Solve : Airport Security ftw!?

Answer»

Funny picture of airport security at its finest. Might be a good idea to also look at computer security if they're so PARANOID about people bringing liquids onto planes.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/[emailprotected]/755509753/Loads of those kind of stuff, still funny though.
I remember seeing one with the BSODAh, can you imagine:
Big BSOD on a huge flate-SCREEN monitor in an airport...

Indeed.
But apparently not.

I think I POSTED this before, but it's sort of relevant.

I remember when I was on a cruise ship, there was a big ol' "Page Cannot be Displayed" screen on their fancy LCD display displaying wait times

Solve : How old are you??

Answer»

I was looking through some of the posts and one of the posters said something that made me wonder how old he was. Then I looked at his profile and it made me feel old and dumb because he's a lot younger than I am and had tons more posts than me!
I also noticed someone was -4321 years old....
I know that there is another topic for stats and stuff, but there's 30 pages to look through and most of the posts in there are probably from people who only posted once. I didn't want to look through that. Sorry.

So I'll go first, I'm 23.
I am 16...

Im 18...going on 19 soon I will be 56 in September. PeckerWood is 106 years old poor

little old stupid bird.According to my profile, I'm 22.lol that's inconspicuous... ''according to my profile''...

''according to my profile, i am -4321 years old'' in reality, i am 9.Quote from: CBMatt on July 05, 2007, 11:56:08 PM

You're joking right? Nine years old? I didn't learn the word "inconspicuous" until I was 18, much less have 300 posts on a computer help forum.your intuition kicked in
no i'm not nine, but 15. turning 16 on the 1st of november.
but i did have close to 300 posts on a computer help forum (obviously not this one) when i was 9, and regularly used irc and other such chat programs from the age of 6.
i'm currently doing university work, but i'm legally obliged to stay in high school for now.
but you don't need my whole life story, i just figured that would clear any of your doubts.
thanks According to my profile...I'm 49...however, I may change that...to say...25.

Ya know what would really be nice is if we knew the average age of the users here.

I'm going to take a stab at it and say....hmmm....23.rght in the vital point there buddy.
you took the same stab i was going to, and i've concluded by adding the ages i can FIND on around 50 profiles that the average age is indeed 22 to 24
with the occasional old joker like Robert on here of course
things wouldn't be the same without him, or you for that matter.Im glad some younger people on here are more intelligent than me , proves the youth of today aint as stupid as its said on the news LMAO

Which rasies more questions about myself but i wont go down that line Quote from: reaper_tbs on July 06, 2007, 08:10:58 AM

11 years.So,I ain't stupid but, I love the lighter side of things.

I joined the army at 17.I got married at 18. My daughter is 36. My son
is 26. I quit school at 15 years old. I have a 17 year old grand daughter
and 3 other grand children.

My son is working for ProLogic.He hasn't got married or had a family
yet.He has 2 Degrees- A BS in Computer Science and one in I T.
He begins his masters next month.

Solve : This is sooo funny yet, could have been VERY SAD !!?

Answer» Michigan Man in Wheelchair Pinned to Grille of Semitrailer for 4-Mile Ride

Why did the 21-year-old cross the road?

Benjamin Carpenter ah humm...(Timmy) , 21, was crossing a Michigan highway in his wheelchair when he became stuck in a semitrailer's grille and PUSHED for miles before the unknowing driver was pulled over, police said on Thursday.

Carpenter escaped unharmed, saying, "It was quite a ride," police said.

Carpenter was attempting to cross on Wednesday when the light turned green and his wheelchair became hooked onto the front grille of the truck, which reached 50 mph during the 4-mile trip down Red Arrow Highway, Michigan State Police Trooper Michael Sinke said witnesses reported.

Carpenter was taken to a hospital as a precaution. He had been secured to his wheelchair by a seat belt.

Witnesses reported that the light turned green, so the truck took off, never seeing the wheelchair in front of him or the fact that it had attached to his front GRILL. When officers stopped the truck at a private BUSINESS, Carpenter was in a calm state.

