Yeah I'm so angry I could spit....my father is furious over her comments about him too. But I win... Furious eh? It was supposed to have two 18" guns on deck and It had no radar for aiming... It should have been named the White Elephant... the HMS Courageous as a comparison outfitted with four 15" Guns... http://www.cityofart.net/bship/large_light_cruisers.html A quote from someplace about a WWI battleship "Seas moderate, decks awash." One hit and those ships would be on the bottom or sinking fast, Actually one did sink with a loss of all hands in 15 minutes from two Torpedo hits, It was the Courageous, Sank by the U29.

Shocking, really shocking, Beer in Her hand and no audio, tsk, tsk, tsk. ;) Isn't it kind of difficult to get audio out of a GIF? What and all this time I thought someone had posted a YouTube flick here. ;) It figures that stickers would be a bit out of touch with reality. What? I was assuming that you had watched the movie that your avatar came from. Your avatar is Lightning McQueen (aka stickers) from the movie Cars in the dream scene where he is the hero in a video shootem up game.. Well I do have the movie on DVD(bought from amazon), But I'm not out of touch, I'm here ain't I? Besides I was kidding... You were?:) BOINC WIKI ID: 1022896 ·

Furious enough to send a complaint to the Medical Board? Any Doctor who is terrified to have another look at their work is one who knows their license should be pulled.

You tell them the machine a) has a custom software setup (to which no installation discs are available) to control the equipment it's hooked up to b) can not be backupped and therefore c) should under no circumstances go on the net (especially not for surfing on dubious sites). To minimize the problem you then make an intricate workaround to enable a program that wants administration rights to run under a normal user account and you remove all the internet icons etc. so people don't get tempted. AND WHAT DO THEY DO? they stuff a virus infected USB stick in to move their data, they infect the machine. they want to clean the machine they install 3 different malware detectors and a virus scanner (via the wireless and of course they leave the wireless running). and now the program doesn't want to save probably because the access rights are wrong. and how has to sort it out now?! Thank you very much, I wanted to use that equipment and not spend the next half day errorhunting [/rant] Thank you for your attention, you may now go back to winning. Or for that matter, I'd like to win, please? Carola ------- I'm multilingual - I can misunderstand people in several languages! ID: 1023020 ·

Fought those battles for many years, running data logging and instrument controlling PCs and laptops, in a company with a standard clueless IT department. Every time I would get one IT manager trained to not touch my stuff, they would go and hire a new IT manager. Switching all my stuff to Unix helped for a while, until a new manager took that as a personal challenge. I remember one particular conversation: IT guy: I'm here to install Win95. Me: these boxes don't run Windows. IT guy pauses, looks confused and then says: but the old Windows is no good. You need Win95. Me: they don't have the old Windows. IT guy: but we bought licences for your stuff. Me: go away. ID: 1023027 ·
