Solve : New CH IDEA?

Answer»

I was sitting here thinking of stuff an waiting on post an thought of this. How about if we have a button built in so that if we get tired of haveing a post show up in the new replies it removes us from it? Like the noify of replies button.It's already in your Profile...it's called "unsubscribe".

You'll find it in the section: Notifications and Email, within your profile.Unfortunately I don't believe that's what he's talking about Saviour. As far as the "New replies to your posts" link goes it's been asked before if there was a setting or MOD that would allow for USERS to ignore certain posts or boards and not show them in the new replies (e.g. not showing FORUM games posts). Unfortunately after a lot of searching I was only able to find one mod capable of doing this and it is no longer being developed or available in new versions of SMF. In addition I COULD not find a method of doing this. However, just for kicks I'll create a post on the SMF boards and see if anyone has any ideas. oh OKAY....

Solve : Large Hadron Collider due to be switched on at 5pm AEST?

Answer»

I think it's a trick.

Was just about to post something on this .

This is what people think will happen :

http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2008/09/080909-black-hole.html


Life as we KNOW it just might all come to an end in a few hours. I'm not sure how many of you have been following this, but the Large Hadron Collider will fire up in a few hours. There are a few scientists who believe these experiments might trigger a black hole, which will eventually swallow planet Earth and eventually our entire solar system, erasing any evidence that we were ever here. Here's the scary part: the scientists who are pretty confident that a scenario like this will not happen admit that in theory, there is an outside chance that this could happen. I personally feel that if we're going to attempt something like this all scientists should all be 100% sure that there is a 0% possibility that a black hole can be spawned before trying something like this, but that's just me... lol. On the other hand, the data that comes from these experiments can increase our knowledge of everything exponentially.

Physicists across the globe are on the edges of their seats, but not because they're worried about a Franco-Swiss black hole.

In recreating the conditions present a trillionth of a SECOND after the big bang, the collider could reveal the nature of dark MATTER, thought to provide structure throughout the universe, scientists say. The machine could also unmask a theoretical but as yet unseen particle, called Higgs boson—or the "God particle"—that is believed to give other particles their mass.

There's also a very, very remote chance that the process will spawn black holes—any one of which could assume an odd orbit within Earth, devouring microscopic chunks of matter until the entire planet is gone, physicists say.

This and other harrowing—and equally unlikely—scenarios prompted a couple of independent scientists to sue this past spring to stop the atom smasher. So far they haven't succeeded, and the vast majority of the world's physicists are on board with the project.

Eventually, two proton beams will be steered in opposite directions around the LHC at close to the speed of light, completing about 11,000 laps each second.

One lap is 27km. The beam of protons travel around the ring 11,000 times every second.....100m underground........in circles.....


Phew! That's fast!Interesting....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9XotvwgnaYWhile I don't believe in the Big Bang, this could provide some interesting discoveries. I just don't believe that a universe this complex came from atoms colliding.Cool YouTube video about it. Would like to see a more up-to-date video though.

Solve : US lawsuit calls Large Hadron Collider a Doomsday Machine?

Answer»

Quote from: Aegis on September 13, 2008, 06:46:46 PM

I was on the bandwagon for a while, but was fortunate to hear debate from both sides. I still think we should curb our emissions where we reasonably can do so. Gore's no saint, but he's help raise awareness. We shouldn't go on acting like pollution is no big deal.

Pollution is a big deal, but I don't think global warming is. Perhaps Gore has helped; even the smallest microorganisms contribute to the big picture. I'm glad you listened to both sides Aegis, and jumped off the Bandwagon. The most important thing to remember when forming an opinion is that the majority is not always right. And curbing emissions when possible is an great idea, its just not that contributory to global warming. Take a look at Gore's house and then tell me he's not a hypocrite...My point exactly. Hypocrites are a pet peeve of mine.Agreed. I want to knock on doors and ask these people why their opulent homes aren't shingled with solar panel shingles from which they could power the whole house most of the time -- heck, people with them sell their excess power back to the grid!Quote from: Aegis on September 13, 2008, 09:01:02 PM

Good one. If we had been researching solar panels from the time they were first brought up, in the 70's, average people might be able to afford them by now. Instead we're still stuck with fossil fuels, whose price is going up daily.

and yet their price is almost 80% tax... I've never quite understood that. Why so many taxes?Because of all the debt.Quote from: typhoeus on September 13, 2008, 09:34:12 PM

That may be true, T, but we should do what we can. We've been pumping hydrocarbons into the atmosphere since Britain industrialized in the late 1800's. We should err on the side of caution.

