Solve : A very notable birthday..? |
Answer» Jimmy Page is having a birthday.WHO Quote from: harry 48 on January 09, 2010, 02:36:42 PM WHO You must be kidding. Quote from: Quantos on January 09, 2010, 02:37:08 PM You must be kidding. does it look like it , jimmy who ?? Quote from: harry 48 on January 09, 2010, 02:49:19 PM does it look like it , jimmy who ?? I just assumed that you had to be kidding. I thought everyone knew who Jimmy Page is.I confess, I didn't know either.I had no idea that there were people who didn't know who he was. Do you all know who Jimi HENDRIX was? Quote from: Quantos on January 09, 2010, 03:08:23 PM Do you all know who Jimi Hendrix was?Now, that is a familiar name.*sigh* It's a sad state of affairs for the current generation. Quote from: Quantos on January 09, 2010, 03:16:46 PM *sigh* I've had people who had NEVER heard of the tragically hip! It was actually a funny conversation... they'd say, "the who?" And I'd say, NO! the tragically hip, not the who... Then again, there are a lot of people in CANADA and the U.S who don't know who Craig Charles is. But they are few and FAR between in the U.K.I have no idea who anyone you are talking about are. Except Jimi Hendrix, The Who and The Tragically Hip. Quote from: BC_Programmer on January 09, 2010, 03:56:56 PM Then again, there are a lot of people in Canada and the U.S who don't know who Craig Charles is. But they are few and far between in the U.K. The comedian?Saw Led Zep from 2nd row, center stage at Madison Square Garden. Great show. Met Robert Plant's wife.All is not lost! I've known who Jimmy Page was since I was probably 5 years old. (Note- this was only 16 years ago)... However, this is probably a result of hippie/burnout parents Quote from: hotelgirl on January 09, 2010, 11:16:06 PM All is not lost! I've known who Jimmy Page was since I was probably 5 years old. (Note- this was only 16 years ago)... However, this is probably a result of hippie/burnout parents What's wrong with burnt out HIPPIES? |

Because it's fun to fool yourself into thinking that you will become someone important in the human society. It also gives you a good incentive to study and work hard; having spread your hopes and dreams on the INTERNET, the greatest forum in the world [I believe], you would not like to fall below those hopes and dreams and make a fool out of yourself. Nah, I don't have BC's gift Quote Also why are there this many responses to a spam post?It's still a valid question.....

It also gives you a good incentive to study and work hard; having spread your hopes and dreams on the internet, the greatest forum in the world [I believe], you would not like to fall below those hopes and dreams and make a fool out of yourself.No offense, but if that's what it takes to motivate you to study and get ahead (not disappointing people you don't know) I think a reevaluation may be in order. And if you believe that thinking you may go somewhere in this world is "fooling yourself" ... WELL, maybe a BIG reevalutaion .hehe. i was just fooling around .I hope so.

