Solve : bye?

Answer»

Bye for the summer everyone.  If I am lucky I might be able to go on a little but probably not.  So bye Come on, my friend....can't you talk to your folks?well, where ever you're going...take it easy...have a good summer 

please log on occasionally   



I hate good-byes..... I can't take it no more....I gotta go!! computeruler, have a great summer. Hopefully you'll be back soon if you're REALLY gonna miss the company here  He's not going anywhere.
He got busted by his parents for getting "B" in Spanish.... Quote from: Broni on June 19, 2009, 11:06:22 AM

He's not going anywhere.
He got busted by his parents for getting "B" in Spanish....

you must know something we don't   ....share with us  B in Spanish = no computer for a whole summer....
I'd say little bit harsh...On the surface, it seems harsh, but we don't know the whole story.

My own experience, growing up, was that I'd better come across with the good grades in the subjects in which I was capable of those good grades.

I see both sides of this, but I think a "B" is good enough...it's not like he brought home the proverbial one-legged A.    Quote from: Aegis on June 19, 2009, 03:30:07 PM
it's not like he brought home the proverbial one-legged A.   
True...a B may be a bit harsh, but it could actually be a C+ that he got bumped up to a B-, but the parents found out...that would be worse.gees, so he really did get in trouble?   I'd say a B in Spanish is pretty good...

I would have gotten a reward for that, not punishment  Quote from: blockHEAD on June 19, 2009, 05:26:25 PM

Reward? My mom would just say "You should be getting at least A-."

Kids in my class get "report card money"...as long as they don't fail a subject, they can rack up to $50 per subject.It's all depends on the parents I guess.....just don't grow up beating yourself up for being a failure, if you are getting B's  cause that's just ridiculous.

Some kids probably grow up with serious confidence problems because of this---the parents Quote from: blockHEAD on June 19, 2009, 05:35:46 PM

B's are the standard (or "the BAR")...technically getting 100% on a test STILL gets you a B. If you "go above and beyond" the standard described by the government incharge of your education, you get an A (- or +).I Didn't even get a single A in school until Grade 11. That and the subsequent YEAR, I was on the honour roll, though.

a C is the average. C+,B and A are all higher.don't mean to hijack, but how does one gets some of those cool looking full motion graphics to appear in there posts, like computeruler's and some of the other MEMBERS I've seen?

Solve : Some people...?

Answer»

A recent Reviw posted newegg for a Heat Pipe CPU cooler ....note the User's experience level:

Quote

Core i7 User
Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg 4/8/2009 3:01:24 PM Wow, Just wow


Pros: Only $40, not $70.

Cons: Okay, where do I begin. In order to fit this cooler into my case I broke off the top fin and sawed off the tops of the heat pipes. What I saw inside shocked me. Instead of full copper heatpipes, they were hollow on the inside with a thin layer of copper. I loaded up my system;
Stock Heatsink Idle: around 35 degrees c idle, load 85.
New (better) heatsink: reaches 70 degrees c idle, reached 110 degrees c before I pressed the button to turn it off.

Other Thoughts: This is a piece of cheap hardware and I don't know why it did not work as splendidly as everybody elses did. I hope that, if you're are still buying this, that it works better for you. The worse part is I don't know if the manufacturer will honor the warranty due to the modifications I MADE.
OK, I'm the guy who will oftentimes say, give the users a break, but this makes me, well...

I wanna be there when he tries to "fly" the return under warranty.  Some users get like that:  legends in their own minds for whom the laws of physics no longer apply.  Get a FAN / heatsink to fit the case?  Not me!  I'll modify it!
I changed the surface area of the heatsink -- why doesn't it work correctly??      Heat Pipes contain inert gas to help them cool....i'd say at the point in time he picked up the hacksaw all bets we're off...OK - I just LEARNED something, too -- hence, the "thin copper" plating...because it left space for the inert gas... 

It's even worse than I thought.   

Excuse me while I get the otoscope to CHECK for the inert gas levels...between my ears!    The doctor muttered something about, "off the scale..." and "New England Journal of Medicine..." 

...maybe I'll be famous!   

Yes, it's frustrating when parts don't fit, but one should only take modifications so far -- best to sometimes wait the turnaround time to return and receive new parts!Find another Doctor if the prognosis isn't what you were looking for.... Quote
Find another Doctor if the prognosis isn't what you were looking for....

LOL!  Yes, I've had plenty of coworkers, in the past, who seemed to know these doctors who would come up with prescriptions for whatever they seemed to need...time off being the more popular of the non-pharmecuetical choices.

Now, I just need to find a doctore who'll declare me a genius!  That'll show that BC_Programmer!   your just checking to see if I'm paying attention, aren't you?  "Ok... so I bought this heat sink... yeah... and I hacked it up into little pieces... yeah... I don't understand why it doesn't work though."

You know, I'd  hate to say it, but... there are some people out there that there's just no hope for.Quaxo i somehow knew youl'd Love this one...... I once mailed a cat to my fictitious aunt flo.

Solve : Interesting Facts?

Answer»

Bloomberg reported yesterday,

“The stimulus PACKAGE the U.S. Congress is completing would raise the government’s commitment to solving the financial crisis to $9.7 trillion … enough to send a $1,430 check to every man, woman and child alive in the WORLD."

It’s 13 times what the U.S. has spent so far on wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, according to Congressional Budget Office data, and is almost enough to pay off every home mortgage loan in the U.S., calculated at $10.5 trillion by the Federal Reserve.”

I think you mean... "disk"  Typo or something on your mind?

Blame the SPELL checker.   
Maybe I should have said flexible diskette.
The spell checker seems to understand that.
Who wrote this spell checker? Has a warped mind.  maybe you accidentally scared away the OP...


Now anyway, so the question is are they needed anymore?

