I sell it to the state under the condition that I can drive it, I just can't
park on it. We park in the garage. :-P
LOL, I wish states would really do that. Then they'd have to plow my
driveway and I wouldn't have to pay for that plot of land. :-D

Yep, that's just ignorance. Anime is a style of animation. However the
animator uses it is his work, not a representation of anime as a whole.

Can someone tell me what's wrong with this script?
<script language="JavaScript">
//This Script creates variables for the date and time that is displayed in
the upper right hand corner
function makeArray() {
for (i = 0; i<makeArray.arguments.length; i++)
this[i + 1] = makeArray.arguments[i];
}
var months = new
makeArray('January','February','March','April','May','June','July','August',
'September','October','November','December');
var date = new Date();
var dd = date.getDate();
if (dd == 1 || dd == 21 || dd == 31) {
day = dd + "st";
} else {
if (dd == 2 || dd == 22) {
day = dd + "nd";
} else {
if (dd == 3 || dd == 23) {
day = dd + "rd";
} else {
day = dd + "th";
}
var month = date.getMonth() + 1;
var yy = date.getYear();
var year = (yy < 1000) ? yy + 1900 : yy;
var hh = date.getHours();
var hour = (hh > 12) ? hh - 12 : hh;
var mm = date.getMinutes();
if (mm < 10) {
minute1 = "0" + mm;
}
minute1 = "" + minute1
if (hh < 12) {
minute = minute1 + " AM"
} else {
minute = minute1 + " PM"
}
</script>

But that will default to the server's time and I want it to be the time that
is on the user's computer so that it shows their the time based on their

doesn't have an error at all but nothing comes up where it's supposed to. It
did that a few times before as I was working with the script but this time I

what do you mean according to manufacturers? I'm sure Microsoft didn't say
they're worse than Sony or Nintendo's. And I think the graphical difference
between PS2 and X-Box is blatantly obvious. PS2 is full of crappy sprites
and a very flat background. On the X-Box, it's nearly impossible to notice
the difference between areas you can't go to and areas you can. The
incredible graphics are seamless throughout the landscape.

When I right click my recycle bin and click empty it says:
"Are you sure you want to delete 'WINDOWS'?"
Somehow... that doesn't sound right at all. When I open my recycle bin I see
nothing. Without realizing what it said, I had clicked yes before and it
didn't do anything. I'm just wondering why it think my windows folder is in
the recycle bin? It just sorta freaks me out that WinXP thinks that it's in
the recycle bin. I'm scared to reboot... it might not come back up... :-\
HELP!
