windows vista got a insain amount of critasism for being unwell made. what i THINK is yes because it looks adzactly like windows vista upgradedtwo tips:

1. spell check your posts.

2. Use proper GRAMMAR... "Unwell made"?

3. How is looking like "windows Vista upgraded" bad? Are they supposed to completely revamp the interface with each release?

yes because people wont know how to use it (like OLD people and stuff)Show me anything at all that hasn't got criticism, and I'll be extremely surprised.Quote

Yeah, sure -- computer news! Here's the scoop: Since the original poster didn't put quotes or capitalization around "Pendulum," he's writing about an object rather than something named with a proper noun. Therefore, he must be making indirect reference to the latest trend in putting pendulums to use in order to provide internal timing to central processing units and systems.

Do You LIVE on a SOCIAL Island?

The internet attracts many people who OTHERWISE can not do well socially.They live on Social Islands.
Look at this cartoon for the NYT.
http://www.nytimes.com/imagepages/2008/12/24/technology/25basics.ready.html
(click on link to see image.)

Do lyou sometimes feel that that cartoon?
Why? Or why not?
Does the internet HELP or hurt?I would consider it probable that too many people rely on the internet for social needs.

I'm not a person who "hangs out" with anyone, but, I see my friends at school.

Then I go home and crunch away on the computer.

I wouldent call myself socially damaged though. Definitely not. Have I known people who are? Yes. Many.
Maybe the guy who drew that cartoon needs a Social Life...just a thought.

I stumbled upon these while searching the we, quite funny here are a few:


The proliferation of modern programming languages (all of which seem to have stolen countless features from one another) sometimes makes it difficult to remember what language you're currently using. This guide is offered as a public service to help programmers who find themselves in such dilemmas.

C
You shoot yourself in the foot.
C++
You accidently create a dozen instances of yourself and shoot them all in the foot. Providing emergency MEDICAL assistance is impossible since you can't tell which are bitwise copies and which are just pointing at others and saying "That's me, over there."
FORTRAN
You shoot yourself in each toe, iteratively, until you run out of toes, then you read in the next foot and repeat. If you run out of bullets, you continue anyway because you have no exception-handling facility.
Modula-2
After realizing that you can't actually accomplish anything in this language, you shoot yourself in the head.
COBOL
USEing a COLT 45 HANDGUN, AIM gun at LEG.FOOT, THEN place ARM.HAND.FINGER on HANDGUN.TRIGGER and SQUEEZE. THEN return HANDGUN to HOLSTER. CHECK whether shoelace NEEDS to be retied.
Lisp
You shoot yourself in the appendage which holds the gun with which you shoot yourself in the appendage which holds the gun with which you shoot yourself in the appendage which holds...
BASIC
Shoot yourself in the foot with a water pistol. On big systems, continue until entire lower body is waterlogged.
Forth
Foot yourself in the shoot.
APL
You shoot yourself in the foot; then spend all day figuring out how to do it in fewer characters.
Pascal
The compiler won't let you shoot yourself in the foot.
Snobol
If you succeed, shoot yourself in the left foot. If you fail, shoot yourself in the right foot.
HyperTalk
Put the first bullet of the gun into foot left of leg of you. Answer the result.
Prolog
You tell your program you want to be shot in the foot. The program figures out how to do it, but the syntax doesn't allow it to explain.
370 JCL
You send your foot down to MIS with a 4000-page document explaining how you want it to be shot. Three years later, your foot comes back deep-fried.


The rest are here:
http://www-users.cs.york.ac.uk/~susan/joke/foot.htmHeh, very interesting

Only language I remotely know is QBASIC, yet, it still works today, even on Vista : P


I removed the code /code tags from your post, since the post went far far over the page.
(Moved to Off Topic as well) That IS funny! Thanks for sharing! Hah!

MSDOS
You shoot yourself in the foot, but can unshoot yourself with add-on software. Nah!

In the old days, MS-DOS allowed you to shoot yourself in the foot, but one could usually extract the bullet, and patch up the foot quite nicely.besides... MS-DOS isn't a programming language but a programming environment.


There are some quotes that could almost come off as jokes- until you realize they are true.