"The man spilled his soda pop, but he wasn't upset," said Sgt. Kathy Morton of the Michigan State Police.

Sinke said when he arrived at the scene, the man told him "'Yeah, I'm fine. I just went for a little ride.'"

"He was surprisingly normal," Sinke said.

About 4 p.m. Wednesday, a caller told police dispatchers, "You are not going to believe this: There is a semi truck pushing a guy in a wheelchair on Red Arrow Highway," state police said in a release.

Authorities initially wondered whether the report was a prank call until others called with similar reports.

When the truck finally was stopped, the driver didn't believe officers until he stepped from his cab and saw for himself.

"When he saw us, he was like, 'What's going on?"' Morton said.

"The truck driver had no idea," Sinke said. "[He] was in a state of shock."

Paw Paw Police Department Office Manager Susan Millek said their department got the initial call around 3:30 p.m. and Sgt. Kirk Goodrich and officer Tim McMeekan responded to the call. McMeekan said the incident was labeled a car pedestrian accident and he was PREPARED for a scene MUCH worse than what he found.

"We were obviously relieved and shocked to see what happened," McMeekan said.

He said the family was notified within a few minutes and because the man is an adult, the department called to have someone pick him up.

Officers who responded to the scene said the fact that the man was unharmed made this story that much more unbelievable.

"Just the way he was uninjured. It’s just unbelievable," Sinke said. "Obviously someone was looking over him yesterday. I could go another hundred years in law enforcement and never see that again."

Solve : linking to other forums??

Answer»

Is it acceptable to refer people to another forum if the other forum would help them more?
I have linked people to other forums when I wasn't sure how to ANSWER them and am unsure if it is following the RULES...
I think it should be okay, but thought I ought to make sure before I get kicked out for decreasing traffic to CH.
If the forum has a post that helps answer their question it would be no different than referring the user to a web page that has an answer.

Of course that being said, simply replying to users directing them to another forum and not a direct post with an answer is not allowed because that would not be answering the users question directly.That makes sense. But wouldn't it be better to help them find a better PLACE to find their answer than just let them sit there with nothing to go on? I'm mostly referring to the web design forum. It seems like I'm the know-it-all of web design on the forum since not very many others are answering questions there. That being said, sometimes I'm not sure if I would be able to answer some of the questions but I do know that the guys on another forum could. I don't like to leave the op hanging like that if I know where to find better help.
In a WAY, linking them to a forum and telling them to ask a question there is like linking them to yahoo and telling them to ask there...
I'd assume that most people who do not find the answer to their question on the forum would immediately look ELSEWHERE including on another forum. If you don't know the answer to the question, I'd just leave the post alone and see if any other users have an answer to the question.

If users of the forum were to start just re-directing people who were asking questions to alternate sources if they did not know the answer every post would be: I don't know go to Google.com to find the answer.

I'll try to participate more in the web design section to see if I can help out some more.

Solve : Ahhhhh, MOM - it's just my wisdom teeth ;-p?

Answer»

WATERLOO (Jul 11, 2007)

Leejay Levene went to a Waterloo dental surgeon to have three wisdom teeth pulled.

While his mother settled into the waiting room, the Waterloo teen sat back in the dentist's chair and slipped under a general anesthetic.

Then something went so wrong that he was left struggling for breath. Soon, a call was going out to 911, and the anesthesiologist present for the procedure was trying to resuscitate him.

Paramedics, then doctors at Grand River Hospital tried everything, but by the next evening, the 18-year-old was dead.

Now, the Waterloo Region coroner, assisted by regional police, is trying to determine what happened to the healthy young man, who was undergoing a dental procedure routinely performed on patients his age.

"This is such an anomaly," Irwin Fefergrad, the registrar for the Royal College of Dental Surgeons of Ontario, said of Levene's death last Thursday.

"It's so unusual and rare. We are all in a state of shock and sadness. This is a safe procedure.''

Dr. Timothy Wallace, the oral surgeon performing the extraction, said the tragedy that occurred in his office is "once in a lifetime."

