Hello and I have found something very nice

http://freerice.com/

Ok the point is You learn more and every word you get right they donate 20 pieces of rice and it adds up after a while Just try it. You may learn something How does playing the vocabulary game at FreeRice help me?

Learning new vocabulary has tremendous benefits. It can help you:

* Formulate your ideas better
* Write better papers, emails and business letters
* Speak more precisely and persuasively
* Comprehend more of what you read
* Read faster because you comprehend better
* Get better grades in high school, college and graduate school
* Score HIGHER on tests like the SAT, GRE, LSAT and GMAT
* Perform better at job interviews and conferences
* Sell yourself, your services, and your products better
* Be more effective and successful at your job

After you have done FreeRice for a couple of days, you may notice an odd phenomenon. Words that you have never consciously used before will begin to pop into your head while you are speaking or writing. You will feel yourself using and knowing more words.


How does the FreeRice vocabulary program work?

FreeRice has a custom DATABASE containing thousands of words at varying degrees of difficulty. There are words appropriate for people just learning English and words that will challenge the most scholarly professors. In between are thousands of words for students, business people, homemakers, doctors, truck drivers, retired people… everyone!

FreeRice automatically adjusts to your level of vocabulary. It starts by giving you words at different levels of difficulty and then, based on how you do, assigns you an approximate starting level. You then determine a more exact level for yourself as you play. When you get a word wrong, you go to an easier level. When you get three words in a row right, you go to a harder level. This one-to-three ratio is best for keeping you at the “outer fringe” of your vocabulary, where learning can take place.

There are 50 levels in all, but it is rare for people to get above level 48.


How is the difficulty level for each word determined?

The program keeps track of how many people get each word right or wrong, and then adjusts each word’s difficulty level accordingly. So the words at the easiest levels are the ones that people most often get right. The words at the hardest levels are the ones that people most often get wrong. As more and more people have played the game, these levels have become increasingly more accurate.



Who pays for the donated rice?

The rice is paid for by the advertisers whose names you see on the bottom of your vocabulary screen. This is regular advertising for these companies, but it is also something more. Through their advertising at FreeRice, these companies support both learning (free vocabulary for everyone) and reducing hunger (free rice for the hungry). We commend these companies for their participation at FreeRice.


If FreeRice has the rice to give, why not give it all away right now?

FreeRice is not sitting on a pile of rice―you are earning it 20 grains at a time. Here is how it works. When you play the game, advertisements appear on the bottom of your screen. The money generated by these advertisements is then used to buy the rice. So by playing, you generate the money that pays for the rice donated to hungry people.


Does FreeRice make any money from this?

No, it does not. FreeRice runs the site at no profit.


Couldn’t I just write a computer program to play all day and give a lot of rice that way?

There are two problems with this. First, it overloads our servers so that REAL people can’t play and learn vocabulary. Second, WITHOUT real people playing and buying products, it is no longer cost-effective for companies to advertise. Without advertising, we cannot give any rice at all.


Who distributes the donated rice?

The rice is distributed by the United Nations World Food Program (WFP). The World Food Program is the world’s largest food aid agency, working with over 1,000 other organizations in over 75 countries. In addition to providing food, the World Food Program helps hungry people to become self-reliant so that they escape hunger for good. Wherever possible, the World Food Program buys food locally to support local farmers and the local economy. We encourage you to visit the United Nations World Food Program to learn more about their successful approach to ending hunger.


Will the rice I donate make a difference?

The rice you donate makes a huge difference to the person who receives it. About 25,000 people die each day from hunger or hunger-related causes, most of them children. To a mother or father watching a loved child die in their arms from hunger, the rice you donate is more precious than anything in the world.


What is being done to end world hunger?

There is great progress being made to end world hunger. Many organizations across the globe are involved in this struggle. Each day, hundreds of thousands of ordinary men and women work for these organizations. Through their efforts, millions of impoverished people have food to eat, learn skills and find hope for the future..

and yes the error that occured changes everytime and is never the same. this is good for when i leave my computer but dont want anyone else to get on. i just start it up and put it in full screen and it works great.

hey zylstra, i went to future shop for some christmas gifts and i decided to take a look at some of their vista comps. i looked at the task manager but i could not find winnt.exe, is it just because its most likly that i was signed in with a very limited-access account?

In other words, Calum is cheap. Ha.

I don't know why I feel the odd COMPULSION to tell you guys this, but I just want to tell somebody.

You know how if you sleep on your arm, you lose feeling to it in the MORNING? This is because of a lack of blood flow. Well, I woke up this morning to discover my arm was asleep. I tried moving it, knowing I'd get the burning sensation of a "blood rush", but I couldn't move my arm - I had no ability to control it at all.