That's a little over two hundred years, that's a split second to the earth. We are just like a bad case of flea's on the earth, when the time comes, things will circle around and the earth will shake us off. Its a simple matter of time, that's all. If you think I'm driving a Prius because people want to blame themselves for earths climate change, your nuts. I couldn't FIT in a Prius sized vehicle if my life depended on it. I'm more of the type to drive a full sized car from the 80's than a Prius.

The whole fuel efficiency thing is a crock. My father drives a 1986 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser with a 307 big block Oldsmobile V8. The engine came stock in the car, he's removed the emissions and removed almost everything tied in with them except the distributor and carburetor. He still has to find the parts to replace them to the 1980 model with no computer/emissions. Anyway, the point of this is, the wagon weighs roughly 4,600lbs with him in it, and all his tools and such, yet it gets almost 20MPG in town, and about 22, or 24MPG on the highway. Not bad considering the vehicle, the point being, global warming is a marketing SCHEME.

Emission controls where one of the many marketing schemes that rolled cars up into the confusing mess of plastic electronic crap they are now. Where if they break, your screwed unless you invest a good chunk of what you paid for the car to have it fixed. Its about making crap cheaper and calling it "Eco-Friendly" then selling it for way more than its worth. Whats with all these 40MPG vehicles that a couple years ago got half that? Explain that, I already can, its marketing, everybody that's rich gets richer, everybody that gets poor gets poorer, and they don't care. What do you think the the Hadron Collider is for? To the scientists, its about finding out what Mass is, but I'm sure someone funding them is looking to eventually find a way to BECOME richer. Think about it, the ability to create things from nothing, think if you controlled that. Just think about it, sounds crazy, but its highly plausible.

the MPG thing may be a crock, but we'll run out of oil eventually (unless they find a way to create it- hey, they did with diamonds...). THe number of miles per gallon a vehicle can get is irrelevant when there is no gasoline to fuel it.Quote from: BC_Programmer on September 14, 2008, 09:45:46 PM
THe number of miles per gallon a vehicle can get is irrelevant when there is no gasoline to fuel it.

That's my point ENTIRELY, its all irrelevant in the end, they don't want consumers to see that. Its a mass media market, you see what they want you to see unless your actually looking. Call me crazy if you want, but the way I see it, every bit of the modern society in America is designed to only a few things, those things are to subliminally control the people by slowly chopping away our rights. Same way they did in Europe, hence the EU, same way they'll do here, creating the NAU, North American Union. Of which, you can find little about, but its already in play.

To put it bluntly, its all just a blind stupid power struggle to decide who owns you, doesn't matter where you live, someone owns you. In the end, nothing matters, live your life to suit you and disregard those to blind to see the system the way it is. That's my way of living, call me crazy if you want, but I doubt I'll stay on the grid all my life just because of the crap that's snowballing up in the present. Point being is like I said, if you are a part of the system, your owned, your branded cattle, one of just a many in a herd. They don't care about us as INDIVIDUALS, they care about us as a whole group the same way a farmer cares about his flock as a whole group. They don't care about loosing one or a few, just loosing a whole lot that might affect there well being, without us, they can't be rich no more, and they can't go off doing senseless science projects like with the Hadron Collider.