Quote

The generation of random numbers is too important to be left to chance.

Programmer produces code he believes is bug-free. Product is tested. 20 BUGS are found. Programmer fixes 10 of the bugs and explains to the testing department that the other 10 aren't really bugs. Testing department finds that five of the fixes didn't work and discovers 15 new bugs. Repeat three times steps 3 and 4. Due to marketing pressure and an extremely premature product announcement based on overly-optimistic programming schedule, the product is released. Users find 137 new bugs. Original programmer, having cashed his royalty check, is nowhere to be found. Newly-assembled programming team fixes almost all of the 137 bugs, but introduce 456 new ones. Original programmer sends underpaid testing department a postcard from Fiji. Entire testing department quits. Company is bought in a hostile takeover by competitor using profits from their latest release, which had 783 bugs. New CEO is brought in by BOARD of directors. He hires a programmer to redo program from scratch. Programmer produces code he believes is bug-free...

At a recent software engineering management course in the U.S., the PARTICIPANTS were given an awkward question to answer. "If you had just boarded an airliner and discovered that your team of programmers had been responsible for the flight control software, how many of you would disembark immediately?"

Among the ensuing forest of raised hands, only one man sat motionless. When asked what he would do, he replied that he would be quite content to stay onboard.

"With my team's software," he said, "the plane would be unlikely to even taxi as far as the runway, let alone take off."

Lol, why? Don't you like it?

Hello. Between march 2007 and march 2008 I was involved in testing a physics engine with a Japanese company called Polyphony Digital who make a driving simulator called Gran Turismo. During this process a brilliant Japanese cryptographer/physicist who was hired by Polyphony Digital developed a new type of code, which was used to control how the grip of the car would behave. This new code was then developed even further after I did a lot of testing with it.

This code worked like a chain so it could also run at a speed. I was able to make the speed of this chain run very quickly, quite easily. After about 1 week I managed to bring this code all the way to the speed of light. In order to do this I had to think and move at the speed of light over a short time, about 3 or 4 seconds each effort. When I did, the last decision I made with my left hand broke through the fabric of space -time. At this moment my arm became light. By the time I looked away from my arm all the matter around me had become light and then space. For about 10 seconds I could see nothing but perfect white light and it was conscious, powerful and infinite. Then the light seemed to draw my attention to my left where there was somebody sitting down. At the time I didn’t RECOGNISE this person as I was very shocked and the whole thing caught me by surprise.

With binary code travelling the speed of light it was now possible to run scientific equations in 3 dimensions. This allowed for the equation/test that FOUND the points of inertia in the car. I found all these points and they made up the shape of a cross in the base of the chassis. For the cross to function it had to be placed somewhere. Another physicist who was hired later on by Polyphony Digital figured out that it went above the car. I then suggested that there might be a halo around the car and there was. Another physicist found that the weight of the car is shaped like a pair of balls.

So this was confirmation that the light I saw was God and the person sitting to his right was Jesus. This system of inertia symbolises what it took for him to go through with his own crucifixion. You have to see it.

To add to this proof, as the process went on I began finding weak points in this new 3 dimensional code. I kept on breaking it, each time showing them exactly where to make it stronger. This continued until I couldn’t break it anymore. As I couldn’t do anything more with it, I suggested that they assume there is only light because that is what I saw when I broke through the fabric of space-time. This worked and they managed to create an environment made of light and it was more proof of what I had seen. I then made this environment of light perfect using mind power. Hard to believe I know but I developed a connection with the code, which had grown over 6 months and which always happened at the moment of inertia. So now the code is exactly what I saw when I broke through the fabric of space-time, which makes it God’s image. It isn’t hard to believe when you see it. It’s made of perfectly balanced positive and negative and every colour in the spectrum but perfect, white light travelling at the speed of light. I created something that just, is.