They are wanted in some situations, but often appear in undesirable scenarios, thus doing damage to the owner's LIBIDO.

That applies to both the type and disks as well, I suppose.

Solve : What do you think??

Answer»

What do you think of the new avatar??Gift certificates first, THEN I'll tell you Kind of makes me sad but other then that it is OK.

Let me explain why it makes me sad before before any one thinks I am completely nuts.

The eye is blue and my daughter has bright blue eyes. I am currently in Angola and she is in Louisiana. So when I saw the bright blue eye it made me think of her which in turn made me think of my little boy and my wife and that in turn made me think of how much I miss them and can't wait until the 4th gets here so I can see them again.

So you see any time I think of having to be away from them I get sad. Quote from: Broni on February 18, 2009, 08:16:19 PM

It seems you just can't post enough of these STORIES to get the word out to everyone.

Full story http://www.windsorstar.com/Leamington+loses+Nigerian+scam/1173799/story.html

Quote

A Leamington man has fallen prey to international scam artists who strung him along for more than a year with the promise of millions in cash, but ultimately bilked him and his family of $150,000.

John Rempel said he quit his truck driving job, lost friends, borrowed money and crossed the globe in pursuit of a non-existent inheritance, after he was contacted by e-mail in what is known as a Nigerian 419 scam.

Rempel said he borrowed $55,000 from an uncle in Mexico and his parents gave him $60,000 on CREDIT to cover fees for transferring $12.8 million into his name.

Wow! I think everyone needs to be enformend of this stuff.  Didnt his family wonder why he needed so much money?Hey compruler...I didn't know, you live in Leamington i do?Should be Lemming -ton Quote

Solve : Mcrowaving Water? Be careful!?

Answer»

A 26-year old man decided to have a cup of coffee. He took a cup of
water and put it in the microwave to heat it up (something that he had
done numerous times before). I am not sure how long he set the timer
for, but he wanted to bring the water to a boil. When the timer shut
the oven off, he removed the cup from the oven. As he looked into the
cup, he noted that the! water was not boiling, but suddenly the water
in the cup 'blew up' into his face. The cup remained intact until he
threw it out of his hand, but all the water had flown out into his
face DUE to the build up of energy. His whole face is blistered and he
has 1st and 2nd degree burns to his face which may leave scarring.

He also may have lost partial sight in his left eye. While at the
hospital, the doctor who was attending to him stated that this is a
fairly common occurrence and water (alone) should never be heated in a
microwave oven. If water is heated in this manner, something should be
placed in the cup to diffuse the energy such as a wooden stir stick,
tea bag, etc.., (nothing metal).

General Electric's Response:

Thanks for contacting us, I will be happy to assist you. The e-mail
that you received is correct. Microwaved water and other liquids do
not always bubble when they reach the boiling point. They can ACTUALLY
get superheated and not bubble at all. The superheated liquid will
bubble up out of the cup when it is moved or when something like a
spoon or tea bag is put into it.

To prevent this from happening and causing injury, do not heat any
liquid for more than two minutes per cup. After heating, let the cup
stand in the microwave for thirty seconds! before moving it or adding
anything into it.

Here is what our local SCIENCE teacher had to say on the matter:
'Thanks for the microwave warning. I have seen this happen before. It
is caused by a phenomenon known as super heating. It can occur anytime
water is heated and will particularly occur if the vessel that the
water is heated in is new, or when heating a small amount of water
(less than half a cup).

What happens is that the water heats faster than the vapor bubbles can
form. If the cup is very new then it is unlikely to have small surface
scratches inside it that provide a place for the bubbles to form. As
the bubbles cannot form and release some of the heat has built up, the
liquid does not boil, and the liquid continues to heat up well past
its boiling point.

What then usually happens is that the liquid is bumped or jarred,
which is just enough of a shock to cause the bubbles to rapidly form
and expel the hot liquid. The rapid formation of bubbles is also why a
carbonated beverage spews when opened after having been shaken.'

According to: http://www.snopes.com/science/microwave.asp, it can happen.
well, looks like this guy wasn't paying attention during science classes...Stri the water before you start heating it.
 Place the cup off center on the turntable. 
Use the proper time / power setting.
Don't bring it close to you face.
Be careful whenyou remove the cup from the unit..

So true...


actually, another solution for those die hard microwaved coffee ppl is to put something- anything, sugar, cream, instant coffee, etc into the cup before placing it into the microwave. This will give the bubbles a place to form so that the liquid may boild at the proper temperature.they TESTED this one on Mythbusters...and it is true, when you microwave water with impurities it boils and when you microwave it without impurites it Super-heats and when you drop in say a fork(what they used) it explodes.Well, I've been heating water in a microwave for years.  I have a coffee maker but I still use the microwave if I want hot water for tea.  Obviously, care much be exercised in setting the proper time, and the proper time varies by microwave.  My microwave oven is over 20 years old and is not as powerful as newer ones, so it takes longer than 2 minutes to heat a cup of water.  Clearly, the user needs to be familiar with their microwave to use the right SETTINGS

Hmm, impurities vs. no impurities, for the same length of time, right? So, how are we to know whether our the water we've chosen to microwave has impurities?  Most city water supplies probably have some impurities, so that fact can probably be assumed.  But, what about purchased bottled water?  Can we assume it has no impurities? I doubt that's a safe assumption.  So, I'd like to see more detail on this.  You said Mythbusters says, "... when you microwave it without impurites it Super-heats and when you drop in say a fork(what they used) it explodes."  But, again, heating for how long?  If you only heat it for 20 seconds, can it still explode?  I don't think so.

Not really

Pure water has a boiling point of distilled water is higher than tap water, or water with impurities.
If the water was distilled and the microwave heated the water to just below boiling point, exposing it to impurities would bring its boiling point down to below its current temperature, causing a massive release of energy and bursting into steam.

