Microsoft pokes fun at the web itself.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsMFyo8DWs4&feature=player_embedded

Part of the Charlieeeeeeee video even made it's way into it. ANOTHER part fits into my Twitter post rant.

From here http://www.downloadsquad.com/2009/03/20/microsoft-pokes-fun-at-the-web-acknowledges-what-private-browsi/

Quote

Toward the end of the video above, several of the comedians tapped by Microsoft for the campaign also imply what everyone knows: the new private browsing mode in Internet Explorer 8 (and Firefox 3.5 and Google Chrome) isn't just for privacy advocates. There might be another reason people would like to surf the web without saving any cookies or other items that would indicate which web sites they've been visiting. It's not exactly rocket science, but it's interesting to see it (almost) acknowledged in an officially sanctioned video from Microsoft.

Pretty cool. Reminds me of those snake fireworks.

Ireland have just beaten WALES in the RBS Six Nations final game - the final score being 17-15.

http://www.rte.ie/sport/rugby/sixnations/2009/0321/ireland.html

http://www.rbs6nations.com/en/home.phpFair Play to you Lad.....
Good going !Thank you!

Amazing game. Had EVERYONE sitting on the edge of their seats right until the end.
Ireland scored the winning drop-goal with 2 minutes to go. Amazing. How old is the 6 Nations Tourney BTW ? ?I don't know........ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_Nations_Championship

Did I also mention that Ireland won the Grand SLAM?
It MEANS they won all 6 out of 6 games.

Whether I am using just the battery or have the power supply plugged in, when I turn the power on, the windows XP system does not load.  Instead, the computer starts to load - with a black screen - and then shuts off and repeats this over and over and over until I either take the battery out or unplug the power supply cord.

If I leave the battery in - it keeps trying to load then shuts off again and again.  I guess it would KEEP doing that until the battery was dead. 

This is a laptop?

How old is it, and what is its model number?It is about 3 years old.  The model number is PC - 434421 A  or maybe m5500i-R3?

I should ALSO include that I took the back off just to check where the wireless card was because the internet kept going on and off before this other thing started happening.  It didn't start shutting off and turning back on until after I put the back on.  I really did not do anything to any of the cards.  I just looked at it.  I did notice that the fan was not turning on right away.  Does it wait until it gets hot enough first? 

Is it by any chance still under warranty?

When you removed the back of the laptop, what is there? What hardware is visible?
If you cannot name them, feel free to post a PICTURE(s).

You may have accidentally hit something loose.I am having a similar problem with a presario Compaq laptop. model v6000. I at first had to remove the battery then replace it before it comes on. Then I started cleaning the memory card. it only worked for a Short while then it just when on the way you DESCRIBED.
 I am still searching for a solution.

dont you just love those? like the advair Asthma inhaler that increases the chance of asthma related deaths? Or the antidepressents that increase the THOUGHTS of suicide? got any more?How about the lists of side effects with almost every drug...cholesterol drugs that damage your liver, arthritis
drugs that cause stomache ulcers,  ulcer stuff that makes you constipated...and the one they'll mention last while talking really FAST..."may cause death". ALLERGY medications, "may cause sneezing, wheezing, coughing,shortness of breath..."

and I'm like *censored* other allergy symptoms are there?

and it goes on...

{internal bleeding, ruptured spleen, pancreatic CANCER, inverted vision, sleeplessness...)I remember seeing one for nail fungus that said don't drink grapefruit juice because it'll cause internal bleeding.  Nice choice, yellow nails or a bleeding ulcer.Wow! all these medicines are a lot of side effects! ROFL the allergies oneNow You KNOW why Nancy Reagan said "Just say NO to Drugs!"

All you have to do to Vote Earth is turn your lights out for one hour tonight, Saturday, March 28 from 8:30pm to 9:30pm local time, in your city. Your light SWITCH is your vote!

exactly! you send then 75 pounds worth of your garbage or something. Now it's their problem, AND they paid for the shipping! Oh, I see.  You can't really do anything useful with it.if you think about it, it's a good way to force yourself off mailing lists. If you send them 75 pounds of garbage that they paid the shipping for it's unlikely they'll want to continue sending you junk mail. A similar site owner to the 419eaters site had a section about junk mail responses. apparently the company wasn't PLEASED and threatened to sue. the owner immediately demanded the return of the 60 cents he accidentally dropped into the package, as well as reimbursement for the large amount of styrofoam packing in which he had placed the response, "thanks for the offer, but I'll pass".

a few weeks later he got a check for a little over 1.00$ from them. LOL.I get the "Please DONATE to Nigerian childran" SCAMS (spelled the way I put it). I've heard of people losing thousands of dollars to these sort of people, but I know better lol. Quote from: Aegis on May 25, 2009, 07:14:11 AM

My head + canned speeches + bookmarks

he meant canned peaches

whats canned speeches then

Canned speeches?

