The Desert Bird

OK, I have an ATI Radeon Xpress 1200 video card (integrated with motherboard) and a Realtek HD sound card on my Win Vista computer. I never had any problems with the sound and display for 5 years now and have been updating Vista on a weekly basis over that time. Drivers for those cards seem to be nowhere available (not even on there websites). Strange that when I have just switched on my PC, my sound and videos would be perfect, but after a few hours that the PC is running, sound / display is getting gradually worse up to a point where watching a DVD or listening to music is impossible. These horrible scratching sounds starts to appear, videos become jerky and the computer mouse doesn't move smoothly on screen. Sound problems are both on the main speakers and the headphones (using separate jacks)

As a Christian, I've always believed God to be a Trinity (Father, Jesus, Holy Spirit), but I have no idea what the following statement mean:

"The Father is made of none : neither created, nor begotten.

The Son is of the Father alone : not made, nor created, but begotten.

The Holy Ghost is of the Father and of the Son : neither made, nor created, nor begotten, but proceeding."

Why is it that when one workers union strike, the rest become infected with this disease too? It gotta be worse than HIV...

And how does it differ from a Windows virus or trojan?

I can't download it from the ISO website. It is the general standards from ISO for testing and calibration laboratories.

I have Half-life 1, HL Blueshift, HL Opposing Force. On my old PC it ran like a dream. I had Win 98 on it and a very basic sound and video card. My new Vista computer have much better RAM, video and sound card, but it crashes almost instantly upon loading a game.

I tried to run the games in various compatibility modes (Win XP, Win 2000, Win 98 and Win 95 settings). It prevents the game from crashing, however but the sound and images are still extremely choppy and movement is very sluggish.

I just hate talking on a phone, whether it is a landline or cellphone, it doesn't matter. I work as quality controller in a food testing laboratory, and cannot concentrate on my lab work if the phone rings every damn 5 minutes. Sometime I'm the only one that has to answer it.

My manager says I just have to deal with it and that it is part of my job. I feel it is distracting me from my job.

Even in my personal life I hate talking on a phone. The moment I pick up the receiver or press the answer button, my brain and short-term memory shuts down and I sounds like an idiot. Either way I don't know what to say or I keep talking accidentally over the other person's voice with akward conversation breaks. For e.g. I have a great relationship with my father, but I hate talking to him over the phone because of the above-mentioned problem

How do I get help regarding this?

When I google the word "mydelsat" (without quotes). The first link listed is a mydelsat.com and it says below it that "this site mite harm your computer" Seconds later, without following the link, I suddenly an incoming trojan that immediately gets picked up by Avast! and deleted. What the hell is this?? I suggest that you do not google the word!

I have kept my computer up-to-date on a regular basis before the release of SP2. Apparently all previous updates are include in SP2. Windows Update say it is over 300MB. Will it only download the required updates or will it download the whole story with old updates and then selectively choose to install the new ones in SP2??

I don't have 300MB available and only have 500MB data cap per month

It is still waiting in Windows Update.

Aren't human rights just laws written by humans themselves, thinking that they have rights? The fact that I want to live, doesn't give me a right to live. If we look at how we are screwing up the planet's eco-system, can we still claim that we have rights? Do we deserve rights?

I must say the game build up to this great climax at the end end then you only have a short vision of the Age? I wanted to explore Releeshan as my reward in completing the game.

Aren't men suffering from other disease too...