So, I used my right arm to pick up my left (an act of considerable focus first THING in the morning), and suddenly my left arm started spasming. All that oxygenated blood returning to my arm made it FLAIL about like a caught fish. I was freaked out, but kinda fascinated as well, because I realized these spasms were related to blood flow and it was in a certain pattern. Not sure why it caught my attention.

Then, I hit myself in the mouth with my flailing left arm...lol. ive had plenty of times when i woke up with no feeling in my arm, but ive never had my arm start flailing on me. i guess your just weird. It was from the sudden rush of oxygenated blood - I was sleeping on it with more force than the average blood pressure gauge with a really long name I can't remember.Dilbert . . . you just made my day.
I haven't laughed so hard in a long time.
Thanks man.Now, I have had spasms before, (funny when parts of your body start moving without you being able to control it, hilarious when you are driving..)

I get these every so OFTEN:

Hi,

I use Windows XP SP2 here. Anyone know where I can get a blank MSSTYLES file?

Thank you.Right CLICK SOMEWHERE... on your desktop for example. SELECT New and select Text Document. (Any other file type will do as well.) Now change the EXTENSION from .txt to .msstyles. Voila one blank msstyles file. Perfect! Thank you!

How do I check to see if there's a key stroke program on my computer?Do you have protection software like Spy Sweeper installed? If not, I RECOMMEND getting it right away.I'll do it, but is there a WAY to check your system without adding another program and drawing attention??? In theory you can do it manually. But you would need to know a lot about the ins and outs of windows and the tricks software can use to hide it self.
The BEST way is to use some good detection tools. (PREFERABLY more than one if you suspect an infection.)Quote from: chalenger58 on DECEMBER 19, 2007, 07:32:15 AM

ZAP: zap is a game were SOMEONE writes ZAP on your hand and a time at the top. Then they write something embarrassing you have to do if you look down at it....
So if Right 3:30 PM on the top then under I right you have to get detention... So when I look down at that time Before that time is over with I have to do that Action.

Paper chewing: This one is a little gross but Mostly if you dont have gum you pretty much chew paper....

High school tradition... our rival school was a private catholic school. A rivalry that goes back decades. They had a nice campus with tons of trees... we had rolls of toilet paper...

Check out this wishlist I made for a home theater pc and tell me what you think as well as any other ideas, suggestions, replacements, ETC.
Newegg Wishlist"Wish" list...

Neat PC you've got there... but I must say, where are the graphics? Hmm . . . not bad.
But, I would be inclined to buy a dedicated graphics card rather than using the integrated X3100 chip.
Also, what OS are you planning to use?the graphics chipset TAKES assignable memory from the ram. If you want a 1gb video card, you can tell it you want to take 1 gb ram from the system and use it for video. I didn't think I needed a video card for playing movies and TV and zsnes. I also like the mobo because it has two built-in video ports.
Plan was to put linux on it with mythtv, but may end up GETTING windows media center if things aren't compatible.
Oh, and it will hook up to my current tv and a projector that I haven't picked out yet, but will probably buy next month. Looks great bro. Hmm . . . a 1Gb integrated chip is still not a good performer.
Myself, I'd buy a low end dedicated GPU like the 2400 Pro, for better graphics, hardware video acceleration, etc.
But, it's up to you in the end - integrated is certainly cheaper.Quote from: michaewlewis on December 24, 2007, 10:24:09 AM

the graphics chipset takes assignable memory from the ram. If you want a 1gb video card, you can tell it you want to take 1 gb ram from the system and use it for video.

Also, if you get another card, you can have the primary monitor as the good card, and use the extra card to extend your desktop for more work space to a second monitor (fun stuff!)
I, when using the computer at my dads, keep my music on the left desktop, and my main stuff on the right. I also have my emails on the left desktop. Great for multitasking.

when some of that stuff comes around at 20,000mph

Even if you set aside the facts that:

* There is no zoo in Paderborn, Germany.
* There is no record of any zookeeper named Friedrich Riesfeldt.
* This story was originally published in that pinnacle of quality journalism, the World Weekly News.

The photo still shows that the story is a complete fabrication.

* The incident supposedly took place in the evening, but the photo appears to have been taken at midday.
* The background shows an open African plain, not a German zoo with lots of buildings.
* Although the picture tries to do a convincing job of showing poor Herr Riesfeldt trapped under the pachyderm poop, it doesn't show the equipment he supposedly used to help the elephant with his problem.