Humans ask to much of there environment, always breaking down and analyzing, but most of us don't stop and look at whats around us, stop to think how easily all this could end. All it would take is a couple idiots doing a couple stupid things to end the way of life that we so BLINDLY submit to. Sure, go ahead, I know most of the ones here my age are all hoping to go for the American Dream, a house, possibly kids, couple new cars, and maybe a cute puppy. The thing about the American Dream is, you have to be asleep to believe it, and most people are dreaming away.

I see things the way they are, simple, to the point. People are ignorant, and too self absorbed in most cases, which is why the whole world is the mess it is. Its human nature, something much like the planets cycles that cannot be changed easily. But that doesn't mean it can't be changed, look at society, its slowly getting tamer, the line between part of society and a threat to society is becoming a very sharp edge. And that's the way the people that own you want it, they want you to be a part of the crowd, part of the blind society, one of many who think as a blind whole body never seeing outside there lives. Instead of one that see's himself as one of many, one who is an INDIVIDUAL, one who thinks for himself and one who acts on his own. One who isn't part of the crowd because he thinks outside of the box so to speak, one who will not abide by there standards and rules, and one who will not simply sit when told.

Take what you want out of this, my point is, people do as there told, as they are conditioned and trained to do. They obey, they sit when told, and they don't realize it. How does this relate to the Hadron Collider? That's simple, its all human nature. To explore, to question, to break things down to there simplest form, but most of all, to control the environment around them.

Solve : Pink Floyd member dies?

Answer»

Pink Floyd member Richard Wright dies at age 65

I was lucky enough to see them live at an OUTDOOR stadium (Kansas City 1996)

http://www.comcast.net/articles/music/20080915/EU.Britain.Pink.Floyd/

RIP Richard WrightOh dang it ...... that really sucks big time. Just 65 - crazy! Bad news.

I have the DVD set of the Earls Court gig 1994 - a classic for sure. Just wish I'd ever managed attending a live show. He was a keyboard genius and IMO very responsible for many track's being so darned great.

RIP Richard Wright - yes indeed.I just did a Google and that's the same tour I saw live. Arrowhead Stadium, Kansas City, MO, USA - 1994. I was thinking it was 96....

I vividly remember the flying pig. We were on the 13th row and you could hear people in the back of the stadium making noise for some reason. Looked back and this HUGE pig was floating right by us. Good stuff!!!

For as MELLOW as some of their songs are that is by far the absolute loudest concert I have ever been to. Did they finish with ''Run Like *censored*" too?? - that was IMO the most mind blowing end to any concert and on the vid the light show is amazing.

Plus too the final sound which is all but a musical rendition of an explosion.

Sure feel just that bit more mortal right now - only two years younger than Richard. I think they finished with that. Can't exactly remember. I do remember during Run Like *censored* there was another prop that came from behind us. This one a huge bed with what looked like some dude laying there hanging on for dear life lol. Again the crowd noise tipped us off that something was coming. Only the bed prop was seriously hauling a$$ and it appeared to crash/explode into the back of the stage. I never figured out how they did that but who cares, it was awesome Whatever - good memories evil - somewhat the end of an era but - the music lives on. Yep, gonna have to get out the Floyd CD's now.Haha - me too.

I ripped a loada tracks some time ago - and just went thru an MP3 or two! Nice That's very sad news.
I saw the same tour - "The Division Bell" tour - 1994 Oakland, CABTW...I have a whole set, every single record (CD), they ever made.

Below is why I missed Jim Morrison and the Doors. I was from
Jacksonville ,Florida.I had tickets but, it was not to be DAMMITT!!!

http://www.doors.com/miami/one.htmlHeh, here's a good one.

I was talking to my ex this morning and asked her if it was 1994 when we went to that concert. She kindly informed me it was 1987 or maybe 88 that we saw them, accompanied by the familiar "your an idiot" look I have grown accustom to...

Guess it's only fitting that the album was A Momentary Lapse of Reason. And explains the flying bed.



