I think former President George W. Bush deserves an apology by many people who spent so much time accusing him of spending too much money and wasting too much money. I mean, not only were many accusing him of wasting money with the first Stimulus Package but they chose to support Obama when he offered a second Stimulus Package and now there are talks of yet another one? Have we gone mad? Has this Adminsitration not spent (wasted) enough money already and are planning on spending more if the Heal...

OK, so I have an HP Pavillion laptop, about 1 1/2 years old with 2 160 GB HDDs. The main drive is partitioned to include the OS re-installation backup on the second partition. My goal, to replace this 160 GB drive with a 250 GB drive and not lose the second partition for the back up. Is it possible to partition the new drive, copy the files on back up partition to the new drive and still be able to access the restore to factory settings feature if necessary? Please advise. Thank you.

It seems that what many believed Google would eventually do is now set to be available before the end of the year. To follow in Google's attempt to offer a new way to browse the Internet, Google Chrome, Google is now ready to make available Google Chrome OS, an operating system meant to be simple, lightweight, fast and to better with web applications. Personally I look forward to checking out this new OS. I'm curious to see just how plain, simple and clean it is. And of course, like Linux, Go...

As an owner of a $300 gadget with a logo of an Apple on it, I find it insulting and unfair of Apple to charge iPod Touch owners to update to the latest 3.0 OS. Personally, while the new features are nice, cool and very interesting, $9.95 just does not quite make them desirable, necessary and "updates I can't live without". I am curious though as to who actually purchased this update for the iPod Touch and was it worth it? I just can imagine why anyone would pay for this but I'm sure some have...

I don't know about you but I like realism when it comes to, well, reality. It's all fine and dandy to have Sci Fi in movies but unlike President Obama, I don't believe years of problems can simply be resolved by hitting the reset button (I wonder if Obama likes "Back to the Future"?). I am all for making friends and forming relationships with the rest of the world. I believe in a unified planet where every person can see each others as a single race and not divided by borders, cultures and la...

As crazy as this may sound, to me it seems that while Vice President Joe Biden was probably the biggest mistake President Obama has done so far, I find myself wondering if the reason for that may be because Biden may just be the kind of politician many of us have been looking for. Now hold on a moment, as I said I know this sound crazy but hear me out. Time and again Biden has found himself unable to control his witty mouth as he continues to make the Obama Administration look like its either...

What do President Barack Obama and Ousted Honduran President Manuel Zelaya have in common? They both have a complete disregard for their contries Constitution as they attempt to change the rules so that they can dictate what is best for the citizens of their countries by giving themselves more power. What does this say about Obama? Well, considering he defends Zelaya against the Honduran peoples will, there is only one saying that can best describe Obama's mind boggling choices of defending o...

OK, so I bought a copy of ObjectDesktop Ultimate and it came with that cool program TweakVista and would like to take advantage of its features to play my online games better. What I need? I need help setting up a second account on my laptop just for gaming. My goal? To eliminate any unnecessary services and progams so that I can have every GB of memory possible. What do I have? I have an HP Pavillion with an Intel Core 2 Duo, 3 GBs of Memory, anVidia 8600S videocard and Vista Home Prem...

Well, if this doesn't prove Sotomayor's obvious racist mentality is a problem we should not be ignoring, then we may as well turn this country into a dictatorship and get it over with. Anyone remember that little story about the Connecticut firefighters, 19 White and 1 Hispanic, who were denied promotions because not enough minority people passed the test? Remember who was one of the Appeals Court Judges who ruled against these firefighters denying them their promotions just because most were Wh...

My problem is when my kids play Need For Speed on the PSP, the controller stays stuck towards the left so when driving my son has to be hitting the right steering button to maintain the car as straight as possible. Siometimes it works fine, sometimes it doesn.t I can't always tell but this does not seem to affect any of the other features in the PSP. It's the only game we have at the moment so I can't reference another game to say it happens there as well. Any ideas why this could be happenin...

" death to America," "death to Israel" and "death to the U.K." Those were the words being chanted by the Iranian people who assembled at a speech from Ayatollah Ali Khamenei as he said that there was no cheating, no rigging of the election in Iran and that President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's win was an "absolute victory". Do you still think we should not meddle in Iran as Obama believes we shouldn't? It doesn't really matter anymore, according to Khamenei it is the foreign medi...

You know, it's funny how so many people fell for the whole concept that Obama would not raise taxes on, what was it, 95% of Americans? That would be true I guess, if 95% of Americans did not have work cell phones. Now, obviously, 95% or Americans don't have work cell phones, but I bet there are more than 5%. Be careful, dinner at home or you funny business with the mistress may cost you extra since it seems the IRS is interested in making money off your msg to you spouse that you might be run...

Although they say nothing is free in life, who doesn't love freebee's? When it comes to computers, I am big on free software (open source as many call it as well), although even I have to admit that there are some paid programs I refuse to replace with freebee's, such as Microsoft Office. Today I bring you 2 great programs I have found that have become very usedful in my workplace. Of course I am using them as personal programs and not as a company wide distribution like some of the Terms of ...

If there was ever anything that Obama has done that would make me question his ability to lead this country it's his pick as Vice President, Joe Biden. Sure, he has done many things that have already made me question his ability to lead this country, but Joe Biden takes the cake. What was Obama thinking, picking a man who gives a whole new meaning to the words "motormouth" and "chatterbox", a man who talks first and never thinks later, a man who makes Former President Bush's word fumbles look li...

I'm confused. I thought Barack Obama was the President of the US, but from some of the comments I have seen on some of JU's political articles lately, I get this crazy idea that the President of the US is currently John McCain. Why do I say that? Simple. During his Presidential campaign, Obama promissed a transparent Gov't, he promissed change and he promised to stop business as usual in our Gov't. As far as many were concerned, Obama was to eliminate everything that made our Gov't corrupt; y...