Wallace, who has practised for 32 years, would not discuss what went wrong, SAYING only that the surgery hadn't started when Levene got into trouble.

The emergency call from Wallace's office came in as someone "short of breath and unresponsive,'' said John Prno, the regional ambulance manager.

Within seven minutes, an ambulance arrived. Five minutes later a second ambulance with more advanced EQUIPMENT was on scene.

But when paramedics arrived, Levene's heart had stopped beating. They frantically tried to resuscitate the teen but couldn't.

According to Fefergrad, the registrar, someone then noticed a kink in the tube that was to supply oxygen to Levene. The tube was blocked.

At Grand River Hospital, doctors put Levene on life support. With HELP, his heart started beating again but his organs weren't functioning.

"We made the decision to disconnect," said Levene's father, Ron.

"I watched his heart fade away. Our life will never be the same. It's too short a life. He didn't do anything wrong.''

Dr. David Evans, the regional coroner, said that after his investigation, he can either make recommendations to those involved or call for an inquest.

"We are not allowed to point fingers."

Wallace said he has treated 12,000 patients who have had their wisdom teeth removed under general anesthesia.

Some oral surgeons, trained in anesthesiology, put their own patients to sleep, Wallace said, but he prefers to use an anesthesiologist, who comes to his Bridgeport office about twice a week to assist with surgery.

"I chose to utilize their services because it allows me to concentrate on the surgery,'' he said.

The anesthesiologist in Levene's case could not be reached for comment yesterday.

Leejay's surgery was set for 12:30 p.m. last Wednesday. His teeth were embedded in the bone, and in such cases, patients often prefer a general anesthetic, Wallace said.

Levene's mother, Shirley, said her son was nervous before the procedure, since he always breathed through his mouth and was concerned he would lose control of his breathing.

Shirley brought an apple, a granola bar and a book to the dental office, expecting to wait two hours before her middle boy was ready to go home.

But at 12:45 p.m., she heard the 911 call about a medical emergency.

"I started shaking. I knew,'' Shirley said in an interview.

Levene called Ron at work and the couple followed the ambulance to Grand River.

"We were afraid to go asleep Wednesday," Ron said. "He was lying there lifeless."

Aunts, uncles, cousins and Leejay's two brothers, Casey and Elli, who were called home from a camp in Algonquin Park, kept vigil by his bedside.

After many attempted medical procedures to bring life back to the teen's body, doctors in the intensive care unit declared him dead last Thursday at 6:24 p.m.

A study done 10 years ago, found that one in every 700,000 people died when given general anesthetic in a dentist's chair.

'A RARE OCCURRENCE'

Daniel Haas, a professor of dental anesthesia and pharmacology at the faculty of dentistry at the University of Toronto, said that overall, general anesthetic is safe, but it's not perfect.

"It's a rare occurrence that a tragedy happens . . . but it's not an impossible thing,'' he said.

Since Levene's death, the family is in mourning, accepting visitors during Shiva, a period of seven days of mourning in the Jewish faith. All four family members are wearing black ribbons for seven days.

More than 600 people attended Levene's funeral at TEMPLE Shalom on Friday.

Friends from camp, some from Halifax and family members from New York, Connecticut and Montreal arrived on short notice.

In lieu of flowers, the Levene family is requesting donations made to Temple Shalom in Waterloo or the intensive care unit of Grand River Hospital.

For now they don't want to remember Leejay as the victim of a tragic accident but as a peacemaker, honour student, clarinet PLAYER and a bass guitar lover.

Leejay Levene graduated from Sir John A. Macdonald Secondary School in Waterloo and was headed to the University of Toronto in September.

Once he finished his undergraduate degree, he planned to take a master's degree in architecture at Dalhousie University.

The movie buff was looking forward to a summer job at a local video store.

Shirley was starting to prepare herself for her son's journey to university.

"I used to say, 'what am I going to do when you're in university?"' she said with a smile. "He was sensitive to me being neurotic.

"I depended on him."

"Elli and I are the book ends and Leejay was the book. He was a loving brother,'' said Casey, 20.