So to clarify everything shortly; this new code was a great piece of mathematics and after a lot of work from me it was perfectly filled with inertia information. Then I managed to take this code all the way to the speed of light. I made one last decision at the speed of light and accidentally broke through the fabric of space-time. Everything became light and it was conscious and there was a person sitting to my left who resembled Jesus but at that time I couldn’t say for sure who it was. Later on the points of inertia were found in the car by me. They were in the shape of a cross and this left the physicists with a cross. They eventually figured out that it went above the car in a system of inertia that controls how the weight of the car works. This confirmed who was sitting to my left earlier. A halo was then found around the car after I suggested it. Another physicist found that the weight of the car is shaped like a pair of balls. This system represents what it took for Jesus to go through with his crucifixion. It was built into the laws of physics so it could be found later on and everything I have just described has been recorded and can be watched from start to finish.

You have to believe me on what happened and what I saw because the owner of this video game, Kazonori Yamauchi decided to keep me in Ireland during the testing. Him and his employees would have also seen the light and what happened. There would have been more than one witness and it probably would have been recorded on video but seeing what’s there now is enough to believe I wouldn’t lie about it. The proof and evidence of everything I am saying is there but this sad old Japanese man has ended up with it.

There are some issues that have to be addressed. They haven’t made this public because a scientist would have to make this system of inertia work before they could say it is scientific proof or that it even exists. Even with the unfinished system of inertia, its very important that people see what has been found so far so that they can make their own decisions based on what is there.

This is my third attempt at writing this in 8 months. The first version was too short, the second version was too long and in total I have received 3 open minded replies out of a few thousand. This should have been made public in a serious and respectful manner but thanks to this soulless, sad little man, Kazonori Yamauchi, its all gone wrong. He caused all the problems and he is the reason there is only one witness. On top of that he stole a year of my life after I put everything into this process and he’s the reason you have to believe me under these unbelievable circumstances. He was just there all the time, contributed nothing but money and was even being emotionally needy at times and needed constant reassurance he was involved as there was a lot of genius going on by various people and he felt stupid because all he did was just sit there. Sad, really.

For anyone who reads this, please tell everyone you know. If you have the means to investigate it, I would advise it. It’s the biggest and most important story to break in about 2000 years and before that, 14 billion. I’m not a religious person and I have questioned my own sanity more than all the people who I’ve tried to share this information with so don’t bother.

I advise a boycott of Sony and Polyphony Digital so they have to show the proof now. Further action would be necessary to make sure that no individual or company should be the sole beneficiaries of this code, this information and this progress. This boycott would be a good step towards making sure that everyone benefits from this progress equally. I’m not looking for a following or anything. I’m trying to let people know what has been found, what they have to do to see it, that its rightfully there’s and what they have to do to get it. I can’t even launch legal proceedings so it’s out of my hands.

If you have any questions please ask. Any constructive criticism is welcomed. Any legal advice is greatly appreciated concerning international employment law intellectual property law and how to make public finding the points of inertia so I get my NOBLE prize. Anything else, keep it to yourself.


Colm.



“One giant leap for mankind. One decision for Colm.” The decision that broke through the fabric of space-time and made everything after that possible.

A car held all the secrets.

Inertia was the key to everything.

I see the part where everybody gets lost is when I mention breaking through the fabric of space-time. So I will try to explain how this happened in more detail. As I MENTIONED this new code looked like 2 dimensional squares. The testing I did perfectly filled these squares with information. So now these squares were solid with inertia information. Inertia is a very special force. When a car is drifting, the slightest touch will make the car skim along the track in a different direction. These squares behaved the same way. Each one was a perfect copy of the last so they had an unlimited supply which allowed them to fire them at my steering wheel indefinitely. When they were being fired at the steering wheel one touch at any time in any direction would send one SQUARE flying. If you shook your hand you would get quite a few and the speed would increase but you had to do all of this while drifting. I was able to get this chain to go so fast that they couldn’t build faster. There seem to be a few speed barriers that I had to get the code through. Each time I did, I had to consciously make it happen. So when I managed to make it work at the speed of light my last decision in an increasing number of decisions broke through the fabric of space-time. I had to break through the fabric of space-time to be fast enough to make that one last decision and I did. I didn’t know or think I was going to break through the fabric of space time but I had to in order to make it work. After that everything became light and the squares that were travelling in a straight line were now attached to each other in what looks a spring made of 3 dimensional squares. Does that make it easier to believe? Umm . . . right . . .it was all about one decision but your right. it is alot to comprehend.In the morning, I'll get my text-to-speech program to read that for me. haha. If i was good at typing, none of this would have happened.Just glancing at the post, your hand became light? one giant leap for mankind. one decision for Colm.Any link to this?

