I picked up a new computer a few weeks ago and I was looking forward to playing a few games on it. It's a Dell Dimension E521 with Vista, 2 GB of RAM, an Athlon X2 4000+ processor, an nVidia 8500 GT 256 MB graphics card, and a 22in LCD monitor. Sounded OK to me especially for $750ish...but I picked up GTA San Andreas and it runs really choppy on it. My computer specs seem to be much higher than the game suggests to. Is the 8500 just a crappy card? It should be able to play 2 year old games you'd think.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Or a similar job? I LOVE every single animal, but I was not sure if I needed to go to college for 4+ years just to help out! Is there some way I can work like at a shelter and just move up? Any websites/information would be appreciated!! Thanks!

I’ve sold a number of paintings in the past and haven’t faced this issue before. As some of you know the re-written copyright laws enacted when Clinton was president gives the creator of a painting all rights to that work upon completion of the work, including all rights to images of the painting as prints, reproductions, etc.

The price is fair enough, but the guy wanting it is stating that he wants to buy the painting and all rights to it’s image. And he wants this in writing (as a binding agreement) as part of the sale.

What would you do? Have you ever been asked to sale the complete rights to one of your works? I really don’t know how to deal with this. Would this mean that I couldn’t even display a copy in my portfolio without getting his permission? Or on my blog?

Here is the painting, not that what it looks like has any bearing on the issue:

I am 40 years old have over 18 years experience in my field. I am extremely good at what I do for a living. I am interviewing for a position at a new company and they prefer a degree. I, sorry to say, only have 1 year of college. What do I say about this? How to I get around this issue? Its on my resume, would they call me in if were that big of an issue? Is there a special phrase, something I can say that that distracts from this fact?

.....because I (as a Atheist) say.....what you base your life on I completely dismiss completely as fiction and superstition.

Even if I say nothing but mention the fact I am a Atheist. Doesn't that automatically offend believers?

PS: I am a ATHEIST :()>

I know they are married in real life and you can tell it's like oozing out of them when they are in a scene together to the point where it is disgusting....I am all for love but I can't take all the gushing...it might be the fact that I don't like this Victoria though.

I am concerned that our borders are not properly secured. I am not anti-Hispanic or any other nationality that comes to the US legally. Why are folks hostile if this serious issue is challenged? I want to be clear...I don't blame the people (Mexicans, Canadians, Russians etc...) I question and find fault with the policy makers and the corporations that hire illegal aliens. I have a problem with folks who enter this country illegally. It is wrong and against the law.
I want someone to answer me by taking out the emotion and tell me what is racist or ignorant about my concern?? My loyalty is with my country, the US, first and always. I try to not mistreat anyone because they are different from me.