The day before surgery, Shirley and Leejay were out doing errands and they drove by the humane society -- the same place Leejay volunteered once a week as a young teen.

Three years ago, Leejay brought home a stray cat from the humane society and the family kept him.

"Let's go in for old times' sakes,'' Leejay said to his mom.

For an hour, he went from cage to cage, petting cats and dogs, Shirley said.

She said she will miss her son's subtle sense of humour and how he always kept her informed on movies and music.

She goes to his bedroom and feels close to him. His school books and favourite music are still on the floor and his computer is turned on.

"It's comforting to come here,'' she said.

http://www.therecord.com/home_page_front_story/home_page_front_story_1096519.htmlThat is such a sad story. Just image, a person is there one minute and gone the next. Isn't it strange how something so simple that a lot of us have had done can change so many lives in an instant?
dude... you make the title sound liek it's a funny story... then you read it and wait for the funny bit at the end.. then at the end you see no funny bit... then you cry..

that's not what i did tho.. i just said.. ''hmm... that's not good..''
i'm such a tard loli expected this to be a joke. that stinks im afraid im gonna have my wisdom teeth out sometime nowwhen i was in the US Navy in the 80's I came home from work one day and saw my roommate leaning over a trash can spitting out blood... not pretty SORRY , then he said you think this is bad, pulled off his shirt and showed me the HUGE BRuise marks on his chest [emailprotected]! ~~ he had been heavily sedated during the operation ~~

The dentist / masochist must have had his foot braced down on his chest while yanking out his wisdom teeth for more leverage !!! funniest thing you ever saw lol what a way to lighten up the atmosphere in this ''room''...I just don't understand anesthesia for such a simple procedure.

Novacaine or, the equivalent is all anyone ever needs.

What a shame modern medicine kills another young person.i died from getting an overdose of morphine while in hospital once...
that sorta sucked... everything was green (through my eyes) for about three days, and i couldn't keep my balance. they revived me after having been dead for 22 seconds.
i think it's slack. doctors and nurses might just be getting slack.
but i'm glad we have them nonetheless.I figured it would be a funny story as well
Thats just terrible, it makes you wonder how such a thing could ever happen

Solve : the story of Unlovedwarrior?

Answer»

It was a dark and stormy night, so dark and stormy in fact it MADE *censored* itself look like a warm peacefully day. On the night in the local cemetery they was something stirring something from the depths of the earth. In the farthest corner of the place of death was a single grave mark “Ivan hasavithch” and underneath his name was a simple saying it almost seemed like a curse “ one day he will return but not in the form of a man. Splash! Splash! Is all you could hear it seemed like someone was walking towards the cemetery?
“Man why does everyone always pick on me?” Jim said “I wish there was someone or something that could help me.” The rain started to pour down harder and the thunder got louder it seemed as he came closer to the hidden grave. Jim suddenly tripped over what seemed to be nothing or was it something? He was cursing the mud and bad weather once he realized it cut himself on a rock on the grave. As he was slowly raising he thought he saw the marker move, but then he thought to himself he must have hit his head. He notice some blood on the dirt, so he stomped it, then started to read what the marker said out loud and started to laugh, “ what a stupid saying it doesn’t even make any sense”. With those last words came a loud rumbling sound and the ground under his feet started to shake. BOOM!! Jim fell back a few feet covered in even more mud. And out of the ground rose something Jim has never or never will forget.
The thing realized Jim was sitting there and slowly turned and started to walk towards him. Once Jim started to recover from the fall he realized that the thing was walking towards him. He looked WHITE from fear from what you could see as the rain started to wash the mud from his face, the look in his eyes was that of seeing something so horrible, so unbelievable, you could clearly see the difference from the rain running down his face and the sweat from the fear he was producing. About a foot away from him the creature stopped and just looked at him. After his eyes regained their focus the creature’s appearance was becoming clearer. The creature and on what seemed to be wearing some kind of knights armor, but there was something about this armor that was different from the armor you see in the museums, it had a much darker eviler sense about it.
The shield that was on his right arm was in the shape of a heart that was cracked down the middle and it had two handles hidden behind each half of the heart. The helmet kind of looked like a Spartan helmet but darker than any black Jim has ever seen, rounded top with a Mohawk of black horse hair. The chest plate had the same broken heart, but it was turned upside down. The pants seems to be some kind of flexible metal of which he has never seen before. The BOOTS went half way up his calf and were black with small spikes going down both sides and had one spike on the toe of the boot. The creature slowly reached behind him and drew a long black sword that seemed to be forever stained with what looked like blood.
Without warning the creature stabbed the sword into the ground right in front of Jim and started to slowly kneel down to right to eye level with Jim. What Jim saw was not the eyes of a man but balls of deep blood red that seemed to burn into his very SOUL. In a hoarse deep and inhuman voice the creature said “I am Unlovedwarrior and I was created from your blood and from the fear and hate from within your soul.” Jim tried to scream, but all that could out was, “w..h..a..t do you want from me”
Poor Jim... i just had to write 5 paragraphs for my english class jimmy's gonna get stabbed
good work buddy thanks. the teacher said surprise himwow nice story

