I fought the video card and the video card one

Well, the saga of the video card/motherboard conflict is over, with me giving up and retreating back to the on-board POS the motherboard came with. At least for now, because I couldn't stand 640x480 in 16 colors any more, and the solutions I found online didn't work. So, I think I'll poke around a little more, and then I'm gonna end up probably taking the video card back to the store and probably just getting a refund, rather than trying to get another one. At least until I get a new motherboard, which I'll look over carefully and make sure it's compatible with the things I want (namely Linux and a decent video card), but that's a way in the future anyway.

Oy, I'm gone two days, and people prove once again they're idiots

The only GOOD part of this is 48% were against any kind of limitations on the rights of Muslim Americans. Probably a lot of overlap with that 48% and the 48% that didn't vote for Bush, I'd imagine.

I'd also like to note that a good chunk of the Muslims in america aren't arabs. Because I'm sure that's how many people figured. But why am I telling you, you're not idiots. So re-posting this here doesn't really do much, anyway.
