Solve : The number 1337? |
|
Answer» As is normal with many YTMND vids, you'll have to refresh (F5) after it loads, or sound and video won't sync. That would be 07734 ....no ? ? He showly did'idp3n15Quote from: reaper_tbs on July 29, 2007, 05:44:07 PM p3n15Lol Hey, when did you become Chris?you can't just ''become'' Chris man, i've always been Chris. even before he was.Quote from: reaper_tbs on July 30, 2007, 05:19:15 AM you can't just ''become'' Chris man, i've always been Chris. even before he was.I think he has a THING for him Ah yes, leet speak! Even at my age, when it first hit the net, I recognized it as a kiddy toy! But (mumble) years ago, we used these and other numbers on our calculators! So the numbers are nothing new. Do you suppose these little ones just adapted their calculator numbers to the net? And, you gotta know, I learned a LOT from much younger users, about computer/net things. Ran my first IRC server with the help of a 13 yo. As mentioned earlier I'm sure anything could be construed enough to make it into something else. Still entertaining though. Funny picture of a 1337 computer from Dell: http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/6315/screenshotfp5.png A while back I thought of creating a new member group for users who have 1337 posts. This post re-inspired me to do that so when a user now has 1337 posts they'll be Leet until the next post. Oh oh oh can we get a special badge for the 1337th post?? A special smilie? A rap on the knuckles for posting that many in a week? Too funny, that pic! Wonder if they built me one with Win2000 Pro how much more that would be. Tired here. Need a yawning smilie. Speaking of which, will other smilies work here from a forum that is not BBcode? Peggy Robert all? AL don't know. Kathryn Peggy Robert? Used when I was 8 years old in the old neighborhood,Then we changed it to pig-latin. |

Solve : Mini-vacation.? |
|
Answer» I just thought I should let everyone know that in several hours (after getting some sleep), I will be on my way to Nevada because my girlfriend wants to see Pat Benatar and...well, you know how us guys always get dragged into these sorts of THINGS. Alright, so maybe I want to see Pat Benatar too, but it was her idea. Anyway, I'm going to be gone for the weekend, so if any of you feel a big depressing void in your chests, you'll know why. I hate having to neglect the Security section of the forum like this, but if I don't take this little mini-vacation, I'm going to snap. Thankfully, I've been getting a bit more help over there, so they should be ABLE to hold the fort for me until I come back. Have a good weekend, everyone. I'll be seeing you all again by Monday or Tuesday.BEWARE!!! Feeding the one armed bandits can be addictive. Enjoy your break Chris Quote you know how us guys always get dragged into these sorts of thingsSure, we do....LOOOOOOOOOL Have a nice time, sir Have a Great time Chris and a well deserved break ! ! Remember...Love is a Battlefield... The virus help section is going to flood without CDMatt......Thanks for the well-wishes, everyone. I got back fairly early yesterday, but my girlfriend wanted to spend some more time together at her place, so I ended up staying there until I was on the verge of passing out. I had a good time...definitely something I needed. I've been wanting to get away for a long time, so this weekend was perfect for me. And the concert was actually pretty fun. I SURPRISED by how many songs I knew (there was only one I didn't recognize). But now I'm back and ready to get back into action. I thought I was going to go crazy when I checked the Spyware/Virus section, but Broni did a great job of keeping things under control while I was gone. This is very much appreciated. Quote from: 2k_dummy on October 12, 2007, 09:32:56 AM BEWARE!!! Feeding the one armed bandits can be addictive.I was actually surprised by how easy it can be to get addicted to giving your money away. Ha. I did really well, though. I mean, I didn't win any money...but I only lost about $25...and most of that belonged to my girlfriend. So, I'd say it went well. We should've quit while we were ahead, but oh well, we had a LOT of fun. Quote from: GX44 on October 12, 2007, 09:34:31 AM Enjoy your break ChrisThanks a bunch; I definitely did enjoy it. I hope I didn't miss too much while I was gone. Heh. Quote from: Broni on October 12, 2007, 11:03:51 AM QuoteThanks, Broni. And thanks for helping people out over the weekend. I really appreciate it. And I'm super relieved to see that I don't have a big mess to clean up. Ha ha.you know how us guys always get dragged into these sorts of thingsSure, we do....LOOOOOOOOOL Quote from: patio on October 12, 2007, 11:52:01 AM Have a Great time Chris and a well deserved break ! !You know, as much as I wanted to hear that song (I loved it as a kid), I was convinced there was no way she would sing it. I mean, if I was Pat Benatar, I would probably refuse. But she sang it at the end of the set and it was pretty much awesome. It's surprising how much fun I had. Quote from: mycompisbroke on October 13, 2007, 11:21:53 AM The virus help section is going to flood without CDMatt......It did get a little flooded over there, but thanks to Broni, it didn't get out of control.Quote from: CBMatt on October 16, 2007, 12:59:20 AM I thought I was going to go crazy when I checked the Spyware/Virus section, but Broni did a great job of keeping things under control while I was gone. This is very much appreciated. Quote from: CBMatt on October 16, 2007, 12:59:20 AM Thanks, Broni. And thanks for helping people out over the weekend. I really appreciate it. And I'm super relieved to see that I don't have a big mess to clean up. Ha ha.Well this is true , cause if Broni wouldnt have been around my comp would have been dead by now, i mean even i wasnt sure if i will find help , but Broni is not just good at helping out with viruses , he is super good. I cant BELIEVE it , this was actually the first time when my virus problem was solved till the end , Broni would just keep replyin and i'd keep followin his advice all 12 hours ,and he saw it to the end. Thankyou so much Broni, and welcome back Chris . Ivy Quote And I'm super relieved to see that I don't have a big mess to clean up. Ha ha.Don't you dare!!!....LOOOOL Ivy...I'm glad, you're happy. That means, I'm happy, too. |

