I want to connect my PS3 to my Sony TV via HDMI and use the optical output from the TV to connect to my AV Receiver. The connection works but the PS3 recognizes only 2 speakers on the TV and limits the output to stereo not Dolby Digital. How can I get the HDMI to just pass the sound through the TV? I want to this so I can connect multiple HDMI sources to the TV but have only one optical cable to the receiver.

Alkanes are hydrocarbons, which means they contain only hydrogen and carbon atoms in their bonding. Now, the electronegativity difference between the C-C bonds and the C-H bonds is very small. This would make the electrons between the atoms loosely held and thus weaker bonds, right? So because these bonds are weak, wouldn't that make the molecule reactive because the bonds are easier to break??

He should be self-evident to everyone? Consider this analogy: If a nuclear device went off in the middle of a city, everyone (even atheists) would say "Say, there definately was a nuclear device in the middle of the city, and it was pretty damn powerful too". There wouldn't be a disbeliever in town.

Read this and pass it to everyone you know, or you too can hit the snooze button and go back to sleep.


This is not very long, but very informative. You have to read the catalog of events in this brief piece. Then, ask yourself how anyone can take the position that all we have to do is bring our troops home from Iraq, sit back, reset the snooze alarm, go back to sleep, and no one will ever bother us again. In case you missed it, World War III began in November 1979... that alarm has been ringing for years



US Navy Captain Ouimette is the Executive Officer at Naval Air Station, Pensacola, Florida. Here is a copy of the speech he gave last month. It is an accurate account of why we are in so much trouble today and why this action is so necessary.


AMERICA NEEDS TO WAKE UP!
That's what we think we heard on the 11th of September 2001 (When more than 3,000 Americans were killed -AD) and maybe it was, but I think it should have been "Get Out of Bed!" In fact, I think the alarm clock has been buzzing since 1979 and we have continued to hit the snooze button and roll over for a few more minutes of peaceful sleep since then.

It was a cool fall day in November 1979 in a country going through a religious and political upheaval when a group of Iranian students attacked and seized the American Embassy in Tehran. This seizure was an outright attack on American soil; it was an attack that held the world's most powerful country hostage and paralyzed a Presidency. The attack on this sovereign U. S. embassy set the stage for events to follow for the next 25 years.

America was still reeling from the aftermath of the Vietnam experience and had a serious threat from the Soviet Union, when then President Carter, had to do something. He chose to conduct a clandestine raid in the desert. The ill-fated mission ended in ruin, but stood as a symbol of Ame rica's inability to deal with terrorism.

America's military had been decimated and down sized/right sized since the end of the Vietnam War. A poorly trained, poorly equipped and poorly organized military was called on to execute a complex mission that was doomed from the start.

Shortly after the Tehran experience, Americans began to be kidnapped and killed throughout the Middle East. America could do little to protect her citizens living and working abroad. The attacks against US soil continued!

In April of 1983 a large vehicle packed with high explosives was driven into the US Embassy compound in Beirut. When it explodes, it kills 63 people. The alarm went off again and America hit the Snooze Button once more.




Then just six short months later in 1983 a large truck heavily laden with over 2500 pounds of TNT smashed through the main gate of the US Marine Corps headquarters in Beirut and 241 US servicemen are killed. America mourns her dead and hit the Snooze Button once more.




Two months later in December 1983, another truck loaded with explosives is driven into the US Embassy in Kuwait, and America continues her slumber.

The following year, in September 1984, another van was driven into the gate of the US Embassy in Beirut and America slept.

Soon the terrorism spreads to Europe. In April 1985 a bomb explodes in a restaurant frequented by US soldiers in Madrid.

Then in August 1985 a Volkswagen loaded with explosives is driven into the main gate of the US Air Force Base at Rhein-Main, 22 are killed and the snooze alarm is buzzing louder and louder as US interests are continually attacked.

Fifty-nine days later in 1985< /U>, a cruise ship, the Achille Lauro is hijacked and we watched as an American in a wheelchair is singled out of the passenger list and executed.




The terrorists then shift their tactics to bombing civilian airliners when they bomb TWA Flight 840 in April of 1986 that killed 4 and the most tragic bombing, Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland in 1988, killing 259.




