff aside, men marry for pussy and women marry for love and security. Why is it that, when "the love has died" that (I know this may sound like a punch-line but I'm entirely serious), women get ongoing security, free to seek love elsewhere while getting paid, but the sex stops dead. What that means is I've got you r money honey, I'm giving it up to someone else, have fun in your little apartment with your hand. No wonder guys are scared of marriage. They know they're screwed but as the song says ...(http://www.smartlyrics.com/Song633374-AARON-LINES-Cheaper-To-Keep-Her-lyrics.aspx). Where do they win?
And that leads me to another related ininspired re-posting of an old topic..."Legalize it!"

Yahoo Canada - Bloody Cowards!
AAAAhhhhhhhhhrrrrggg. Ok, so now you know something is up. Yahoo is up! Or down as the case may actually be. I found myself a little niche leaving comments on different news stories on Yahoo Canada News a while ago and I thought what a great place to begin to understand some different viewpoints. You see I don't do chatrooms because they are never topic specific unless they are technical and I wasn't reading the tech news. I just wanted something general that I could throw my 2 cents into every once in a while. Well. It was bound to happen sooner or later. I ran into a racist. I tripped on him while reading something about Michael Jackson selling Neverland Ranch. Honestly, I was killing time and not terribly interested so I made the mistake of scrolling through the comments. Lo and behold I found the little bastard and he had written something like this (I'm paraphrasing the second comment):
Wow! what a surprise... a Negro with all the money inthe world goes broke..... Uncut_Bob POSTED WED, FEB 27, 2008 07:37 AM -0500
They (to their credit) completely removed VeinyCock who said something like "All those Knuckle dragging negroes want to do is steal and not work and pay no bills andcommit crimes."
Needless to say I became somewhat distressed. I tried restraint. I did actually surf away from the page only to be blinded by unreasoning anger. I now realize that it was completely off the original topic, actually validated his garbage and presented myself in a very un-Christian way. I couldn't help myself however and as I always have a spare can of vitriol lying around I let fly.
Please excuse the lack of coherence, I was angry and with the filters that Yahoo uses, it took about seven edits to get something through. I had no idea that beginning a sentence with the word "As" would be construed as being offensive. I have done nothing to edit it from the original post so here goes:
"Dear VeinlikeC*ck and Pls_c*tmythroatBob - ES&D. I'd loveto drag my fist across your head, and not pay any hospital bills for thumpin' yer a** and committing crimes like stealing your ugly wives and mothers and setting them up as a beytches for my dog to use. True I might have to get him drunk and blindfold him first but we negroes (Yahoo wouldn't let you say *igg*r would they?) do have all kinds of time on our hands not working, while somehow managing to get blamed for taking all the jobs. I'm no pacifist when it comes to unwarranted attacks. How about you ask someone with some sense to help you out before you decide to open your mouth. It will save you much embarrasment and confusion later. I would have said shame but it is apparent that you have none as it is a higher brain function that requires introspection and honesty. I'll try to explain it to you in terms you understand. Be quiet idi*t. You have no idea what you are talking about. Please, die a horrible, screaming death alone in some sicko's basement. Visit some relatives, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree so there are bound to be quite a few psycopaths ready to drop out of your closet at the slightest provocation. Conversly, you could ignore this and just go back to s*rewing your sisters you in-br*d, hill-billy, drains on society. You two are shining examples of the reasons abortion is legal and we have to have laws against inc*st. The gene-pool needs lots of chlorine. Not just to get rid of you but also to disinfect the stinking morass your passing will have left behind. I now understand why people say it takes all kinds to make the world go around. If it weren't for you I'd have nothing to wipe off of the bottom of my shoe. "
I realize that they were probably just trying to have something to say and didn't consider that it might have to be intelligent to be worth sharing but if you jump off a bridge, you can't honestly be surprised that it will hurt. If you are lucky you will die quickly. That is all you can really ask for IMHO.