Solve : Astronomy? |
|
Answer» For those interested..."Most Massive stars ever" Oprah, Rosie O' Donnell, Roseanne... oh wait, the topic is Astronomy, nevermind. regarding the link though, In a strange twist, I actually find it entirely un-amazing... even dissappointing, in some ways. I haven't been heavily into Astronomy since I started working with COMPUTERS (so I don't follow astronomical news like this) and the books I have are pretty ancient (let's just say they are the same age as a College book titled "applied Structured basic"... that is, late 70's or so) Anyway, the book has a "artists rendering" of the size comparison between the sun and betelguese: the picture is actually a two-page spread covering the lower half of both pages, but I sort of cut it out for size, which is actually the opposite of what I usually do with two-page SPREADS, which is to enlarge them. Alright, so we have that... and now today they find the "most massive stars" and we get this picture: One of those has got to be WRONG! I want to blame the fact that the Betelgeuse one was based on incorrect DATA (it being way older and all), but there is actually a thermal graphing of the star's surface, so I have no idea what to think here. This is interesting. When I read it I found it hard to believe that the brightest star is 22 million times brighter than the Sun.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEheh1BH34Q&feature=relatedNice video.The second IMAGE is correct. This took me ages to get it sorted on my site and there is still a rogue image around that needs deleting... still looking for it. |

Solve : check photos are what they say? |
|
Answer» if you want to check to see if a photo is true and is what it says it is this prog; will do it for you err... that's not really what it does, it's a reverse image search, it merely searches for places where the image can be found, it doesn't really verify wether it's true or not. i must tell the bbc news they are wrong , a woman was offered a flat to rent for 1 year but had to pay all the rent up front by bankers draft but see went to that site and it checked that the flat was in london for sale , the rent was a scamQuote from: harry 48 on August 07, 2010, 09:01:08 AM What?Quote from: Helpmeh on August 07, 2010, 05:14:07 PM What? a woman went to the web to rent a flat she tried for 1 but had to pay a years rent up front something wrong here she thought she put the flat photo into the site for it to check it came back the flat was in london for SALE it was a scam wheres the PICTURE?Quote from: 2x3i5x on August 08, 2010, 12:15:17 PM wheres the picture? its in the yahoo files from 2 or 3 days ago , why Quote it came back the flat was in london for SALEThat was a pure coincidence. That site checks for the same image on different websites, one of the websites PROBABLY being something similar to WOT.Quote from: kpac on August 08, 2010, 12:27:20 PM That was a pure coincidence. That site checks for the same image on different websites, one of the websites probably being something similar to WOT. i know but with my post i was only pointing out that the site will check where the photo came from or what it belongs to |

Answer» 10-9-8-7...LET me point out... the website itself isn't breaking copyright laws, however it's linking to illegal music on torrents. The site itself also isn't malious but third party CONTENT is. However, wheither or not a website is legal doesn't make a difference, SURE there's a higher chance (and some are bait sites), but very popular websites also get attacked and injected by hackers, drive-by website linking or advertising, etc. There's thousands of legal sites all using Clicksor for that matter. |

