If you’ve got an older PC, something with 1 gig or less of RAM, every day is a new struggle for it to complete regular day-to-day tasks, and if wuauclt.exe is on one of its sudden and random runs – well – forget about it.

Now, this idea won’t help with the crippling Windows Autoupdate Client, and it won’t give significant relief to your beaten and abused page file. But it will free up some RAM and other resource to make your desktop reacted faster.

But wait, I know what you’re thinking: “If I’m running a PC with only one gig of RAM, what’s the likelihood that I’ll know I’m running only one gig, or how to find out how much I’m running, or for that matter, what RAM is at all. Seriously, seven years ago a whole gig of RAM was cool. But now-a-day, you’re only buying a PC with 1 gig if you’re buying it for someone else – and you’re a jerk.”

So let’s see how much RAM you have. It’s simple. Click the start menu, open the Control Panel, and click System (System icon under Performance and Maintenance). In the lower right hand corner of the System Properties box, you’ll see a description of your RAM – something like “3.00 GHz, 1.00 GB or RAM” – meaning you’ve got one gig of RAM. And if you’ve got less than one gig, you probably haven’t gotten this far because you’re still waiting for Control Panel to populate.

So lets shake some of that fancy XP fluff off your operation so you can get some work done – because seriously – if you’re limping along on one gig, you need to make some money and upgrade your equipment. Hopefully you’ve still got the System Properties box opened. From there open the Advanced tab and click Settings under Performance. In the Performance Options box, open the Visual Effects tab.

This is where you can control certain aspects of Windows Glitz and pizzazz. So go ahead and tic Adjust for best performance and hit Apply. (You can always switch it back) If you feel a sudden surge of nostalgia, and feel like you’re sitting in front of your old Win 2000 PC, it’s because you just stripped off all the characteristic XP lace and doilies, leaving a regular Windows interface. Without all that cumbersome crap, there’s more RAM for your programs to use.

Think of RAM as a bunch of little monkeys in a tree. The only way anything can happen in your computer is if data is moved and changed. In this analogy, it’s the monkeys’ job to hold everything up off the ground that you’re using – all the tools, programs, and data. Well now they don’t have to mind all the balloons and streamers. You’ve got more monkeys doing important stuff – or rather – fewer monkeys clogging a critical path: rendering crap on your screen.

This desperate grab for the minority votes is self evident in Obama’s directing the DOJ to drop the Black Panther case, which was already settled but for one last formality that was already certain, and his aggressive attack of Arizona, filing suit against them. This is boldness turned to corruption and ill-fatedness. It boggles the logical mind these tactics. Obama has shown his cards, and they say Chicago gangster scare tactics. He’s brought a new level of thugdom to the white house.

The events that will really seal this apparent and obvious role of Obama and his administration is if these cases fall in his favor. If the black panther case is permanently dropped and left to fade away, and Obama wins his suit against Arizona, it will be a complete and total failure of democracy with regard to these incidents. Thug politics and fear of the highest order will abound in Washington even more than it does now. What the hell is this country coming to when the president directs the DOJ to force states to stop protecting themselves only to offer absolutely no alternative or replacement for the protection? What the hell is this country coming to when voters can be blatantly intimidated at the voting pole doors and the dam president directs the DOJ to just drop it, when it is in the bag, and allow aggressive voting pole intimidation, harassment, and threats by men holding weapons? If I could relay a scream through this post, I would insert it here! I mean, holy shit Obama, what the hell kind of country are you running here? Why don’t you just have the military start taking over the country and impose your personal agenda on the people against their will officially, instead of doing it like no one sees, when everyone does in fact! it’s right in our faces every frickin day!

It is time for men like Christie and Jindal to step up nationally and start leading in the manner of an actual leader, not a bully child trying to force his own way. We need a Reagan desperately at this moment in history to get the country, government, and economy back in line. Since Bushes major departing and mistrust of the free market with the first bale out and even his liberal spending before, we’ve been heading in the wrong direction. Leaders wanted!

I’m definitely more conservative in my views and beliefs. But there are times when I try to wrap my head around politics and politicians without thinking in terms of conservative, liberal, or progressive. One such thought is, what do politicians really get out of pushing their agendas, policies, and politics on a personal level? Do they really receive some kind of personal profit from such actions? Does the president make money himself some how by pushing climate reform for example? Or does he take hold of some kind of personal power and persuasion over the country and people that enable him to benefit from that power on a personal level, apart from maybe an ego boost?

I think this is an important question to ask, because the answer has profound implications. I’m not saying I will or can answer this, but you know what I mean. If there is no personal benefit to pushing certain agendas and such, then it would lead me to conclude that politicians do what they do because they really think it is the best thing for the country and people in it. But if they do it for real personal gain, then its all pretty much what it looks like and their is little surprise. I would love to be surprised to discover that most politicians push their agendas because they think it truly is best for the country and people. That’s the sad part really though isn’t it? That we mostly think politicians push certain agendas for personal gain of some kind.

