long story but a couple of months ago i broke up with my boyfriend.

i am giving him back his computer (i have my own)but used his pretty often.

my question is how do i clean it up so that he can not get to my email addresses, favorite sites, old email etc.

Xanders on the money; de-frag once.

You can search for .pst (for Outlook) by clicking on <Start>, <Find>, <Files and Folders>, type in '*.pst' (not the ''s), hit <Find NOw>

For Outlook Express click on <Tools>, <Options>, Choose the tab at the top with <Maintenance> on it, and click on the button <Store Folder>. Write down where it is, go to it, delete its contents.

Delete anything else personal, like the folders I listed earlier.

Then do the de-frag.

This gets a 7.5 on the 1-10 scale of getting rid of data, where 8 is recoverable by someone very good with special software, 9 is better than that, and 10 is a volcano... as I say, if you want to be very sure, go to DOS, type in format C:, and lie to him... guys believe the most stupid things about women and machines, as most think you need testicles to type into a computer!

Oh, it you have ICQ or anything like that, delete (uninstall it), as otherwise he'll have access to that stuff.

Good luck

Question for Atheists

by RWC in

christians who believe in the bible and the teachings of christ use that as a moral core and code of conduct.

for those who don't believe in god, where do you get your sense of moral right and wrong?

what is your moral foundation?

I love statistics; lets do what newspapers do, every day, make headlines out of nothing...

Buddhists; the religion most likely to make you single!!
(highest % of single people)

Church of God; marry one and die!
(highest % of widow/s/ers

Pentecostals; marry one, but not for long!
(highest % divorced, seperated)

Single and want more sex? Then quit your religion, or just don't bother going to church!
(no religion and non-denoms most likely to co-habit)

Muslims; what do they do right we don't when selcting a marriage mate?
(highest cumulative % of widows and divorces lowest)

Born-Agains most likely to be married (to each other PRAISE THE LORD!)
(highest % married)

Is it a personal attack when someone stops making a personal attack whilst obviously still making their point?

gravedancer; that's easy; the religion with the better, badder god wins. It gets a bit confusing when it's a war between people from the same religion...

SAVE ROE NOW!!!

dear friends of reproductive freedom,.

george w bush and his right-wings friends are quietly pursuing their domestic agenda while the nations attention is focused on international terrorism.. bush's attacks on women's reproductive freedom continue.. examples;.

1. on his first day in the oval office,bush re-instated the global gag rule,which takes family planning funds from organizations that even mention the option of abortion to their patients,risking womens lives overseas.. 2. bush has promised to re-visit the food and drug administration's approval of ru-486.and anti-abortion forces in congress have already introduced a bill to limit it's availability.. 3. with the expected retirement of 3 supreme court justices ,including sandra day o'connor,who is often the critical swing vote on abortion rights issue,bush has made it clear that he will nominate the most adamant opponents of abortion and civil rights.. the bush administration is committed to strategies that limit life saving stem cell research,criminalize abortion providers,reduce the availability of birth control and deny funding of health reproduction education in the schools.. what better way to take on the christian coalition and ultra-right leaders and movements,than to use your voice to speak up now!!.

target; you just implied that an implication was made that all abortions were early term. Where was this implication? In the post directly before your I specifically mention early term. And fetus is the correct term up to birth, from about 10 weeks (from memory, might be wrong). And will you critisize anti-choicers for using partial-birth abortions to head-up their campaigns when such things are rare?

You're welcome to state your opinions, but there's some points rhetts been asked to answer, as he JUST states his opinion again and again, which you're welcome to address if you want a discussion.

Animal rights? Me and my girlfriend were watching a program the other day where some animals had been 'liberated'... we both figured a good punishment for that would be community service, working in a hospice for the children who are suffering from the disease those specific animals were being researched for. That's just our opinion.

What do I mean? Animals obviously have rights, but I would stick electrodes in a hundred million puppies if it would help cure a disease like cystic fibrosis, MS, CJD, etc..

If the testing is for make-up, et. al., then I agree it's totally wrong.

And why this? " I guess there is no hope for me. I can't be reasoned with."

Is that a plea for sympathy in a discussion... oh, I can't debate the facts, I'll make fun out of myself by way of being sarcastic towards those I disagree with?

You're welcome to think what you want. The law is based on facts. Disprove those facts. See question 1/ to rhett as a starting point.

If you can't disprove the facts law is based on, then elect a government that will put laws based on opinion in place... and hope you get the opportunity to live to regret it...

The average age after 73 results (including the 70, the twice 29 (as 58, and the other ones funny ones) is 38.86. Here's the number if anyone wants to get funky with Standard Deviation (I say, if you're gonna be diviant, why be standard?), but I think the most common age is 36, which is the same as my age (god, I'm common...) , there's two 18 year-olds (whoo-hoo) and the oldest is a 63 year-old, unless the 70 is for real...

For the first time I've had to get another name; but I think I can't be accused of duplicity with this...

RWC;"But I would not agree that our morals are better now than in the past in the same respect you claim. For example, in the U.S. the divorce rate is now one in three in secular marriages."

Yup, which means that you don't have people pretending to be together in just plain wrong marriages, abusive marriages, marriages with sexually incontinent partners.

I think that broken marriages being allowed is better than fake marriages being common. My opinion, obviously.

"However, marriages that are Christian based where the coouple attend church reqularly, study the Bible, and actively pray, the divorce rate is one in a thousand."

Errrr, I have no doubt you believe those statistics, as I think you are utterly genuine. But [b]I[/u] would like a source please, and I would like to see the amount of 'self-selection' that the survey allows.

There's a famous story of a newspaper that polled its reader over who would win the elction, and got it exactly wrong, as obviously, the paper had a certain political bias, and was read by people with that bias, and who would vote a certain way. How do you determine whetehr the people polled actaully do "attend church reqularly, study the Bible, and actively pray"

The statistic you gave for secular marriages is wrong, by the way. For ALL marriages accross the USA, it is now over 50% (from memory).

It's good you realise that other religions have their own moral code. The fact that it is soceity, as in people living together, which creates a moral code, rather than a religion that creates a moral code is nicely proven by the areas of agreement of various religions moral codes. Details differ, big things are the same.

And you still talk of "individual moral beliefs" as if this were unique to athiest. Both religious people and athiestic people have "individual moral beliefs"... apart from cults where you are not allowed to use your conscience..., and in both cases they are reflections of the culture of that person, individual, but consonant.

The pointless of differentiating between secular laws and religious laws is demonstrated by this staement of yours;

"Laws and tangible harm are are good start, but people can act immorally without breaking any laws or causing tangible harm."

Oh yes they can; but 'immoral' is just "against religious law", in the context you use it, so if you state it more carefully, people act 'immorally' when they break religous laws... but that DOESN'T stop them breaking them!

And, you are right, everyone is biased. It's only dangerous when you stop being aware of it.

Thanks for your best wishes regarding my redundancy; praying for me is a little like cooking ice-cream, but it's nice of you.
