25-date TREK begins in Charlotte, N.C., will end in Calgary in December
Reuters
Updated: 4:02 p.m. ET Aug 13, 2007

LOS ANGELES - Van Halen will tour with David Lee Roth for the first time since the flamboyant singer quit more than 20 years ago, they announced at a news conference on Monday.

Roth, 52, spoke virtually nonstop at the event, promising that the band’s upcoming 25-date North American trek was merely the precursor to a world tour and to a new album.

“This is not like the Police,” Roth said, referring to another band that recently papered over personality differences to launch a one-off reunion tour. “The idea is that this will continue on and on and on.”

“We think we got it right this time,” Roth added. “You come and judge the performance harshly, please. I beg you, come on down and see.”

Roth’s reunion with guitarist Eddie Van Halen and his older brother, drummer Alex Van Halen, fulfills the fantasies harbored by the band’s fans ever since Roth quit in 1985 and was replaced by Sammy Hagar. But it is not a strict reunion of the classic lineup, famed for such hits as “Panama” and “RUNNIN’ with the Devil,” because bass player Michael Anthony has been replaced by Eddie’s 16-year-old son, Wolfgang.

Roth heaped praise on the band’s newest member, claiming Wolfgang picked the songs the band will perform, and “brings a young energy and a spirit to this that’ll knock you out of your socks.”

Asked about Anthony’s absence, Roth said, “This is not a reunion. This is a new band. ... Usually when a band comes back like us it’s rockers with walkers and this is EVERYTHING but. Meet us in the future, not the past.”

The tour begins September 27 in Charlotte, North Carolina, and wraps up December 11 in the Canadian city of Calgary. Key stops include Chicago (October 16, 18), New York City (November 13) and their native Los Angeles (November 20).

Roth and Van Halen were supposed to hit the road earlier, but PLANS fell through when Eddie Van Halen entered rehab in March for undisclosed issues. His illness scuttled a potential reunion at the group’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction later that month.

With Hagar at the helm, Van Halen maintained its WINNING edge into the 1990s, with such tunes as “Right Now” and “Why Can’t This Be Love.” Roth, meanwhile, faded into relative obscurity. In recent years, he had did stints as a paramedic and a morning radio show host.

The band’s luck ran out in 1996, when Hagar quit acrimoniously, Roth rejoined to record two songs and was then replaced by a third singer, Gary Cherone. His sole album with the band, 1998’s “Van Halen III” tanked, and the band spent much of the subsequent decade in the wilderness.

Eddie Van Halen battled cancer during this time, and his marriage to actress Valerie Bertinelli ended.

[showing my age here* I saw these guys in the early eighties (Diver Down concert) and it was one of the better concerts I had been to) Van Halen is VERY-LOUD in concert be warned, Eddy is absolutely amazing "live" !! Highly recommended concert as long as Dave remembers the words.......

slim chrissy!

OK, so I'm back, and so on.
But I still don't have a lot of time, sorry.
So don't expect to see me around much.
With that in mind, I'll keep my (slightly odd) question brief.

Are there any Land Rover EXPERTS or enthusiasts here?
I ask because if there are not there isn't much point asking my other questions.
Also, does anyone know of any good Land Rover FORUMS?
I have found several through the miracle of Google, but I'd like a good one, so if someone knows of one with a good reputation or some good people please reply.
Thanks in advance.
Calum.A friend of mine is a Landrover expert but he doesn't do the internet thing Calum.
If you have some specific questions I can run them past him for you.Pretty general stuff really.
I'm looking at getting a classic (pre-72, no road tax) Land Rover as my first car, on the recommendation of a friend.
Basically, I'm just trying to find out how feasible it is, and what I need to be looking for. Not having owned a car before, I have only a basic knowledge of all things vehicular.

A few of the questions I have are as follows.
How practical is a Series Land Rover to a new driver? I may or may not have driven one before (it's illegal to drive without a license, so of course I haven't, officially, but if I did it was on a deserted woodland road with no danger involved, and I found it pretty easy) but is it too hard to navigate the road in one?
What sort of fuel efficiency can I expect? If I'm looking at a gas guzzler that I have to put £100 of petrol in each week it's no use, I haven't got that sort of money.
And, following from that, what engine should I look for? Petrol or diesel? And what size? WHat are the benefits of each, and the drawbacks?
What are the major differences, other than age, between the Series 1, 2, 2A and 3 Land Rovers?
Am I right in discounting the Forward Control models? As I understand it they are fairly rare and look a bit like a motor home, I don't think they'd be much good to me.
There are long wheel base and standard wheel base variants. I understand that LWB are larger and can therefore fit more people/stuff in them and SWB are better for off-roading (which I don't plan on doing a lot, at least not to the extent that SWB vs LWB will be important). Are there any other differences or reasons I should get the long or standard variants?
How easy is a Series Land Rover to repair? Could I learn to repair and maintain it myself?

I think that's everything for now but if I think of anything else I'll add it in.
I understand if your friend doesn't want to spend time answering some random 16-year old's newbie questions, so no worries if they don't have time or whatever, or if I'm barking up the wrong tree entirely.Mate, unless you live in a remote area without roads then I suggest you forget the landrover idea all together.
16 years old, limited money, limited car knowledge = Go & buy an old Escort. InThe-UK-ThinkToyota

AlsoHere Yep Toyota MAKE great cars. Mate, are you wanting to learn how to drive in a Landrover?!