Edit: It was May of 1988. May Arrowhead Stadium, Kansas City, Missouri

It's quite sad when the original "Old Timers" GO. I saw Pink Floyd at Iverwin Stadium in Hamilton, Ontario
back in 1971 or 72. One of the best shows I've ever seen (at least the parts that I remember). We were
snuck in by a cool security guard who felt sorry that we didn't have tickets!I can only wish I was old enough to go to concerts in the 70's. Not that I want to be older lol, but they just aren't the same as they were in the 80's when I first started going to them. A rock album used to be a masterpiece and the live show was just as good. Now with a new album (CD) you get one hit and a BUNCH of other songs...

Yet, we are the only country with globally accredited colleges? There silencing, stupefying, and blinding us man, that's all it is. Believe what you want, the truth will catch up with you some day. I can assure you of that.

And Soviet, I wouldn't be surprised if this whole FORUM disappeared.Instead of blaming your ignorance on "the horrible school system" (which, by the way, isn't congruent with, "Never cared for most of what they had to teach."), and wild conspiracy theories that you blindly copy from others, look up this word: Responsibility.

You're headed for a tough life.

Best of luck.I'm beginning to wonder if for whatever reason, you take out your anger on other people drm. Maybe its out of self pity that you yourself are a failure? Who knows? I don't understand ignorant people like you, so faithful in the system. So convinced that what you believe is right and nothing else but that can be so. Convinced that everything you've been told from the first memories of your life that you can recall is right, and convinced that you yourself are somehow better than others due to your age.

Whatever your reasons are for bothering me with your ignorance, keep them too yourself. I really don't care to speak with a person that has the brain of a chimp.

I admit, had I had the patience to deal with people like you. I might have stayed in school instead of dropping to get my GED, but I'm not PASSIVE and submissive like most people. I won't just sit down and shut up when told, call me stupid for being that way, call me arrogant, call me whatever you like. It makes no difference, I am what I am, I believe what I believe, nothing you can say or do will change that fact. Quote from: Dead_Reckon on September 19, 2008, 09:11:43 AM

I'll just file this under "typical response of a adolescent". what criteria are required for that? well:


  • 2 out of three paragraphs must attack the opposition personally (check)
  • Telling others to keep their thoughts to themselves, while shoveling out their own. This way, their ideas can stand unrebutted.(check)
  • at least one comparison between another persons brain and that of a PRIMATE in an attempt to subjugate them to their views. (check)
  • exposing an attitude of contempt for any that would oppose their view, while providing no real evidence to back up their own (and instead opting to immediately compare their cerebrum with that of a lower animal form) -(check)



I also missed some oher posts: Hmm, let's see here:

believing what your told and calling anyone who says any different crazy.
Yes, it goes much farther to call them a monkey instead.




In short, it will go much farther to make others believe your own argument if you don't simply call theirs a "misplacement of faith in the system" and rather actually provide some real evidence (and NO, the web is not in GENERAL a source of good information. The web is a mess of more lies, deceit, and malevolent ideals then any politician could weave.). Saying their "monkeys" doesn't EARN you any brownie points either, nor does trying to justify staying in school with an attitude of being "above them", or using the words "know" and "believe" interchangably.


This is why i'm glad we don't delve into Politics here....

For now i'll close it and if others feel it needs re-opened so be it.

Solve : Overclocking in the past...?

Answer»

That was buried in our first FAMILY PC at one point, a gateway 2000, it overclocks from 133MHz (Pentium MMX) to 233MHz using JUMPERS, and the power from a floppy cable on some odd board that the CPU PLUGS into.

Here's a picture of the underside:



Its an antique by today's standards, but still, very cool.Good EXAMPLE of overclocking!

I've overclocked a couple of my processors in the past. Haven't done it in a while.

Solve : Has Anyone Ever Used Wink??

Answer»

Has anyone, here, ever used the tutorial program from Debugmode called "Wink"?

If so...I'd like to talk to you...

Just drop me a PM...

Thanks, in advance for all those who reply.


SteveHello Steve, I have heard of a few people who have tried this out... cant recall who they were at the moment...

