cool more time for you to work on my turns

All ready done my friend, it was done as soon as I brought up my computer. Your turns (WPO) are quick and easy. They generally take about five minutes. It's Simon's and Onime's (especially his) that take a while.

yeah it appears the war is on hold as we both rebiuld our fleets and i await your invasions.

Of course if you are as bored as I am , you could always accept my surrender and we could start over? You've got to admit that the first 30 turns were very intense...

I want to go another couple of months i have a suprise planned then we can start over

Congrats, Mike!

In WitP related trivia, during the battle of the Surigao Strait, USS Columbia fired 1,147 rounds from her 12 6-inch guns in 18 minutes, or 1 round every second.

Which one? Most "Mexican" restaurants around here are really Texmex. There are a few notable exceptions.

A lot of the places around here offer both Mexican and Tex-Mex. Some of my favorites are the Tex-Mex variety...like fajitas.

Microsoft's AntiSpyware Tool Removes Internet Explorer

By Brian Briggs

Many Microsoft Windows users who downloaded the recently released AntiSpyware program from Microsoft, or had it installed through an automatic Windows update, woke up to a surprise. Unintentionally, the heuristics of the software detected Internet Explorer as spyware, and removed the program from their systems.

AntiSpywareMicrosoft has pulled the program from its website until the problem can be corrected. Elias Weatherbee, a Microsoft representative, said the program was "only in beta" and that "a fix was forthcoming."

"It shows how powerful our AntiSpyware program is," said Weatherbee. "Not only is it able to remove spyware from the system, but also the source of most spyware. Our competitors can't match that."

A representative from Lavasoft, which sells Ad-Aware another spyware removal program, complained that Microsoft was using its monopoly and knowledge of the operating system to "offer features that others can't match."

"Tough ****," said Weatherbee.

Many computer users did not view this new "feature" positively. "I tried to check the weather this morning and all my little blue 'e' icons were missing. I couldn't get to the Internet at all. I guess I'll have to get a new computer," said Windows XP user Graham Newton.

Users of alternative browsers were happy to see Internet Explorer gone. Thad Freeman of the Mozilla Users Group said, "I've been trying for years to get rid of Internet Explorer. I never imagined that Microsoft would do it for me. I'm ecstatic."

Microsoft technical support was advising customers to reinstall Windows to regain Internet access and to disable automatic updates.

Symantec Antivirus Research reported that virus sightings were down by 95% this morning.

Dos Taquitos, over here in North Raleigh. They are actually "authentic" Honduran food.

Great sangria, too.

I'm off to watch "The Bucket List" with my lovely bride now. Good night, all.

Ah, another entry for my list of "Matrix fora oxymorons."

Have a good time. Give us a review, willya? Jack and Morgan seem to me like they've seen better days - and vehicles. I've been wanting to like a new Nicholson movie for a long time, without success.

Move the first letter to the end, then read the words backwards.

This is an oldie, boys, accounting (I think, though no disparagement of poster or responder intended) for the quick solution. I used to use it 'way back in my high school English teaching days ... and I don't want to say that was a long time ago, but Middle English hadn't even been invented yet ...

They also have at least 2 sets of "double" letters:

i.e.: Banana - 2 n's and (at least) 2 a's
Dresser - 2 ss's, 2 e's (and 2 r's)
etc.
Assess - 2 sets of double S's...

Of course, i guess this is why the trick works...

Yeah, this whole forum is a "tough crowd"...for what it's worth I could have worked on that for 30 hours and probably not gotten it.

Then again, my brain is already worn out. I was working on our time library today and I've neve seen so many scales, forms, epochs and standards.

No sooner did I think I had it figured out then someone asked me "well what would a user want."