About 15 mins after this exchange, I realized that no news pages on Yahoo would open for me. I shut down first my browser and then my entire stack and nothing. No news , No comments No Nothing! After repeated attempts I temporarily threw in the towel. I was blocked. Fair? Maybe. Honestly I don't think so. But I will go with it. Heck, I don' t have a choice do I? ;-)
At any rate I logged back in later and noticed that although I could now access the news, i couldn't actually publish a comment. Ok, that was a compromise and I guess a worthy one. I can handle that. I really didn't help the forum out and I was somewhat abusive which is not generally my nature. I'll attack ideas and structures with abandon but personal attacks have to be earned. I believe he earned it. He got it anyway.
One day later, much to my chagrin, I find that they have removed the comments altogether!
How craven! The only reason left for it's existence and they have abandoned it without a fight.
Why do I need to go there now? News - Google, Reuters, CNN, Fox, El-Jazeera & various blogs. Search - Google (hands down), Mail - Gmail / Hotmail. Remind me again why I need them? So this is my official first announcement of my abandonment of all my Yahoo mail acccounts. If I like you, or think you have something to say, you'll get a message. If not, you're spam and they can kep you for as long as they wish.
Sayonara Yahoo. It's been a good run but in the end you came up short and it's your own fault.
I can't find a reason to stay so you can keep your impotent news articles. By the time you got them they weren't news but at least you let us comment on it. Now I see that looking at your webpages, without a purpose makes me irritable. So long. Best of luck.

Hardware Support Courtesy of AMD / ATI
AAAAhhhhhhhhhrrrrggg. Ok, so now you know something is up. Yes, my computer might as well be up in smoke. You see I bought A new computer at a Boxing Day sale. Yes I finally broke down and bought it. I figured I didn't need to spend so much time tweaking and modifying and boosting and bypassing/ disabling things so that my old PIII 500 -(OC'd stable no Xtra cooling 3 years at 1Ghz) could kinda keep up with the big boys. I just wanted something to work.
You see what I wanted do was to save up the money and pay cash, part by part to build myself my own little Uber-Computer. I wanted the best of everything. Crazy memory, massive hard drives, unparalelled connectivity and a stereo that would embarass some of those bass-tubes you see scraping their bottoms down the road covered in duct-tape, bondo and primer. Due to my lack of ability to save anything but myself from the "Perils of wealth and affluence", it was off to the good old Future-Shop with the good ole maxxed out credit-card. Yeah baby! I was a sucker waiting for a mouth. I looked and searched and dug and fought to get the best off-the-shelf "solution" to my problems. "Oh gee sir, that one is sold out but.." they would start and I would say "No! I won't be oversold on things I don't need and won't use." I turned my back and stormed out in a perfectly indignant, definately offended manner. After about 5 hours of searching I slunk back into Future-Shop with my head hung low. I did however make sure that I was not at the original location. I didn't need to see that self-satisfied smirk. The model that I had shunned before was the only one left in my price range that had most of the features I wanted and it was an Acer which may be ok but the Hewlett I could have gotten might have served me much better IMHO. With a worried look, I broke out the card and the vaseline handing him the business end of my undoing. Just as he had rung up the last item he said "Oh, I almost forgot, are you going to be playing any games?" My heart sank and my stomach clenched. I forgot all about the video card. Now I had some limited experience with video cards and in particular Nvidia. My Winfast Ge-Force 3 Titanium 200 (purchased used for $30) had been a reliable source of problems since it's installation which no amount of re-installing or driver upgrading could conquer. It did work though. Sometimes a-w-f-u-l-l-y slowly but it didn't actually crash that much. He said "Hey! we have this new ATI Card the HD2600 it has DDR3 that is even faster than DDR2." The hook was already set when he said, "It's on sale." He didn't need to insult me with "Look, it's the last one." He just didn't need to go that far. I should have known. Mea culpa. I am rending my t-shirt and gnashing my teeth as we speak. SO he piled it on and I walked out the happy sap hoping that the guys in the back of the shop were just chuckling, not rolling around holding their bellies, crying with mirth at my expense. Long story kind of shortened, It is now February and despite much frustration; tweaking and re-installing and using the options the video card for no apparent rhyme or reason occasionally resets in the middle of a game. Oh and ATI Video-Cards DO NOT LIKE Linux .That is for all the people like me who didn't check first. I hope U find Out before you buy. I'm using open suse but I wanted Ubuntu. I play Project-Torque and am trying to play Last Chaos on Aeriagames - I have to plug them because they let anyone play unlimited time for free. If you don't need to sleep you can still play! It's great. Back the issues. When I was playing Project-TOrque, it didn't bother me so much I'd lose about 5 seconds when it happened but as I still got my points, I couldn't care less. Last Chaos however is another story. In the game I have a Guardian who agreed to help me until I levelled up. Very generous person and I am In his debt. (Thanks TheDark. UR Awsome. Calico) However, whenever I play, Poof reset and black screen. Ctrl-Alt-Del and start again. So he, effectively has helped someone who cannot play. I've wasted his time and money. (I'm so sorry dude.)
