I don't have an XP disk. Edit: It may be around here somewhere.
-
I can get into safe mode, but I can't do anything to fix my problem. I tried running scandisk, but it tells me that it needs exclusive access to some files. I guess this means that windows can't be running or something. So then it asks me if I want to have the disk check the next time the computer is restarted. I check yes and press ok, but when I restart it, it goes directly to XP (which freezes at the loading screen) with no scan! So, I can't scan (and fix) in safemode. I can't get into XP due to freezing, and I can't boot to dos prompt because I have no boot cd. I've looked around on google but I can't find anywhere to tell me how to create a simple boot cd. I can find all kinds of info on boot disks, but I don't have a floppy drive, of course. I read that it may be a bad sector in the hard drive, but when I was able to simply run the scan disk without any fixing or recovery in safe mode, it didn't give me any errors. Nor did it do so in DOS Prompt in safe mode. What's my next step?

All that plus "other things" seems like a good deal to me.

I disagree.

I don't remember. I let Avast! do a boot scan and now everything seems to be running fine. If it happens again I'll be sure to check.

So my desktop is acting up. Sometimes it won't even boot up, but now, when it does, it takes a LONG time. And task manager says the CPU usage is at about 85-95% when it's just sitting there, and 100% when I have anything running. This just happened today. What could be causing this? Spyware? Virus? I'm about to run a boot scan to see if I can catch anything. We'll see.

I live close to DC, yet only the Tsar Bomb would obliterate out to where I live. Hell, it would almost reach Baltimore, and that's just the thermal damage! And yeah...damned asteroids.

No discussion of the last episode? Kind of heavy on the soap opera drama, but it's almost poetic justice that

Well, according to some blog, Moore has said that they are going to leave the Daniel/#7 thing alone until Caprica. Just great.

Adama has been popping pills a lot this half of the season, and how other crew are mentioning how poorly he looks as of late. (Great acting by eddie as always) I don't buy that, they have the merged Pegasus and Galactica crews running the ship. Which should, more or less even with losses since new caprica, have a mostly full compliment crew total. You can't tell me theres no one qualified in the combined engineering teams for someone to be a chief engineer. In fact SOMEONE has to be running the engineering dept... On the topic of new cap, while story wise I understand overruled military logic, I am sure if written properly adama would have taken pegasus to rescue them on new cap, not galactica. As from a pure military standpoint he would have wanted the most firepower to take on the 3 or 4 basestars. If so he wouldn't have this current issue of infrastructure starting to fail as galactica would have been sacrificed not pegasus. However, then it would be odd calling the show battlestar galactica if she ship no longer existed. lol Who was the head engineer supposed to be, there was the guy brought over from Pegasus who was killed in the mutiny, other than that it was always Tyrol who handled anything repair related. The episode where they were trapped in the airlock, investigating the explosives damage caused by Boomer, even the scene where the damage control team had to kill the workers trapped in the compromised bulkheads in the first episodes. I guess it's a question of practicality, a tv show can't have a character for every imagined major function on a Battlestar, it would grow the supporting cast too large. I don't think we ever seen the galactica chief engineer... EVER in 4 years so I am assuming the reason was logic was tossed out in favor of practicality as you said. But I do need to say I never understood why moore never introduced such a vital character of a ship. Think trek without scotty for example. Even if it was just a supporting role pulled out only when needed like capt kelly or racetrack. Hell, Pegasus had a chief engineer.

Artists use lies to tell the truth. Politicians use lies to cover it up...or something like that.

Maybe it's more biblical allegory? John the Baptist (Arabic: يحيى Yaḥy
-
Calvin? What about Hobbs? Or do you mean Cavil?
-
So Cavil murdered his brother, who his creator favoured - and out of jealosy none the less.. That's pretty much the biblical story of Kain. Holy crap! I just watched the episode again, and I noticed something else along those lines. Ellen offers Boomer the apple. Ellen is the serpent in the Garden of Eden offering the apple of knowledge to Boomer!

-
Or simply a crew member walking down the hall... Well, what kind of crew member? A TV show crew member that editing missed (Editing oversight), or a Galactica crew member (a clue)? He's wearing what appear to be scrubs, so I'm leaning toward the latter.
-
Exactly. Lest the centurions rise up against the skinjobs.....again.

Here's what I'm referring to: Editing oversight or A Clue!

Re Kara: interesting speculation. Aw...that sucks Just found this: http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/youwillkno...ex.php?pageid=6 0 some kind of preview for the 4th season involving Virtual 6 and Baltar? Also, after a second watch, in the scene where Anders sees everyone glowing, there is a character just in the background (in a doorway?) that ISN'T glowing.

The 6 that was involved with Baltar is the same 6 that is pregnant with Tigh's child. What I want to know is what happened to Baltar's "Mind 6." She hasn't been in the entire 4th season I believe, right? She just kind of disappeared.
-
Yeah, it really surprised me. I guess it's good they dealt with the mysterious origins of the fantastic five so we can move on to other things. That seems to be the speculation
-
Lots of info dropped in this episode I'll have to give it another view.
-
While I can't say the same about the quality (I feel it's been pretty steady throughout), I agree that space is better served as an excellent backdrop to put emphasis on the fact that they (the fleet) are truly alone in the vast emptiness of space. Not to say that I'm not a fan of the space battles :D But it's good that that isn't the sole focus, otherwise it would lose it's appeal.

So say we all. Haha, nice