This is also a stereotype...

There is a folk SONG by JOHN Prine called "Angel From Montgomery."

I am an old woman named after my mother
My old man is another child thats grown old
If dreams were lightning thunder was desire
This old house would have burnt down a long time ago

Chorus:
Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery
Make me a poster of an old rodeo
Just give me one thing that I can hold on to
To BELIEVE in this living is just a hard way to go

When I was a young girl well, I had me a cowboy
He werent much to look at, just free rambling man
But that was a long time and no matter how I try
The years just flow by like a broken down dam.

Repeat chorus:

Theres flies in the kitchen I can hear em there buzzing
And I aint done nothing since I woke up today.
How the *censored* can a person go to work in the morning
And come home in the evening and have nothing to say.

Repeat chorus:

I have often noticed that many young males who are interested in computers are severely lacking in social skills and so probably their stereotyping of girls is due to the fact that they actually don't know all that many.

Toto. Any scene with Toto. I love the smaller Terrier breeds like Cairn and Yorkshire. In the books, Toto was first described as "a little black dog, with long, silky hair and small black eyes that twinkled merrily on either side of his funny, wee nose", which is why they chose a Cairn Terrier to play Toto in the movie. Baum never clearly stated in the early books what breed of dog it was. However, in later books, Baum changes Toto into a Boston Terrier, which bears little or no resemblance to Yorkshires or Cairns, or the dog described at Toto's first appearance in the books. No one really knows why he made this change.

I have this on DVD though. Most of my students here in Thailand have never seen it, but reading the book is part of my literature class. I let them watch the movie afterwards.

My favourite part is the credits. It also doubles as my hit-list.

I forget a lot about it- if that is the movie with the emerald city then that is my favourite part.

So instead of going through each and every e-mail one by one (which WOULD take a lot of time on this connection), I'm going to get rid of ALL my accounts on every website I joined, get rid of all my AddressGuard accounts, create some new AddressGuard accounts and then recreate the other forum accounts.


See you soon.

-- dairyman.Miss you Dairyman,

It's too sad you had to delete your account on CH because of stupid spam.

Hope to see you soon.
Good news, it went faster then expected.

Bad news, I've lost that (old) Firefox AVATAR where a women and Firefox are dancing, and IE comes up and gets pushed away. And I've lost my signature, but I can always get them back.If you haven't observed you lost your POSTS too!!!!

Welcome back.I noticed that. But it's OK. Most of the time when I CHECKED for new posts they were mostly in the forums games section of the forum.

Thanks.

-- dairymanhave you checked the internet archives for your avatar? www.archive.org
you might be able to COPY it off thereThanks for the link. But I'm going to make a new avatar this time.

-- dairymanNice to have you back. I could of saved you some trouble by simply removing or changing your e-mail address in your account until you figured things out so you wouldn't have to delete your account.Hey Dairyman, sorry for the bump but wasn't this it?

Someone was thinking when they came up with this idea!

The as-yet-unnamed robot uses electro-adhesion to cling to the wall, generating electrostatic charges between the wall substrate and itself to keep from falling. “The principle of operation is similar to electrostatic chucks used to hold SILICON wafers, or other specialized grippers for robotic HANDLING of materials,” senior researcher Harsha Prahlad explained to PM in an EMAIL last week. “The technology uses a very small amount of power ... and shows the ability to repeatedly clamp to wall substrates that are heavily covered in DUST or other debris.”

Trains in China

http://media.putfile.com/trains-in-China

that is like an over over over statement.....and pretty funnythat's AWESOME! lol That was wonderful..

Thank You evilfantasy !!! ROTFLI saw it on TV a minute ago, that's in Japan.Wow.. so much for safety. Would hate to see that TRAIN GET in an accident.Heh, the train might not get a dent because of the cushioning of the people inside Sheesh, it looks like they're TRYING to break a world RECORD.