Solve : Spotting A Spammer...?

Answer»

Quote from: The Saviour on July 07, 2007, 02:25:32 PM

Another issue...people have a hard time with CAPTCHA images...this is true. Especially if they are hard to read. All one has to do is simply contact Admin and notify them and the account can be manually activated. A spam bot will not contact the Admin asking for assistance...unless it's not a spam bot, but a human being.
True about spam bots not being able to contact via email or specially MADE submission field, BUT:
Any webmaster should have two... no, three goals:
Make a good site
Make a site with no errors
and most of all, make the site easy to use

Users with disabilities in hearing and seeing probably shouldent be using forums, but if they are, this causes more hassle.

The double CAPTCHA system is enough, but I don't think that we need to go that far

These are better solutions:

well i was banned from moviesfourmz for spamming , or what they call spamming anyway , story goes like this.......

I was looking for 3rd party links for people so they could watch movies and that on there and i posted about 20 odd links and the moderators nicked the links and posted them themselfs , how you ask well they use v.bulliten and they have disabled straight posting so the message goes to a mod before it goes on the fourm board itself....

well my saying is what goes around comes around , so i desided to POST the site everyone and i mean everyone gets there links from on the board itself , just one post with one link...banned

Thanks for the links i will have to check them out in a bit .... it wasnt right what that forum did but i aint to bothered about it at least i still have my pride lol ..... i was in the middle of watching heroes when they banned me , that didnt go down to well.....Hmm, that sucks

Speaking of which, I have to get back to doing my webmastering... and all the bots I DESTROY AND BAN!!!!
EVIL SPAM! DIE DIE DIE!There is a CAPTCHA system in the registration portion of the forums, which I'm sure does help with some of the SPAM that the forums could potentially get. Unfortunately, as mentioned above, there are some bots that are sophisticated enough (often using OCR type scripts) capable of getting around many of the CAPTCHA's in use today.

Thankfully the spamming issue is not really the big of an issue on the forums, and often anyone who attempts to SPAM the forums is DISCOVERED within an hour. My FEELINGS at this point is to keep the registration process how it is, I really hate (and I'm sure I'm not the only one) SITES that have an extremely difficult CAPTCHA that takes me (a human) a few attempts to get around. Personally I rather have an easy to use registration, especially for any new computer users who may be attempting to register.I agree.

I don't see it being that big of a problem here at CH.

I wonder if they are spam bots, posting random information, and then getting away with some cheat ineffective advertising. Probably just new users unfamiliar with Forum etiquette or just didn't read the Forum Guidelines.

Solve : British teen finds 65,400 Euros in playstation 2 bought off Ebay !!!?

Answer»
A British teen got more than he bargained for when he bought a PlayStation 2 on eBay.

When the package arrived at the 16-year-old boy’s Norfolk home, there were 65,400 Euros(approximately $90,200) inside, according to a BBC report. The police are now trying to trace the package back to the owner.

