Greetings; I recently built a new PC and I plan to run Linux in a virtual machine using VMWare. I know very little sbout Linux and was wondering if anyone had an opinion on which of the seemingly endless versions was the best to use. Many thanks in advance.

This image shows how big a block of pennies would be for 10 trillion dollars. Unfortunately the projected deficit under Obamacare would (or will be) 12 Trillion.

I came across a box of WWII Letters and such. I thought this was nice. It was a Christmas Card (Sorry I used the "C" word) and I know that it is well past Christmas. The sentiment written by the sender was very nice, and it still applies today: He wrote:"To some future time that will be more like the Christmas we all once knew, to all who will will make that dream come true, someday by virtues of their sacrifices.Signed by : Philip John Taylor.

Because... They just do! They can't help itIts like asking a bird why it flies or a fish why it swims.Its just what they do!I realize that this is stating the obvious

I'm befuddled trying to find a good Partion management software app. I was looking at Acronis Disk Director, Paragon's app and Partitin Magic.Since this is such a criticl decision,I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions.I want to repartition a drive so I can install Win7 Ultimate (I know, I know.... but I have to try it for work purposes and try the virtualization features.)Many thanks in advance.

Whoopie Goldberg thinks that Roman Polanski's rape of that young girl 30+ years ago was not "Rape Rape"She's now featured on the cover of the latest Toys 'R Us Kids circularIf this is not disgusting enough, his current wife is 43 years old which is the approximate age today of the young girl he raped all those years ago. I Called Toys 'R Us at: 1-800-869-7787 and the woman who answered the phone was very nice and also shocked to find out this info.I told her that they were off my X-Mas shopping list permanently. Please call and let them...

Chavez has professed his delight in the election of Obama and is extremely close to the Iranian President who has also expressed a liking for Obama.This is a very eerie situation.Could Obama be in some secret oil deal with the two?It would not surprise me.Because I'm sure you remember that Barry said during the election that he would be happy to see gasoline over $5 a gallon.

HELP! I'm trying to find a good but not expensive application for editing video. What I mostly want to do is just cut out the commercials from recorded shows.Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've tried several apps and haven't had much luck. Thank You

This song titled "Black Messiah" seems rather on topic. Especially with the way that Obama and the Dems are trying to stifle honest dissent on "Obamacare".From the Album:"Misfits" Circa 1986 or thereabouts

While out saying goodbye in the pouring rain and lightning to friends in my driveway, I noticed that traffic in the nearby road was backed up.This is very unusual, as busy as the road is for Southern New Hampshire. There was a very pretty female dog limping up the street,fortunately a very nice lady in a yellow SUV stopped and grabbed her by the collar.Thank God the animal had ID tags from the town (Secretely I was hoping I may have to keep her).The Animal control officer came right away and assured us that they can find her home from...

One of these two has a hideous plastic face with a permanently frozen smile.The other is a Mascot for an international burger chain.Can you tell who is who?

The Messiah did not hold a prayer meeting at the White House this year.He says he "Prays Alone" all the while he "Preys Publicly" on our wallets and family life.

Filmed over the period of a few months in and around Edinburgh by Dave Sowerby,this video of Inspired Bicycles team rider Danny MacAskill (more info at www.dannymacaskill.com)features probably the best collection of street/street trials riding ever seen. There's some huge riding, but also some of the most technically difficult and imaginativelines you will ever see. Without a doubt, this video pushes the envelope of what is perceived as possible on a trials bike.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z19zFlPah-o

I know its cheesy but it only took a few minutes in Macromedia.