Answer» Anyone like oldies music ? Depends who you ask: No Three Dog Night? ... Steppenwolf ? Quote from: WillyW on August 29, 2010, 10:06:33 AM No Three Dog Night? ... Steppenwolf ? No, there's still a lot of music I don't have that I like, haven't gotten around to getting it yet Quote from: BC_Programmer on August 29, 2010, 08:38:07 AM If you ask some people they consider some of these "oldies". I suppose the term is relative, though. true.. didn't think about that I was actually referring to 50s and 60s. I had three different Chevy Sprints now that I think about it, in '91 I had a gold-colored one. Then in '96 - 98 I had a RED and blue one. They all had a ton of millage on them when I GOT them, so that combined with not knowing how to take care of cars at the time, they didn't LAST too long. But in all cases they had decent little radios in them.. anyway "Roxanne, you don't have to put on the red light!" My brother-in-law's musical taste is mostly 80's stuff. He can go into a thrift shop and buy stacks of CD's for $1 apiece. Then he rips them and then donates them back to the thrift store. He's built up about 8GB of music (all legal) for very little money.AAAHhh the 60's... I love music from that era, like ABBA, pussycat, the shadows, smokey, etc. I grew up listening to my dads old records and have always loved that kind of music. Quote from: LAU on August 30, 2010, 03:16:04 AM AAAHhh the 60's... I feel you on that one Quote I grew up listening to my dads old records and have always loved that kind of music. I love records. I like to watch them spin around For some reason it makes the music more fun to listen to Quote from: grandpa_simpson on August 30, 2010, 03:26:43 AM I feel you on that one Yep, love it to, but i don't think ABBA will appreciate you putting 10 years on them.Oops...probably should have mentioned the 70's too |

It was deleted now but it was something like "please help I'm being held against my will by the Russian mafia and forced to post links" and the rest of the post was spam.Quote from: BC_Programmer on August 30, 2010, 09:11:31 AM I had a spam comment on my blog that was humourous.

Possibly one of the funniest things I've ever read... Russian Mafia forcing you to post links. I can just see the guy in a dark tiny room with just a desk a computer and a mafioso pointing a gun at his HEAD.. shouting 'post more links!'Quote from: Mulreay on August 30, 2010, 11:10:58 AM Possibly one of the funniest things I've ever read...

Some beefy Serbian barking "POST MORE LINKS, COMRADE!" It's gone now, I was hoping to post that portion of it verbatim (with the links removed of course) but it was either posted to long ago or the recent DELUGE that akismet has captured caused it to be replaced.

Solve : CopyRight - CopyWrong or CopyLeft - Which?? |
|
Answer» There are more torrent sites that ever. LEGAL NOTICEDo you agree? Don't care? Any comments? Quote DOWNLOADING OR SHARING COPYRIGHTED CONTENT WITHOUT AUTHORIZATION IS ILLEGAL. Yep. It is against the law.About time.wait.... wut? copying copyrighted software that you didn't pay for is illegal? when did this happen!?!the original counter-argument was that the program itself didn't do ANYTHING illegal, it was just used for illegal purposes. And in that sense they had a good point; Weapon manufacturers aren't held responsible for what the owners of their products do. On the other hand, there are people that think they should. So it's not really that much different. LimeWire, to my understanding, and much like the other crappy P2P programs, really just LET you share files. There is absolutely nothing wrong with sharing files, no matter what anybody says; the catch point is of course when said files are, say ISO's of popular games or MP3's and so forth, which fall under copyright claims. Although Limewire was used ALMOST exclusively for this purpose, it won't change anything. If you take the gun away from a criminal, they will just go find another one. There are still countless other options for P2P aside from Limewire. Torrents, for example, which have a large base of perfectly legal uses. (Linux distros are often distributed through torrents; as are all the videos that you can get from TASVideos.org; and any number of other uses where large file downloads are needed. Quote Weapon manufacturers aren't held responsible for what the owners of their products do. I seem to remember the Colt Firearms manufturers were sued a few years AGO....never heard the outcome.Quote from: patio on October 27, 2010, 11:08:10 AM I seem to remember the Colt Firearms manufturers were sued a few years ago....never heard the outcome.More RECENTLY Colt sued the copycats... OH! Now I get it. If I sell cheap guns to criminals.... I am violating the Copyright law! Therefor any murder omitted with a not legal gun... Is also a violation of the Copyright Law! |

Solve : early stages of repair business? |
|
Answer» I'm in the early stages of starting a relatively small computer repair business, servicing laptops and desktops. Just a few months away pretty much.. How could I tell if the problem is related to something I missed, or some malware they installed ? Obviously in a computer repair shop, once a computer is repaired by hardware then the answer here will not be related to the issue so this has to be DISCARDED. On the software side of the issue, assuming you made a clean install, repaired or fixed the computer. I would also make a system restore or make a registry back-up in case the computer is healthy before it is place out for the customer to use again. Set out cut-off dates for any warranty period.Quote from: BC_Programmer on September 03, 2010, 12:42:34 AM I don't understand? You want to check if there is a problem with the computer and tell them you won't fix it if you do? I fail to see how "well, I looked at your computer, and it's not working 100% so I can't fix it" will bring about many business opportunities... what ? I'm simply wondering how I can tell if malware or other software has been installed since I returned the computer/s. How to tell if the customer has done something to cause it, or if it is something I missed. If it is something I missed then I'll re-service free of charge. If customer is at FAULT then I will deny re servicing free of charge..Quote from: jason2074 on September 03, 2010, 12:46:24 AM Obviously in a computer repair shop, once a computer is repaired by hardware then the answer here will not be related to the issue so this has to be discarded.