Okay a few basics that were probably brought up that I don't know about.

1. Okay on CH you have ratings right like mentor an advisor an such but what do they do? I seen Patio had posted something about this but couldn't find it there after.

2. Why did I not get a congrats for reaching mentor? Is it cause some of my questions an answers are ill logical?1. the ratings are to make you feel good about yourself, and really nothing else.

2. there are two possibilities... 1. nobody really noticed. or 2. the RANK did not seem well deserved. on many, many occasions you have posted multiple times in a row despite my many reminders that it is extremely annoying. you also have at least 2 topics, that i am aware of, that are in excess of 6 pages that go nowhere and merely bolster your post count.Quote

Why did I not get a congrats for reaching mentor?

Yes well a noob cant obviously move a topic only mentors or something can do that an such.

Why did I not get a congrats for reaching mentor?

Like homer said, it's just to make you feel good about yourself. It also helps new people joining the forums know who to look up to.

2. Why did I not get a congrats for reaching mentor?

Thats good to hear from somebody partically. Cause you havent reached mentor that I know of.

Pretty COOL VIDEO I found....
http://www.vimeo.com/993998

I don't understand how some people have the patience to do something like that. cool yet insanely freaky. Very cool video. I saw this mentioned in a vlog I watched earlier today as I was EATING and was GOING to go hunting for it later today. Thankfully you SAVED me the time.

Happy birthday, my friend

I tried to find biggest possible cake quaxo,hope you enjoy your birthday friend.. Aww, isn't that nice?

Thanks Broni and Street1 and everyone ELSE who posts after (haha sorry, I'm not lazy, I just won't be here for the REST of the week to thank you all).

And now, the birthday entertainment:

I'm not 30, I'm 18 with 12 years of experience.

I still have a full deck; I just shuffle slower now.

Inside every OLDER person is a younger person - wondering what the *censored* happened.

Birthdays are good for you. Statistics show that the people who have the most live the longest.

Few women admit their age. Few men act theirs.

Wisdom doesn't necessarily come with age. Sometimes age just shows up all by itself.

A birthday is just the first day of another 365-day journey around the sun. Enjoy the trip.
happy birthday man! Sorry I'm late.

Happy Birthday Quaxo!Happy Birthday



I thought Patio didn't like this featureCongrats Quaxo ! !
And MANY Many More....Happy birthday Quaxo, sorry I'm late.Happy Birthday, belated!

I hope you have many more ORBITS around the sun. Ok, I'm back. And thanks to everyone Thought I stop by, sorry I took so long

Happy B-day

Sorry for the late reply missed this. HAPPY (late) BIRTHDAY!!

Repeating the question in this locked thread, what would you do with $1000 if you could only spend it at one store and which store would it be?

There's no issue with the question itself...just the SPAM attached to it.....
Carry On.
I'd buy 16 grenades. I'd use them for the good of humanity. If i happen to find anyone being bullied, i can stop the whole situation with a grenade.grenades are $62.50 each? hmmmmm.......

I would buy a Wii. I got to play one at a friends house this weekend. It was so cool!Oops, I'm didn't follow my own instructions........
I would go to circuit city, or WHEREVER they sell the Wii (not walmrat) and buy a wii and a COUPLE extra controllers, guitar hero, the sports pack, and a 24"-26" pc monitor.i would put it in the bank. Quote from: michaewlewis on May 19, 2008, 09:32:07 AM

any questions for the master?"the master?" hey! stop starting threads for Patio!

....anyway....
I really don't want to sound harsh or anything, but,
master of what? using programs other people developed to access other machines, and then claiming complete HAXOR SKILLZ despite the lack of any ability to write much less understand C or C++ code?

Oh dear, I'm sorry- that happens sometimes.

Even though you obviously know everything(why else would you spell the word "hacker" wrong in your name?), it is super uncool to go around public FORUMS and call yourself the master of.... well, anything really- unless such mastery could be proved. Since mastery in "remote commands" is really just a demonstration that you know how to read the text file manual included with some hacker tool. Unless of course you're actually talking about pumping TCP/IP network commands via C/C++ or some other respectable language in your own program, in which case I apologize. In fact, I apologize for my whole post, since it's starting to seem like a flame, but I'm trying to prove a point here- It's good that you can learn new things and such, but just because you can use the ping or Net Send commands in a command prompt doesn't mean you can call yourself the master.