The ? is often used as a ANYTHING character.
Bur it allows only one character.
So, I will start. This first is A
Maybe the A stands for Anarchy.

Now who will take the next letter?B stands for Blurple.C stands for Carelessness. PRO CSS PLAYER? NEED A CLAN? WANT TO PLAY WITH ONLY THE BEST?

Translation:

"Because we are not trying to go bankrupt, you have to cough up, besides, whats a few bucks between us friend?"

Sup never seen you on here?

and anyways Ive seen signs like this in local stores....

I hope this Economic crysis goes away.I've been here for a long time, just deleted my account and re-created it, won't say why. stupid


BestBuy blows Circuitcity away.

Bestbuy even has better prices than the circuitcity blowout goingoutofbiz sale across the street from them, in my area.Now I remember why I hate Best Buy.

I think that's arrogant and "backhanded" (an insult in disguise).

Best Buy customers = revenue stream.Tweeters went out of business last month. Compusa left the state a few months before Tweeters, and a few others are gone.

OfficeMax or Office Depot.. cant remember the name is also closing stores in our state.

As for Circuit City.. they were kind of late to do lowest price guarantee.

I guess the problem I had with Circuit City is when you walk in, it does not really feel like a major electronic store. If you walk in the place is semi dark and the Televisions seemed to be all in a small part area.. I didn't think they really had to many diversity of choices. their comptuer sections were 1 or 2 sections.


Compare to Bestbuy. - Loud very loud, and their stores are pretty bright, Alot of diversity, but terrible customer service... well not their customer service department... but trying to get help with something.. They just stand around and TALK and not help customers unless you ask them for help. They have alot of things, but honestly I think some things are sort of over priced.. even for their generic products ( Dynex ) I mostly get generic products for my older computers and I must say, $20.00 for a keyboard... I remember buying one from Compusa for $10.00.. It didn't have the fancy audio buttons but I didn't care, don't need them anyways.


Also remember it is important to put those signs up.. PEOPLE of america are SUE happy. If they do not put those signs up.. someone somewhere will sue for improper advertisment or misleading.

If you watch enough television, you notice that ad's you once saw in a week are gone the next, just like that and something else is up.

Thats why people with circuit cities in town do not see ad's with stores saying Lowest prices guarantee anymore!Not really stupid. Circut City has below wholesale prices on many items. There is no way to win price matching below wholesale. The Best Buy fliers say the will price match their competitors. It's CYA.... Quote
I guess the problem I had with Circuit City is when you walk in, it does not really feel like a major electronic store. If you walk in the place is semi dark and the Televisions seemed to be all in a small part area.
Yeah, I noticed that two, and I have poor vision.What their really saying is, "due to the circuit city liquidation, we still require you to liquidate your WALLET."
Honesty is the best policy I sayAt LEAST if your honest, you can't be sued in most cases. Like where doctors put it in a point of fact manner on the paperwork that you may get screwed by having them work on you, but you dismiss them of any such liabilities. Quote
cases. Like where doctors put it in a point of fact manner on the paperwork...

Be carefull  David, you don't look to be in perfect health.Even when they were a GOING concern i found it very rare that something would be cheaper at Circuit City than elsewhere...except 62" Plasma TV's...but how often does one buy one of those ? ?I don't see what's so wrong about this.  Best Buy shouldn't have to suffer because of Circuit City's failure.  As Circuit City approaches its final days, they're going to try desperately to get rid of their products, which will involve major sales.  Most stores around here going out of business are having 80%-off sales.  If Best Buy tries to compete with that, they're just going to put themselves out of business.  Now that would be stupid.

They're not conning people out of money (that's Geek Squad's job) and it would be terribly unfair to expect them to match liquidation prices when they are not liquidating.  Besides, it's their business and how they run it is up to them.  I didn't even know that they ever matched prices to begin with; this is the first time I've ever heard of Best Buy doing such a thing.  Not that it matters much anyway, because mostly everything at Circuit City is terribly overpriced.

Why or why not?They are best when taken together.Want to know something about Marijuana that your school probably failed to teach you?

It removes your motivation in life.
I've seen this happen far too often. People get into the habit of just doing it without thinking, and they get stuck in that state. The drug becomes a safe place to go. You should look at how many people use Marijuana who go to college, complete college with the DEGREE they intended, and what kind of college they went to.
Look at how many of them have jobs they enjoy, and how much they end up making.

Also, it is a gateway drug. This, most schools do teach you.
You think Marijuana is safe all the sudden, and your brain, a bit dumber at that time, decides: "METH!" all the sudden...


People who become alcoholics end up with motivation problems as well.
Also, alcohol is a depressant, meaning, EVENTUALLY, it WILL make you sad after a bit too much. Then you vomit, manage to make a baby, have a 24 hour HEADACHE, finally fall asleep for 17 hours, and wake up RELATIVELY well again. One month later, you receive a letter with DNA test results, and child support payments to make. Not worth getting drunk, in my opinion. Quote from: Zylstra on February 10, 2009, 09:42:57 PM

Also, it is a gateway drug.

Only for certain personalities I think- just so happens that that personality is more likely to try other drugs anyway, having nothing to do with the fact that they smoked marijuana. Following this same logic one could say that cigarettes is a gateway drug as well and Tea and coffee (or caffeine, basically) is a gateway drug to COCAINE.

Quote from: Zylstra on February 10, 2009, 09:42:57 PM

about 90%.


Actually, come to think of it I think Alcohol causes a lot more problems then marijuana. Warranted, a lot of people who do marijuana cause problems, but at the same time it's not the drug that makes them douchebags, they are simply that way by nature.