THE YEAR 1907

This will boggle your mind, I know it did mine!


The year is 1907.
One hundred years ago.
What a DIFFERENCE a century makes!


Here are some of the U.S. Statistics for the Year 1907 :
************************
The average life expectancy in the U.S. Was 47 years old.

Only 14 percent of the homes in the U.S Had a bathtub.

Only 8 percent of the homes had a telephone.


A three-minute call from Denver to New York City

Cost eleven dollars.

There were only 8,000 cars in the U.S. , and only 144 miles of paved roads.

The maximum speed limit in most cities was 10 mph.

Alabama, Mississippi, Iowa, and Tennessee were each more

Heavily populated than California

With a mere 1.4 million people, California was only the 21st

Most populous state in the Union

The tallest structure in the world was the Eiffel Tower !

The average wage in the U.S. Was 22 Cents per hour.

The average U.S. Worker made between $200 and $400 per year .

A competent accountant could expect to earn $2000 per year,

A dentist made $2,500 per year,

A veterinarian $1,500 per year,

And a mechanical engineer about $5,000 per year.

More than 95 percent of all BIRTHS in the U.S. Took place at HOME .

Ninety percent of all U.S. Doctors had NO COLLEGE EDUCATION!

Instead, they attended so-called medical SCHOOLS, many of which

Were condemned in the press AND the government as "substandard."

Sugar cost four cents a pound.

Eggs were fourteen cents a dozen.

Coffee was fifteen cents a pound.

Most women only washed their hair once a month , and used

Borax or egg yolks for shampoo.

Canada passed a law that prohibited poor people fromSPAN>

Entering into their country for any reason.

Five leading causes of death in the U.S. Were:

1. Pneumonia and influenza
2. Tuberculosis
3. Diarrhea
4. Heart disease
5. Stroke

The American flag had 45 stars.

Arizona, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Hawaii, and

Alaska hadn't been admitted to the Union yet.

The population of Las Vegas , Nevada , was only 30!!!!

Crossword puzzles, canned beer, and ice tea

Hadn't been invented yet.

There was no Mother's Day or Father's Day.

Two out of every 10 U.S. Adults couldn't read or write.

Only 6 percent of all Americans had graduated from high school

Marijuana, heroin, and morphine were all available over

The counter at the LOCAL corner drugstores. Back then pharmacists
said, "Heroin clears the complexion, gives BUOYANCY to the mind,
regulates the stomach and bowels, and is, in fact, a perfect guardian of health."

There were about 230 reported Murders in the ENTIRE U.S.A. !


Just Try to imagine.....
What it may be like ....
In another 100 years !!!!!!!
IT STAGGERS THE MIND !!!!!!!!!!

This month, I'll have an extra $600 to play with and have got a few ideas of what to do with it?
So far, it's a draw between a Wii, video projector, or a new PC. Of course, if I had all THREE, that would be cool, and one day I probably will.... but I'm trying to decide which would be cooler to have first.
SHARE your thoughts. What would you do with $600?I would probably buy the video projector because PCs are always going down in price so in a few months from now you can get a whole lot more for your money than if you would have bought it today. Also, according to the news, Wiis are very hard to come by these days. So that decision may have been made for you already. (Meaning, you can't get one because they're sold out!) That's my opinion.There's plenty of Wiis on Ebay, though. EVEN though they're marked up at least a hundred dollars. That's where I was planning on getting one... Ebay or Amazon.Quote from: michaewlewis on December 31, 2007, 11:23:53 AM

I wish YouTube would have made a page or a video DESCRIBING the top videos of 2007 because I've seen MULTIPLE pages saying conflicting information about what were the top videos.

Seen a lot of pages saying the music video: "Avril Lavigne - Girlfriend" was the top video and that makes more since because it has been viewed 66,845,633 and was posted on FEBRUARY 27, 2007.I thought it was the bimbo DIATRIBE from the Miss U.S.A contest...

I have no idea how long this will take (hopefully no more than a week) and I hope to be back up and running soon.

So, see you all again soon!

btw: My server uses the same connection, its also down. Wow... they fixed a lot faster than I thought they would.. only about 1.5 days downtime, they got a person up here to fix it quickly

I am back up and running, as well as my server!
We even didn't have a chance to SAY: BE BACK SOON....LOLkinda reminds me of a garfield comic.....

The water froze the instant the wave broke through the ice.
That's what it is like in Antarctica. Water freezes the instant it comes in contact with the AIR.
The temperature of the water is already some degrees below freezing.
Just look at how the wave froze in midair.