On a final note, you can of course make me look REALLY silly if it turns out you actually don't fit the profile thus described. And If So, I apologize. In Fact I apologize anyway....


On a lighter note- what kind of questions? because I could dig up a lot of really hard questions if the topic is just computer related stuff.Quote from: BC_Programmer on May 10, 2008, 10:13:40 AM

He's probably 16 years old (hakerkid41493) and in the middle of a computer science class in high school and really wants to show everyone how much he knows.

okay douche bag you can shut up now I misspelled hacker on purpose.you just get your jollies off by going to a random person and start making fun of him when he didn't even say anything to be argued in the first place, and you don't even know what I know so shove it. thnx and don't "accidentally" fall off a cliff.

When I first started reading this I thought that you where talking about something else. I was hoping that there were replicating the cells on his finger to regrow the finger but I should have gussed.Hmmm...I wonder if I can get some of the PIG's brain cells... I wonder, it seems a little far fetched from just an explanation. How if possible are the VEINS,bones,nerves regrowing? I don't see how this is possible.You don't watch movies ENOUGH COST to much. Only get one clear channel out where I am.

I can't believe no one has already posted this! (If they have, my bad)

Any idea what the WHITE stuff is?I was going to guess milk on that SPILL picture. But looking at the trailer I don't think they'd transport milk in an open container like that. Maybe salt?they don't transport that much salt in this AREA..... i bet its some sort of fertilizer or lime. Farmers are always putting that stuff on their FIELDS here.

"I've had prospective jurors get lost before, but it NEVER occurred to me that they might be getting ready for a marijuana trial by, allegedly, smoking marijuana," Judge Ross told the Houston Chronicle.

We're guessing she's not going to be picked for the jury.

I Miss My Friend!

I miss my friend,
my friend who held my hand,
who played with me in the sand.

I miss the one who was there when I was down, who always acted the clown.

I miss my friend, I feel so alone,
you might as well have cast my heart into stone!

My friend has left me,
she has GONE as far as I can see!

My star once shone, bright and bold, but now I feel like it was sold!
My friend is all I had,
this is why I feel so sad!

Silly it might sound, so short and sweet,
I guess I must ADMIT defeat!!!I'm sorry.

May we ask what happened?

I gently suggest that loss is not the same as defeat.I feel that this loss is defeat because I have tried and tried to appologize but my friend just doesn't reply!

What happend was my friend tried to phone me, I answered and I was talking to her but I couldn't hear anything, I said her name a few times and nothing so I hung up!

I hung up coz I didn't want her to waste her money, she was phoning from ANOTHER country. Now she wont talk to me, I have tried explaining why I hung up.

I was hoping she would read this and replyShe should realize that, even in this age of digital communication, poor connections still happen -- especially in the cellular arena. There's also two sides to every story (the JOKE says three: "your" version, "my" version, and the truth). This is when friendship is the toughest, and means the most. She needs to hear your side.Oh Sweet Laura,

I already replied to your emails earlier today,

I'm so dreadfully caught up with college , It's the start and its very time consuming.

I was not upset at all infact I've read all the emails and PM you have sent me but I didn't have the time to reply , I have replied today.
Thankyou that you thought about saving my money for me, gosh you are very sweet.

You are really sweet Laura , my sweet best friend.

I miss you .

Just found out that you can text GOOGL with an address, business NAME, or category and GOOGLE will text you back with address and phone info...

for example, to find the nearest pizza HUT's address, text: "46645 pizza hut"
I wish I would have known about that a few days ago...That is cool. Although I THINK I'll stick with 1-800-GOOG-411. Which you can simply say your CITY and what you're looking for and if you want they can connect you to the store or location and/or text you the info.

Good ONE....LOLLMAO!
Is that actually real?It's too bad not to be real! (Like I know ANYTHING. )I don't know if it is real. I've seen it posted in a few DIFFERENT PLACES though.

I should have spelled it MensuhhhHehe nice.