The boy reportedly received the PlayStation 2 on March 20. Two GAMES were missing, and in their place was the cash.

Norfolk Police have until September 22 to hold the money before the matter goes to court. Once in court, the boy’s family could apply to have the money returned to them.

"We know that eBay is a great place to pick up a bargain, although in this case, we agree that the contents of the parcel were somewhat unusual and we will assist with any inquiries the police may wish to make," an eBay spokesman told the BBC.

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,289809,00.htm
Nice . . . if only that happened to me, I could really use that cash.Same here! I could fix most of my current problems with that much money. I wonder why in the world the money was in there.Mmmm...the smell of a lot of money......that's a PRETTY smart way to GET rid of stolen money. except, i wouldn't have told anyone. that kid could've done it the immoral way and been guaranteed a heap of money like i would have, but, that's just me. i'm not the sort of person that keeps a wallet found in a supermarket though, as that's happened to me. but something like this is intentional.I dont think I could bare reporting something like that

I think I would take the $90,000 , BUY a new laptop, and put it into savings

Solve : Think your good at checkers ? I say not ~?

Answer»

Chinook, the unbeatable checkers-playing computer

Scientists at the University of Alberta report that they've built an unbeatable checkers-playing computer. Their machine, Chinook, has solved checkers: It proves that if two players play perfectly, making no mistakes, the game of checkers will result in a draw.

The proof required analyzing 500 billion billion checkers POSITIONS -- 5 x 1020 -- a COMPUTATIONAL process that began in 1989 and has been running on hundreds of processors almost continuously since. Chinook now knows everything about checkers, the perfect response to any move, and the best that any human can do is drive Chinook to a draw. You can NEVER win.

Checkers grandmasters have long suspected that perfect play would result in a draw, but until now, there has been no definitive proof. The first checkers-playing computer was created in 1963 by the ARTIFICIAL intelligence pioneer Arthur Samuel; the computer managed to win a single game against a human.

In 1989, Jonathan Schaeffer, who now heads the computer science department at Alberta, created Chinook with the aim of marshaling parallel processing and lots of storage to take on the world's best players. In 1990, Chinook became good enough to enter the checkers World Championships, and in 1992, it faced off against the world champion -- and the best checkers player who ever lived -- Marion Tinsley. Tinsley narrowly defeated Chinook. Then, in 1994, the pair had a rematch, but Tinsley took ill and withdrew in the middle of the game. He died of pancreatic CANCER a short while later.

I dont think i can dig myself back up from this mate , whats happened has happened now i got to try and find a way to make myself better because its very deppresseing ............ i aint been on my own in 2 years and now i am so its very very very hard.

I dont mind discussing some of my issues but theres a lot more to this than meets the eye and im saw people wouldnt understand.....i was explaining it to everyone because as everyone knows im never offline lmao and im trying to take my mind of things while im on here , i also wasnt online because i corupted my harddrive with illegal software but thats a whole other story.....I'm sorry, Tony. I'm about one of the most cynical people out there, so I don't know if I can be much comfort. But I can say that in my experience, some of the biggest emotional tragedies and obstacles tend to develop us in a positive way. Some of the worst things in my life have made me a better person. And even the crap I'm dealing with now are bringing about positive changes in me. Despite how painful the events are, I can already FEEL myself making better choices and handling things differently. I'm trying to better myself so I won't have to deal with these problems again.

So...as hard as this stuff is, just remember that something good will come of it. You may not recognize it at first, but it'll come.

As for your harddrive...I'm also sorry to hear about that, but let's hope you've learned your lesson when it comes to warez, eh?Yh on the plus i have a ton of space now 210gbs hehe.........so its all good.....i do know where your coming from and i really am thankful for that advice but ive heard that before and ive been liveing a bad life now since i was 16 and it doesnt appear to be stopping .... whats a guy to do ....... there are things you couldnt possbiley imagine ive tryed to do to stop this from hurting so bad.....its a dark spot in my chest and its eating and sucking the life out of me..... i asked the GP and a shrink i have got post traumatic stress and something else which i aint gunna say but it inflicks my actions on every day life .......... im gunna install AIM again chris we can chat on there tonight mate i will send ya pm with my screename .... i got shot of it because it was taking up space but im saw i can set aside some now.......