This is an example of canned speech for performing chkdsk:

Code: [Select]1. Click [b]Start[/b], click [b]Run[/b], type [b]chkdsk /f /r[/b], and then click [b]OK[/b].
2. At the command prompt, type [b]Y[/b] to let the disk scanner run when you restart the computer.
3. Restart the computer.
4. [b]Chkdsk[/b] will run.
You have it saved on your computer, so you don't have to type the very same thing over, and over, if someone needs instructions for running chkdsk.

he meant canned peaches

and you just go to geeks to go and download more for malware removal

I find this pretty hilarious....LOL

(1) Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.
(2) Five MINUTES: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.
(3) Nothing: This is the calm before the STORM. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.
(4) Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!
(5) Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to # 3 for the meaning of nothing.)
(6) That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.
(7) Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or faint. Just say you're welcome. (I want to add in a clause here - This is true, unless she says 'Thanks a lot' - that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say 'you're welcome' . that will bring on a 'whatever').
( Whatever: Is a woman's way of saying F-- YOU!
(9) Don't worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking 'What's wrong?' For the woman's response refer to # 3.I just read the WHOLE thing to my girlfriend...she didn't even crack a smile, but agreed with every one of them.Now, you know.....LOLThis explains the one time I heard something break into the kitchen window, yelled, "everything ok?" and got "I'm fine" back, heard a bunch of commotion, and then saw a bear with a garbage can on his head hobble past the living room window and head to the freeway.wow, bc.  MAYBE you should move to canada.  They have lots more bears for your girl to beat the crap out of Add "So..." 

And I'm so glad my girlfriend didn't see this...   Are you scared of your girlfriend?......LOL QUOTE from: paudashlake on March 28, 2009, 06:12:12 PM

Self-Explanatory....It would be a total piece of crap.... 

LinkIf Nintendo made Halo, it would have japanese-style characters and 2D graphics. HehSeveral nitpicks:

pac-man was created far before nintendo introduced the NES and as such is not a "nintendo" idea- I forget the original creator- Either atari or that namco.

additionally immediately after the "pac-man" reference it references an "RPG scenario" similar to Final fantasy. Of course the only RPGs that Nintendo has been involved in are the paper mario series as well as a squaresoft/Nintendo partnership with Mario RPG.


Additionally a purely unprofessional quirk that is far to obvious is the fact that the castle music in the area of 2:40 is clipped at the end, causing a cacophonic and displeasing discourse on ones auditory cortex.

as such due to these shortfalls as well as the fact that it appears to be cheaply made using gmod, which as we all know, while fun to mess around in, is far from a professional developer 3d animation program such as 3ds max or MAYA. It's far more suited for material such as this, however- blatant ripping of lines completely unrelated to the context in any way (such as the reference to SEVERAL "starfox 64" characters who *adjusts monocle* communicate with the other characters, asking them to do such fiendish things as "barrel rolls" almost oblivious to the fact that the craft they are flying is far less manueverable then a ARWING and would likely crash if a barrel roll was attempted. And of course we have Slippy expressing dissapointment, which takes off points not only because it is unnecessary (I mean, for gods sake, they JUST met them), but also because it involves slippy. Nobody likes slippy. Going back to the original introduction of the Star Fox speech bit, we find the main character, already referred to as "gal guy" in the introduction. This is a fatal flaw in that it destroys any form of immersion or engrossment in the video's plot as the VIEWER comprehends the auditory remarks- "who is fox? is gal guy really fox?" they think to themselves, only briefly being removed from their deep thought by the shrill cry of a certain baseball cap wearing, talking, high-pitched voice, whiny SOUNDING, female larynxed frog.

Aside from those very few nitpicks it was an entertaining piece, much like watching a bear take a dump or a piece of cheese spoil.



OMG- that was one of my BETTER ones. I mean seriously- adjusting my monocle! AWESOME MATERIAL.


EDIT: perhaps my true calling is as a movie critic?Probably so....but who voted for "It would be amazing and i probably will get beat for voting this" ?  If nintendo made halo then no 360s would sell. Nintendo would own the world!!

Three US prison employees have been sacked for demonstrating their stun guns by zapping children. Skip related content
Related photos / videos US jail workers fired for stun gun stunt More than 40 children were given electric shocks at three Florida prisons on April 23 - America's NATIONAL TAKE Our Daughters and Sons to Work day.

As part of demonstrations at two jails, children held hands in a circle, and one was shocked with the stun gun, passing the shock around the circle. At another prison, children were shocked individually.

The incidents led to the dismissal of three employees and the resignation of two others, the Department of Corrections said.

The children, ranged in age from 5 to 17, felt the shocks either DIRECTLY or indirectly, but none of the children were seriously hurt or taken to the hospital, the department said.

All of the children had parents who work for the department and some parents gave permission for their children to be shocked, but that did not excuse officers for using the stun guns, Department of Corrections Secretary Walter McNeil said.

He added: "We believe this behaviour is inexcusable. I apologise to the children and parents. None of these kids should have been exposed to these devices."