Ummm i play acoustic guitar,

There is a few of my songs i recorded there not very good but HEY i am trying ill be adding more soon Well I play a BIT of AM mostly FM though. Ignoring modesty I am very good at playing it.I'm considered as a rock star at my school for renowned Guitair playing. I'm currently in POSSESION of 5 Gutars including my very cool Line 6 Variax.

James.I play the violin , atleast i make it shriek!

God appeared me in the sky I almost can't see Him, He is just like a sun rays that strikes in my eyes. The angels are singing a beautiful song that I never heard before. Im very comfortable, the air is so fresh, and I know I'm in the place of paradise. I know at that time Im very tired and I want to sleep so long. Im almost surprised it's only a dream, a dream that always remind me to have a conversation with God.

Although I say fake still fun to watch these UFO's in this video. After Bungee sold off to Microsoft I dropped out of the Halo game, so any Halo players out there (I know there are a few) let me know if this is some type of Microsoft Campaign since many of the posts say they are Halo 3 UFO's.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=up5jmbSjWkwI have seen a UFO but it didn't look like that.
Perhaps it was from a different PLANET or a new model, the one I saw was 30 years ago.
(Not joking about this, deadly serious)I wish I saw a UFO.... that would be so cool...I wish I saw and board their UFO and steal it.the things AROUND the edge look like the tops of the palm trees o.O
im not sure about this but flying saucers are real.. the first flying saucers that could fly were MADE in natzi germany during the second world war by the english electric company , they were destroyed on the runways when they were INVADED near the end of the war I've seen stuff like that on tv, but it's all real, they are just driods that the army uses, and they could easily be mistaken for UFOs.Its fake the ships have been modded onto the video..... Round twoHehehe.... the second one kinda looked like an imperial cruiserHeh, I went on one of the video responses to this (there's quite a few, ACTUALLY), and there were hundreds of comments about if it's a hoax or not....

There have been some Halo talk around here and I know quite a lot of people PLAY Halo so i've decided to make a comic SERIES called Halo Pixelated.

Pretty good site when you're bored:P


*note* Some comics have a LITTLE strong language...Yeh, this site is awesome Have you added any new ONES recently?Working on a few right now Cool Tell me when you're done, so I can have a little COL I guess I dont get it because I dont play Halo...

But, you might also try going into your profile and adding your site next to your messenger/email settings

Dark BLADE, I just got 2 up there.
Thanks for that Zylstra, forgot all about that

OK, I feel like showing off for a bit, so here I am.

After many months of production, my game is finally done! Note that this is meant to show scientific principles, so unfortunately I can't include grenades, RPGs or mini-guns. But still, it's an alright game. I would just like to see what y'all think.

AAPJ Download
I hope this is the RIGHT one...I like the game. Good work.

Skua/Dynamic--->WISH I could kill it. That stupid bird!!!!!!!!!!! tried eating me!!!

Nice work Dark blade!!!

Nice game!!
I Enjoy it.

Jonas Great Job !! I think its awesome ~ i still wish i could try it, but it won't go on my computer >.<
maybe my winzip's screwed... Try winrar , or i will send it to josh trsytan and he will send it to you if you WANT Yeah that sounds good.

Hey how do you TURN the game off?What, get out of it? You go to the menu and press Exit.Umm... no menus, and I have to Ctrl+Alt+Del to close it Quote from: Comp Guy on August 19, 2007, 03:09:00 PM

Umm... no menus,

For administration: This is NOT CONSIDERED off-topic because this sub-sub-section under Home > Other > Off-Topic > Forum games is for posting information about games and this is exactially what this is so you have no right to suspend this post.

For all: I am not responsible for any of the apps you open to mess up because you have changed the time in your PHONE or exploited this exploit in this game. Thank you

I just got the game yesterday and today I already have 203MB dollars! (That is million billion.) A friend showed me this game and I though it was cool do I got the game too. At first, I thought it was really about being at a strip club. Really, now all I think it was meant to be was a fun game that you have fun making it rain and ranking up money. I was thinking of some ways to increase my money assesibly and I have found one. First of all, open the game and get as much money to increase your bucket size. Get it at LEAST as big at 5k or more. Then press the home button on your iPhone/iPod/iPad and go to Settings > GENERAL > Time & Date > Switch of "Set Automatically". Then click the row two rows down from "Set Automatically". Set the time a couple days later depending on how FAST your bucket fills up. Then double-tap your home button and switch back to Make It Rain. In your bucket you show see it filled up to the top or not depending on how fast your bucket fills up and how much days or hours you skipped foward. This might also affect other apps you open while your time is changed. To change your time back to normal, switch on "Set Automatically".

Hope you guys enjoyed this very small tutorial but it can work as many times as you want. See you in the next post! First of all, try not to sound like you're giving orders. Second, I'm moving this to the games forum where it belongs.Ok that's fine. I thought it went under off topic because it wasn't a computer game. Derp It does belong in off-topic, you're right - just not in the "forum games" area where you originally had it. We were both wrong . I'll move it to the correct spot now and sorry for the sea sickness.No problem, just a small mistake, we all have it some times.

