krishna_iyer your perception of your computer working faster or the same is wrong. in fact how you should measure it up is to see how fast the files are opening, how fast the urls are opening when you suf the internet. defrag process is nothing but house-cleaning job for...

How do they justify the fact that the holocaust happened as a the reason that they returned to the Middle East and embarked on turning to the people who they found living in the land with acts of agression. Mind you - they...

krishna_iyer in fact it is the dreadstar who has fallen for the propaganda - first he said there was no holocaust, now he says there was holocaust, then they said there was no 9/11 and hinted it is te handiwork of americans themselves (!) and go on repeating it ad nauseum....

Can you block people on myLot?

wyrdsister @wyrdsister (584) • Canada 16 Dec 06

mattic @mattic (282) • United States 25 Sep 10

If you're an SEC, Big 10, Big 12, or even PAC-10 and ACC fan you must have strong feelings about whether Boise State, TCU, and Utah could win consistently in your conference. So, Boise State beat a rebuilding (and overrated) Va...
