  1. We may be small, but that just means were more tightly knit.
  2. I used to get the same thing, though I have reformatted since. It happened a lot on games, and myspace, not quite sure what it is.
  3. I had the same problem with mine, it stopped playing newer games and just kept freezing. I think its the DVD drive because often times I would get a "disc scratched" on brand new games.
  4. Well said, Steamhead. I think they've been saying it depends on the age of the child, their level of maturity, and the level of trust earned by the child. Certainly a twelve-year-old who's been known to deceive their parents in the past needs someone to watch what they're doing on the Internet, while a fifteen-year-old who's comfortable with the Internet and shows a respect for the potential dangers and has shown no reason to be mistrusted can be given much more leeway. Now, which are you? Hehe I just so happen to be the latter, but I understand what you're getting at and it does m
  5. Well, as a teenager I have to disagree with you. I don't think parents should 'push' their way into their kids personal lives, I don't have anything to hide but I don't share my stuff with my parents. If they open up to you thats fine, but I wouldn't push it on them, it makes them angry, and distant. It also makes them feel like you don't trust them, which is a big deal especially with teens. Also when you do stuff like that it makes them want to hide other things more, for fear of your 'invasion'.
  6. what blim said is true, and there are also extra extra privacy settings in your options.
  7. In order for someone to become your "friend" you must either add them from their profile which they have to approve or the same way with them going to your profile. Myspace is relatively safe as long as your kid has some common sense. Although it is very possible for her to have "strangers" as "friends" on her myspace, most kids know the dangers and wouldn't do that. There have been cases in the past where "myspace whoring" was very popular. Myspace whoring is where you send out a bulletin to all of your friends to add seemingly random people in order to increase your (and their) friend count.
  8. Hahaha sounds like a sweet church/pastor. Maybe you could slip a few games into that lab.
  9. Ouch, I never thought of that shanenin. I guess I will go pre-built. Now on pre-builts does the brand matter at all or is it just what's inside? I have heard Dell is the best brand and i currently have a dell so it makes me want to stay loyal to them but this HP seems like an amazing deal, though I have heard that HP is a crappy brand, any thoughts?
  10. Those sound like some good ideas blim!
  11. Well I am no photographer, but I did take a photography class last year, and learned a bit from it. I especially like this pic. I didn't look at all 90+ pages of your work but you have some very interesting shots, keep it up! [btw is 'Duco Nihilum' Latin?]
  12. I haven't really figured out what I want to do with my old computer yet. I could scrap it for parts, but the only things I would save would be the HD, CD drive, and maybe the graphics card (GeForce FX 5200 i think thats kind of an older low end card though, no?) I do have a monitor, and speakers, my speakers are on the verge of dying though, but I can use my headset. The keyboard/mouse are old but still work so I'm pretty whatever about that. The only problem with building a computer is finding the time between school and work, and since I have never done a build before I would have absolutely
  13. I saw one the other day and the specs are as follows: Now this computer, without a monitor/keyboard/speakers was around $750-$800. I thought this was a good deal, is it?
  14. Well I've got around $1000 to spend and I wanna know whether I should build a computer or just order a nice one from Dell? I would mainly be using this comp for gaming, though I do other stuff too. I wouldn't know where to begin if I were to build it so any help on that would be appreciated too.
  15. Wow that is SO cool! Its even cooler since I love TSO.
  16. Wow, I never would have thought of that, what a great idea.
  17. Hahaha loving the nintendo touch, definately my style!
  18. I agree with shanenin, the current layout is functioning nicely. +1
  19. Well I saw a thread on how to get snow to fall on the forum and it seems like a pretty neat idea: The Thread The example The Code: <script type="text/javascript"> // Set the number of snowflakes (more than 30 - 40 not recommended) var snowmax=35 // Set the colors for the snow. Add as many colors as you like var snowcolor=new Array("#AAAACC","#DDDDFF","#CCCCDD","#F3F3F3","#F0FFFF") // Thiết kế mặt chữ (font) var snowtype=new Array("Arial Black","Arial Narrow","Times","Comic Sans MS") // Thiết kế kiểu bông tuyết (ví dụ: * ) var snowletter="*" // Thiết kế tốc độ rơi của tuyết (reco
  20. 1. Two antennas met on a roof, fell in love and got married. The ceremony wasn't much, but the reception was excellent. 2. A jumper cable walks into a bar. The bartender says, "I'll serve you, but don't start anything." 3. Two peanuts walk into a bar, and one was a salted. 4. A dyslexic man walks into a bra. 5. A man walks into a bar with a slab of asphalt under his arm and says: "A beer please, and one for the road." 6. Two cannibals are eating a clown. One says to the other: "Does this taste funny to you?" 7. "Doc, I can't stop singing 'The Green, Green Grass of Home.'" "That sounds like Tom