Currently, I am 11 and almost 12. My birthday is coming up in May so I picked out some things on the Apple Store app and adding then to my birthday list. I don't want to go to OVERBOARD but I have been wanting a laptop for a while and decided to choose a Apple Mac OS X Yosemite. The only thing on my list is a 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display.

If you’re looking elsewhere for a slim, fancy wedge of a laptop, you’ll find many choices. Ever since the arrival in 2008 of so-called Ultrabooks, exemplified by the first MacBook Air, we’ve been living in a golden age of laptops. These uber-portable PCs offer solid performance in impossibly slender frames weighing less than 3 pounds. Depending on the machine, prices are low, too—a consumer-friendly side effect of the STRUGGLING PC business.

This is off topic. Thais is about RFID chips placed under human skin.

Yes, these are old stories now. From 2013 onward.
My question is: Why is there no more information on this topic?
Those links are clearly for some conspiracy theory sites, if you insist on linking news articles, please do so from reputable sources. Surely the fact that you can't find any evidence in other places indicates that the information on those links is obviously made up... Fair replay. Some are say in it will kill you. That is rather extreme. People with Guns ALREADY do that all the time. More likely, the implant will put you in JAIL. But resisting arrest could kill you i too.
Now did you sees this?

...following Wisconsin and North Dakota, California issued Senate Bill 362 in 2007, which prohibits employers and others from forcing anyone to have a RFID device implanted under their skin.
On April 5, 2010, Georgia, Atlanta, Senate passed Senate Bill 235 that prohibits forced microchip implants in humans and that would make it a misdemeanor for anyone to require them, including employers.

However, the medical arguments against the device are based on evidence, not hysterical.

In December of 1999, WIT literally saved the world, after our computer science researchers managed to stop the Y2K virus from spreading globally. The Y2K virus would have caused airplanes to fall from the sky, the stock market to crash, cars to stop functioning, cell phones to randomly dial strangers, and more. WIT’s tireless work led to several WIT researchers being awarded a Nobel Peace Prize in 2000, and Presidential Medals of Freedom in both 2000 and 2001.

Just throwing this out there - We already do this exact same thing to dogs and cats and I'm not aware of any problems with those injuring animals when they come too close to a magnetic source or whatever those tinfoil hat people claim. They are also passive RFID devices, the range is extremely short usually less than a metre.

The SECRETARY shall establish a national medical device registry (in this subsection referred to as the 11 ‘registry’) to facilitate analysis of post-market safety and 12 outcomes data on each device that— ‘‘(A) is or has been used in or on a patient; and ‘‘(B) is— ‘‘(i) a class III device; or ‘‘(ii) a class II device that is implantable, 17 life-supporting, or life-sustaining.

Like you said, the mas media used this a a means to grab your attention. The sad thing is that it was broadcast by NBC here in the USA and, to o my knowledge, no retraction was made.

ALBANY – Gov. Andrew Cuomo's administration is defending its policy to AUTOMATICALLY delete state AGENCY employees' emails after 90 days despite continued CRITICISM from lawmakers, open-government advocates and legal expert

According to a recent report by the Los Angeles Times (LAT), the Coachella's use of RFID (radio-frequency identification) wristbands to track attendees has been extended beyond just ticket holders to residents living around the Empire Polo Field where the festival takes place, even though forcing these tracking chips on the public is against the law.

No one can so much as get within a mile of the Empire Polo Field, where Coachella is held, without wearing one. Local residents, whose homes surround the polo field, also have to wear one just to get to their houses, and Guitron said homeowners must also register their cars.

Panama Canal Water Problem.
Quote

Currently, an average of 34 ships go through the canal every day, and it takes about 52m gallons of water – roughly 82 Olympic-sized swimming POOLS’ worth – to move each one. That water comes from Gatun Lake and Alajuela Lake, which are fed by the Chagres River. A recent dry spell – linked to El Niño, the temporary warming of surface ocean temperatures in the eastern Pacific – caused the lakes’ water levels to drop significantly.

Is There Another Reason For Toyota to Make a Hydrogen Fuel Cell Car?

But a economical Hydrogen Fuel cell could be used in many applications besides transportation. And it is not a dream, they have already done most of the work.
Quote

Recently, Toyota announced production of the Mirai hydrogen fuel cell car to be sold in California. But what is a hydrogen fuel cell? Without going into all the DETAILS, the basic idea is that you can get an electrical current when you combine hydrogen with oxygen (you also get water).

If you need a reliable battery with a large fuel supply, hydrogen fuel cells are a good choice. For EXAMPLE – in space, hydrogen fuel cells are a perfect choice. If everyone on Earth used the fuel cell, we would have a problem making enough hydrogen (and storing it).

Thanks for the interesting read. I thought the author was getting side tracked until it all came together in the end..

