  1. Hey guys,

    I'm looking for a good poker download (BIG 2 and Texas Hold Em) All I can find is links to play online for money and games that I suspect have spyware.

    If you have some favourites list them :P

  2. To be fair regarding Teflon, you have to overheat it drastically for those fumes to form (but then, who hasn't left a pan on too long?). My problem with Teflon and its ilk is I don't care how "strong" they say it is, it chips and flakes and wears. Is that pepper or Teflon particles? Sometimes I wonder. Since there's no nutrition to be had it passes right through you ... but do you really want it inside you in the first place? (Maybe it counts as fiber?)

    On the other hand, when it's in good shape it cleans up like a charm, and you only need a little (or no) oil.

    When non-stick was fairly new I was at a friend's house, chatting in the kitchen while his wife prepared dinner. The sound of the electric mixer drew our attention and there she was, beating the mashed potatos in her new Teflon pan. Hence my previous "pepper" remark. :wacko:

    I agree, Teflon is great but you really have to be careful with it. When I cook something in a nonstick pan I have to add some olive-oil otherwise it doesn't taste the same and takes longer without oil.

    When making something like eggs I never use the nonstick pans don't trust them no matter how new they are. The steel ones are amazing you can get it as hot as you want without having to worry...The only thing to worry about is the clean up :P

    About the smells outside... I love walking in the mornings and smelling the air in the spring, I just makes me very happy for some reason. Also just after it's stopped raining and when there is fog... It's just something about natures odor that make people relaxed.

  3. If you convert that into CDN its only $6.15. 7.75 converted into USD is $8.91.

    Which is still inadequate, not enough to help feed someone on proper food let along pay for rent...Even if its full time work.

  4. I have formated the comp about 3 times now, with the other HDD that came with the comp it was giving me the blue screen each time I wanted to format and install XP so I added the other HDD a spare 1 and works but freezes and blue screen still which is now. I got the comp off a friend who said he couldnt install XP on it, thats why I got the other HDD. What should I do??????

  5. I only work 40 hours in 2 weeks so that’s why its low, plus I'm working for minium wage $7.75/h (yep they raised the damn thing from $7.45) took em long enough.

    Good to see some people agree with me, others just say well... ya but what ya gonna do.

    That’s why we have mayors, premiers and MP's. I'm actually going to complain about this damn thing like other people my age should do.

  6. We had 15 C (59 F) and with the sun hitting you it felt like 20 C (68 F) I remember about 2 years back in August when the light were out for 35 hours. And now the government is increasing the price of electricity AGAIN. The electricity and Gas have gone up each year, that on top of paying for increasing fuel and taxes on EVERYTHING and income tax. And what do we get from all the taxes? Free health care I have only been to the hospital once in 3 years and that was for a check up. I don’t need it. And also the new prime minister is cutting taxes by get this 1% OMG great. To all People outside Canada, DON’T COME HERE. Go some place like Poland or Sweden taxes are lower much lower. I'm only 19 but have to see my parents and friends parents pay through their teeth. I work and have to pay $15 on each paycheck for "Insurance" WTH do I need that for if I get hurt helping some old guy with something, the company wont pay me 1 cent. All this place is a rip off. I get taxed on things I don’t need or don’t even want. The government should pay more attention to poor and immigrant people then to tax middle class people and give the corporate class more money. Our government shrugs any comments that it’s a corrupt system but it is. Not corrupt as say the Bush administration but corrupt for hard working people. People make $600 a month and their rent is $700 How does that work? What kind of F'd up world are we in to just care about money, when poor innocent people are dying and the rich get richer. Galileo said that democracy will only work if the richest of the rich is only 4 times more then the poorest of the poor. In today world its more like the rich are billions of times richer then the poor. Democracy is a lie and anyone who believes in it is one stupid piece of (u know what).

    Sry I went off subject, I just got off work and fell a little stressed

  7. I bought a Pentax MX4 and it is amazing, it works with SD/MMC cards up to 1 GB, never tried 2 GB. it comes with a rechargeable battery and its both a digital camera and movie camera. Max resolution for video is 640x480 with optical zoom of 10x and the Max pics of 4 megapixals with a built in red eye reducers. If anyone is looking for a great digital camera which has movie capabilities get the MX4. Unlike other cameras with the same specs this one wont hurt you bank book it cost me $240 CDN with a $40 rebate it was only $200. In USD that only $208 and if you find the store offers a $40 rebate you only pay $169. Plus Tax.

    I recommend this camera because you can also add a nice wide angle lens to it and have fun and for the price you get a rock solid camera which works very well.

    Heres a nice pic

  8. I recently reinstalled XP and updated it to SP2 and all the new updates, and for some strange reason it keeps freezing after 20 mins -1 hour its very annoying. I have tried to increase the commit charge memory, cause I only have 256 memory. Only using 2 or 3 apps when it happens. And if I try to fix it it gives me the blue screen and always a different message about whats wrong. ati.sys etc...

    Please help, Before I was getting the blue screen while I was trying to format the HDD and had to get a spare one and now this is happening the freezing.
