How to stop Vista hard drive thrashing

by Elsewhere in

jw
friends

ever notice vista thrashing the hard drive like there's no tomorrow for no apparent reason?

ever notice how vista will do this forever and without end?

every try to get work done but vista is too busy thrashing the hard drive and sucking up precious resources causing the system to slow down so much that you can't get anything done?.

Holy crap, I can't believe how many people still use Microsoft OSes.

I moved over to Linux and installed 2G of RAM into my machine. It's gotta be the quietest OS I've ever used (besides DOS). The hard drive barely makes any noise, and I can't even tell the computer's running. It took some time getting used to that.

Oh yeah, and apps load 10x faster. I will NEVER go back to Microsoft.

What are the greatest evidences that the deluge never happened?

How did Noah know that the water had covered the entire earth? Did God actually tell him it did?

This comes from the time when people thought the world was flat. In other words, they didn't know other parts of the world existed. So, how would they know that other parts of the world were covered in water? I agree that there may have been a flood in Noah's immediate area, but not covering the entire earth.

Also, did Noah travel to the north to get two Polar bears for the ark? Did he goto Australia to get two Koala bears and two Kangaroos to bring into the ark? What did everyone (including the animals) eat on the ark? Did he have a shovel to remove all the animal shit he was drowning in?

There's just no way it could have happened.

all right, now that we're talking about movies again, let's turn each other on to some of these:the best movie you thought you'd hatemine are: perfect blue my first exposure to intelligent anime.

come to think of it, this is definitely a "best weird movie," too.fight club i'd been avoiding it for years because of the violence.the truman show i mean, jim carrey's mugging plus cliched preachments.

well, that's what it could have been.basquiat a depressing ending to a story of mixed accomplishment and really bad judgement, complicated by mental illness but the scene where he hallucinates a work of art he has just designed, and smiles it explains so much.

I don't hate her anymore. We were both kinda young and stupid at the time.

Had a dream that I sang Journey's Seperate Ways to her at a Karaoke bar. After that, I actually did perform it at Karaoke and did a really good job at it, but she wasn't in the audience. Perhaps if I run into her at a Karaoke bar one day, I'll perform it again

i've been using google's chrome browser for about 4 months now and love it.

i love it mainly because it's simple and so fast compared with ie7.

i know there are a lot of browsers that are better than ie7, but this thread is not about which is the best browser.. i'm curious to find out what others think vis a vis ie7 vs. chrome.

This is entirely off topic, but I love how Farkel's IP icon looks like a backwards swastika

- "Opera should pack it in now and go home IMO"

I hate you Simon.

j/k :)

I love my Opera. I've loved Opera ever since I was running Windows 95. It's the most stable browser I've ever used.

I tried Google Chrome when it first came out. It's probably just as fast as Opera, but more crashy. Chrome's best feature is having individual tabs crash instead of the entire browser. But I'm still happier with Opera.

I've tried Firefox on and off for a while now. The browser is slower than Opera, and the newest version has been quite crashy for me.

I only used IE for this site. Now that Simon's re-doing it, I can stick with my beloved Opera 100% of the time :)

Is OBEDIENCE a dirty word to you?

by caliber in

many ex-jw's bristle to heard the word obedience.. is obedience love or legalism ?.

websters defines "obey" as "to comply with or be submissive to authority.

" theres a definition crying to be disliked.

OBEDIENCE PROTECTS YOU

This was the name of a chapter in the old pink Great Teacher book. I was forced to go over it many times when I didn't listen. I hate that word and that phrase.

If I were to describe how that word makes me feel, all I have to do is change the spelling:

oBEATience

Usually, reviewing that chapter in the Great Teacher book followed a beating.

It's funny, the word "obey" itself doesn't bother me. When it's put into the phrase "obey Jehovah God" then I have problems with it.