But on a darker note . all good things come to a end its something now that isnt just a fancy quote its true and its about time i understood that.Yeah, unfortunately, life isn't very easy for many of us. But if it was, I suppose it wouldn't be too terribly interesting. I mean, just watch a few sitcoms...most of the time, they're only funny when there's a bit of underlying tragedy. Alas, I must get some sleep because I've been up all night editing a book and I'm exhausted.

Yeh, having some tips on the motor specs (volts, etc.) and where to get one would be helpful. Some audio or text in that video to provide some details would also be helpful.

I think I'd just buy a small fan rather than try this DIY project; the time spent obtaining the materials and putting it together would be significant. I saw a 4 inch fan in WALMART for $4 or $5; I think that would be my choice for a small desktop fan.

You don't seem very calm most of the time, Braden.
Well, it's not "Gods are always calm", so I think I get away with that one It's, LIKE, being calm means you are godlike, but being godlike doesn't mean you are calm.well i'm always calm when i'm not angry. so when i'm calm i'm godlike, and when i'm angry i'm godlike anyway.

Solve : Smilies required!?

Answer»

OK, I'm making a game (which, as some people here would know, I do a lot) which involves the MAIN character (which is a SMILY/emoticon, but not a convential one) fighting and destroying lots of smilies, which happen to be basic enemies (more complex smilies will be used for bosses).

So, I'm wondering if anyone here would have some good smilies which I COULD use? Each smily has it's own unique ability (i.e. angry ones home onto you, angels heal you, devils power you up, grinning ones spawn new enemies once destroyed).

ALSO, for anyone interested, I can post up my beta version, which is a training room where you can hone your skills.

What about spirites?

Well, really, I could include anything I wanted to into the game, but I've kinda got a storyline and some good emoticon enemies already (in fact, the main character is the blue shooting guy from Trystan's site, just modified).what program you using anyways??? i would say google but alot of the smilly packs are infected loli'd guess he's using Game Maker.
Try looking for smilies from the new pack i INSTALLED on the Radius Forum.

I, personally, think those are the most annoying things on earth. They are inconvenient for new users, and they take too long.

Zylstra...

What tag things are you referring to?

On my site...I have setup a Support Request Form for all users to fill out if they're not quite sure where to post. This is optional...and only used if a user is unfamiliar with posting...however, it does make it easier for the user as well as staff.

New users also have the ability to fill out System Spec fields that are displayed in a drop down menu under their usernames as to make it easier for staff to determine information about the users computer. These fields, too, are optional and not required...however...it's a nice addition and not a requirement for registration.

Lastly...the Google tags that were referred to are vBCode used to encapsulate certain words or phrases to help "newbies" learn how to use the search engine. The Google tag is available within the user's posting and private messaging editors.

Still...I'm a little confused as to which tags you refer...

-SteveWell, thanks for the explanation
I guess I am thinking of something else, but it says "Tags" so THATS what my knowledge reverted to suddenly.

As I recall, on CH, we were going to consider using a System Requirements field, which would be optional...
So it's not required to post a problem in the Support forum, Steve?Not if you know where it should be posted...I didn't know that, thanks for the info!

i guess the line requirments were too urgent, i saw you on the other side duuuuude In the very first episode, Susan, the Doctor's Granddaughter claims that she made up the name TARDIS from the initials: "Time And Relative Dimension In Space." In later stories, it stands for "Time And Relative Dimensions In Space". In early episodes it was also referred to as "The Ship" and in some stories as a "time capsule". The Doctor has also been known to refer to his time machine fondly as "Old Girl".

Admin edit: Great show sorry had to remove the link, violation of copyright. Of course I'm assuming the copyright still is in PLACE with this old of a show. With DVDs being available I'm sure it is.Unfortunately this type of content would be considered illegal in almost all countries (especially the US). Yes the site is not hosting the content, but its still an infringement on copyright laws to redistribute copyrighted material in any FASHION without the written permission of the copyright holder.