Its by DebugMode, a freeware company that I have never had problems with. (I have used Debugmode Wax) The setup for Wink is in my ToDo folder. I'm in the process of creating some flash tutorials using this...

I've used it before, but it's been awhile. Once done...I'm not sure if I want to embed them within the forums, or on my main site.

Thanks for the replies, guys...What about a section called 'Flash Tutorials' on your main site?Food for thought...

I'll keep you posted, BRIAN.

Thanks!If anyone is interested...I just completed my first tutorial: http://www.saviourpc.com/how_to_change_vista_desktop_wallpaperHah, Nice!Thanks, Brian...

I had to remove the left navigation menu so that it wouldn't interfere with the tutorial. It's all good, though.

On a cable connection, it took about 3-4 seconds for the tutorial to load. Calum reported about 10 seconds with DSL. I can just imagine how LONG it takes on dial-up.Thirteen seconds here on DSL also...Nice Job !

Do that one on repairing the Helium leak in the Haldron Collider next...

Nice, Saviour! About 4-5 seconds to load on DSL, 1.5 Mbps.Thanks, drm...

Don't know where I'm going to get the energy to make more today...I wish.

Solve : some of my artwork?

Answer»

as suggested by computeruler (kevin..right? ) i'm posting some of my artwork.
i love to create wallpapers and everyting what cames to my mind with ps3 or photo impact.
i do it only for fun not for commercial use.

i call it sleeping angel



PIETA



she was my fave model of the 80's



That's pretty impressive work you have there. wow!!
1.) what did you use to make them
2.)how did you make them TEACH ME TEACH ME!!!!!oh, thank you so much!

Quote from: computeruler on September 19, 2008, 11:24:14 PM

wow!!
1.) what did you use to make them
2.)how did you make them TEACH ME TEACH ME!!!!!

ok, i'll try to explain the steps. pardon my english.

sleeping angel and pieta were made with pse and photo impact. i was using tools of both software and photos.

in sleeping angel i have first created layout in pse with gradiant tool. than i went to photo impact to use bubble effect and DISTORTION. i keep the work saved in psd file. on the first layer i have ADDED photos of the angels and then i use the layer tool on the right of pse where i can play with tools like overlay, multiply...until i get the best effect. after this step was done, i have used again photo impact to add additional bubble effect with larger bubbles and another light effect. in the end i do flatten images (layers) and i put the last filter oil painting effect on.

in pieta i have used 2 different layers. the first is the yellow background with photo of pieta. the second is the red layout with head of virgin mary and rosery. i have used the same bubble effect from photo impact and cloud effect. in the end i have put both layers together and mark/diselect tool to get the tin yellow vertical lines. again flatten images and oil painting effect as finish.

on the last wallpaper (iman) i was working with ps3 and have used different brush sets which i have downloaded mostly from brusheezy.com. like in pieta, i have background layout and layout with photo of iman. some of the brushes were used directly on the basic layer and for some brushes were used new layers. i did experiment with it but i can't remember exactely what steps i have made here. when i was satisfied with the effect i have flattened images and was working additionaly on the FONT and lines effect. there is no oil painting effect used as finish.hmmm ill have to check out that photo impact software... thanks for explaning these steps!! ill have to experimnet with it and see what happens also ill have to check out the brushbreezy site and download some brushes thanks!!!!!!!!!you are welcome. here are some useful links for adobe tutorials. i do read them and learn alot.

Solve : Interesting PC video?

Answer»

This caught my attention:
http://video.stumbleupon.com/#p=6c3xds92m1
Edit: Some people may get the wrong video... StumbleVideo has a habit of that... it starts out with "I'm a PC, and I have been made into a stereo TYPE"
If its not that video, click the link again.