I wish to buy a Smartphone/iPhone for my wife - our TomTom in the car is getting old. Which is cheaper and more advisable? A Smartphone/iPhone with GPS (throw away TomTom), or Smartphone/iPhone without GPS (buy a new TomTom)?
Thanks for any advice.Pretty much any decent smartphone will come with GPS nowadays so it's not LIKE you have to pay loads more to get a smartphone with it. I would definitely go down the route of getting a single smartphone to use as GPS. The only thing to bear in mind is that smartphones tend to need an internet connection to use GPS to get maps and directions, therefore whatever smartphone you buy you would need to make sure you have some sort of mobile DATA on your plan.It depends on what app you use for gps navigation as to whether an internet connection is needed or not. For instance, on Android phones, many people use Google Maps to navigate with but that app requires a data connection because it constantly downloads map data as you drive along. However, you could get an app like CoPilot Live which stores it's map data locally on the phone and does NOT need a data connection while navigating. The drawback is that the app needs a Gig or more of your phone's storage space to store it's maps. Also, CoPilot costs around $10 to buy whereas Google Maps is free.

I don't now what gps navigation apps come with an iPhone but CoPilot is available on that platform as well.Another point. GPS might reefer to a s pacific technology.

Top Internet Job Search Job Scams 2014
By Alison Doyle
There are a variety of internet job scams, ranging from fake jobs, to scams that try and collect your personal information, or ask you to send money or make purchases for them. Here's a list of online scams shared by About.com readers ...

While thinking about making money, it’s also important to note how to avoid losing it too. While there are many legitimate ways to make money at home, there are also plenty of SCAMMERS out there too. Christine Durst, author of The Rat Race Rebellion, says her research indicates the ratio of scams to legitimate opportunities is 42 to 1.

Home agent
A home agent is a catchall term that includes tasks like phone sales, market research, customer service and tech support. In other words, it's any job that you would normally do in a large call center with hundreds of other people, but you do it from home ...

Freelancer
For those skilled in creative or technical areas like graphic design, video and image editing, writing or programming, you can try the life of a freelancer. There are plenty of job boards expressly for freelancers and people who WANT to hire them.
...
E-book author
If you can write, but don't want to write for someone else, being an e-book author might be the job for you. With publishers getting $3 billion in sales on e-books last year – and that doesn't include self-published e-books – there's definitely money to be made..

Cars that run on natural gas are touted as efficient and environmentally friendly, but GETTING enough gas onboard to make them practical is a hurdle. A new study promises to help. Researchers have calculated the best candidates among possible metal organic frameworks to store natural gas for cars.

Just thought it would be kind to post a heads up here to help out.

I have a notice on a couple of my sites from the PHPBB team that their site has suffered a serious security breach.

I know this site uses different software, but it can't hurt to help out in such matters.

At least, I can't see how it can hurt, so forgive me if I'm WRONG. And there might just be one or two members here that have ACCOUNTS over there and haven't logged into their APPROPRIATE email accounts to see the notice that goes to those that don't actually have any phpBB software on their sites.

I was wanting to know weather someone would be nice enough to design me an operating system.

I got quite fascinated with MS Windows a few years ago, the whole evolution of the system. I took a look at the first ever version of Windows. It wasnt actually an OS, just an application which ran on top of Microsofts then-popular MSDOS. It was simpl enough to use but I was saddened by the fact no one wanted to re-create it. so if anyone out there could design or even give me help on designing it with me that would be good (create it and hand me the source code so that I can embed it onto a CD or floppy).

I want it to be a little better than the original version, here are the features I want (Some of these were not present in the original software):
>Keeping the MS-DOS executive but renaming it to the name of the operating system (ie: "(OSName)-Executive2 or just CALL it "File-Executive")
I would be happy if you named it after yourself (such as SteveOS being Steve-Executive)
>I dont care about Internet Access, but it would be a nice addition

> Personalisation - Desktop Wallpapers appliance. In Windows 1.0 you could only change the desktop colors or colors to other features such as window title bars or menu bars. I would like to be able to apply a desktop wallpaper

Another feature is only apply the files and folders required for the system running such as system files. I dont want to have folders I dont know what to do with so I can manually add a "My Documents" or personal folder(s) if I wish

Please could someone make this possible?
This request is like asking for some stranger to build you the Titanic for free.

The best WAY to make a custom OS would be to start with Linux and tweak it to your liking in the source code which is open source and then once you like what you have and if you want to share it with others you can name it and document what source it is based off of etc.

I have made custom Live Knoppix CD's etc that are Linux based and free to share with others.

Keeping the MS-DOS executive but renaming it to the name of the operating system (ie: "(OSName)-Executive2 or just call it "File-Executive")

create it and hand me the source code so that I can embed it onto a CD or floppy

This is more that off topic. It is off the wall.


Reason why computers get slower.
... because the updates make the computer fatter?
... virus things slow don the clock?
... big hard drives get smaller with time?
... when the internet slows down it drags you computer with it?

^ error - can not end sarcasm in context!

Ask AROUND. Some of the answers are even more goofy.
People are being told to get a new computer if the olde one is old. !I put the #1 culprit on hard disk drive failing/failure combined with incompetent/unscrupulous techs. Drive failures really do manifest themselves in a way that can easily be mistaken for the system itself crumbling apart, and inscrupulous technicians can easily use that as a launching point "Yep, the entire system board failed, here, buy this new system" (and incompetent techs can come to the same conclusion).

