Well I was screwing around with wine trying to get it to recognize my CD's and I broke my Beta Ubuntu 8.04. Apparently there is a bug caused by copy protection that prevents many games with CD based copy protection from running (I first ran into it in Ubuntu 7.10 it's no beta problem.) It's not unusual for games to require access to the CD that installed them but with wine for some reason after installing it from CD it won't see the CD that just installed it. :/
I was probably way too tired when I lost access to the CD drive. So I reinstalled everything, now I can't install my freakin Nvidia drivers. DOH'
I'll have to try it again after some sleep. On the positive side of things Microsoft Windows improved a bit. I reinstalled XP to start dual booting again and service pack 3 has resolved one of it's major driver issues, I can use the mouse again, Yeah. I still need to use the fix for the sound using some generic microsoft sound drivers instead of the standard Realtek sound drivers. I'm not sure I trust the source though, it's one of those that makes me a bit paranoid it might be some sort of backdoor trojan that's unknown.

WAKE UP PEOPLE: The New World Order is here
This pretty clearly explains the Democrats failure to get their agenda done. They're not actually in power.

Thomas Jefferson Quotes
"I hope we shall crush in its birth the aristocracy of our moneyed corporations, which dare already to challenge our government to a trial of strength and bid defiance to the laws of our country."
- Thomas Jefferson
"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. Already they have raised up a moneyed aristocracy that has set the government at defiance. The issuing power (of money) should be taken away from the banks and restored to the people to whom it properly belongs."
- Thomas Jefferson
"The system of banking we have both equally and ever reprobated. I contemplate it as a blot left in all our constitutions, which, if not covered, will end in their destruction. I sincerely believe, with you...that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale."
- Thomas Jefferson
"To take a single step beyond the boundaries thus specially drawn around the powers of Congress is to take possession of a boundless field of power, no longer susceptible of any definition. The incorporation of a bank, and the powers assumed by this bill [chartering the first Bank of the United States] have not, in my opinion, been delegated to the United States by the Constitution. They are not among the powers specially enumerated."
- Thomas Jefferson
"I wish it were possible to obtain a single amendment to our Constitution - taking from the Federal government their power of borrowing (from privately-owned corporate banks)."
- Thomas Jefferson
"We are undone, my dear sir, if legislation is still permitted which makes our money, much or little, real or imaginary, as the moneyed interests shall choose to make it."
- Thomas Jefferson
Makes one wonder witch party he'd support? Neither