You don't hear about husbands beating their wives when they're stoned, after all.

Without first-hand experience with them you really cannot form anything but a subjective opinion on the subject. Then again I've never smoked marijuana so I really can't be subjective on that; and I really don't drink often if at all so I guess I'm not qualified there either. Oh well.  Its still not very healthy, either of them. Quote from: Zylstra on February 10, 2009, 10:29:49 PM

uh, no. these 10's of billions of cubic feet of co2 emmissions annually emitted into the atmosphere globally, are trapped and assist in the composition of the infamous greenhouse gas effect.

GREAT ,somebody else who actually believes that a politician can suddenly become an environmentalist. Does NOBODY remember the 2000 election between Gore and Bush? I recall NOTHING mentioned by this so called "environmental scientist" about the environment or anything of the sort. In fact, it almost seemed as if when he lost the election- he needed some way to regain attention... what better way then to latch onto the emerging idea that Co2 actually get's trapped and acts like a greenhouse gas.


The question is one of molecular makeup. Co2 has an atomic weight of 12.011. Oxygen has an atomic weight of  15.9994. So the weight of a Carbon Dioxide molecule can thus be induced at 44.0098.

oxygen contains TWO atoms per molecule- so it weighs in at just under 32 in atomic weight. Nitrogen, making up over half the atomsphere, is also a duplex-molecule, with two 14.0067 atomic weight atoms comprising each molecule- making for just over 24 in weight. Considering the rest of the atmosphere (Argon, other inert gases, etc) make for less then 1-2% of the atmosphere, we will not take them into account for this analysis:

Carbon Dioxide:44.0098
Oxygen:            31.9988
Nitrogen:           28.0134

Note the differences in mass? Also realize that heavier air will sink? One can thus induce that the Co2 will SINK (regardless of it's temperature at emission- it will reduce to at least the same temperature as the surrounding air, being subject to gravity just as much as the other gases... but weighing more on account of it's heavier atomic makeup).

Co2 is about 0.038% of the air.


the Earth is 12742 km in diameter. the stratosphere extends 50KM. so, using the sphere volume formulas(V=(4/3)*(PI)(r) cubed, we get:


1083206916845.75 KM cubed. (volume of the earth)


and, we take the height of the atmosphere, get the volume of the larger sphere that contains it, and SUBTRACT the earth from that value:

1108910814907.98 km ^3 for volume of earth+troposphere and stratosphere

1108910814907.98 - 1083206916845.75= 25703898062.23

so  25703898062.23 kilometers squared for the volume of our atmosphere. we take 0.038 percent of that:

25703898062.23 *0.00038= 9767481.2636474

so then, the volume of all the CO2 in our atmosphere is



9767481.2636474 kilometers cubed. Seems like a lot? Well, let's see how thick it would be. we add this value to the volume of the earth...

 1083216684327.01 for the volume of Earth + CO2 in atmosphere. we reverse this using the Radii formula, to get the radius of the earth + all the Co2:

6371.01914944568


remember the radius of the Earth? it's 6371.

So then, all the Co2 in the atmosphere would form a layer around the earth about 10 meters high. Not exactly the huge amount that al gore wants us to think.


The lesson learned here?


Don't rely on a politicians answer for anything mathematical. Their entire career is built upon lies... In order to get to the top, they simply piles lies on top of each other until they can make it. Not exactly the type of person I think is in it for the good of everybody else.

And of course... this is assuming my math was right. I did it twice, so I believe I've got it down I mean 1/2 the bark has wood on it.  They dont need to take off that much.  They could also usew the branches and bark for mulch or somehtingTo add to my previous post:

how much Co2 does every person - No, every mammal - breathe out with each breath? multiply that by a billion to get approximate amount of Co2 added to the air by people. every few seconds. these "greenhouse gases" from industry and so forth are a drop in the bucket compared to the combined exhalation of every single air-breathing creature on the face of the planet. Saying the Earth cannot compensate for such a tiny fraction increase is ludicrous.


EDIT: LOL, just realized I haven't made a single on-topic comment.

Looks like it's more for logger entertainment then anything. Would probably be more practical to send it, bark and all, to a mill. This would have the added benefit of protecting the wood during it's travel. (via the bark)

I'll probably go see it when it comes out on September 9th of this year. Assuming there are no delays or anything, I'm really looking forward to Terminator 4 coming out this May though...That looks pretty cool. I love Tim Burton movies.
What are those little guys supposed to be?Very interesting.
Not sure exactly, looks LIKE somehow we (humans) managed to destroy the WORLD, somehow the little guys got replaced to do something. I'm wondering if the green color is a hint at a possible nuclear war that took place. Dunno for sure, looks interesting though.

Solve : Post only if your drunk?

Answer»
Sorry but its taken me almost 10 minuytes to do this, i was very drunk at the time

Every body should feel frree to add to this post cuz some times its very good and stuuff

So any body who is drunk vcan come on this thread avnd post whatecer they like cuz SOMETIMES its great i dont expect this post to go on for tha t long but ,hey, who cars, eer cares
I just thouhgt it would be funny if peple post stuuff like "i cant find my hard drive" and it was ,like, "never mind crack open two boottle s of wine and drink it and every thing wil  be all rihgt" that s as good as answer as any

Sorry i was very drunk at the time.

God my speling is good

Sorry again im gonif to bed night nightSome how I didn't find this funny and a waste of time and space.
Do you think it maybe because I'm sober?  Silly guess but I drive sober too. I guess I'm just old fashioned!
I'm pretty hammered. It's taken Vista 8 hours to find out that it can't load onto a USB drive. that that 8hours i spent drinking £40 WORTH of union priced alcoho.l so i don't care if it can't install i'll do it some other day. n/m anyway nice to meet you. and hollu hardacre! she's hot....the colours are like sychadelic and stuff.
Yes I am now, Sorry about the post, it seemed like a good idea at the time.

