I've got my dads PC that is infected with virueses etc and has been running slow for ages now. I've taken everything off that he needs and am ready to create a new partition and reload everything back on. But when i boot from a XP Home CD I have (I'll be using the Genuine XP Key on the case), it starts analysing hardware but then just reboots, asking me to press any key t boot from CD again?? Whats going on? I've even tried a freshly formatted (in NTFS) HD in there, in case the original is currupted in some way but this time an error appears before rebooting stating "NTCongif" is missing. Any help or suggestions appreciated. before you ask the compnay that my Dad got this PC off did not give him any CD's.... not even the OS CD. I'm not too bothered about this because most drivers etc can be downloaded from packard bells site. The PC in question is.... http://support.packardbell.com/uk/item/index.php?pn=P480402601&g=2000

I've seen it pretty often lately, and I really don't understand what it means. Here's the latest one I've seen
'"Consider, too, the Health Jolting Chair of the 1880s. It resembled a garden-variety armchair--only rigged with springs and levers. Its advertising promised that the chair would give "efficient exercise to the essentially important nutritive organs of the body."
According to the manufacturer, all that jiggling and jolting was essential for "millions of human beings who may be living sedentary lives through choice or necessity." The chair was, "For certain classes of invalids a veritable Treasure-Trove." [sic]"

Also, if you could, explain what it means when someone puts something in these brackets [ ] when quoting someone else when the person obviously didn't say what's in brackets?

I must've missed that day of English class, becuase the brackets make no sense to me.

In one episode, Ed's high school friend expires and they have a funeral service for him. This guy had been in a band with Ed and 2 other guys. They sing a song from that band which goes like "She's a bit_ch but i love her, life's a bit*ch but i love her, crazy bit^ch... "

Can anyone please find me the lyrics and the singer's name or the song itself? Please?

According to reports surfacing in the mainstream media, some people want to question the veracity of the HOLOCAUST that 'israel' is conducting against the Lebanese and Palestinian people. It has become painfully clear that 'holocaust' and 'Semite' are words confined to interpretation by zionists and their representatives. But who wants to listen to people that perpetrate death, destruction, and oppression? Not to mention racism, hate, and perpetual lies.
The British web site flinging the accusation suggests that these events were staged for effect, a criticism echoed by talk show host Rush Limbaugh when he directed listeners to the blog on Monday.

It's like you dont have to have talent anymore or something. All of the record execs are looking for the least amount of talent possible and the dirtiest looking people they can find to give a record deal to. What's the deal? I hate it!

OK! my bf and i have been together for a long time...we plan on getting married kids the whole 9 yards...but he's VERY VERY protective of me. I have always been abused thruout my life physicaly and mentally and i keep gettin this feeling that our relationship will end up not working because of my past. I want this to work so bad but idk if he can handle everything that's happened to me. He has always been there for me but everytime he finds out about sumthing that's happend he gets that much more protective and we've almost broke up like twice and everytime he tells me he can't live w/out me and that he'll die if i leave him and that ya know. idw to hurt him but i feel like the only way he can be truly happy is w/out me there. Idw to screw up his life by putting my problems on him. I'm a very independent person and i hate taling about my problems i really do but i feel like i have nowhere else to go..so i guess just leave as much detail in ur answeres as possible and i thank you alot!
