Those of you with Vista - a friend is wanting to learn Photo Impact and/or Paint Shop Pro. I have a few older versions of said software to give her and am wondering what, if any, problems she may have? I personally have and will always keep XP unless there are some big changes made with Vista, so can not advise her.

Actually he says that USA Today says that.

Was the 5,000 for the US alone?

If the 5000 is accurate, for the US alone, and only involves currently
living priest.

Why would any others know of each case? How many child molesters tell their
mates? How many molested kids tell anybody in such a way that they are
actually believed?

Since the rules do not allow priests and bishops to ordain women as priests
the Church is quite right to court martial and discharge them. If they want
to ordain women they need to get the rules changed. If they don't want to
play by the rules of the Church then they should go off and form their own
church that has rules that they like.

Note that the Church has worse punishments than jail and excommunication
available to it. How about sending a pedophile priest to run an orphanage
for kids with AIDS in Africa? Think he's going to be _happy_ there?

I see. So the 28 year old woman who got herself impregnated by a friend of
mine who was 12 at the time and then dumped him when he turned 13 because he
was too old for her was on a "male ego trip".

Given the pre-selection of those who went into the priesthood a
generation ago, and I suggest your guess is wrong.

Wha? How can it be non-sexual for a victim? How can sexual abuse be
non-sexual? "Non-sexual" doesn't mean "non-enjoyable" or "not
wanted".

Read more carefully. He didn't say that. He said that's what _USA
Today_ reported. There are bound to be discrepancies in numbers.
We'll never know the real count. We'll only know the number of
priests who have been accused of molestation, and not all those who
have been molested have come forward. The estimate used is a
projection based on what we do know.

Is it math or logic that's your weak point? The 47,000 represents the
total number of priests in 1998. The 4,000 or 5,000 represents the
number of priests involved in reported molestations. The reported
molestations go back in some cases 20 to 40 years, and were committed
by priests who are now deceased, retired, or removed. Unless you have
a figure for the total number of priests who are in office, and have,
served over the past 4 decades, you can't do the math you've done.

Really, you should have been able to figure that out on your own.

No. I'm telling you that your ability to generate meaningful
statistics is near zero.

The two covering up for the priests and tripling the figures doesn't
play out, either. The covering-up was done at the diocese and
arch-diocese level. Since a diocese includes several parishes,
cover-ups don't double or triple the numbers.

The cover-ups were still wrong - and, in one way, more serious than
the actual offenses because they allowed the problems to continue -
but your maths are in error.

This type of entry should have tipped you off that your maths doesn't
add up. How many priests who committed acts of molestation in the
1930s would be around today and in the 47,000 figure?

It's probably necessary to say again that nothing I've said is in
defense of the priests who committed the acts or the system that
protected them, but I do object bogus arguments.

Ah, I see what you mean. My alert was for Focus's mother-in-law,
who is a professor specializing it abnormal psychology and who
happens to be on the Nobel's screening committee. Rumor has it that
she's heard of the Darwin Award and may be secretly contacting
Portuguese arsonists in order to hasten its happening.

That triggers another old one:

Two friends are camping in Africa when they see an angry lion, ready to
attack them.
One of them takes of his boots and starts putting on his running shoes.

The other said:" What are you doing? You can never outrun a lion!"

"I don't have to. As long as I can run faster than you, I'll be OK"

Now, THAT is actually a valid argument that could be discussed.
However it is not the argument, that HEMI-Brain was using.

Jerry doesn't have the wit to fuck us up. It took Richard Cheney, George Bush,
and the rest of that crowd of evil but incompetent shitheads to do that. Jerry
was merely one of their clueless enablers.

Just had a chat with Nikon UK. They say Nikon are not getting any feedback
on these problems. Also say there is a new system in operation when you
contact tech support by phone rather than by internet. They now have to log
every call. They suggest that anyone with this problem phone them (including
Nikon in other countires) so they can get enough feedback for them to
update the firmware. What they may do is to add an extra option to the menu
which allows you to set the type of exposure control: standard or expose for
the highlights.

As Ken Rockwell has mentioned this problem on his site, Nikon UK suggest
that they may actually be deliberately ignoring this problem as they tend to
take everything he says with a very large pinch of salt. Shame, because
there is a lot of useful stuff on his site.

Note: if you search www.saynoto0870.com for Nikon it will give alternative
cheap or free numbers rather than the premium lines. So get phoning.

except it's mixed in with all sorts of bogus info and no real way to
tell the difference.

Used bunches of brushes, several filters the tube of the woman and wordart that I'm not overly thrilled with but it'll do, tfl.

Hope everyone had a fantabulous Friday chockfull of sunshine. Hugs'n friendship, Red