I'm not sold...
The only way ice attains those deep blue hues is by being COMPRESSED from the weight of icebergs on top of it and by 100's of years of passing time...
This would not occur this CLOSE to the surface in Antarctica.
Photoshop at BEST...looks shopped.
I did a bit of looking around. Seems to be a glacier that just happens to look like a frozen tidal wave.

I just heard that Bill GATES is STEPPING down from his full time job at Microsoft and will now start working as a part time employee and chairman.

From CNET: Link.
If we think it deeply, but not to deep, he don't need to work anymore.http://www.news.com/1606-2_3-6084425.html?tag=ne.vid

He announced it two years ago, at LEAST more will start being DEDICATED to the Bill and Milena Gates Foundation

where are we supposed to ACTUALLY get the userbar things?

if i NEED to request is it possible for a:

Coca COLA Addict
WinXP user
Firefox user
Web Designer


can I get the above usersbars?

Chances are, since you are here on this forum, you have installed some sort of software before.

Have any of you EVER read the standard agreements that are displayed before installing?

Just out of curiosity

Quite frankly, I have made a Macro on what do do in my head
Next
next
agree
next
next
*wait
select no to readme
select YES to start now
finish
Long time ago when i was installing a my first game on windows 98, i read the licence agreements and I found it incredibly boring [lol] and since then, i have never one and i always press agree.

As for readme, I keep them until i start the program and know how to use it, then i delete it.I never ever read the license agreements.
They're too long and boring.
I go through about the same steps as you Zylstra, but I almost never choose to start it then, I'm not sure why.
I also make sure it doesn't go putting shortcuts here, there and everywhere, especially in my non-existent Quick Launch toolbar.A Good TOOL for this...Awesome, nice find!
I'm using that the next time I install something, if I remember to.

Science Fiction movies have been a source for speculation about the future of technology and human computer interaction. This paper presents a survey of different kinds of interaction designs in movies during the past decades and relates the TECHNIQUES of the films to existing technologies and prototypes where possible. The interactions will be categorized with respect to their DOMAIN of real-life applications and also evaluated in regard to results of CURRENT research in human computer interaction.

Dutch brewers including Heineken and Grolsch have been fined a TOTAL of 273.7m euros (£185m) by European regulators for price fixing.

The European Commission has penalised Heineken, Grolsch and Bavaria for stifling competition by sharing PRICING policy and levels.

The move follows a lengthy inquiry by Brussels into sales of beer to Dutch bars and restaurants in the late 1990s.

Heineken received the biggest sanction and will have to pay 219m euros.

Its fine is the seventh-largest competition PENALTY ever handed out by the EU and reflects the fact that Heineken accounts for more than half of beer sales in the country....

has anyone heard of/ use/ used Game Maker? I do, and I think it's good cos it's an easy alternate to learning C# or some other PROGRAM Its a DOS program, right?Um...

No.
it's a game making program that you download at this site:
http://www.gamemaker.nl/

and judging by your response, you haven't heard of it...I heard of it. But, ehm it kind of STOPS there. I'm not really INTERESTED in making games. Only play 'm. If it's anything like RPG Maker, I'll pass.I have heard of it, but the review I came across said it was too basic to be of much use.
Sorry I couldn't be more helpful, never used it myself.It looks like Adventure Game Studio (first THING here: http://www.dosgames.com/g_gcs.php )
So, I guess I havent. I was thinking you were talking about Game Builder...

Do you use a U3 device?

Just disable the thing that they use to keep you from disabling it!
(I know I would... )

Eh, just disable it. Kill the Office Paperclip!

I have Office 2003 and I don't recall ever seeing it; so, I believe it was not part of Office 2003. Ah, wait, I see it is part of Office 2003, per http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clippy, but, apparently, I either disabled it or elected not to install it in the first place. I don't remember.

Microsoft did not put it in Office 2007.

Now this is really OUT-THERE !!! OMG the freak of all freaks !!!


O'FALLON, Mo. —
Step down the stark, white stairs into Jeremy Mehrle's basement and meet his Apple computer collection.

He's got 99 computers. No, wait. Make that 100.

He just got another last night, he said during a recent visit to his home about 35 miles west of St. Louis.

Dozens of his Apple Macintosh computers are on display down here, a techie's dream party pad.

Mehrle, 29, appears to recognize that there's an inherent, well, geekiness to his computer collection, but he's got a sense of humor about it. Perhaps at this level of commitment, it's actually geek chic.

His bar is made out of 30 Mac Classics arranged next to and on top of each other. Guests can drink at the bar, "but no one ever does," he noted. (Just imagine how much technology could be destroyed with just one spilled drink.)