I think 'obsolescence' in terms of computers is a bit contrived. Not being able to run Windows 7 or Windows 8 or a newer Linux distribution doesn't mean a system is necessarily useless- Depending on what a person does, they probably don't need the latest hardware. If a person just needs to use a computer to print out their weekly Goat enthusiast newsletter, they can get by with a Laserjet 3 and a 386, for example. A lot of the time when people purchase a computer it is based on what they want to do with it, but not always what they actually do with it, if that makes any sense. Sometimes it is a way for them to "justify" the cost of the new system "Sure, it's expensive, but now I can get back into drafting" so they go all in and buy AutoCAD and such... then they use it for FACEBOOK and watching cat videos on youtube.Some years ago I had no choice but to buy a new unit -- actually, many years ago -- because the two I had were like really, really so slow. BUT I still have them and a big BOX of the floppy discs with all sorts of neat programs on them. And I mean the original floppies, where the name came from. See, those two old geezers up there on that shelf are Trash 80s. Actually, I have parts of a third that was stripped to make its brothers work.

And to explain how slow I tell folks that I could input a command and go make lunch and eat it and come back and maybe, just maybe, the command would have been run.

About 10 something years ago I was yakking with some folks and mentioned I was probably going to throw them away and one bloke gave me a stunned look and said I'd be a fool to do that as they would someday be collector's items. So I've kept them. That might have been more like 15 years ago. Been a long time. I did have to reinforce the shelf where they now pass their days. They are seriously heavy.

Strange, as I type this post, I am reminded of so many years ago when I used to dazzle friends with things I could do on those units. Awful long time ago. Might even be said to be another era. Guess that's right, isn't it? But even then some of us knew what was coming. And you should read some of the stuff I think will happen in the future. Of course, some close friends have read tidbits of my thoughts on the future of this field and they just chuckle or smirk and say, "There you go again. We know you're nuts. No need to keep proving it." Like my idea of a single family of languages for all devices and programs. And I am even thinking that it might be narrowed down to just one language, no single family that would have what might be described as dialects.

And my thoughts on what is going to replace the hard drive -- well, that would just have you leaving the room. Yep, I also know I'm nuts. But I can't turn off the visions. Heck, I still remember the first time somebody gave me the program for the little dancing fellas for my TRS80. We've come a long, long way since then.

Google Fiber in Kansas City apartments
Although Google Fiber offers free Internet service (in exchange for a $300, one-time INSTALLATION fee), it hasn’t DONE much to expand Internet access in Kansas City. A big part of the reason is that many poor people live in apartments and few landlords in poor areas have signed up for service. The green dots show apartments with Google Fiber in Kansas City. The darker areas have higher poverty rates. The red line is Troost Avenue, the HISTORICAL boundary in racially segregated Kansas City.

Google's next two markets – Provo, Utah and Austin, Texas – are also in the middle of the country, and Kansas City assistant city manager Rick Usher says that's not a coincidence.
"If you graph regulatory requirements, coast to coast, it's like a jump rope – really high on the coasts and lower in the middle," he said.
Portland, though, has been similarly accommodating, crafting a custom "broadband franchise" for Google, approving a LEASE agreement for the company's "fiber huts" – the company wants to put more than a dozen equipment sheds around town – and rewriting city rules so Google can put 200 small "utility CABINETS" along streets around Portland.

I'll purposely make that a really open sort of topic title so you folks in places that also get shook up from time-to-time can stick in news from your area.

Me, I'm in Japan and have been for a few decades and I am sure you folks know what happened to us on March 11th, 2011.

So I have been sort of keeping a closer eye on our jishin activity (jishin = earthquake) and this morning we had a CUTE one.

5.1 magnitude just off the coast of extreme western Fukui Prefecture and -- get this -- 360km deep. Yep, that's 3 digits there!

And it registered on our little sensors over on the other side of Japan in Fukushima Prefecture and Ibaraki Prefecture.

I just did a bit of research and that area of Fukui doesn't seem to have had such a deep quake in a very long time, if EVER. Note "a bit" of research. No time right now for more.

But that is a weird shake for us and that's saying something, because we get all kinds of weird shakes in this area of the world.A number of earthquake web sires are available.

Or just Google 'Earthquake News'I'm sorry, I didn't mean to imply I needed links to sites to get information -- I have all sorts of links. I was just posting some recent news on the sunject. Have I erred in some way? Such sorts of topics aren't allowed?Nothings wrong. Say what you want. It is off topic.
I SELDOM feel earthquakes. I live in California.
I asked my wife if we should move to Nebraska. She said no because they have tornadoes there.
Well, your wife is right about a tornado being a very unkind Mother Nature event. I lived in Oklahoma back in the mid-70s and had the unfortunate experience of driving into Wichita Falls right after they had a really nasty tornado hit.

We used to drive into TEXAS to get a better beer to take back to Ft Sill where we were stationed. Don't know about now, but used to be the beer in Oklahoma was so weak. I think it was the same on the post/fort to conform to local laws, but was a long time ago and now I'm wondering about that.

Anyway, I've seen what a twister can do and it ain't nice.

Of course, earthquakes aren't so nice either, some of the times. We have them so MUCH over here, especially since March 11th, 2011, that it's gotten to where I can pretty much judge the rough location by the feel of the shake. Like that one we had recently that was very bad in Nagano Prefecture -- that one I knew right away was not in one of the usual areas and that it was a bad one. And it sure was a bad one. But I don't think we've had any deaths from it, if nobody has died of injuries. But given how bad it was it really is amazing Mother Nature didn't claim any of us poor humans when She pulled that stunt on us.

