  1. hi team how do i locate the host file so i can change the code from

    127.0.0.1

    to

    127.0.0.0.

    when i was at c.f.h

    we got a fix for the tivo ad that used to interfere with the message board.posts.

    i had win 98 then. and that was the code we used.

    but in winxp it may have changed.

    now i have xppro.and ive tried to find a link to it. i posted on a coupla boards but the response i got was to install a third party utility.

    but it can be done with out the utility

    does any one realise that is how browsers

    block the ads by changing the host file code.

    i have a site in my favs.

    but i cant remember how to do it

    the command sends the host file to note pad and you chang it from there

    any ideas

  2. yo team have a bit of fun with your name

    ive scanned for virus .

    but if you feel as tho you want to scan.do so

    marty

    here

    i must stress if you go to any other site in this domain.

    you do so at your own risk.

    i havent tested it out yet .

    ive only scanned the peep hole section.

    as well i spelled dionne warwicks name wrong

    sorry bout that.

  3. i must mention irregularjoes post

    yes you are right

    now we have 9-11 12 countrys with neuclear weapons

    global warming .poison gas.oaklohoma bombing

    if any one lives in the usa they are on constant alert.

    and tho a agree it is local politics.terrorism.

    murders. rape.

    my friend this globe hasent long to live because of modenisation.

    but when we go. you will be with us.

    just that. i would like my grand children to grow up in a better world.

    i just watched a discovery program 5-6 nights ago

    and in the usa alone

    36.000 people who take their own lives every year .

    you mentioned rascism.

    it hasent changed.

    come here in the south pacific

    to australia and nz and see how blatent it is

    it still exist in the usa.

    but no matter what you do. you cant change human nature, .

    and humans attrocetys to each other.

    sure it happend then but only to a few not to millions.

    like it is today..

    humans have become to greedy.

    and greed breeds power.

    i remember when i was young the saying was

    why is a country like china a paciifist society .

    and it seems they eliminated any one who showed leader ship qualitys

    and the people lead them selves

    in other words get rid of the s-----t stirrers

    and they ran thier country for centurys like that.

    i disagree with you that the modern world is a better place.

    may be it is for the greedy. but what about the other 95 percent of us.

    you only have to lo0ok around the world. 14 countrys

    in conflict.

    including the most heavily armed of them

    does that not seem scary to you.

  4. Marty,

  5. hi handplane

    yes i went through all that.

    when i mention it to my grand children.

    they say to me granddad.

    you are living in the past .

    and god i wished i could do that at times .

    do you know our front door was never locked for 43 years.

    when we shifted we had to cut the key out with a hack saw .

    any one want to try that today.

    no way now doors have iron bars welded across them

    yes handplane

    times have changed. i like living on nostalga.

    Pet" Peeves That Dogs Have Against Humans

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Pet Peeves that Dogs have against humans!!

    10. Blaming your farts on me... not funny... not funny at all!!!

    9. Yelling at me for barking.. I'M A FRIGGIN' DOG, YOU IDIOT!

    8. Taking me for a walk, then not letting me check stuff out. Exactly whose

    walk is this anyway?

    7. Any trick that involves balancing food on my nose... stop it!

    6. Any haircut that involves bows or ribbons. Now you know why we chew your

    stuff up when you're not home.

    5. The sleight of hand, fake fetch throw. You fooled a dog! Whoooo --

    Hoooooooo what a proud moment for the top of the food chain.

    4. Taking me to the vet for "the big snip", then acting surprised when I

    freak out every time we go back!

    3. Getting upset when I sniff the crotches of your guests. Sorry, but I

    haven't quite mastered that handshake thing yet.

    2. Dog sweaters. Hello ???, Haven't you noticed the fur?

    1. How you act disgusted when I lick myself. Look, we both know the truth,

    you're just jealous.

    Now lay off me on some of these thing's, We both know who's boss here !!!

    You don't see me picking up your poop do you ???

  11. hi i belong to 3 boards so i spend a lot of time .

    reading mostly and posting when i can.

    most of my time is spent at besttecie

    tho the last few days ive posted at g4 more than usual.

    not having been a compt person before these boards.

    i had a lot of adjusting to do.

    i once had a reputation for being straight to the point

    and when i joined techtv c.f.h

    i was brought down to earth because of my

    tendecy to try and tell it as it is .

    but i hope i dont do that any more .tho im tempted

    and the way is to suck up.instead

    i find that hard to do

    but i now have more freinds on the boards

    than i used to

    thats why i spend so much time here.

    hi blim

    you can stop those popups by changing your cookie handling.

    to prompt and block.

    mine has been set for 3-4 years and i dont get the popups if i do i just refuse to place a cookie on my sys.

    which is where thos popups.spyware .virus come from

    cookies

    marty

  16. yes i agree with you.

    im one of ones affected .

    im a poor user of the k-board

    i know what i want to say but when it comes out the other end

    i have to go back and edit the post.

    i had never used a k-board until i got this compt.

    which makes me all fingers.

    and sometimes i get the letters in the wrong place e.c.t

    but im not a user of google i havent ever used it.

    im not interested in a search appli that spys on you.

    msn search is good enough for me .

    and in 4 years ive had it ive used nothing els but msn search.

    or i only post answer i know.

    that have related to my compt and my OS

  18. hi team i have to ad a bit of info.

    to that instramental. dueling banjos.

    the number had been around for some time, but wasnt getting air play.

    it was played by a group called, the martin and the coys .of

    which i still have the 45.

    but glen cambell was puting a tv show together and was looking for material for instrimentals .

    and heard the number being played in a coffe bar in tennesee .

    as he was a banjo and a guitar player .

    he included it in the show and it became a hit over night

    it netted millions from the mountain music loving public of the usa

    so many duos included it in their repituarre.

    so the number has a history

    and it was one of the reasons i posted it

    so the moral of the story is if you want your song to be famous

    ring glen cambell.

    .tho he has gone down in my esteem. but thats another story
