I am embarrassed for you. With yesterday's comments defending blackface and whining about "sensitivity", I was starting to wonder if this board had become dominated by racists. Today I am wondering if I should switch my homepage.
The transition of opinion at this little nook of cyberspace from a year or two ago is remarkable.

| There doesn't appear to be any services regulating audio stuff, Microsoft or not. Maybe that's a Vista thing. My sound card is a Realk HDAudio AC882 I think. |

Odd computer problem |

I have a strange computer problem that I thought you guys might be able to help me out with.
I've got a Asus whitebook laptop running Windows XP Professional and as of last night, whenever I plug the pair of desktop speakers I have into the headphone jack, the laptop speakers still play. The desktop speakers play (so the jack appears to be working) but the laptop speakers stay on, too, even if I turn down the physical volume knob on the desktop speakers to zero. I tried with a set of headphones and the same thing happened -- headphones work, but sound still comes through the laptop speakers -- they just won't mute. I haven't really done anything to the computer, driver-wise so I don't know what's up.
Hope it's not a hardware problem. I would hate to have it serviced for something so small.

Other than First Ave. here in Minneapolis, I don't know of many places that have had so much history - they are either dead or dying establishments. First Ave is a pretty good venue.  |

Karl Rove said today his resignation as President Bush's senior political adviser was not forced. Rove said he will leave his post at the end of August. He said the first thing he'll do after leaving the White House is "go dove hunting in West Texas." First thought: is he going to shoot someone too? |

Know person(s) B in virtually every post they make talk about conservative this and conservative that, and how conservatives are evil, yadda yadda yadda; seriously, virtually every post they make. It gets boring and old. Not like calling everybody tards, that never gets boring and old! Enahs, are you drunk? I never post here anymore. I've probably logged about 10 posts in the last year or so. Maybe fewer.
That, and I didn't really make a value judgment at all on conservativism. I just noted that the political dialog here has become less impassioned, more passive, and seemingly more conservative.
I believe logicians and philosophers call this line of argumentation the "straw man fallacy". 
Also, notice the little wink smiley. I'm usually fairly tongue-in-cheek, even when I'm serious.

28 weeks was fine for action but a real sore in the brain. The overarching and weak "family ties" subplot was absolutely no help to the movie and far too forced. I missed the symbolism and commentary on human nature from the first film. The whole way the infection gets into the green zone is also a little too convenient for my liking. I totally, totally agree. I really liked the first, but was not a huge fan of the second.
That is what I hated about the first movie. It was so lame, pathetic, anti-capitalism's semi hippie crap the white man is evil. To much. I mean, it would have been ok, but first they did that crap with how the whole situation happened, and then they did the same crap with how the people lived. Start of the movie "the white man is evil", middle of the movie "ahh shit run" end of the movie "white man is evil". Sometimes I really wonder about you.
Another thing: when did this place get so conservative? I remember the good ole days of people trying to temper Halsy's political rants. Now, I come here and read about squirrel shootings, construction projects and the weather.  |

I really liked 28 Days Later and I don't even like horror movies. 28 Weeks Later looks like it could be interesting. It has that same gritty, overexposed visual style and the virus/contagion thing going on, both of which are big pluses in my book.
Hopefully the Bourne movie will be good. The other two were reasonable.
Hot Fuzz looks really really good. Shaun of the Dead was absolutely awesome. Maybe I'll go see it soon.
I've never cared for the Spiderman movies, despite loving the cartoon when I was a kid. Hmmph.
On the topic of movies: did anyone see Children of Men? That is a really excellent movie. It was kind of a sleeper. Go see (rent?) it if you haven't seen it.

| Damn, you're gonna be a cop in Minneapolis? I'd better watch myself when I'm on the west side of the river. I'm at Macalester College, over in Saint Paul -- not sure if I ever told you or not. |