Anyone can feel free to join in though. I find it funny that even though the post is called "Only post if your drunk", that the tee-totalers have to join in to make a point 'I dont drink, i think it's an unnessecary evil, blah blah blah'

If you dont drink, START your own thread and leave this to the intoxicated. my head hurts.....I wrote a note to myself once, when I had drank too much. I think is said something like, "I am drunk" and the rest was unintelligible, except for discernable references to "mice" and "govments".


I found it again when I was sober quite some time later- and thought, "how quaint".

Also am I the only one whose grammar,punctuation and spelling are UNAFFECTED by my blood alcohol?You're not the only one.
My spelling and grammar suffer, but I correct it . . . just takes longer after a few.
I once wrote a note to myself on my phone after a few drinks, and spent 5-10 minutes laboriously correcting all the errors I made (I have a Blackberry, so the keys are quite small).  Didn't get me anywhere, I DELETED it straight after that.
We could turn this post into "Stupid things you've done when your drunk" etcreddevilggg- your first entry would have to be "created this thread"

How do you tell if you're drunk ? ?

When you get up off the bar stool to use the bathroom and the floor wont stop moving from side to side, then your probably drunk.

If you suddenly feel like it would be a great idea to call up your boss at two in the morning and tell him exactly what you think of him, then your probably drunk.


If you create a silly topic and think its a good idea, your probably drunk.[hic] giveeeeeee mmmmeee aaaaa hom among the guuuuuuuum twees.. [hic] with lutz of plum twees, [hic] *puts hand around kangaroo* why hi gorgeous

Solve : windows 7 queston?

Answer»

im doing this for a report on current events for a class and i cant find this queston abut windows 7 (my ARTICLE on current evets is on windows 7) i need to know, is windows 7 backboned by dos(meaning does windows still use dos for there newest os, windows 7)?

like when you start the BETA does command promt come up (or full on dos?)Homework? No can do.its a really really crchal queston on my homework i really need this info or there will be a big gap in my homework (and i need the grade)Sorry.Windows has not had a DOS backbone since Win98SE...
But as kpac said...the answers are out there.Why is this locked? No idea...unlocked.Well anyways, homework? Do it yourself!!srry i could not really find that infoalso what i ment was does it still dos boot or does it go strait into windows?patio already answered this question. Why do you insist on asking it OVER AND OVER AGAIN?I thought ME still had a DOS shell underneath? It was W 2000 and up that ran NT based, was it not? Quote from: Kurtiskain on February 02, 2009, 08:48:56 PM

I thought ME still had a DOS shell underneath? It was W 2000 and up that ran NT based, was it not?


True. So Patio's statement was a bit inaccurate.

Regardless- Windows NT 3.1,3.5,3.51,4, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 are all based on the NT core which abandoned DOS code long ago... (Win NT 3.1 1992).

The fact that a properly constructed google search (IE: without spelling errors) would bring this up KIND of deflates the "I could not really find that info" argument.

I short... it's a stupid question.

Oh wait a second... there are no stupid questions....WinME in fact was the first so called "hybrid" of a DOS backbone in that it was the experimental phase of the command prompt gist of the Windows experiment and an effectively crippled version of DOS 6.2.
Although all features of the old version of DOS were CARRIED over some were compromised in the fact that they would run from the command prompt INSIDE Windows but not in full DOS mode...
This was the beginning of the end so to speak.

You could however cancel out these shortcomings if you installed DOS 6.2 first then WinME...then everything worked as it should.
They actually had the nerve to label it as DOS 7.0 which really only existed as vaporware.

Solve : Opening a Hard Drive and removing its insides?

Answer»

Thanks to a new hard DRIVE my friend gave me, I have now made this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEfA3FB-m6U
Opening a Hard Drive

Basically, in the video I open the hard drive and remove the platter, arm and magnet.

Why you might ask? Well, I'm trying to answer that too....


Oh, the last few seconds of the video are hilarious.  That was very cool.
What would've been better is if you would have put it back together and booted to it.
That would be amazing!


Quote

Oh, the last few seconds of the video are hilarious.
I don't get it. What's hilarious?CAMERA went boom?

Also, the hard drive was broken and missing its circuitry. Good idea though...Cool! I commented70% success rate? Huh?I have to admit, I laughed because I could tell you honestly had no clue what to say for a second after the camera fell. "No! They've seen me!"Haha yeah, and because the stand my camera was on collapsed.

I currently have another hard drive on stand by for JJ 300's idea.Oh, I've done that before, managed to corrupt the entire platter too

Er, wait, is that something to be happy about? Victory over asian hard drives? Is that a win? The question of a lifetime... I know victory over an asian car is a win... But  a hard drive?

Anyway, whats funner than harvesting the magnets is actually pulling them from the metal brackets. Its like there attached with steel superglue.

Oh, fair warning, there fragile, separate with caution unless you want magnetic flakes everywhere. And for the record, I've seen many drives with a single magnet. I think its cheaper if your coil is sensitive enough to north and south poles. Did you check out the video I posted with the musical read arm? Quote from: Carbon Dudeoxide on February 04, 2009, 05:42:03 AM

An author of a COMPUTER book I read did just that- apparently he teaches some hardware class- and he would have the drives open and sitting out of the PC, and the computers running from them. He was ABLE to add and remove the cover while the machine was running- and they still worked at least to the point he read the book. Of course- as he adds- he wouldn't trust it to HOLD anything important

Don't you think I don't know that by now? Lol. I've taken apart more hard drives than I can count. Only two of them had magnets that could slide off. The rest are stuck down with that glue.
I watched that video. Not bad. Thanks, like I said, I wasn't expecting my laptop to do much. I think I'll have to get a video of how I harvest the magnets sometime. I don't have torx bits, just a dremel

Solve : End of the world?