Solve : Walmart people? |
Answer» have you guys ever realized how many weird people go to walmart? just to name a few: clowns, very old people, shoplifters that don't have BRAINS, scray lepord skin jacket dude with multi-colored hair... have you guys ever realized how many weird people go to walmart? just to name a few: clowns, very old people, shoplifters that don't have brains, scray lepord skin jacket dude with multi-colored hair... if thats the case , i'm glad we don't have walmart , even if it is a small second rate storeYeah, why would you want to shop somewhere that old people go? This is the most moronic thread I've ever seen - and believe me, that's saying a lot. Quote This is the most moronic thread I've ever seen Especially if you don't live in a Wal-Mart country.I'm not sure what wal-mart country is, but we have one less than a mile from where I live.Can someone tell my why almost all people hate Wall-Mart? If all people hate Wall-Mart why do they buy STUFF there? We don't have a Wall-Mart in this country, but if we had I would properly buy there. Like the stuff is really, really, really cheap. and they have the most stuff + they give more job, and I do know they put other business in bankruptcy but that's only becuase people stop buying there. So why dose every one hate them?To say that everyone hates them is a gross exaggeration. Obviously, if that were true, Walmart would not have achieved the level of success it has achieved. But, they've had some very negative public image issues to deal with. This Oct. 2006 articlle should shed some light: Wal-Mart: A 'Reputation Crisis'No, they don't hate it! It is just that it is so crowded... NOBODY goes there anymore! Quote from: Allan on December 10, 2009, 10:09:47 AM I'm not sure what wal-mart country is, but we have one less than a mile from where I live. I wrote "who don't live in a Wal-Mart country". And I meant to say "I don't know what a wal-mart country is" Quote from: Allan on December 10, 2009, 01:39:45 PM And I meant to say "I don't know what a wal-mart country is" You really don't understand that it means "A country where Wal-Mart operates stores"? Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Puerto Rico and the USA. Plus a number of other countries where they own part or all of store chains with different names. I once went in to a wal-mart intent on bringing them down. But I found a great deal on a set of sockets... and they had just rolled back their price on desk fans; and really, I felt bad about my idea after that senior citizen greeted me so warmly. And I mean, really, with all those smiley faces everywhere, you really would need a cold heart to do anything mean. I mean, the smiley faces are always watching. Always. So I decided to abate my crusade, at least until I could milk out the great value. I suddenly had an URGE to paint everything blue, as well. But I think that might be because I was stuck in Happy-Happy VALLEY on Earthbound at the time. Quote from: Salmon Trout on December 10, 2009, 01:50:39 PM You really don't understand that it means "A country where Wal-Mart operates stores"? Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Puerto Rico and the USA. Plus a number of other countries where they own part or all of store chains with different names.No, I really didn't. I thought it was a metaphor. Quote from: Allan on December 10, 2009, 02:15:47 PM No, I really didn't. I thought it was a metaphor. I like metaphors. No seriously, giant metal symbols; metal fours. |

And That's something I would do, totally psychoanalyze a silly little question like "why do I have to go to school" and turn it into a long drawn out soliliquiy.

Solve : What do you do on your computer?? |
Answer» A very simple question. What do you do on your computer? I can't think of much to do today so I thought you all might be able to conjure up some things you do. WITHIN FORUM RULES! Everything from games to eating. Simply plug myself into the Firewire port and I get a refreshing charge of power.What games? Do you ever just go to sites like cnet.com and look at reviews of things you can never afford but still dream of having? Quote from: paudashlake on June 30, 2009, 12:52:39 PM What games? Do you ever just go to sites like cnet.com and look at reviews of things you can never afford but still dream of having? I'm not that sad. When I'm on the computer, I'm either playing games, WORKING, or doing SOMETHING productive.....most of the time....What do you do that is productive? I have photoshop, PAID a fortune for it, but never use it. Mostly Software DEVELOPMENT in VB6- which generally requires Visual Basic, APIViewer 2004, a text editor (to edit the XML files used to create the menus/popups). I swear, BCSearch is gonna be released... one of these days. I've already used it a few times to locate files. I just have to stop trying to add too many features... And of course browse the web. ahaha we all browse the web to pas time sometimes. Quote from: paudashlake on June 30, 2009, 01:30:49 PM What do you do that is productive?Most recently, check the website in my profile.oh. Does it take a long time to make a 3D model like that?