Of course, if Mother Nature has Internet access and is reading this post I apologize to Her and will do/give/observe proper reflection on my bad manners as shown in my choice of vocabulary in this post, as in calling Her events stunts. What a crude human I am.

Hi everyone I would like to know how to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit in a batch file and vice vers I hope that you can help me thanksWhy do you want to use a batch file? Batch arithmetic can only use whole numbers (integers) so your conversions would not be very accurate. Anyhow, if you know the arithmetic needed, which is obvious when you think about it (Fahrenheit has 180 degrees from freezing point of water to boiling, and starts at 32, while Celsius has 100 degrees and starts at 0), you can use the SET /A COMMAND which is documented in MANY places, including at the prompt by typing SET /?.
thanks I will try that...

Yup! it worked out great thanks for the help!
TEMPERATURE converter scripts are found everywhere. So there is no real advantage of doing it in batch. The OP did not say why he NEEDS it in batch.
Here is one in Python:
http://www.pythonforbeginners.com/code-snippets-source-code/python-code-celsius-and-fahrenheit-converter
The above is also a nice short introduction to Python. There is something weird about this thread.

well i came across this lesson in my C++ tutorial ( C++ for dummies 5th edition )

Code: [Select]#include<iostream>

using namespace std;



INT main()

{

float fahrenheit, celsius;



cout << "Enter the temperature in Celsius : ";

cin >> celsius;

fahrenheit = (celsius * 9.0) / 5.0 + 32;

cout << "The temperature in Celsius : " << celsius << endl;

cout << "The temperature in Fahrenheit : " << fahrenheit << endl;

return 0;

}

but this would be need to be compiled befor it is of any useOr use this:
http://immigrationroad.com/life-in-us/easy-card-reference/Fahrenheit-to-Celsius-Conversion-Table.pdf
Just write a batch file to show the file to the user and he can do the conversion himself using his visual abilities.

Some companies are now asking you to answer a list of questions to help identify you in case you lose your password. But that can weaken, not improve your security. Do you need to let your bank to now the name of your high school sweetheart? The name of your favorite pet? The name of your favorite TEACHER?
If they will not let your op out of the insane questionnaire, give them names NOBODY could ever guess. Like:
Code: [Select]unique Welsh baby names
Emlyn (boy)
Anwen (girl)
Guinevere (girl)
Gareth (boy)
Rhys (boy)
Rhian (girl)
Gwendolyn (girl)
Glynn (boy)
Merlyn (boy)
Bronwyn (girl)
... if you are not Welsh! Or, if you are not Greek:
Code: [Select]unique Greek baby names
Alec (boy)
Angel (girl)
Kira (girl)
Dorian (boy)
Titus (boy)
Zoey (girl)
Iris (girl)
Xander (boy)
Phoenix (boy)
Georgia (girl)
Or just make your own. And write it down somewhere. Like on the bottom of your keyboard. The possibility of somebody breaking into you house and fining the list is very small compared to a 'brute force' attack for a hostile web site.

Also, search the web for 'unique baby names' and find lots more. But never ever give out revealing information about your private life.
All the online security reset info, I always use an answer that is no wheres near any relation to the question such as Mothers Maiden Name = TheyKilledKenny or something totally RANDOM... but yes its a good idea to write it down somewheres.

On that note I created an alias online game account and lost my security reset info, and only knew the e-mail address that was registered to this online game. I am able to click to receive a password reset e-mail, but without the info of this alias, I forever lost access to this online game. The worst thing with this is that I could have sworn that i wrote the info down as well as created a screenshot saved with the alias info, and yet I havent located the screenshot or the paper that it was written on. So although the game is free to play and I have control over the e-mail account to send/receive e-mail that isn't good enough to prove ownership of the account. good way, thanks for sharing The problem with screen shots is you forget where you put them. And you forget the name.

Myself, I copy and paste password related details into a text file. The text file can be later FOUND in a search. You can add some random comments to the text file to make it hard for a spy to realize there is a password in the file. If you can recall any of the random comments you made, you can search for all files with a word. Then you just have to look through maybe a dozen small text files that have the word.

Does anybody KNOW at what bitrate our voice is transmitted when we talk over the telephone?
If anybody know please help me....Sorry I did not see this earlier.
The human voice transmits sound caustically. The base frequency of a male voice is from 90 to 120 cps. But it is an analog structure. Some artifacts EXTEND above 10,000 cps. The level is normally about 60 decibels above the threshold of hearing in normal conditions.

(NOTRE the term Hertz is used now instead of CPS.)

To transmit the vice digitally, some kind of analog to digital converter is used. Many local telephone companies still used analog for all local telephone calls. For long distance digital transmission must be used. The has been the case fort a number of years now.
A common practice is to sample the voice using a rate of about 8000 cps which can reproduce sounds to about 4000 Hertz. After digital conversion it might bew transmitted at a rate of 64,000 bps. (Bits Per Second.)
For the exact values, ask a telephone engineer.
Sorry I can not find a specific reference that gives the exact answer. Some local Telcos may use different bit rates to meet needs is some areas.
This deference may help. Sort of.