Answer»

do you belive it will happen on dec 21st 2012? I think there is a good possibility because the people that predicted this have been right about everything so far..
http://www.survive2012.com/Yes. Quote

The Long Count CALENDAR of the Ancient Mayans ends on Dec 21 2012. There isn't much information regarding what the Mayans thought would occur in 2012, but the consensus of opinion is that there will be great change. To some people this means a positive, spiritual change. Other, like myself, consider that a catastrophic event may have been predicted. Read more about the Mayan Calendar.
The Myans werent going to build a calendar to infinity... it had to end at some point.


Quote
nobody knows what will happen in 2012!
There is zero scientific evidence that anything will happen, but there are numerous things that could easily threaten the human species in the year 2012, such as a geomagnetic reversal, asteroid strike or supernova. Or soemthing more intimate, like a flu pandemic, or a nuclear war.
Notice how they incorrectly spelled "Something" wrong?
Anyways,
they cant predict 2010 either. Or 2011, or 2013! Or 2009! what a coincidence!
"Most Psychics cant see past 2012"
Gee. Only a minority of psychics are real.


There is little evidence pointing to it.
Stop reading conspiracies that have no backup, its not good for you, and makes you susceptible to government control when you believe so much without questioning.
I thought the world ended in Y2k.

besides, it's 2038 we have to worry about. when the C runtimes time_t overflows.

This was a good laugh though... read some of the links...

OMG...

I swear I couldn't stop laughing... People will believe anything, it seems.

and then I saw a blog about it... big surprise- comment moderation was enabled and all the comments were positive. "der... I wonder why?"


they are going to feel like they wasted their life when they wake up in 2012... and, just like in 2000- nothing was different.

I especially love the whole "psychics" line. I mean, most people can't see past the horizon, but nobody says there's nothing beyond it. 


I didn't even realize the mayans used the gregorian calendar.


And lastly...

when has an ancient civilization who slaughtered and killed their enemies and would start wars "just for the *censored* of it" (Garland Wars) ever had an ounce of CREDIBILITY over the science of modern times? Have these people heard of science? I guess some people would prefer to listen to a dirty old man wearing a eagle suit and prancing like a ninny talking about how they haven't sacrificed enough virgins then actually questioning his motives for all these virgins when nobody has actually see him sacrifice any, and he's been using an awful lot of the community's tying vines.

They used to say the SUN revolved around the Earth. Now we know otherwise.
they used to say the earth was flat. Now we know otherwise.
they said the world would end in 2012. well... they didn't. they just ran out of paint and decided to keep going the next day, then they CAME back the next day, and said, "pah, that'll last long enough. We can add some more later.". And that's when the spaniards came for a visit... so the mayans were a bit preoccupied for a while. Oh yeah and then they died.Good point about the calendar not going to infinity.One thing to think about.  How come they did not finish December? Quote from: computeruler on January 20, 2009, 05:57:09 PM

I explained that. They ran out of paint....and that's why you won't have Christmas this year you mean in 2012?Obama said something about big changes, so maybe even this year I don't believe such things, I've read about those thousands of people who committed suicide because of such predictions in the past.

Solve : Lucid Dreams?

Answer»

I found out about this about a month ago and managed to get one.

It's called Lucid Dreaming.

Definition from dictionary.com: characterized by clear perception or understanding; rational or sane: a lucid moment in his madness.

Basically, it's a dream that you have control of, so you can do whatever the heck you want to do in it, with no laws or rules, official or unofficial.

It is learnable, you just need to increase your dream recall, so if you keep a dream journal next to your bed and write every dream in it that you have, this should be pretty easy to do.

There are several methods to induce it.

But you'll just have to experience it yourself.
Linky. Site with tutorials and dream journals so you can understand what I'm blabbing on about 

- dairymanInteresting, but I'm not a fan of writing DIARY's.when I first read about this lucid dreaming stuff, I didn't even REALIZE it was different then what most people could do. I've been ABLE to stay asleep after realizing that I was dreaming long after I realized that I was dreaming as long as I remember. Of course some of my earlier experiments with it usually ended with me being turned into a vanilla wafer cookie and eaten by a vampire which was kind of off-putting.

Very seldom, I'll wake up, be able to open my eyes... but completely unable to move anything, like my body is still asleep. I wasn't even able to control my breathing, it was scary at first- seems to happen about once a month now. It's especially annoying when I can see the clock and NOTICE I'm 15 minutes late leaving for work, but am completely paralyzed.

Other times, I'll realize I'm sleeping and think, *censored*, I wonder what time it is... and wake up purposely just to check the time, LOL.

Your body automatically paralyzes you when you have a dream, but they have a tutorial on how to do it while you're awake to help you sleep. You wouldn't want to run out of the window and actually break your bones just because you did it in a dream, right?

Apparently trying to move your eyes or toes helps you get out of it, IIRC.why does this seem so familiar, since some dreams of mine seem to be that i dream about something happening to me some where and the next day or week or whatever, it happens just like in the dream.

Also To increase your chance set your alarm clock to go off an hour before you usually awake.
when it goes off shut it off and just go back to sleep.

It seems to work when your somewhat awake and asleep at the same time.Funny you should mention this.

Sometimes that happens to me too. I had a dream that I saw my friend over the fence on our house, and next week, the exact same thing happens.


I tried Hypnotic Hallucination and boy, what a weird experience that was. I was only dreaming for about 5 minutes though, or so I think...why did I keep dreaming the same thing over and over again? The same place, infact it was like a story , I knew in the dream that I'm dreaming and I have been to this place before, it was like a continuous story!!!Ivy...

