Joseph Haydn - Das Deutschlandlied

Though I was rooting for the Austrians today, I gotta say the Germans have the better national Anthem.

@aristide1: while I'm probably more politically aligned with you than with BF on many accounts, could we please keep this thread free of your constant bickering? It's simply annoying and distracts from other discussions. @spookmineer: I actually just watched that segment last week, and I have to say...

Depends on what part of europe I guess.... I've never seen one before.

American, German and Bavarian, although the latter is my worst of the three.... I swop American for English and top up with Austrian and Viennese. I can say "you stink" in Mandarin, counts? ;) Hmmm... I once tried to learn to say "yo mama" in like 30 languages... don't think that's enough. I just w...

Where are you from that everybody talks against it? I'm not "against" the Euro as such, I just can't see any significant benefits to it from a UK point of view, at least for the time being. Certainly nothing that would justify handing over control of our monetary policy to a bunch of German bankers...

1. I don't own a car so I'm not that informed about gas prices they tend to go up and down a lot. But here in Germany it's above 1.40€/l so thats about $8.35 per gallon.

More interesting would be free liquor with the car... now that might make for some mayhem on the roads....

I suspect many Europeans just do not realize the "big" problem we are facing.....that's the problem, big. People have built homes 30 miles outside town, and sometimes drive 40 miles to get to work. Many people do in Europe as well. Using your car has always been a sign of wealth. There is even an e...

bottom line, a constant 55mph is the most efficient speed for most cars. for every 10mph you go above that fuel consumption increases dramatically. I don't know about dramatically.... driving at 60 kmh gets me about 5l fuel consumption, going up to 100 puts me at 7.5l, and even up at 140kmh I'm onl...

Which pretty much puts us at a dead end....

should work. back in third grade I had a nickolodeon alarm clock radio, that only kept time correctly in the states, but not in germany. Most electronics these days will say 100-240V 50-60Hz, if you look at the power supply or the manual.

You people don't beat your children.

Good point.
This is probably also the reason why there are so many black criminals. Because police men don't beat black people enough.

Nope, you can just change things around.

If you go to Control Panel - Administrative tools - Computer Management - Disk management and change drive letters around however you want.

No help for the OPs problem though.

Well, then you're one of the few, judging by all the eastern European immigrants here - good for you.

You don't have to beat kids to get their respect.....take away their cell-phones, take away that Mustang you bought your 16 year old, take away their I-Pod. The point is children in the USA are spoiled rotten, respect no-one and nothing, and have never been held accountable for their actions. I gue...

That's what I was using. but 50 hours is too long.

I'll take alook at the other programs.

Hey, I tried zeroing a hard drive. Unfortunately it takes about 6 minutes per GB, which adds up to 2 days for a 500gig drive. Unfortunately this is my only computer and I can't really let it chill around in BIOS for 2 days straight. Is there any program to write zeros to a drive while in windows?

Does it appear in MyComputer - (rightclick) - Manage - DiskManagement?

No. Unfortunately I tried that allready too.

sorry for the miscoception, it didn't detect in the external case, which is why i put it in the computer in the first place. otherwise I would have just left it there. but I put it in to see if that would work better, but neither works.

AHhhhhh, one of my HD501LJs stopped showing up in windows. It was in an external enclosure, jumpered to sata 150, I took it out of the enclosure, removed the jumper and attached it directly to the motherboard. It shows up just fine in bios, but when I start windows it just doesn't appear in my compu...