This post is a very brad consideration of Embedded Systems/8051 Micro controller and similar devices.
Please bear with me.
Introduction:
Quote

The Intel 8051 micro controller is one of the most popular general purpose micro controllers in use today. The success of the Intel 8051 spawned a number of CLONES which are collectively referred to as the MCS-51 family of microcontrollers, which includes chips from vendors such as Atmel, Philips, Infineon, and Texas Instruments.

Typical applications
8051 chips are used in a wide variety of control systems, telecom applications, robotics as well as in the automotive industry. By some estimations, 8051 family chips make up over 50% of the embedded chip market.

I tryed to install chromium os from hexxxer "BUILD 4028" version into Fusion 6. it still reports "no CONNECTIONS available".

I FOUND the solution below,

Hexxeh Chromium OS Vanilla no connections available

Following this HELPFUL document, I have EDITED the VMX file to add ethernet0.virtualDev = "e1000" but vmware fusion 6

reported "Error" for this additional statement.

Does anyone know the solution for this problem?

Thank you for your help in advance.

I store nothing in the so called "cloud"...

What software would you never be able to live without?

By this, I mean things you use every day.
I've always had an interest in different software programs and lately I've felt like I reached the end of what I know. There is a novelty to finding new programs and trying them out; so, I want to hear what y'all are using all the time.

Mine are Notepad++, Chrome, GIMP, Defraggler (runs automatically for me), 7Zip, VLC, UltraCopier, Pidgin, LibreOffice.

-ZI will make 2 lists, one with every day and others I cant live without which may not be used daily but used quite frequently.

Used Daily List:

Firefox for web surfing

Thunderbird for having all e-mail accessible in 1 LOCATION with the feel of outlook. http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/

Adobe Flash Plugin for videos, music, and some games

iTunes - music

Can't Live without List:

JitBit Macro Recorder PRO - ( $69 ) I am able to automate by recording once redundant keyboard and mouse routines fast and compile them as EXE's to place on to other systems to farm info off the web etc more info here: http://www.jitbit.com/macro-recorder/

GetDataBack (All Versions) - ( $79 ) Bought this a few years back and works very well for getting data recovered from damaged hard drives that still spin up. https://www.runtime.org/data-recovery-software.htm

FRAPS - ($37) I use this to record online multiplayer game events as well as create how to videos without having to spend a fortune ( $300 ) on Camtasia. Prior to fraps I was using the free CamStudio, but CamStudio has aged without hardware support for modern audio hardware and so while it still may work for recording your display as you see it, it errors out on new audio hardware. I used this years ago before fraps and while it was ok for how to videos, gaming info captures were grainy and sometime laggy as for it was encoding on the fly, whereas fraps works best because its a direct dump to hard drive so you dont lose quality of the captured content. Fraps was only like $40 compared to $300 Camtasia Studio in which I didnt need all the editing features etc. http://www.fraps.com/

VirtualDub - ( FREE ) Processes my large video captures from FRAPS and encodes them into much smaller AVI files without any significant loss of image quality. I can take a 20 minute gaming event that is 10GB in size and squeeze it down to a 500MB AVI video file that has no drastic loss in quality. I then delete the 10GB bloated fraps file to free the HDD up for the next game capture. http://www.virtualdub.org/

Notepad++ - ( FREE ) Prior to this I was using Crimson Editor also another free feature rich & color schemed editor supporting many launguage formats for manual coding outside of a normal IDE. Here is link for Crimson Editor which I have used for years prior to Notepad++ http://www.crimsoneditor.com/

HTTrack - ( Free ) I dont use this so much anymore, but I use to use this to gather information off the web to take around with me offline. It allowed me to copy a websites contents to a laptop so that when I went on the road and did not have internet, I could still reference this information from the state it was in when last captured for offline use. This was important when I was buying and selling collectables and needed to know the current market value for millions of different items. I was able to look at what someone had to offer and instead of going with gut instinct on what I believe its worth over what they are asking for it, I'd walk to a corner and fire up my laptop and look up the info, and the info is as good as last captured before leaving for the collectable show, and so I can see if the market is good, if the price went up or down in a certain period of time, and know what its really worth vs taking a gut instict chance on it. *This tool at my side for market info made me LOTS of money and saved me from buying items that I thought were worth more, but actually worth the same or less than asking price. But I haven't used this in a few years because I dont have the time anymore to drive around to auctions and shows to look around for an item to buy and make a good margin on resale of. Here is the link: http://www.httrack.com/

Web Thumbnailer - ( FREE ) - This tool was useful for capturing a digital microfilm like image of websites that did not copy for offline use with HTTrack because they had dynamic content and flash etc. This tool allowed me to logon to sites that I paid a subscription for access to the information, and then take a screenshot that was of the entire page, not just the viewing area on a 19" display, but if the page was one that you needed to scroll up or down on a list, it captured the entire page in a long stretched JPG image. I then was able to open the JPG file and then zoom in and scroll up or down on the image file to view the pricing information that was current as of the capture. * One NOTE I'd like to state about this free program is that while it works 99.9% of the time, it sometimes is buggy. Also there is a limit to how many URL lines you can place into the list. I think the limit was 256 lines ( urls ) Here is the link: http://www.priyatna.org/webthumbnailer.php