Solve : how to copy and paste? |

Answer» is this copy and PASTE How 'bout slave and master? To be PC you can't even call hard drives that any more. There was a government agency that forbid using those terms internally.Not true. That is a popular myth based on a story from 2003 that was later blown way out of proportion. Many people still believe the terms are illegal/banned, but here is how the whole thing started: http://www.cnn.com/2003/TECH/ptech/11/26/master.term.reut/Quote from: harry 48 on August 27, 2010, 03:44:18 PM is this copy and paste Aside from the other topic that seems to inevitably grow from these threads, I THOUGHT very funny. Quote from: CBMatt on September 05, 2010, 07:10:47 AM Not true. That is a popular myth based on a story from 2003 that was later blown way out of proportion. Many people still believe the terms are illegal/banned, but here is how the whole thing started: Here is a source that says it is true. http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/outrage/master.asp And I hadn't seen the CNN article about LA county, but I did see what seems to be a copy of a memo from a Federal agency about the same subject.rthompson, did you read that article?Yeah, what part are you referring to?Quote Joe Sandoval, the Division Manager who issued the memo, TOLD Reuters that his memo was intended as "nothing more than a request" and not an ULTIMATUM or policy changeWhen an organization as big as LA County goes out of it's way to issue a memo to all of it's vendors to "request" something from it's vendors, it's not a simple request, but more like a demand. PS: I wouldn't be surprised if the IT department still uses the term master and slave despite what management has decreed.Quote from: rthompson80819 on September 14, 2010, 03:38:11 PM Here is a source that says it is true.I didn't say it never happened. I was explaining that it was blown way out of proportion. |

Solve : Microsoft Calculator Fail? |
|
Answer» Microsoft's Calculator failed in FOLLOWING calculation. 2704/52 = Try yourself Doesn't Work 2702/52 is 52. Nice one hahaBC, don't ruin it! Of course you would have to choose something like 5704; if you were to use, say, 64, most people KNOW their times tables and would be able to call it out. but most people would need to use calculator for something like 5704/52 and wouldn't know the RELATIONSHIP between the numbers. of course you got unlucky and the first person to READ your post was able to square 52 without one and see how the two numbers were related, heh.You're not making it any better. It won't do √-1 Quote from: Fleexy on August 29, 2010, 04:34:59 PM It won't do √-1That's because it only works with real numbers, not imaginary or complex ones.* Fleexy hates it when people miss the pointQuote from: Fleexy on August 29, 2010, 05:17:49 PM * Fleexy hates it when people miss the point your point was it didn't work with Sqrt(-1). I told you why that was the case. I fail to see the point I missed. Quote from: Fleexy on August 29, 2010, 05:17:49 PM * Fleexy hates it when people miss the point Smeagol hates them, haaaaaaaaaaaaates them! They want my preeeeecious You failed to realize that Microsoft did not fail. They failed to tell you they purposely didn't fail. square root of -1 legally failed on the calculator like all calculators with square root function would.It doesn't work in 7 but it works in some older windows versions: put in 7/(4+3= That is- use = bewfore you close the parentheses. Occasionally this causes calc to crash. Not necessarily a terrible issue since it's just a pebkac issue MS didn't think to address. Also it doesn't happen in windows 7 or in most 64-bit versions of windows.Michael, you almost got me! |

Answer» My latest work! An early Alpha version I'm currently working on: very good well done , i used to play a game like that years ago yep, it's Yet Another Arkanoid Clone (hmm, perhaps that will be the name... ) Still a lot of work to be done on it, most of it is of the "less fun" type, (GETTING it to save and load properly from files); mostly I've been messing around with adding particle effects all over (the blocks, when hit, for example, spawn a number of particles, you can see this in the video- also, when the ball hits the paddle a few particles are spawned... and of course the bomb and ray blocks shoot out additional balls which spawn a bunch of particles as well (that's going to need some tweaking as well). I'm dread to try this on my laptop, because I feel certain it will run slowly... I hope I am instead pleasantly SURPRISED i'll try and find it and you can maybe add a few things from it |