Solve : Worst virus you've ever had on your computer? |
Answer» What is the worst virus you have ever had on your computer? I almost had a virut infection once but my pc tolls firewall+ (witch block apps from modifying apps) stopped it from doing anything before it could harm me . I think you have the wrong impression of Virut. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymorphic_codeWhat if were not really sure? I know that I constinlly get new pages at times on IE.On my computer?.....or someone elses' that I was working on? I think the worst for me was a worm (don't know the exact name). I did a fresh install of Windows XP on my mom's computer and she had a dial-up connection and she was not behind a hardware firewall... The installation CD that came with her computer is plain Windows XP Home CD, without any service packs....Security Center (with Windows Firewall) for Windows XP didn't come until Service Pack 2 was released... So we've got here, a fresh Windows XP Home installation, with a BASIC 56k modem connection with no firewall enabled....... After the installation was complete (several times), as soon as I connected to the internet to get the XP updates, within seconds the computer automatically restarted because of a worm infecting the system as a result of having no firewall enabled....I reinstalled multiple times until I figured out that a worm was messing up the works...The solution: Reinstall XP, and BEFORE connecting to the internet for updates..Install a third-party firewall, temporarily........I used PC TOOLS firewall, until Service Pack 2 (at least) was installed. Once the PC TOOLS firewall was installed, I could get the updates no problem.....I know I could have installed Service Pack 2 from an installation ISO, but I didn't have an option to make a CD, at the time. being behind a router solves that whole problem, as well, BlockHead. Quote from: blockHEAD on June 23, 2009, 10:51:51 PM I did a fresh install of Windows XP on my mom's computer and she had a dial-up connection and she was not behind a hardware firewall... I'm aware of that BC That was sort of included in my story and with the open source firewall, she wouldn't have to buy a router... don't cha think?at the same time a software firewall is easily circumvented by trojans that do manage to get on. a hardware firewall isn't. Quote from: BC_Programmer on June 24, 2009, 11:04:24 AM at the same time a software firewall is easily circumvented by trojans that do manage to get on. a hardware firewall isn't. ok, so next time this happens and the software firewall doesn't work, I'll consider either a hardware firewall or having Service Pack 2 (minimum) ready on a CD, after the installation is complete..........that is, if windows firewall is up to the task So far I can say that I had a TSR on my Gaming PC when I was still new with it.TSR's aren't necessarily bad... Not to mention they haven't existed since pure DOS...my machine wouldnt have stopped rebooting, as much as I know.I intentionally downloaded Antivirus 2009. I was reformatting my pc in a few minutes, so I thought what the heck, LETS see what it does. Turns out when I installed it and restarted, it deleted a file that was needed for windows to boot. I can't remember the file, but it WAS important! hahaI can't remember the exact name because it's no-longer in my quarantine. It was some sort of adware, malicious pile of garbage. Every 5mins or so it would bring up a little box just above the notification area saying that I had not completed registration/paid a bill... Billsystem something it was called now I think. And the box would not go away, you clicked on the little x on the top right then a pop came up on your screen saying pay this money now Blah blah. I phoned Norton and they were so kind to offer me a £49 charge to remove it... love those guy's. 2 day's later I updated Norton and it got automatically removed. Cheeky so and so's! Not exactly a virus but enough to make you want to kick the creaters *censored* into the next millenium! |

Solve : Argonauts vs Tiger Cats? |
Answer» The Toronto Argonauts are leading the Hamilton Tiger CATS 23:10 at the half.
It's REAL foot ball. you mean soccer?No, soccer is soccer. I'm talking CFL. 10 yards longer, 15 yards wider, only three downs... REAL football, not that wussy NFL stuff. No, Soccer is real football. it actually uses the feet. Gridiron is a different sport altogether. Either way, the entire class is somewhat wussified when you bring Rugby into the equation.Yeah, those guys are psycho. My best friends gf plays women's rugby. I swear, half of those chicks have more facial hair than I do...hey, my MOM used to play Rugby... Dead SERIOUS!!!It takes leather balls to play Rugby...

Solve : Fascinating Story? |
Answer» The Girl That Does Not Age...very interestingWow, that really was interesting. Thanks for sharing that, Patio.I have to wonder if her cells age. I really HOPE that she doesn't have to spend the rest of her life being 'studied'.It says she doesn't have any known disorder. Well there's ya go! It's simply not known!Yeah, I read something about that a while back. Really bizarre, but its all in our genetic makeup. Quote from: QUANTOS on June 28, 2009, 01:02:23 PM I have to wonder if her cells age. Yes, as far as I know because her cells can only live for so long they die and now cells are made using MITOSIS, now if these weren't dying and therfore no new cells were being replicated she would have cancer (because mitosis repairs the cells) and cancer is any abnormality in the number of new cells being produced.Your assuming the rest of her doesn't age Irish, they said she has the skeleton that appears to be aged to about that of a ten year old. So she IS aging. Something ain't right there..... Is this a hoax?Paud, your too dismissive, thinking anything too bizarre isn't true. Things do exist beyond our realm of UNDERSTANDING, most people just refuse to accept that.I'll beleive it when scientists figure it out and deem it true for me!That sounds reminiscent of the Catholic church and Galileo's views of the solar system. There is proof, do you really want to be in her place?Fascinating, but I wonder if she may BECOME the oldest person alive if this continues to pause her aging(but from what the article said: "Her body parts are independent in the aging process, not in sync") |