Countless hours of searching led me to this:
http://support.ati.com/ics/support/KBAnswer.asp?questionID=28927
I don't know if I have the right to do that here but they asked how I rated the answer, so I wrote:
"Useful information. Walk in to the C.E.O. with this. To think, I actually paid you to pay someone to type this. Webspace is actually reserved for this answer. I am ashamed for you. If I had looked at this answer first I would never have purchased your product. I see that I am "stuck" with a shoddily supported "brick". This answer is insulting as it serves to illustrate just how much your customers mean to you. I am offended that you didn't take the tome to formulate some sort of answer. I am soon to purchase a new card to replace the ATI card that doesn't work and this flippant disregard for your customers will be paramount when making my decision. The drivel you have tried to unload upon me fills me with disgust. I can't believe the audacity of actually giving someone the opportunity to rate this answer. Thats like a "How's my driving?" bumper-sticker on a drunkard's car. The card being broken is oddly not as bothersome as the cavalier attitude this garbage conveys. Next time save the space."
Was that too much? I don't think it was enough. Picture yourself with a brand new computer / video card that doesn't work properly getting this type of answer from the company that MANUFACTURED it. So here I am, AAAAAHHHHHRRRRRggghh! Crying and gnashing my teeth over my own stupidity.
Any help would be much appreciated. People who bought Nvidia cards to begin with, there will be no gloating. O.K. I'll allow minimal gloating but no "Bwahahaha"'s. I'm not for that.
CUL8R (Shout out to Mark (Scarface) from Centennial) ;-)
Did I mention that I got Vista HOME already burned into the drive and can't remove it because it will void the warranty? AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHH!!!

This answer is insulting as it serves to illustrate just how much your customers mean to you. I am offended that you didn't take the tome to formulate some sort of answer. I am soon to purchase a new card to replace the ATI card that doesn't work and this flippant disregard for your customers will be paramount when making my decision. The drivel you have tried to unload upon me fills me with disgust. I can't believe the audacity of actually giving someone the opportunity to rate this answer. Thats like a "How's my driving?" bumper-sticker on a drunkard's car. The card being broken is oddly not as bothersome as the cavalier attitude this garbage conveys. Next time save the space."
Was that too much? I don't think it was enough. Picture yourself with a brand new computer / video card that doesn't work properly getting this type of answer from the company that MANUFACTURED it. So here I am, AAAAAHHHHHRRRRRggghh! Crying and gnashing my teeth over my own stupidity.
Any help would be much appreciated. People who bought Nvidia cards to begin with, there will be no gloating. O.K. I'll allow minimal gloating but no "Bwahahaha"'s. I'm not for that.

Did I mention that I got Vista HOME already burned into the drive and can't remove it because it will void the warranty? AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHH!!!