RAMDisk - ( Free & Paid Versions ) - This tool allows you to allocate a portion of your otherwise unneeded extra system RAM to act as a Hard Drive, however the data in the RAM is subject to loss on power failure or shutdown, so you have to be careful with what you place onto this space. Its mainly used to load information from a SSD or HDD to RAM in this allocated space that acts as a drive, and the data then that is on this RAM Drive is able to read/write super fast because its ready in RAM direct for the CPU when called. When done with use, the changes are then written back to the SSD or HDD before shutdown if configured correctly. The benefits to this for the free version for non-commercial use is if you have something that can fit within 4GB of RAM space that you want to load lightning fast or something that otherwise would take a while and over work a hard drive such as hundreds of thousands of read/write instructions. I have used this with a script that updated a MySQL database which prior to use of this on a 500GB SATA II 7200rpm HDD it would take about 5 minutes to complete, and on a RAMDisk drive it would complete in 38 seconds with 4GB or DDR2-800Mhz with 1.5GB RAMdisk space leaving 2.5GB free for the OS and applications to run, and while this is happening for 38 seconds the hard drive is just idle letting the RAM hammer it out with the CPU until complete. Then when complete, I write the final result back to HDD in less than 10 seconds.
http://memory.dataram.com/products-and-services/software/ramdisk (* Some day I hope to have a system with 32GB or more of RAM to then buy the version that allows for a larger RAMdisk and place games onto the RAM to run direct for maximum gaming performance for large games that have large game files that are constantly read in for the game to operate such as World of Warcraft.)

Bloodshed Dev C++ - ( FREE ) I have been using this a lot for quick C++ programs. So figured I'd share it. http://www.bloodshed.net/devcpp.html

MySQL - ( FREE ) - I use this with about 99.9% of all my databases unless a client requests them to be with other than MySQL. http://www.mysql.com/

ActivePerl Community Edition - ( FREE ) - Primary IDE for writing & executing local Perl scripts. http://www.activestate.com/activeperl

WAMP - ( FREE ) - For coding up a site and testing it all web server, database, and HTML etc on same system. Then later the site and code move on to a secure server vs a wide open non secure sandbox which is what this is. * Do not ever use this to run a real website hosted for others to access unless you want to be hacked very quickly! http://www.wampserver.com/en/

DoPDF7 - ( FREE ) Ability to print to PDF to not waste paper and save printed important stuff as PDF's. *The other day I went to install this on my wifes computer and they have version 8 out now. Version 8 wanted registration info while Version 7 did nit require this and ran clean without registration to function. I had version 7 on my external drive and removed version 8 and installed version 7 and she was then able to create PDF's as well without having to register to a spam server. If you plan on using this, you might want to try to find version 7 vs using the current version 8 if you are like me and dont want to be forced to register it to use it! http://www.dopdf.com/

MAP EDIT - ( Trial & Paid ) - I was introduced to this tool back in college about 12 years or so ago. It came bundled on a CD in the back of my HTML book. I had a lot of fun with this tool because it allowed me to make interactive HTML images with hyperlinks to X,Y areas of images, and so I was able to make an interface image in say MSPaint and then call this JPG image in the webpage, and with this software reference to the interface image within the HTML and select boxes etc for the area of the image that I wanted people to be able to click on HOME and get to HOME and click on ABOUT and get to the ABOUT page etc, but most importantly, it allowed me to make some HTML games that used nothing more than HTML. No Java Script, etc. And basically based on their clicks they followed a Hyperlink Tree so I was able to make games similar to Zork ( although with a GUI vs just text ) that were in HTML and you could click on arrows to move left right and forward and backwards. The game was basically trying to get from the beginning to the end and there were hints and wrong turns that would lead to your death, but played enough times you then knew what to do and what not to do and eventually beat the game. The one feature the college professor really liked was that a light switch when flipped on in the darkened the room you were in because it loaded up a different page with a JPG for that room, the room was now lit up and you then could see what there was in the room to interact with, in which there was a piece of paper on a desk and when clicked on it would load up this paper that was scanned with my scanner to look real, and then you could click to go back to the room and move on etc. I liked this tool so much that I bought a license of it. I still use it on occasion, but its been almost a years since I used it for making a FileMaker Pro 5.5 interface for accessing different databases through a HTML webpage by drawing up a interface with MSPaint and some other tools and then making a simple HTML page to load the interface center screen and then hyperlink the X,Y locations of the interface to what Database was to be opened. http://www.boutell.com/mapedit/

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lastly, I keep an external HDD with hundreds of open source as well as paid for program on, and from time to time I go back to this drive to add others that I find as well as install them as needed.

I want to know how can I include html code in my posts in this forum.For example computer_commando in all his posts include a danasoft.com html image

Plz help me soon...You can't include HTML code, you use the BBCode tags that are ACCESSIBLE through the BUTTONS in the top of the create post window to insert things such as images, LINKS and to do special formatting.

And going by your other thread, you are certainly not allowed to spam this forum by attempting to insert Javascript into your posts, no web developer in their RIGHT mind would allow this!