Interesting perspective of the PC/Mac commercials. interesting... these new windows commercials are very very weird like that one were BILL gates and another famous guy are in the shoe shop and they are leaving and the famous guy askes bill gates when they are coming out with something new for the pc and he says they should be edible like funnle cakes or somethingQuote

like that one were bill gates and another famous guy are in the shoe shop
Those were horrible. This is great.The Seinfeld/Gates ads have been yanked.... ya that one i saw that commercial once and it was soooo weird never saw it again i see what they say about balmer he is a bit of a nutjobBalmer isn't in the commercials... ya but hes the new chairman he must have had something to do with them?I SERIOUSLY doubt he has any idea what the ad people are doing on a day to day basis...Quote from: patio on September 21, 2008, 11:00:30 AM
Balmer isn't in the commercials...
THERES an extremely good reason for that...
I'm REALLY surprised Gates left Balmer in charge... and still trying to figure out why. why? i herd he was crazy but why?

Solve : Some of my image work (Warning: Thread contains many pictures)?

Answer»

i need to get a tablet... did you like draw by hand the one of your friend? or whatA combination of free hand drawing, effects, a bit of mouse work, and a lot of patience. ahhh i seeSome might ask, Q, why you use GIMP when you have Photoshop?While GIMP is similar to Photoshop, it's effects and such don't always come out the same. Therefore, you can do some interesting things when you use effects from both.I've never had much patients with photoshop or general editing of photo's, video, and audio. Guess that's why I always sucked at it, anyway, NICE work man. Keep it up, you might be able to get a JOB in the field of Graphic Design or SOMETHING. Lotta money in that field.

After that the furniture comes up from the garage. This has been one long ordeal I don't want to do this anymore

Alan &LT;&GT;< Wow, it sure has been a long time. Glad things are going ALONG nicely.
Hope it wasn't too stressful on the both of you.

So.....when do you suppose you will become active on the forums?Hey Carbon...

Probably won't be active again until next month. I still have to do a lot of outside work to tune the place up. We live on 10+ acres and all of it was burned. There is an area inbetween the house and the road we call "the park". Well, it doesn't look like much of a park now because of so many burned up trees. My job is to cut down the ones that dies and clean up the area. On top of that I'm looking for work + studying for the Apple certification. As you can see, my hands are full. I do, however, check the forms almost every day to see what's going on.

Like Arnold said..."I'll be back"

Alan <>< Hehe, have fun!

Probably won't be active again until next month.
It's all right. We can do without you for a few more days weeks.

Oh, and pictures are welcome. Good to hear things are still moving ahead Alan, also sorry to hear it's taken so long.

Solve : Train Engineer in Crash Was Texting on Job?

Answer» http://www.pcworld.com/article/151245/article.html?tk=nl_cxanws

The Metrolink commuter rail engineer involved in the deadly train collision in Chatsworth, Calif., last Friday had sent and received text messages while on DUTY that day, the National Transportation Safety Board said today.

However, NTSB investigators said in a statement that they are still trying to determine the timing of the messages that engineer Robert Sanchez sent and received and to compare them with the time of the crash that killed 25 people and left 135 injured. The NTSB didn't say how many texts Sanchez sent or received or provide other details.

Regardless of the timing of Sanchez's texting, there were calls today for more legislation and regulations to ban texting while operating TRAINS or driving cars.

The California Public Utilities Commission is meeting today and is expected to ban personal use of all wireless devices by train workers to correct an omission in federal railroad regulations, according to a PUC report obtained by The Los Angeles Times. In addition, Metrolink prohibits rails workers from using cell PHONES on the job.

"Texting is worse than talking on a cell phone because your eyes are down," said Jack Gold, an analyst with J. Gold Associates in Northborough, Mass. in an interview. "This accident just points out the fact that a lot of people don't use common sense while texting, and more legislation forbidding it is coming, I'm sure."

California enacted a hands-free law affecting cell phone use while driving, in 2006, and the state's legislature has approved a bill that would ban texting while driving, which awaits the governor's signature. Alaska, Minnesota, New Jersey and Washington state have laws banning texting while driving, while similar legislation is pending in 16 other states, according to the Governors' Highway Safety Association.