Answer» I use to ask my mom if she keeps her browser cleaned out by DELETING temporary files and cookies...Her response was always, "Yah I always go in and delete my "cookies" and my "cake". At first I never thought MUCH of it. It was before I really started to learn about the Windows Operating System. I used to pronounce it as Cash-ay, myself. Guilty ... from Quebec roots....Irish roots.Your pronunciations are probably more correct, anyway.Officially its prounounced KASH K as in sky A as in bad SH as in shy I know. I was referring to how I USED to pronounce it. It's originally from the french word for "HIDING place". I know but nobody had yet said How to pronounce it. Quote from: BC_Programmer on June 26, 2009, 10:43:31 AM I used to pronounce it as Cash-ay, myself. lol how funnyI don't know why we even call it 'cache' -- say that to most computer users, and they have no idea what you mean. Did you clear your browser cache? At least if you talk about cookies and temporary internet files, you have a chance they'll understand.cache --- isn't that where the browser hides all those things.... ?In windows xp, browser cookies are actually stored in C:\documents and settings\user\cookies In Vista the cookies folder is a little bit more difficult to get to, you have to break the permissions on the folder if you want to access it...I pronounce it "cabbage"...a vegetable? How ODD LOL ok, on my mark, everyone clear your browser cabbage! ready, one, two, three...................Heh great story. |

Solve : Filipino inmates in 'Thriller' video stage tribute? |
Answer» In the news, but not really computer news (hence being in 'Off Topic'), the same group of Filipino inmates who performed "Thriller" 2 years ago got together again in an encore PERFORMANCE to pay tribute to Michael Jackson, who you all know passed away a few days ago. Before anyone goes knocking their performance, think about this: Why don't you try choreographing 1,500 inmates? CEBU, Philippines – The Filipino inmates who shot to global fame with a YouTube video of their "Thriller" dance swayed and stomped again Saturday in a behind-bars tribute to their idol, Michael Jackson. The original "Thriller" practice performance by the inmates: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMnk7lh9M3o The final "Thriller" performance: (audio isn't as good) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mv9Hv9MeXQ The tribute prepared and performed within 10 hours of the news: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OK25cfzdTTgI can't even choreograph myself. Nice to see...thanks! Quote Why don't you try choreographing 1,500 inmates? There's two reasons really. 1. I don't want to GO to jail. 2. I think they would call it a riot. |

Solve : This is cool - Babyglow to Detect Fever in Baby? |
Answer» http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/06/19/babyglow-to-detect-fever-in-baby/ First time parents are naturally more anxious and worried about their baby as they do not have the EXPERIENCE of having brought up a child previously. It is particularly worrying when a child gets SICK as a fever, for instance, could lead to brain damage if not detected and the temperature brought down. The indispensable household thermometer aside, Chris Ebejer has come up with a line of baby clothing that changes color according to a baby’s body temperature. This should reassure parents who want to keep a watchful eye on the FEVERISH baby but FEAR that they may not do enough due to exhaustion or lapse of attention. Babyglow clothing comes in blue, pink, and pastel green COLORS. The original color will turn white whenever the baby’s temperature rises past 37 degrees Celsius. Ebejer spent £700,000 to research and develop the revolutionary pigments which have been embedded into the fabric of Babyglow. Though Ebejer claims that the clothing could save lives, first time parents should consider it as an additional or supplementary tool in monitoring their child’s temperature rather than the main device. Admin edit: Removed link to image since site is no longer allowing outside pages to show image.they did that thing with cars too...it changes colour depending in temperature...the front end is almost always the hotter colour though because of the engine.I think this is a more practical application of the car idea.Car idea is designed only for hot guys like myself Quote they did that thing with cars too...it changes colour depending in temperature Now you know when your car's running a fever... Quote Car idea is designed only for hot guys like myself Grin You must replace tires regularly, what with all the meltdowns... Extremely smart idea. |