In the end, the answer likely lies somewhere in the middle, as answers usually do. There are probably some who do receive some kind of personal gain and those that are actually more concerned with doing good for the country and people, turning down personal gain on grounds of principle and national pride.

One figure that comes to mind when I think of whether politicians get some kind of personal gain from pushing their agendas is Al Gore. I think he is a prime example of one who exploits his political position for personal gain, both financial and influential (or power). He is by far one of the slimiest SOB’s out there, well, one of the slimiest out there that is dumb enough to make his efforts and evil agenda so obvious and visible. Al Gore has positioned himself to make millions and millions of dollars off of his “green” push. He is SO bold though in doing stupid shit completely contrary to his “green” preaching, sermons, and documentaries. Like his latest hypocritical move, buying that 9 million dollar home, on the dam OCEAN. The same one he warned everyone else not to buy land on because the rising climate would cause it to be completely covered by the ocean as ocean levels rise. Al Gore is just the tip of the iceberg though. His agenda is mild and child like compared to some of the darker more insidious figures in Washington.

Perhaps some of the worst offenders are those that push an agenda that is really bad for the country and people, but they actually and truly think it is the best. Like those that think gas prices need to go to $10 a gallon to force a “green” economy and permanent shift to electric, wind, and other power sources. Or those that push an agenda that leads American toward socialism, thinking that a socialist government and country if superior to our capitalistic democracy. These people are totally whacked and need to spend a year in an actual socialist country. They would shit themselves and cry for capitalism like a bunch of little scared girls.

What do you think? are our politicians and Washington in it for personal gain? Or are they in it for noble and principled reasons and motives? I sure hope more for the later.

Comic Dove will be rolling out some of the finest and funniest political comics in the weeks and months to come here on Noisy Dove.com   Please Enjoy the first of many savvy comics, and pass it on!

Its so dam obvious that the nation is fed up with the government, yet the dems and progressives continue to behave as though everything is as normal and carry on with the status quo. And the republicans continue to act like a bunch of spineless candy-asses. If ever there were few good choices among the available options, now is certainly the pinnacle of that dilemma. We need some big-balled, shameless, unapologetic, and uncompromising real people like Christie to take on these flagrant progressive’s who think they can rule the majority with their fear and scare tactics. Christie has done a great job taking on the unions and other progressive and liberal institutions that are bankrupting and destroying the country. If we had a bunch of Christies in Washington, we’d actually get things done and call out ignorance, incompetence, and waste.

We’ve got to get things rolling in the opposite direction with the elections in November. If we don’t, it will be terrifying to see what further destruction the dems do to the nation. They are already throwing out every liberal agenda and passing them like a sieve. They know the shit stick is coming and are desperately doing all they can before it slaps them in the ass right out of office. November just can’t come quick enough.

Despite the poppycock going on in government, there is a some amazing news! Noisy Dove is welcoming a new member to the team, Comic Dove! You have to stop by tomorrow and see Comic Dove’s first comic post. You’re going to love it for sure! Get ready to laugh your ass off!

Seriously, think about it, the dems would have never seen this guy coming, ever. No one knows him, he has no history, at least that anyone had time to dig up. There was either no reason to worry about him because of his obscurity or simply not knowing he existed. Either way, this was a HUGE oversight by the dems. They let this no name who’s also an apparent or alleged pervert walk in and take a huge and significant election with absolutely no contest. This is exactly like when people open credit cards in their dog’s, or even worse, their gerbils name. The dems ostensively let the “gerbil”, or in this case, horny rabbit, take the race without checking him out or even bothering to wonder why a fury rodent was on the ballot. No one should ever question or entertain the idea that the government knows best, lol. What a joke.

The other possibility, which I must say I rather hope to be shown to be true at some point in the near future, is that this was an issue with the physical elements of the electoral process. You know, like hanging chads, electoral computer programs problems, and the like. Why would this be preferable? Well, if the dems are dumb and dull enough to get their asses handed to them by horny-show-me-some-porn-rabbit Green, then I am even more afraid for our country than before. With the dems still in control, the only hope is they are not actually this stupid and incompetent. So I think I would welcome this scenario, which is not atypical or uncommon, and would explain a lot, taking the mystery out of it all and shinning light on the situation.

The only thing worse than either of the aforementioned possible explanations of this Green fellow winning this primary is that he won because an overwhelming number of voters, 59%, just picked the first name on the list or used some other arbitrary process to come to their voting decision. If this is what happened, holy shit, we’re screwed. The last great hope we have for change, making things right, and maintaining our freedom is the people. Even when politicians and the government start to go wayward, their is always the check and balance of the voting public. When this last and final safeguard fails, the whole ship sinks. If this wanker Green won because people just voted for the first name on the list, then they will get what they paid for. When you buy cheap crap made in China or Taiwan and it falls apart after a couple days of use, you have only yourself to blame.

I guess the best possible explanation for all this is that Green is secretly a genius, masterminding his advance to the presidency in 2012.
