    Evolution is Wrong...interesting video

    You are right, it cannot be ruled out. But something with such a defniitely effect should be pretty easy to justify. Find a telepath and let them tell me what I (or any test subject) is thinking. Has yet to be done under laboratory (or any verifiable) conditions, whereas quantum mechanics...

    The superbowl

    The French have a national anthem? I thought they surrendered that as well. No Col, Yellow Rose of Texas replaced Hail to the Chief while George Bush II was in office. Easy mistake to make though.

    What's your best/worst joke?

    A couple was delighted when finally their long wait to adopt a baby came to an end. The adoption centre called and told them they had a wonderful Japanese baby boy, and the couple took him without hesitation. On the way home from the adoption centre, they stopped by the local college so they...

    The superbowl

    Oh, and that awful blonde woman was Christina Agulleria and I have no idea what the awful song was. Usually someone attempts to sing the National Anthem of the United States in that particular time slot, but I am sure that is not what she was singing. At least, I hope that is not what she was...

    The superbowl

    No sir. The Super Bowl is not a "world series". It is merely mock war between two groups of overpaid performers whose job is to attempt to inflict injury and stage subpar dances while chasing an ovoid ball around a field. No, wait. That's rugby. Never mind.

    FE, BE, and Website....

    Well, no... an Access frontend is a desktop application and, as such, needs some type of network connection to the database, whether it be VPN, IP, or whatever. Frontpage was a design application that offered a way to transfer files back and forth over HTTP. If you want to use a Web...

    FE, BE, and Website....

    I am not going to address how to use a SQL Server for an Access back end. That is addressed here in many places. What I think you are really asking is "How can I access a SQL Server database through HTTP using Access?". If that is truly your question then the answer is, you cannot. It does...

    Socialized medicine vs Insurance-based Health Care

    From the experiences of a couple of acquaintances, you will be treated but they will send you a bill, which you can then forward to your insurance company (if any). But you are ultimately responsible for the bill, just like you are here in the US.

    Complexity of United States tax code

    Bravo for you, Thales. I could not have said it better. The growing wealth of the ultra-rich is rapidly creating a vacuum in our society as the wealth is sucked upward into these rarified strata. No much can come from the poor as they have already been sucked dry, so it now must come from the...

    Complexity of United States tax code

    The problem with this system (and almost any other long-standing system you can name) is that we will never replace the old with new. It will simply take too many resources and too much time. Yes, in the long run it costs much more to maintain and patch the old, but the upfront costs of...

    Separation of Church and State

    It is not the first time the Constitution has been reinterpreted to fit the times. Teddy Roosevelt was known as the Trust Buster. When he was questioned as to the constitutionality of his actions, he addressed this in his first State of the Union speech: "When the Constitution was adopted at...

    Oh my lord! Can I go back and totally change that original post? That is a result that was never intended! :D:rolleyes::)

    Complexity of United States tax code

    Now THAT'S a good one! Isn't it amazing the reaction you get when they discover that you know the tenets of their religion better than they do? Insane, it might interest you to know that when I was a young man I thought of going into the ministry. I was what was known as a "Jesus Freak" in...

    Complexity of United States tax code

    Insane: since I am not a Christian, I can judge whoever I choose. But since you claim you are a Christian, you should stick to the tenets of your faith, unless you are one of those sho merely pick and choose which parts to follow. Or it might just be you have totally forgotten all the...

    Complexity of United States tax code

    So what makes you different than those the colonists overthrew, who had the "divine right" to be rich? Or the despots, emperors, tyrants, etc who thought it was their "right" to be rich and powerful at the expense of the rest of the population? You claimed to be a Christian and yet you side...

    Socialized medicine vs Insurance-based Health Care

    What are the faults you see in teh NHS? I truly want to learn the good and bad. All we hear in the US is how bad Nationalized Health Care is in other countries and why we don't want it. I fear that is mostly spin and I want the truth from people who have to live with those systems daily.

    Complexity of United States tax code

    Insane, you make it sound as if it is simple to CHANGE WHAT YOU DO TO EARN MORE, as if you could walk into the corner convenience store and pick up a job that makes a lot of money. Pure balderdash! The "system" has evolved to such a point where it is rigged so that the rich get richer and the...

    Socialized medicine vs Insurance-based Health Care

    We have all heard the hype and rants about the new U.S. socialized insurance-based health care (the so-called Obama-care). Now I would like to hear the FACTS, and not the spins, about socialized health care in other countries, such as the UK, Ireland, Australia, Canada and anywhere else that...

    Why does my database appear blank for another user?

    I may be totally wrong on this one, but I have only seen the secure content message when something is being accessed via the web. How is she trying to connect to the MDB file? Does she have Access installed? What does her "empty" database look like? Are there tables? If there are tables...

    Complexity of United States tax code

    I have to point out the fallacy in the idea that the poor are lazy. Yes, there is a segment that thinks the world owes them a living and will do nothing for their dole. No doubt about it. But the numbers of the "working poor" are far greater. And there is no doubt in my mind that these...
