  2. from wikipedia: The Janjaweed (variously spelled Janjawid, Jingaweit, Jinjaweed, Janjawiid, Janjiwid, etc.) is an armed militia group in Darfur, western Sudan, comprising fighters of Arab background (mainly from the originally nomadic Baggara people). Since 2003 it has been one of the principal actors in the increasingly bloody Darfur conflict, which has pitted nomadic tribes against the settled arable farmer tribes of the region. The Janjaweed represent the ruling Sunni Muslim government. The name "Janjaweed" means "armed men on horseback." The Janjaweed is the successor to an earlier Arab tribal militia, the Murahilin (literally "nomads"), which had existed for many years beforehand. so I looked up baggara peeps The Baggara or Baqqarah are a nomadic Bedouin people inhabiting Africa from between Lake Chad and the Nile, in the states of Sudan (particularly Darfur), Niger, Chad, Cameroon, Nigeria, and the Central African Republic. They are also known as Shuwa Arabs. They are cattle-herders, migrating seasonally between grazing lands in the wet season and river areas in the dry season. They are mostly speakers of the Shuwa dialect of Arabic. Most are Muslims, thought to be the descendants of Arab tribes who settled the region during the Middle Ages. Their name is a term widely used in western Sudan for Arab pastoralists, meaning literally "cattle herder." The Baggaras' pastoral lifestyle has led to conflict with the sedentary African farmers of the region concerning access to water and grazing land. This has been the source of ethnic tensions for many years, culminating in the bloody Darfur conflict which began in 2003. The Baggara include several tribes, such as the Rizeigat, Ta’isha, Habbaniya in Darfur and Misseiria and the Humur and Hawazma in Kordofan. The Misseiria of Jebel Mun speak a Nilo-Saharan language, Tama (also called Miisiirii.)

    "...And I don't think geothermal energy could really power the world for a long period of time." explain? heat from the earth's core won't supply for a long time, but rocks created by the core will? have you ever studied physics or geology?
  11. I think I like this show more than jon stewart now..this guy is really coming into his own...
  12. I'd trust what dudes say on 12oz than most other places, esp in relations to cpu stuff....its just part of that graf brotherhood/frat/freemasonary I guess, lol
  13. ok mainter thanks, but I got our tech guy to log me in and gave me a new un, but that is good to know, thanks, but heres an easy one...I hope... I have this laptop from work...I want to get onto the internet real quick here at home to install some software (yes I work more than 12 hours a day)...I only have comcast cable...I unplugged it from my desktop and plugged it into my laptop, but it won't detect the internet...how do I set it up??? ...I played through all the set-up shit couldn't figure it out..I know its easy, just not too sure... at school, our tech guy always did that for us, so I never learned plus i was no administrator, unless thats my problem, but i don't think so... EDIT***** I figured it out I think..anyway I get wireless on it...not sure from where, lol, but its wicked fast, so whatever...

    geothermal is cheap and limitless...small investment, low maintainence...also LOW profit...and we need to develop better batteries and engines that can run on some type of electric motor...esp for flying planes and moving container ships, which use the most energy (carbon based that is) but geothermal will be best to power cities, since basically the heat of the earth wil be used to boil water to turn the turbines... nuclear will never really work, too much radiation...as physicists discover more and more sub atomic particles, they relize more what a nuclear explosion gives off... waterpower is good, but dams ruin rivers which kill ecosystems, so scrap those solar is good for local heat sources, such as homes etc, but not for large scale energy production, same with wind... alternative fuels are a no-no beacuse they're still basically a carbon-based energy source, which is NOT what we really need to produce... seriously, look at geothermal.. do the research...its the best and cheapest and easiest alternative...as I said though, there is really no profit though after infrastructure investment...so no one wants to invest in something that has a 000.1% rate of return vs. 200% get it? geothermal...
  15. here is a program for you called crack password administrator http://www.sendover.com/4UW8-2J-N3TE and here is the other one ERD Commander Quoted post [/b] how do i use the cp administrator?
  16. ok I got a laptop from work and it has a windows log-on. I called our office manager, whose not too bright to get the pw and she was clueless...I'll probably call the tech people tommorow to bypass her, but is there away around the log-on or to change the pw?
