  1. Awww crap....I LOVED Scottie. I grew up a big trekkie fan, I'm positive I've seen every episode they ever did, 64 I believe. James Doohan was a highly regarded actor and had won many awards for his stage work, and he will be sorely missed by all, even the non-trekkies. He was also a Canadian, as were a few of the cast. Kirk and Scottie I know but I can't remember who else...I know there was one other. No kidding eh handplane...even folks who know nothing about Star Trek, know that line. I just loved Scottie's classic..."Cappn...she ain't gonna hold much longer...she's breakin up". Seemed like

  3. Hey folks This one has me stumped so far, so I'm asking for any help from y'all to see if anyone here may have seen it before. I had been moving some files around, defragged my Virtual Machine OS's, going thru Event Viewer, checking processes and generally filling time for awhile. I was just bored so I started to play around, looking at system files and stuff. I was looking at some of the hidden files in the root of C:, opening them with notepad just to poke around and see what I could learn. Well after reading one file, I closed it and noticed a new file in the root of C: called t2cc and no f
  4. My employer, The City of Regina, has a very strict policy in place and enforce it ridgedly. NO personal surfing allowed, city business only and violators are subject to severe penalty up to, and including termination. Every single site visited by any city employee is logged and checked out, and if its not within the scope of that employees duties, their supervisor is notified and a verbal reprimand is issued for the first offence. Second offence is a written reprimand that goes on file, 3rd is up to 2 days pay lost, and 4th is termination. Termination may come sooner than the 4th offence depen

    Thats priceless...too bad a camcorder wasn't present that day, I'm sure it would be one of the most popular videos doing the email circuit ever.
  6. Well, I need more sleep than I actually get, and more of it at a time too. My problem tho is because of a peripheral neuropathy caused by diabetes that causes excrutiating pain in my feet and legs. The condition is worse at night and that is the same for most PN sufferers, so sleep is something we all lack. It's been better now with the narcotic pain killers added to the 5000mg's of neurontin that I take daily (yes..thats thousand, not a typo), but I still only sleep around 3 hrs at a time and usually a max of 5 or 6 hrs total. I take about 112mg's of Dilaudid a day (the narcotic) which keeps

HAPPY B-DAY SON!!
  10. An overweight business associate of mine decided it was time to shed some excess pounds. He took his new diet seriously, even changing his driving route to avoid his favorite bakery. One morning, however, he arrived at work carrying a gigantic coffeecake. We all scolded him, but his smile remained cherubic. "This is a very special coffeecake," he explained. "I accidentally drove by the bakery this morning and there in the window was a host of goodies. I felt this was no accident, so I prayed, 'Lord, if you want me to have one of those delicious coffeecakes, let me have a parking place directly
  11. ROTFLMSAO!! Hilariuous Marty...absolutely hilarious! BTW, for those that do not know what the S in the first line is...."silly" or "stupid"
  12. Oh....My.....God....!! Liz, the sad thing is that you're probably 100% correct with that assesment, thats a very powerful psychological problem she faces. I remember when my daughter was 13, she and her friends were absolutely FANATICAL about fat!! The thing was tho, that none of them were anywhere near being fat but they would pinch their skin and think it was fat and they were so ugly because of it. No matter how hard I explained that it was just the thickness of their skin and not fat at all, they just wouldn't let it go. They finally grew out of it, but obviously...some don't, or they grow
  13. I probably have at least 2000 that I haven't posted yet...I get around 15 - 20 a day from friends. Too bad many of them will never get posted here tho, just too darned dirty or non PC.
  14. Yahhh.....rigghhhht!! Nobody EVER reads the articles you liar!!
  15. Men Bashing: What's the difference between government bonds and men? Bonds Mature. Husband: Want a quickie? Wife: As opposed to what? How is a man like a snowstorm? Because you don't know when he's coming, how many inches you'll get, or how long it'll stay. Why are men like laxatives? They irritate the sh*t out of you. How can you tell when a man is dead? He stays stiff for more than two minutes. How is a man like a microwave oven? They both heat up instantly and go off in twenty seconds. How is an ex-husband like an inflamed appendix? It caused you a lot of pain, and after it was removed you
  16. An engineer dies and reports to hell. Pretty soon, the engineer gets dissatisfied with the level of comfort in hell, and starts designing and building improvements. After a while, they've got air conditioning and flush toilets and escalators, and the engineer is a pretty popular guy. One day God calls Satan up on the telephone and says with a sneer, "So, how's it going down there in hell?" Satan replies, "Hey things are going great. We've got air conditioning and flush toilets and escalators, and there's no telling what this engineer is going to come up with next." God replies, "What??? You've
  17. Three little boys were concerned because they couldn't get anyone to play with them. They decided it was because they had not been baptized and didn't go to Sunday School. So, they went to the nearest church. Only the janitor was there. One said, "We need to be baptized because no one will come out and play with us. Will you baptize us?" "Sure," said the janitor. He took them into the bathroom and dunked their heads in the toilet bowl, one at a time. Then he said, "Now go out and play." When they got outside, dripping wet, one of them asked, "What religion do you think we are?" The oldest one
  18. A bus carrying only ugly people crashes into an oncoming truck, and everyone inside dies. They then get to meet their maker, and because of the grief they have experienced; he decides to grant them one wish each, before they enter Paradise . They're all lined up, and God asks the first one what the wish is. I want to be gorgeous and so God snaps His fingers, and it is done. The second one in line hears this and says I want to be gorgeous too. Another snap of His fingers and the wish is granted. This goes on for a while but when God is halfway down the lin
  19. A young gay man called home and told his Jewish mother that he has decided to go back into the closet because he had met a wonderful girl, and they are going to get married. He told his mother that he is sure she will be happier, since he knew that his gay lifestyle had been very disturbing to her. She replied that she was indeed delighted, and asked tentatively, "I suppose it would be too much to hope that she would be Jewish?" He told her that not only is the girl Jewish, but from a wealthy Beverly Hills family. She admitted she is overwhelmed by the news, and asked, "What is her name?" He a

    New Tutorial

    Hey folks I know that a few of us have had an issue with CD AutoRun not working in the past, and surely others will have this issue in the future. I just had it myself, and remembering how many times we saw this at TTV and never really had a good fix for it, I put an article in the Knowledge Base with the fixes I found and tested. Pop on over and have a look so that if this ever happens to you, you'll remember seeing it, and if somone you know has this problem you can send them over for the fix. Have a Good Day!!
  24. Hi Everyone! This is an issue that has affected many folks in the past, and we never really had a good handle on it for a fix. I just recently had this problem popup and I remembered how many times I saw this come up on TTV boards and a few times at G4, so after I found and researched the fixes for it on my VM's, I decided to post it here for others to benefit from. There are a few things here that may be causing this, depending on what disabled it in the first place. Some CD burning programs disable AutoRun, one version of Nero did this but did not have an "Enable" button to re-enable it once
