Um Not?

So XP SP3 and Vista SP1 are finally out. Having one Vista box and numerous XP boxes to update, I downloaded the full SP3 in ISO file format for burning to CD for all the XP machines. This of course lead me on a hunt for an ISO burner since Vista doesn't come with one. That's when I found this. Sounds great; a free CD/DVD burner software, until I read one of their other freeware offerings was, "Subliminal Blaster" Here's what some of that page says, "However the subconscious mind absorbs EVERY SINGLE MESSAGE... and uses each one to change your thought patterns, your behaviours, even your body!"

I decided against getting the their burner freeware, since I have no idea if it would be telling me to send them $50 each month!

(BTW, for those that don't know, subliminal messaging doesn't actually work.)

More Bad Cops

Here we go again with cops using their job, adrenaline, and such as an excuse for beating civilians. So if these cops get off with this, does that mean the rest of us can say we were stressed at our jobs and go forth and commit crimes of violence against others? Of course not. So if cops can't control themselves, they need to find another job! These cops need to face the same laws the rest of us face. It is time we stop thinking of cops as some sort of special elite class that do not have to answer to the same laws the rest of us do.

Too Busy

Too Busy to post in the past few days, setting up a new 'puter and all, but things should get back to normal in the next day or so.