Gold said he was amazed that more major lawsuits have not been brought against cell phone makers and wireless service providers by families of victims of accidents involving wireless devices. "Those companies are basically giving people a product that distracts them and leads to accidents," he said. When the cell phone companies argue against legislation "it's like the National Rifle Association saying you should be able to buy an armor piercing round for your assault weapon."

Gold, who has covered the wireless industry for decades, said last week's train crash will provide an incentive for more legislation affecting drivers, and if the cellular industry continues to lobby against laws, it will lose.

"They can't win this one," he said. "What politician would vote against a bill against texting while driving if they find a train engineer killed 25 people while texting?"

Gold said cellular carriers aren't hurt by such legislation, especially since they are beginning to charge flat monthly rates for data usage instead of a cost per text message. "It's hard to understand how carriers can oppose such laws," he said.

As for users, Gold said, "we all love our mobile phones, but even if you asked mobile phone users if they think it's right to text while driving, 95 PERCENT would say no."

States have generally been well behind the curve in enacting laws to limit cell phone and texting usage because legislatures tend to lag behind new technologies, Gold said. In Massachusetts, where Gold resides, there isn't a hands-free law affecting cell phone use, despite the fact there are many savvy technology users in the state, he noted.

The CTIA, a Washington-based association that represents all the major cellular carriers, says educating the public about safe driving while using wireless devices is more effective than passing legislation, according to its Web site.

The trade group has consistently argued through the years that drivers are distracted by many factors, including using a car radio or talking to passengers, and that wireless devices do not pose a greater distraction than those. A spokesman could not be reached immediately to comment on the impact of last Friday's crash.

Do you mean the SWF, or the WNK file- the WNK file is 18 MB, and hotmail refuses to allow for anything over 10MB.

If the WNK file is necessary, I could use a file sharing site- SWF I can send with not problem.

Is there any way you can compress the file in a zipped package...making it SMALLER? This way...you may be able to email it to me...I managed to compress it, HOWEVER- It wouldn't compress at all using ZIP(even with maximum compression)- With 7-Zip format, I managed to get it to compress to 4MB.

I will E-Mail this to you- If you don't have an archiver capable of reading 7-ZIP format, you could temporarily install 7-ZIP from www.7zip.com.



Aside from that- did you MANAGE to view the tutorial on your end with the SWF? And if so- any thoughts?



I'm not at home at the moment...will have to check it later this evening and get back to you. I do have 7-zip, btw...so it shouldn't be a problem.Update...

The flash tutorials have been nixed for HTML. Flash wasn't such a good idea, after all. I had issues with it in IE7, as well as file sizes.

Anyway...in case anyone is wondering what the new tutorials will look like...here ya go: Windows Vista - How to Change Desktop WallpaperOmg I love the mascot for your Tutorials

Hes a really good Artist.

EDIT: he even has Tutorials.

I'm here- so I'll update anybody watching this topic-

we're no longer going the route of using the flash rendered by Wink, and are instead using it's HTML export feature. This was mostly because IE7 users weren't able to see the tutorials, which almost defeats the purpose of their Existence, given that most people who would find them useful likely still have IE7.

Side effects of the change are almost all positive, however, excepting the need to edit any PRESENTATIONS designed for SWF usage to better suit the HTML OUTPUT. BC_Programmer's contribution: Windows XP - How to Change Desktop Wallpaper

Solve : Explain your username thread?

Answer»

Well I did use this as a username at one point an thought it would be cool to use an not make me look like a nerd. Considering that Im not an ALOT like the character but I'll GET into more detail latter.I was looking through TheSage one day and saw it. Thought it was cool so I've been using it ever since. Although sometimes I use my elvish name, Veon Elena. http://www.theoi.com/Gigante/Typhoeus.htmlHeh, I know I haven't been on in a few days. I can't be in all the time, like I'd like, because I still do have school, work, and family issues to attend to.

Trouble is, in the world of the student with a part-time job, you don't get breaks. Such is my problem. I go to school from 8:30-3:00 Monday-Friday, and I have work 12-8 SATURDAY, 1-9 Sunday, 6-10 Monday and 5:30-10:30 Tuesday.