Great site for being able to find old episodes you may have missed; however, I regretfully will have to edit the posts and remove the links posting to the site because its in conflict with the rules of the forum.

p.s. Voyager fan Its legal but its not excatly the place for it ............. some sites make link pages where they post 3rd party links to be directed to the sites breaking the copyright infigment....... so people have found a way to host them without looseing there sites!! i used TI have my own , but i had to shut it down No swet, admin guy....

The rules are tight round here !! Appreciate your understanding. I don't want the forums to appear like it's ran by a bunch of Nazi's, just trying to keep the forums friendly and legal for everyone. So there is no fear of not being able to participate in the forums at home, work, or at school anywhere in the world. Is it ok for people to pm me ? regaurding this matter ?? Although I'd prefer users follow the same rules that apply to the forum in their private messages. I do not monitor private messages, if someone ask you a question and you wish to answer it you're welcome to do it. However, if any PM message is reported to me that disobeys the forum rules I'll TAKE action.understood Boss man

Solve : Peter Answers?

Answer»

Fun website for everyone.

Peter Answers is a fun website that is sure to trick all your friends and family. The site resembles a virtual tarot reading website where you ask the website any question and it mysteriously seems to KNOW the answer to all questions. What makes this site work is as you appear to be typing: "Peter, PLEASE answer the following question:" in the petition box you first press a period (.) on the keyboard and type the answer to the question you're going to ask, as your typing the answer it looks like you're typing the petition. Once you're done typing the answer you press a period and finish the petition. Next, you type the question you've already have secretly typed the answer to and the person watching you will be amazed when the website displays the answer you typed.

http://www.peteranswers.com/

Peter,please answer the following question..... I don't quite get it Im on the brink of finding this peter !!! Its okay Comp guy this peter is a big fraud, i asked him a few questions he is just tryin to be a smarty pants Yeah I know Ivy, I was just trying to understand what Nathan was saying about tricking your friends... didn't quite understand that part Quote from: Comp Guy on September 19, 2007, 11:00:45 PM

Yeah I know Ivy, I was just trying to understand what Nathan was saying about tricking your friends... didn't quite understand that part
Ok, you press period (.), and then you start writing your asnwer in the petition box. The sentence fills itself out for every letter you press, and you press period (.) again to stop writing your answer, and complete the petition. Then you type in the question, and Voila!, Peter has answered!

My brother was amazed by this; he thought it could read my mind... Thanks Dark Blade ,even i understood it now. thanks Peter,please answer the following question.....If you will
my rabbit.

Gee thanks Nathan for a new 'LOL' thread.

Love,

Bicycle Bob..... I must be dense! I still don't understand! Could you give an example?In this example lets say I'm fooling someone else who's watching me on the COMPUTER that has blond HAIR.

1. Go to: http://www.peteranswers.com/

2. Click the Insert petition box and then press a period (.) on your keyboard and then type the answer as shown below.

Type: You have blond hair.

As you're typing the above answer it actually will appear to the person watching you that you're typing: "Peter, please answer the following question:" It is important that you end it with a period to let the website know when you're done typing the answer. YOU must start the petition with a period.

3. Next type the question in the Insert question box. In this example you'd type something like the below example.

What color of hair does Nathan have?

It should then list the answer you secretly wrote earlier. In this case it would answer "You have blond hair". You could make it seem even more amazing by asking harder questions such as what is Nathan's phone number or what is his address, or just ask the user what question he or she wants and then answer it.

Punctuation is important (as it always should be). You must end your petition with a colon and your question with a question mark. Press enter after the question to submit it.
I got it to work (now that I finally understand it). Maybe it's because I'm a blonde. Thanks a lot Nathan for this koooooooool site ...(peter pllllleeease answer).
I realised there is nothing better in the world than to see my baby sisters eyes filled with surprise everytime Peter tells what her fav food, her best friends name , her pets name .
