probably hd, I had to install a new one on my vaio when my mom knocked mine down and it was having similar symptoms.

Could be either ram or HDD... use memtest86 (available on ubuntu install disk) to check the ram. You might be able to use chkdisk, scandisk or another utility to check the hard drive.

Get an Ubuntu install disk - the standard installation disk boots as a live CD, and will give you access to the hard drive and the network - you can move your stuff easily. The folks at ubuntuforums can help you with other stuff too.

There are other linux livecd's with far more sophisticated rescue and repair tools, but I've never needed anything beyond the ubuntu disk.

Well, as long as you're willing to feel like an idiot for awhile, it's great. After a couple weeks, you'll start to figure out how crippled Windows really is.

That's sounds like a question for the magic 8 ball... Just make money doing
something you love.

if the two are mutually exclusive then happiness of course. if you are happy without money then you don't need it

Look at additional criteria - longer time period, for example. Life span - happier people tend to live longer, but people with more money leave more to their offspring.

You can be a gazillionaire and get a disease with no cure. What good is money then? Broaden your horizons & learn to appreciate the little things in life that we so often take for granted.

It depends on you, imo. For me, if i had a lot money i could buy everything that makes me happy. Some people say u cant buy love, i say youll never know till you try.

How can you say job and happiness are equally important? I guess at least you didnt say job = happiness... I would say go for happiness over the job... the job that is the most flexible and allows you the most free time to be you.

Hey That's easy. A cell phone. But a pc is kind of tied with that

It's a PC for me!

um...42?

When they officially name the scroll of names the Ben is spoken for every name. I think its more of a formal right then an everyday hody-doo

I am pretty sure ben is derived from the arabic bin, which means simply "son
of", so I believe to trace the genealogy it would be moses ben abraham ben
joseph etc. which would mean moses son of abraham son of joseph...

Contrails
For some conspiracy theorists, they are Chemtrails (as in the govt is poisoning us). http://tinyurl.com/2g87jr

Contrails or vapor trails are condensation trails and artificial cirrus clouds made by the exhaust of aircraft engines or wingtip vortices which precipitate a stream of tiny ice crystals in moist, frigid upper air.

An over-the-counter antihistamine may be helpful, follow label instructions. Sniffing and swallowing or gentle blowing may help.

Claritin D 12-hour always works for me... it is over the
counter but a little pricey.

I guess it would depend on your definition of big. Did you have anyone in mind? There don't seem to be any big names rolling to the forefront.

every four years, with one extra day on that year... patience is a virtue
dear lord constantskeptic.com

for the centuries, however, it's once every 400 years, so 1904 was one, but 1900 was not (2000 was).