Quote from: Dream Moods Website
Dreams that recur (or repeat themselves) is a clear indication that some issue is not being confronted or that it has not yet been resolved.  Your anxieties about a certain situation that you are struggling with may also cause you to have recurring dreams.

Anyways I'm gonna do a VILD tonight, and hopefully it works, cause I'm struggling with the other methods.

Solve : Chrysler Buys Ads Thanking You For Tax Money?

Answer»

Quote

The Wall Street Journal and USAToday, thanking America for its MONEY. They also posted these ads proudly on their blog. The reaction from actual Americans was, um, harsh.

They spent our taxes on thanking us

Nice job. No wonder they are going broke...

http://consumerist.com/5137457/chrysler-buys-ads-thanking-you-for-tax-money-you-get-pissed-chrysler-censors-youlol... that's hilarious. What did they expect from this?


I'm so glad my government isn't giving huge amounts of cash to private companies... Not that I really have much else about my government to be proud of... last good PM was probably trudeau... and that was before I was born...It might just be me but I think bringing the millions of people who are in debt OUT of debt would do more for the economy then selling new cars will. Everyone who spends the money and pays taxes are still unable to buy the cars. D'oh And if a company can't react to changing markets... it should be ALLOWED to die.They have a valid argument in if the BIG 3 go under it would CREATE a huge vacuum of unemployment and other historic financial woes. But still the people who aren't buying now  won't be buying next year either because it just isn't a good financial decision right now.

Bailing them out is one thing. They also need to restructure internally. "Trim the fat". With benefits a line worker costs the company around 75 - 80 dollars an hour. The unions have them bleeding losses and nobody but themselves can fix that. I am all for Unions, but when they become more powerful then the company itself it's time to step back. It's legal robbery in my opinion. If you are employed in one of the 22 states that has a Right to Work law, you are probably protected by the state's Right to Work law and cannot be required to join or pay dues or fees to a union. (There are a small number of exceptions to the basic rule that individuals who work in Right to Work states cannot be required to pay to join or pay dues or fees to a union. Employees of airlines and railroads, and employees working on property subject to exclusive federal jurisdiction, cannot be required to join a union, but may be required to pay union fees. If you are an airline or railroad employee, click here for an explanation of your rights. If you work on property subject to exclusive federal jurisdiction, call the Foundation for further information.)

The following states have a Right to Work law:

Alabama, ARIZONA, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nebraska, Nevada, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia and Wyoming.

We people in Georgia making between 15 and 20 dollars an hour which is good pay can't afford a 75 dollar an hour vehicle.Sell them in Detroit.

stupid people!There are many businesses that have gone under due to union wages. While I have nothing against a union they can do as much damage as they they do good. The auto industry is a prime example. Raising wages/benefits with no income to back it up was stupid. But then if the CEO's didn't live so extravagantly then the workers wouldn't have as much reason to complain.If the U.A.W. has almost enough resources to buy GM i find it hard to be compassionate for them...

Solve : NZ man gains access to US military secrets?

Answer»

Sourced from http://tvnz.co.nz/national-news/nz-man-gains-access-us-military-secrets-2453415

Quote

ONE News has gained access to the personal files of American soldiers, uncovering military secrets from the most powerful nation in the world.

In November last year the US Defence Department banned the use of portable data storage devices.

However, Chris Ogle from Whangerei got more than he bargained for when he bought an MP3 player from an Oklahoma thrift shop for $18.

When the 29-year-old hooked up the player he discovered a playlist he could never have imagined - 60 files in total, including the names and personal details of American soldiers.

"The more I look at it, the more I see and the less I THINK I should be!" he says.

Some of the information appears to be a mission briefing.

ONE News found amongst the files lists of soldiers based in Afghanistan, along with the names of some personnel who have fought in Iraq and cellphones numbers for soldiers based overseas.

ONE News called some of the numbers and the phones are still active.

The files that the numbers were located in are marked with a warning saying the release of its contents is "prohibited by federal law".

There are also details of equipment deployed to the bases and private information about soldiers, such as social security numbers and even which ones are pregnant.

"One of the first rules of military endeavour is not to give the opposition anything WHATSOEVER that they could use to compromise your position, in any way at all," says Peter Cozens of Strategic Studies at Victoria University.

Most of the files found are dated 2005 and seem unlikely to compromise US national security, but experts contacted by ONE News say they could put the individual soldiers at risk.

"This is just slack administrative procedures which are indeed a cause of embarrassment. And it's the sort of thing which ought not really to be in the public domain," says Cozens.

The US Army and the American embassy will not comment.
They need to be carful with those!What I want to know is how did it get on the mp3 player? This is actually Russia's fault for not paying their spys enough - they have to pawn their mp3 players to buy food!"The files that the numbers were located in are marked with a warning saying the release of its contents is "prohibited by federal law"."
Isnt there another law that states that they have to provide us with records on these sort of things, unless it directly affects our security as a nation?


"The US Army and the American embassy will not comment."
Only because we apparently are communist now, and cant tell anyone the truth.

They probably stuck it in their pocket and recorded away. Many people do this due to memory issues.

Solve : nooo?

Answer»

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooo i lost, arazona lost, noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooPlease stop wasting everybody's time with your pointless topics such as this one. Not everybody LIVES in the U.S and thus not everybody cares about the meaningless football game that they EVANGELIZE to the position of some sort of ultimate contest, when in fact its a bunch of dudes in tights wearing way to much padding trying to spank each other. I don't see what's so manly about that.


Alright, so they aren't trying to spank each other. but it's a lot more FUN to watch if you imagine they are.Oh, you were talking about football? Quote from: BC_Programmer on February 01, 2009, 08:46:46 PM

Solve : Always check your child's homework?

