KDE--

Are YOU serious? Why aren't you off your butt and helping people here LOL?
I don't see any KDE launched help on any topic on these groups!!! LOL

Have you had a level of consciousness on planet earth with a Glascow Coma
scale compatible with life?

You've been around on these groups. I've helped prolifically and reading any
3 of my posts indicates I have enough familiarity with Windows to share
files and folders. I must have several hundred posts on the XP groups in the
past three years helping people share files and folders and linking them to
the KBs to do that and to take permissions, etc., helping with networking,
etc.

My "tip" though was particularly with music based on helping a number of
people get their boxes in shape and noticing that they simply ripped the
music on the Vista boot instead of copying the music, and also there has
been confusion about not onlly using an Ipod successfully on Vista which
could be done from the start even before MSFT started issuing KBs to help it
(2 years after they were needed by some people lol) and many people do not
understand how to share from Ipod Imusic folders to WMP and vice versa and
from Ipod Imusic folders on one boot to Ipod Imuisc folders on the next.

Why don't you plow your energy and your self annointed "dripping with
sarcasm" among other things you drip with and dig in and help some people
since you obviously think you can? A search for KDE doesn't show squat that
you've helped with. Bring on da help KDE let's see some posts putting out
some fires for people instead of innane worrying ridiculously if I
understand file sharing.

LOL

Since you have such superior sophisticated Vista insight, why aren't you
answering people's questions on how to fix or get Vista up and running like
the rest of us?

Are you too busy "dripping" with sarcasm or whatever bacteria have infested
you?

>> Homeland Security, Veterans Affairs, Health and Human Services, and

>>
>> Wrongdoing of this magnitude does not happen by accident, but it is not

>> Frankenstein creature that stalks the G.O.P. as it faces 2008. It has
>> become the Republican brand and will remain so, even after this president
>> goes, until courageous Republicans disown it and eradicate it.
>>
>>
>> It’s not the philosophy Mr. Bush campaigned on. Remember the candidate
>> who billed himself as a “different kind of Republican” and a
>> “compassionate conservative”? Karl Rove wanted to build a lasting
>> Republican majority by emulating the tactics of the 1896 candidate,
>> William McKinley, whose victory ushered in G.O.P. dominance that would
>> last until the New Deal some 35 years later. The Rove plan was to add to
>> the party’s base, much as McKinley had at the dawn of the industrial era,
>> by attracting new un-Republican-like demographic groups, including
>> Hispanics and African-Americans. Hence, No Child Left Behind, an
>> education program pitched particularly to urban Americans, and a 2000
>> nominating convention that starred break dancers, gospel singers, Colin
>> Powell and, as an M.C., the only black Republican member of Congress, J.
>> C. Watts.
>>
>>
>> As always, the salesmanship was brilliant. One smitten liberal columnist

>> and inclusion are his talismans, education his centerpiece and national
>> unity his promise, we may say a final, welcome goodbye to the wedge

>> to appeal to the “51 percent of the people” who would ensure his hold on
>> power.
>>
>>
>> But it isn’t just the divisive Bush-Rove partisanship that led to
>> scandal. The corruption grew out of the White House’s insistence that
>> partisanship — the maintenance of that 51 percent — dictate every
>> governmental action no matter what the effect on the common good. And so
>> the first M.B.A. president ignored every rule of sound management. Loyal
>> ideologues or flunkies were put in crucial positions regardless of their
>> ethics or competence. Government business was outsourced to campaign
>> contributors regardless of their ethics or competence. Even orthodox
>> Republican fiscal prudence was tossed aside so Congressional allies could
>> be bought off with bridges to nowhere.
>>
>>
>> This was true way before many, let alone Matthew Dowd, were willing to
>> see it. It was true before the Iraq war. In retrospect, the first
>> unimpeachable evidence of the White House’s modus operandi was reported
>> by the journalist Ron Suskind, for Esquire, at the end of 2002. Mr.
>> Suskind interviewed an illustrious Bush appointee, the University of
>> Pennsylvania political scientist John DiIulio, who had run the
>> administration’s compassionate-conservative flagship, the Office of
>> Faith-Based and Community Initiatives. Bemoaning an unprecedented “lack
>> of a policy apparatus” in the White House, Mr. DiIulio said: “What you’ve
>> got is everything — and I mean everything — being run by the political
>> arm. It’s the reign of the Mayberry Machiavellis.”
>>
>>
>>
>> His words have been borne out repeatedly: by the unqualified political
>> hacks and well-connected no-bid contractors who sabotaged the occupation
>> and reconstruction of Iraq; the politicization of science at the Food and
>> Drug Administration and the Environmental Protection Agency; the
>> outsourcing of veterans’ care to a crony company at Walter Reed; and the
>> purge of independent United States attorneys at Alberto Gonzales’s
>> Justice Department. But even more pertinent, perhaps, to the Republican
>> future is how the Mayberry Machiavellis alienated the precise groups that
>> Mr. Bush had promised to add to his party’s base.
>>
>>
>> By installing a political hack, his 2000 campaign manager, Joe Allbaugh,
>> at the top of FEMA, the president foreordained the hiring of Brownie and
>> the disastrous response to Katrina. At the Education Department, the
>> signature No Child Left Behind program, Reading First, is turning out to
>> be a cesspool of contracting conflicts of interest. It’s also at that
>> department that Bush loyalists stood passively by while the student-loan
>> industry scandal exploded; at its center is Nelnet, the single largest
>> corporate campaign contributor to the 2006 G.O.P. Congressional campaign
>> committee. Back at Mr. Gonzales’s operation, where revelations of
>> politicization and cover-ups mount daily, it turns out that no black
>> lawyers have been hired in the nearly all-white criminal section of the
>> civil rights division since 2003.
>>
>>
>>
>> The sole piece of compassionate conservatism that Mr. Bush has tried not
>> to sacrifice to political expedience — nondraconian immigration reform —
>> is also on the ropes, done in by a wave of xenophobia that he has failed
>> to combat. Just how knee-jerk this strain has become could be seen in the
>> MSNBC debate when Chris Matthews asked the candidates if they would
>> consider a constitutional amendment to allow presidential runs by
>> naturalized citizens like their party’s star governor, Arnold
>> Schwarzenegger (an American since 1983), and its national chairman,
>> Senator Mel Martinez of Florida. Seven out of 10 said no.
>>
>>
>> We’ve certainly come a long way from that 2000 Philadelphia convention,
>> with its dream of forging an inclusive, long-lasting G.O.P. majority.
>> Instead of break dancers and a black Republican congressman (there are
>> none now), we’ve had YouTube classics like Mr. Rove’s impersonation of a
>> rapper at a Washington journalists’ banquet and George Allen’s “macaca”
>> meltdown. Simultaneously, the once-reliable evangelical base is starting
>> to drift as some of its leaders join the battle against global warming
>> and others recognize that they’ve been played for fools on “family
>> values” by the G.O.P. establishment that covered up for Mark Foley.
>>
>>
>> Meanwhile, most of the pressing matters that the public cares
>> passionately about — Iraq, health care, the environment and energy
>> independence — belong for now to the Democrats. Though that party’s first
>> debate wasn’t exactly an intellectual feast either, actual issues were
>> engaged by presidential hopefuls representing a cross section of American
>> demographics. You don’t see Democratic candidates changing the subject to
>> J.F.K. and F.D.R. They are free to start wrestling with the future while