Clinton treated these terrorist acts as crimes; in fact we are still trying to bring these people to trial. These are acts of war.





The wake up alarm is getting louder and louder.

The terrorists decide to bring the fight to America. In January 1993, two CIA agents are shot and killed as they enter CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia.

The following month, February 1993, a group of terrorists are arrested after a rented van packed with explosives is driven into the underground parking garage of the World Trade Center in New York City. Six people are killed and over 1000 are injured. Still, this is a crime and not an act of war? The Snooze alarm is depressed again.


Then in November 1995 a car bomb explodes at a US military complex in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia killing seven service men and women.

A few months later in June of 1996, another truck bomb explodes only 35 yards from the US military compound in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. It destroys the Khobar Towers, a US Air Force barracks, killing 19 and injuring over 500. The terrorists are getting braver and smarter as they see that America does not respond decisively.

They move to coordinate their attacks in a simultaneous attack on two US embassies in Keny a and Tanzania. These attacks were planned with precision. They kill 224. America responds with cruise missile attacks and goes back to sleep.

The USS Cole was docked in the port of Aden, Yemen for refueling on 12 October 2000, when a small craft pulled along side the ship and exploded killing 17 US Navy Sailors. Attacking a US War Ship is an act of war, but we sent the FBI to investigate the crime and went back to sleep.

And of course you know the events of 11 September 2001. Most Americans think this was the first attack against US soil or in America. How wrong they are. America has been under a constant attack since 1979 and we chose to hit the snooze alarm and roll over and go back to sleep!!!

In the news lately we have seen lots of finger pointing from every high official in government over what they knew and what they didn't know. But if you've read the papers and paid a little attention I think you can see exactly what they knew. You don't have to be in the FBI or CIA or on the National Security Council to see the pattern that has been developing since 1979.

I think we have been in a war for the past 25 years and it will continue until we as a people decide enough is enough! Ameri ca needs to "Get out of Bed" and act decisively now. America has been changed forever. We have to be ready to pay the price and make the sacrifice to ensure our way of life continues. We cannot afford to keep hitting the snooze button again and again and roll over and go back to sleep.

After the attack on Pearl Harbor, Admiral Yamamoto said "... it seems all we have done is awakened a sleeping giant." This is the message we need to disseminate to terrorists around the world.

This is not a political thing to be hashed over in an election year, this is an AMERICAN thing. This is about our Freedom and the Freedom of our children in years to come.




If you believe in this please forward it to as many people as you can-- especially to the young people and all those who dozed off in history class and who seem so quick to protest such a necessary military action. If you don't believe it, just delete it and go back to sleep

I just recently found out that people that are against the war in Iraq will go to fallen soldiers funerals and picket the war while the funeral is in session. To me this seems OBVIOUSLY sick. Is it just me....or are these people extremely sick minded?
If anybody were to do that at my loved ones funeral i would literally drive over them with my vehicle!

My room mate's cat whom isn't fed well, gets no exercise, etc, scratched me today and her nail tore out completely and stuck in my hand. I was inspecting it and it was just falling apart in my fingers. Is this a cause for concern? I'm going to talk to her when she gets back (she's on vacation at the moment) about caring for her better, is this a point I should bring up? I mean aside from the fact that she attacked me when I tried to fill up her food.. little nut job.

Do they believe the rest of us
( Conservatives, Independents, Libertarians, etc. ) are not smart enough to recognize cowardly B.S. when we hear it?
Have they learned nothing from our experience with the "flower children" during the Vietnam war, and the " cut and run " advice they offered?
How many times must they repeat this sneaky retreat?

I am wanting to burn a video dvd but I had to convert the files to an iso image before I could burn the dvd. The files I was wanting to burn have a menu at the beginning like a normal video dvd but when it is an iso image that menu doesn't work. When playing the files on my computer everything works like it should and I really want to keep that quality. Is there a different way of burning video files so all the features, like the menu, will work when the files are burned to a dvd? If there is a way, what program could I use? I have CyberDVD Power2go which seems pretty crappy and more complicated than it needs to be and Deep Burner that only does iso images. Thanks.
