Alonzo Mourning signed with the Miami Heat last night. Their frontcourt is looking scary now.

The Atlanta Hawks cut Gary Payton. He might head back to the Boston Celtics, or he could take an offer from the Phoenix Suns, Denver Nuggets, or Sacramento Kings.

Danny Ainge screwed up big time trading Antoine Walker two years ago, but bringing him back is easily his smartest move yet.

Why swap Gary Payton for Antoine Walker? Because Walker is just the better player. Besides, Payton probably won't even stick in Atlanta—he’ll likely get waived and head back to the Boston Celtics, giving them a lineup featuring Payton, Antoine Walker, and Paul Pierce.

You can already see the progress in Boston with Antoine Walker on board. They just grabbed two straight road wins, including last night's victory over the Phoenix Suns where they dropped 120 points—something they haven't done once this season. Antoine Walker personally put up 33 points, 13 rebounds, and 6 assists.

As for Chris Mullin deciding to hand Adonal Foyle $40 million, I guess the guy finally made a decent move by landing Baron Davis for basically nothing.

Caught the Golden State Warriors vs. Detroit Pistons game last night; the Pistons barely scraped by. It's obvious that once Baron Davis is fully healthy, he's going to be massive for the Golden State Warriors. It's just a shame Mullin blew $40 million on Adonal Foyle last summer and another $38 million on Derek Fisher when that cash could've gone toward an actual quality player.

Regarding Tim Duncan, Mark Cuban was the one who brought him in, not Don Nelson. It's hard to imagine Tim Duncan getting much playing time. That said, he could be a solid addition for the Dallas Mavericks since he can consistently drop ten points and ten boards any given night.

Look, Antoine Walker is a legend. When people asked him a few years back why he shoots so many threes, he just said, "Because there are no more power forwards."

Looking at some of these trades, you really have to wonder how anyone becomes an NBA General Manager. Who in their right mind gives Adonal Foyle a $40 million contract??
If only someone would give me a shot. 🙄
Like in Dallas. Does anyone actually have Mark Cuban's email?? How can he sit there quietly while Nelson brings in Tim Duncan? Mark, hit me up.

I don't get who finds that sick humor funny. The guy's just a creep.

The guy is a straight-up freak, honestly. Not just a creep, but a total psycho.

His blog is enough to make anyone lose their mind.

The best question ever asked🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏

It's a Verbatim model.

I can't open up the drive because I'll void my warranty if I mess with the PC.

But I doubt that's the issue since regular CDs burn just fine.

I've got a Sony + DVD burner running on Windows XP. Lately, I can't burn a single DVD to save my life. I tried ripping original movies first, then just basic files from a disc.
Don't think the burner is dead since it still handles standard CDs just fine.

I always stick to Verbatim blanks; they're the only ones that actually work with this drive.

When I try to rip movies using AnyDVD or DVDFab, I just keep getting an "Unknown ERROR".

Anyone got a fix?

Thanks.

Opera was nothing but trouble for me. I'm not saying it's trash, but I think Mozilla is way better.
It might sound crazy, but Mozilla loads pages like a bullet—basically instant—while with Opera, I’m stuck waiting a full minute on certain sites.

Anyway, Google Rules !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

swiftscout8 said:Dana Ortiz67, I bet you're running Internet Explorer 5 on Windows. Not sure how it holds up there, but on Unix, it looks terrible since they don't even use NTFS. It's a massive step backward. Fonts are impossible to get right, especially those special American characters!

And for the record, I have no idea who claimed that Blogger looks good on Google Chrome.

True, I'm on Windows using Internet Explorer 5 and it runs great for me. Way faster than Opera.
As for the blog, everything works fine on my end.

swiftscout8 said:Man, I just installed Internet Explorer 5. This version is a total disaster.

The fonts are completely trashed. Looks like this thing doesn't even touch the font server on Unix. Everything looks hideous. No matter what I tweak, I can't get any American characters to look right.

My blog is still broken. Going back to 1.5.

I think Internet Explorer 5 is actually the best browser out there so far. Better than Opera anyway, since it's way simpler and packed with useful stuff. I'm sticking with it.

Just finished installing Mozilla 1.7 and man, this thing is a beast.

I don't even need a separate mail client or anything else anymore since this has everything I need—plus a bunch of stuff I don't.

Solid.

I ditched Chrome because my screen kept flickering 😁, but only inside the window. Everything else was fine

Pretty weird. I got rid of Opera for the same reason—screen flickering.

That extension for extra tabs is actually incredible, though. The speed at which windows pop up is insane. I have certain pages I use to test load speeds, and with this extension, it hit record numbers.

Legit cool. Props to whoever suggested it.

I'm loving Mozilla, Opera is ancient history for me now.
Just one question though, what actually is Mozilla 1.7?

It says it's a browser, but is there any real difference compared to Chrome?

Got it. Thanks for the clear explanation and the help.

Best,

I've got two versions of Windows XP installed on separate partitions.
What's the move if I want to wipe one version off a partition?
Can I just delete everything on that partition, or am I stuck formatting the whole drive and starting from scratch?

Thanks.