Answer»





Scroll down......






(Here's the reply the teacher RECEIVED the following day)
 

 

Dear Mrs. Jones,

I wish to clarify that I am not now, nor have I ever been, an exotic dancer. 
I work at Home Depot and I told my daughter how hectic it was last week before the blizzard hit.  I told her we sold out every single shovel we had, and then I found one more in the back room, and that several people were fighting over who would get it.    Her picture doesn't show me dancing around a pole.  It's supposed to depict me selling the last snow shovel we had at Home Depot.
From now on I will remember to check her homework more thoroughly before she turns it in.

Sincerely,
Mrs.  Smith

Answer»

are you eating or drinking at your pc , if so , what are you havingBudweiser and Slim Jims
breakfast of championsBangers and Mash...Usually CoffeeI'm eating my thoughts.Eating homework.

Oh wait, it should be the dog.... Anybody tried Possum? It's good eatin. Squirrels... Squirrels, they ain't so good. Meats all stringy, tastes like goldfish- you know what I mean?Drinking water..a bacon sandwich and teaThere's nuthin wrong with squirrels...have you tried manifold cooking them ? ?
83 miles and they come out perfect...

Info Here...aww, see that must be the PROB, my cous'n rosco ALWAYS rushes things. So here we are, speeding down a country road in our beat up pickup, dead varmint cooking on the engine, when we happens upon a tasty MORSEL of coon hit by some other truck (We swear)- so we always takes off the varmint we has basting, which is usually a squirrel, since we just comes from the park, y'see, and we grabs us some dixie plates we keeps in the cab, and we has a LUNCH... might be why it comes out stringy. Same story with the goldfish, come to think of it, except it is usually already chopped up for us by rusty propellor blades of Bob-Joe's old boat, so we reduces the cookin time for that reason.

We were able to make a pretty good bastin sauce out of a smushed alligator that crawled up on the road and a few electrocuted crows. Also got some new alligator skin boots and some feathers in our caps too. I then we comes home and old mary-Beth is trying to figger out why we ain't feelin like no scalloped potaters or sweet iced tea, and we just sniggers to urself about them varmints we consum'd so recently. Except that one time the varmints we had didn't agree with us, on account o the large amount of rat poison we used to catch'em, I 'spose.. so there I was, eatin my scalloped potaters, and up comes the varmint escapin, no stopping it, so I just let's it fall onto my plate, so I just eats around it for a bit, 'verone LOOKS sees what I gots, till ol' uncle herb comes over, and asks me, "Can I have a piece?"

Solve : 'Immortal' jellyfish swarming across the world?

Answer»

Fascinating and potentially scary story..

The Turritopsis Nutricula is able to revert back to a juvenile form once it mates after becoming sexually mature.

Marine biologists say the jellyfish numbers are rocketing because they need not die.

Dr Maria Miglietta of the Smithsonian Tropical Marine Institute SAID: "We are looking at a worldwide silent INVASION."

The jellyfish are originally from the Caribbean but have spready all over the world.

Turritopsis Nutricula is technically known as a hydrozoan and is the only known ANIMAL that is capable of reverting completely to its younger self.

pof courseanybody who thinks "computers are going to TAKE over the earth" has watched far to many movies and not enough hardware manuals to form an OBJECTIVE opinion on the subject.

ahh, that may be true, but in order to take over the world, they would need to take over the jobs of politicians. Sadly, that won't work, since computers are the complete OPPOSITE of politicians. you ask'em to do something, they do it. And they do it efficiently.

Solve : Miracle of Flight 1549?

Answer»

Wow, wasn't this a miracle!

  http://cosmos.bcst.yahoo.com/up/player/popup/index.php?cl=11588017
Yes.
That was decision that a human had to take
 and it came out right.No wonder. The pilot was from my area, Pleasanton, CA He had less than 90 seconds to react and decide what to do...
On the dark side of things survivors have already reported being contacted by a group of scum-sucking Lawyers that want to file a class action lawsuit.Haha! They spent all that time looking for one of the two engines and then they realized one of them was still attached to the plane.Would flying into a flock of birds be an "act of God"
as the insurances companies often say?

So then, who is being named in the class-action suit?stupid birds! that is a miracle thoughAfter that miraculous landing, the local (Columbus) news featured a visit to Port Columbus International Airport and the airport's program to constantly monitor the area for birds.  They use explosives of various types to try to keep/scare birds away.  I presume all major airports do the same but, of course, this technique can really only provide some protection in the immediate vicinity of the airport.   It wasn't a "miracle" in my opinion. Miracles are supernatural magic events without logical explanation such as turning water into wine, making loaves and fishes to feed 5000 people out of 5 loaves and 2 fishes, etc etc. What happened to that flight was the result of excellent airmanship by a very professional and able pilot. Also a very well designed plane that stayed afloat long enough for everyone to get out.
Well, I agree, if you apply the biblical standard of a miracle, this is not truly a miracle.  But, how often does the word miracle get used to describe events which are not really miracles?  Quite a lot, just as many other words are used in ways that stretch their TRUE meaning.

As you said, that flight was the result of excellent airmanship by a very professional and able pilot.  And, the whole crew did an excellent job.  All passengers were evacuated from the plane in a matter of a few minutes.  Quote from: soybean on January 18, 2009, 12:27:52 PM

But, how often does the word miracle get used to describe events which are not really miracles?  Quite a lot, just as many other words are used in ways that stretch their true meaning.

Too often, by lazy journalists and headline writers.Quite amazing and I hope that the pilot is getting some nice payback for the interviews he'll be doing. Regarding lawyers wanting to sue.. man if someone actually ATTEMPTS this I hope the Karma comes back and bites them in the *censored*.Apparently, the mayor of New YORK City has given him 'the key to the city'.