So, really, I have only about 25 hours of free time a week, and that usually GETS consumed by family. I'll be on CH as much as possible - it's just that "as much as possible" isn't really a whole lot.Quote from: Dilbert on September 27, 2008, 03:00:28 PM

Solve : Fail Blog?

Answer»

I thought I'd share this hillarious blog of failures with everyone here on CH. My friend sent it to me through stumble, ain't looked through many yet, so I can't say if it has vulgure language or not so I'll just put a handy warning.

Warning, contents of failures listed in blog below may contain pictures or videos which some people may find to be boring, epic, vulgur, obscene, or even a life changing experience.

Fail BlogHeh, Police Fail!I think I just found the most hilarious attempt of a cop to try to catch speeders.

I wonder how many of them are photoshopped.....The "scissor fail" is so plausible because I see stuff like that here all the time. Things that are misspelled or wrongly packaged.

7-11s here in Thailand sell toasted sandwiches. A few months ago, they had a promotion on their new sandwiches: sausage and cheese, TUNA, and crap stick. Yes, crap stick. Was supposed to be crab stick.

There's a popular TOURIST place in Rayong, Thailand. It's a tree covered hill which provides homes for lots of monkeys. People go there and feed them bananas and such. At the base of the hill is a SIGN that says "Save our monkeys. Don't feed the coconuts." You know, because those coconuts might grow up to become killer coconuts and eat all the monkeys.If you go into China, some Chinese restaurants have English translations in their menus.
Lets just say they aren't what they appear to be...... Rivet fail (currently on page 2 there)

This one is also true. That's actually an advertisement on the side of a bus here in Thailand. Some of the colleges and universities often have ads on the sides of a bus (giant sticker things) and those girls are in their university uniforms, not sure which one though. The ads always have rivets showing through them like that. Just COINCIDENCE that those ended up the way they did haha.Quote from: Carbon Dudeoxide on September 28, 2008, 12:55:45 AM

I sign on randomly throughout the day, so what does that have to do with anything? I got nothin' else to do because I ain't working at the time. Can't work, got no transportation until I find the money to get a motor for the bicycle I have. Too much of a pain to pedal around this place. If the river ain't in your way here, its either a hill or a honda. Usually both. Either way, Even with all this free time. I don't sit randomly googling crap like you SEEM to do. You seem to think you know me, but you don't. That's the case with pretty much EVERYONE who judges someone over what they think to be there opinion.
I Judge you bye your words and how you communicate in this forum.

Sigh, I suddenly remember why I stopped coming here.

This topic was about a mythbusters episode. Now, Well, I don't know, but I can assure you it has gone off-topic. I can also assure you we will see nothing more productive come from this thread. Wether it will be humourous, on the other hand, is another story altogether.

First, that wasn't me, second, who cares if they can take 30 to 40 seconds to "google random crap"? What are they supposed to do with that time? SPARK a flame war?

And I don't google random crap myself- my last Google search was an attempt to find the proper Function Header for the COPYPROGRESSROUTINE procedure.


Dead_Reckon: Follow the STEPS described in PATIO's post. Patio may not be a doctor- heck, he might not even know somebody whose used a toaster in a hospital, but his prognosis isn't at random. You suffer a serious medical condition termed "annoyinitis". You have a tendency to add posts that contribute nothing positive to the discussion at hand aside from sparking a flame war and introducing the first use of the word "Porn" into the thread, albiet out of context.You guys should join our school's debate club.

Anyways, this thread has gone way off track. Why can't we all just get along?

Also, having a provisional license doesn't necessarily mean I'm 17, I could technically be, say, 60, and not have passed, so still have a provisional license. I WOULD then still need someone over 21 who has held their license for 3 or more years to supervise me.

My point exactly, I'd be the one driving the truck. And I'd PROBABLY stop simply because a deer doesn't make the sound of glass breaking or metal/plastic crunching. Gotta make sure the PAINT ain't scratched "OMG honey- I think I just hit a robot deer..."
