Cirrently up to version 7 update 13

Any chance java was blocked , disabled, or uninstalled when they had the big scare that it was insecure? I know folks who experienced similar in firefox when something there blocked java or when they uninstalled it entirely. Go to the test java page and see if it is installed and working http://www.java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp Install the latest version if it is not already installed.

Right you are, it has been a long time, too long. As Old Ben Kenobi said "Now that is a name I have not heard in a long time." To many of the old timers have passed on. G4 has been sold to Esquire Magazine, and while the forums are still up they are probably not going to be for much longer. Besttechie is slow these days, G4 is too. Life goes on and times change as technology continues to evolve. Nice hearing from you, good to know you are still with us.

Happy new year y'all. Going to have to remake my gateway home page. I was just checking through forums I hadn't visited in a bit and am disappointed in how many TV shows, channels, and networks have abandoned forums and now rely exclusively on social media such as facebook and twitter (at least some are adding google +) for interaction with fans and the audience. Not that they ever actually interacted, but they at least provided a forum for fans to interact.

Ditto that old friend. Hopefully you are still occasionally lurking through here.

Yikes do you work standing up all day? Not even bar stools?

Got an email from a friend of his that he had spoken to him by phone and marsh is fine.

Yeah, his friend kent said he could not get a reply and was worried after what happened last time (when he was discovered unconscious by the UPS delivery guy) about him living alone out in the woods.

I know he left G4, and I see he hasn't posted here since march. Got a PM from a friend of his saying they are concerned that they cannot contact him.

Given that Esquire has registered such domains as EsquireTV.com and EsquireChannel.com it is likely that the existing G4TV.com will cease to exist. It is highly unlikely that they will keep the domain up or pay for the servers to keep running. It iis not like the merger with TechTV where they are preserving some of what was there and trying to keep the viewers; they are buying the channel space and bringing in a "fresh new concept" They notified the staff that the remaining G4TV shows (AOTS, XPLAY...) are canceled and they are terminated at the end of the year. Some (Kevin P, Brian Sessler)

On the G4 forums they said today that G4 is being sold to Esquire. The network will probably be rebranded. AOTS and XPlay already canceled at the end of the month. Probably the forums will go too. It has been a long run.

My problem here is that there is no reason to believe that you can do this in such a manner as to achieve FTL movement. Consider, that basically you are doing what a gravity wave does naturally, and it is constrained to move at the speed of light. My guess would be that any such wave (and that is basically what they are creating) can travel through space faster than C. Yes, you would get the jump to light speed; but you would not have the benefit of lorentz time contraction, nor would you be traveling faster than light. Now I do see another possibility. There is no constraint as to how fast sp

Never heard of an Orange Chess PIe or Blood Orange Pie? http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/orange-chess-pie-10000000523927/ http://baking.about.com/od/bakedpies/r/bloodorangechesspie.htm Or an orange soufflee? http://www.zencancook.com/2010/12/orange-souffle-with-grand-marnier/ Then there is orange beef stir fries; the variety available astounds. ( I like orange beef and broccoli with garlic, ginger, and dry chipotle chilis ) Fiery goodness.

Does the floppy drive access light stay on? If so then probably the positive an negative to the USB port are reversed. If that does not solve it, just get a cheap regular floppy and install it.

Yeah, the girls are eight onow. My Jindo is 16. My labs died last year but I got a new Alaskan husky. Big girl, 125 Lbs and a 40 inch chest. Loves to run, made me run a half marathon before she let me catch her when she got loose one day. Got a little rottweiler sharpei too.

I think that part of it is that Windows and PCs are finally becoming reliable. There are far fewer mainstream requests for technical help and support with the new computers and operating systems than there were in the days of win95 and 98 (and even XP). Secondly computers are now mainstream, with smart phones being endemic. People finally get it that most of the time, restarting solves the problem. They know how to google to see if others have had the same problem and what they did for it. Spyware , adware, and even malware are becomming less of a problem as more and more antivirus programs

I think something needs to be done about super pacs. They should be classified as corporations not non profit organizations. Their income should be taxed and there should be a fee on each advertisement they sponsor which goes to support voter registration, additonal polling locations, new voting machines, etc. Maybe they could include that into the tax reform bill and make it retro active so that Rove, the Koch Brothers, and Trump owe a couple hundred million each in back taxes.

First real cold front of the season coming tonight and tomorrow. So preparing by making a good hearty soup today. Meatball and tortellini soup. Ground beef and pork Spices, herbs, egg, cracker meal, unflavored gelatin... Take a small sample and microwave it to test seasoning and flavor and adjust. Brown the meatballs in ceramic non stick skillet and then into the oven to finish cooking. Dump the finished meatballs into beef stock with diced onions, diced garlic, dice mushrooms, chopped tomatoes , herbs (cilantro, parsley) unflovored gelatin etc. Taste and adjust Cook some dry spinach and ch

Darn I thought this would be a thread about a new Avatar movie. Wonder how that is going and if the new Star Wars movie from Disney will beat it out.

I still stop in once in a while. I thought everyone else had moved on as I nver saw any new posts. Still here though.

Sounds like a bummer. Yeah this year has been tough (Still shopping for a good deal on a new roof after the June hailstorem. It was like being in an artillery barrage for a half hour. My truck looked like someone had thrown baseballs at it for a half hour then taken the bat at it to finish the job. I had several large holes punched clear through the roofing and the shingles are all basically worn out now.. The wifes stepfather died in a tractor roll over accident on the farm.......) Life goes on (hopefully) and hopefully next year will be better than this one. Caught Turkey breast on for 99 c

Yeah, I was so excited to find it that it took a while to realize it was a dead forum. Too bad. I would have enjoyed it. I just finished making a pot of gumbo. One leek (leftover from making potato leek soup) diced and cleaned. Equal amount diced celery ( about four stalks I think) Two medium bell peppers One head of garlic peeled and chopped. Half pound andouille (smoked sausage) diced Saute with a little oil Add 24 oz frozen sliced okra one 28 ounce can crushed tomatoes 24 ounces shrimp three bay leaves Thyme worcestershire sauce two dry chipotle , shoulders and seeds removed chopped in wi

Stumbled upon this lonely forum http://apps.exploratorium.edu/cgi-bin/yabb2-cooking/YaBB.pl Looks to be much along the idea of a "geeks in the kitchen" idea someone her had some time ago. Unfortunately the register button does not work. If I figure out how to join I think I will, but I suspect that explains the lack of recent posts. Board is not maintained and has died. Ah it is a paid membership thing. Too bad.

Is that from Curiosity Rover?

Don't make it here all that often, and it doesn't look like many others do either. But Happy B-day Hitest.