The basement is wired with 20-amp circuits. He doesn't just display his computers, he runs them when guests come over.

Classic screen savers, like flying toasters with wings, flutter across screens. When friends stop by, they can play old-school games like "StarCraft" on machines networked together.

For special events, like New Year's Eve, he'll play videos on several monitors or set up strobe effects on multiple machines, creating a rave-like atmosphere.

"I think it'd make you more inclined to dance, even though I don't dance, I guess," he said. "I've never been to a rave, so I'm just basing that on 'Alias,'" he joked, referring to the hip TV spy thriller.

Along one wall, he's got every color — or "flavor" — of iMac.

While the first one, in "BONDI Blue," sits alone, the other 12 are arranged in rows in the order they were released. They begin with the first colors, like "Blueberry" and "Tangerine," to the last of the bunch, known as "Snow."

Another wall has nine iconic Macintoshes arranged in chronological order. The computers range from the original Macintosh with 128 kilobytes of memory to the 20th-anniversary Mac from 1997. Mehrle bought it on eBay and thinks he paid about $800 for it.

The online auction site has been a big help to Mehrle, once he began amassing a collection. He first got into the machines by using his dad's IBM personal computer.

From there, he started collecting computers in general, Commodores and Tandys, Ataris and IBMs. He was interested in how different ones worked and how they evolved.

Then he spotted an iMac G4, a computer with a rounded base and a swivel-head, flat-screen monitor.

"As soon as I saw it, I was like, 'I have to have this computer,'" he said.

Mehrle hadn't been a huge fan of Apple computers, but he became one.

"The design, the user interface, the way it worked made sense," he said.

Sometimes people donated their old computers to him, but he largely shopped for them on eBay. Some he has acquired for as little as $10, because as he points out, he for the most part buys them when they're considered obsolete.

Leander Kahney, managing editor of Wired News, has written about the Mac subculture in a book and on his blog, "Cult of Mac." He said a lot of people don't throw out their old Macs, sometimes turning them into fish tanks or arranging a display.

But Mehrle's Macs are something special, Kahney said after seeing photos. "It's the most INCREDIBLE collection I've ever seen."

Mehrle doesn't have every Apple model ever made.

"If I did, that would be awesome, but my girlfriend would probably leave me," he said.

Despite a new full-time job at an Apple store, he's actually slowing his pace considerably when it comes to getting additional computers.

His girlfriend, Katrina Bibb, is threatening to get a new pet every time he brings home another machine.

The first floor of their home is brightly painted and decorated with furniture that recalls the stark lines and contemporary curves Mehrle likes from old science-fiction shows.

The rest of the place isn't overrun with computers like the basement, but Bibb notes, "The bathrooms are the only rooms where we don't have computers."

Of Mehrle's collection, she said, "I like how he displays them. I like that he has a passion.

"To me, a computer is a functional thing," she added. "It's not something you would ogle over the design."

There's a Starcraft Mac edition? "Sorry, you're not allowed to build this unit.. Please input the password.. No, sorry you're still not allowed to build this unit.. Your hardware isn't expensive enough"

Stumbled ACROSS this PRETTY nice software update checker that quickly scans and reports programs installed on your computer that needs updates. The quick scan on this machine FOUND 10 programs with later versions.

http://www.filehippo.com/updatechecker/That's really useful.
Thanks a lot for posting that.Yeah nice PROGRAM! I have SOO many updates availableNow that is cool!
I remember finding that once, but the first time I tried using it, it didnt work, but now it does (thats weird... must just be Vista)

That is cool useful softwareThanks, that's really handy!

Huh, this is pretty wild, it worked for me and everyone I've tried it with. Use these few simple steps to determine someone's age.

1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to
go out to eat (more than zero but less than 10).
2. Multiply this number by 2
3. Add 5
4. Multiply it by 50
5. If you have already had your birthday this year, add 1757 .... but if you haven't, add 1756.
6. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born.

You should now have a three digit number. The first digit is the number you USED in number 1 and the remaining two digits are your age.

Pretty wild.Ha, works for me too! Used 2 different numbers.I didn't read the ending BIT properly and i thought i was 114 years old.3 * 2 = 6
6 + 5 = 11
11 * 50 = 550
550 + 1757 = 2307
2307 - 1991 = 316

Whoa... this is one of the "cooler" little mind games I've tried lately, thanks My pre-No Kid Left Behind algebra thinks the 1756/1757 numbers have to be increased each year in order for this to work beyond the CURRENT year.

Could be wrong. I LEARNED math before they even heard of fuzzy math.
