  1. I don't know how they think this stuff up!!

    Here is a math trick so unbelievable that it will stump

    you. Personally I would like to know who came up with this and why

    that person is not running the country. 

    1. Grab a calculator. (you won't be able to do this one in your

    head)

    2. Key in the first three digits of your phone number (NOT YOUR

    AREA CODE)

    3. Multiply by 80

    4. Add 1

    5. Multiply by 250

    6. Add the last 4 digits of your phone number.

    7. Add the last 4 digits of your phone number again.

    8. Subtract 250

    9. Divide number by 2.

    Do you recognize the answer?

    Pass this on and share the amazement...

    awesome... passing this on through email

  2. Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone knows of a good program to record internet radio broadcasts.  There are some shows that I like listening to, but I dont get to listen to it when it is first played.  I have to wait a few weeks before they are made into podcasts.  I was hoping to record them and listen to them much earlier then 3 or 4 weeks out.  Any suggestions?

    Thanks,

    bj

    I use the Creative Soundblaster recorder that came with the soundcard. Select the audio type/source and record.

  3. Well it's not my computer, it is my friends (I just helped him out). 

    AMD Sempron 3000+ (Socket 754) CPU

    Chaintech VNF3-250 nForce3 250 Motherboard

    PQI Power Series 512MB Ram x2 = 1GB

    Rosewill CD-RW Optical Drive

    Western Digitel 80GB Hard Drive

    XFX NVidia 6800 Video Card

    Rosewill Value Black Steel case w/350 PSU

    Think it will be any good? Remember, he was on a TIGHT budget. ($500)

    I'll trade you :D ...okay, you don't have to <_<

    Looks good :thumbsup:

  4. Since last week I have been having some rather annoying difficulties with my system: I am using a windows ME system by the way. when I right click a file and then go to open with it usually shows some of the recent programs I used on it but the entire open with option is gone and I have no idea how to get it back or how it left. On top of that I have found that my internet connection constantly logs me off and on and slows my connection speed to a snail's pace. I have tried fully updated ad-aware searches and a fully updated norton's anti-virus scan and have come up with nothing, I used hijack this and came up with a clean log. I also tried something called a squared and came up with nothing as well. My sister who also uses the computer enjoys installing, uninstalling and then re-installing games onto the computer all within 72 hours and I was wondering if that could have an effect on what is going on with the computer as well.

    I saw this poseted online:

    DarkStormFeb 1 2003, 02:12 AM

    I have WinME and Last week I lost the "Open With" right click option. How do I get it back. It used to be available with every file allowing me to open a registered file with an alternate program but now I cant, It doesn't even come up with un-registered files anymore.

    Thank you in advance.

    Hold down the shift key and rt click does that work???

    ............i did not see a reply to the solution, but maybe give it a try?

  5. Good morning *yawn*

    Stayed up way too late last night.  No, it wasn't the rum at Whiskeyman's Pub :pirate: That was my excuse for the night before :pirate:  At least the pool got baptized, or I did, oh crap, now I'm getting confused.

    It was windy and while the dog isn't afraid of thunderstorms, she is afraid of wind, so I had to stay downstairs with her sitting on my feet.  Makes me almost wish she slept upstairs on the bed, but then again thinking of her doghair running amok with the dustbunnies..... (people with upstairs bedrooms can be lazy housekeepers :) )

    No smoking in the house for me--and wow, what a difference it makes.  Aside from the dog slobber and kids handprints, the windows stay so much cleaner!!!

    Iceflyer, isn't it ridiculous that those fun games were banned from schools?  I was constantly getting pummelled (probably due to my "nah, nah's" and smartaleck remarks) I loved those games.  It was the Soccermoms not allowing to have anything bad happen to their little darlings..... :angry:   My son plays soccer, but I am NOT a Soccermom, and I know plenty of Soccermoms whose little darlings have never touched a soccer ball.  It's all in the attitude.

    Ooooh, I'm getting inspired.  Where's the rant page????

    Simple answer:

    Let the kids play, and the parents watch. :thumbsup:

    extra edit answer: and sports is good, you're supposed to get a bruise heh :wacko:B)

  6. OK, I wrote a perfectly good boring post and it dissapeared!!  Floating around collecting dust bunnies with the other post I lost, I suppose.

    Last night I was doing just dandy, walked in the front door, noticed some activity in back, discovered Whiskeyman's Pub, then discovered the second page of :pirate: smilies :pirate: (it's Mikex and TG's fault, they instigated it, arrgghhh :pirate:!!!)  and fell in the pool.  Someone tripped me, I'm sure!!!  When did all this remodeling happen???  I thought the cafe was just getting bigger.  It's going to have to be called a resort pretty soon.

    Son is watching Dodgeball (the sport, not the movie, it's actually on television!) and one of the sportscasters was talking about a player, saying,

    "he's one of the smartest players in the league, he actually went to high school".

    What amazes me is that Dodgeball is actually on television!!  I loved that game in school.  I was little, fast and wiry and had a "wee bit o' a mouth" on me  :)  Had no arm, though.

    <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

    I think towards my last years in high school they were talking about banning dodge ball .... :wacko: throwing a ball at your best buds was the best! heh, and not so best buds too ... :matrix: Dodgeball, Kickball ..ah the best ... used to play some game called "Kick" where there'd be two side, like faced off against one another like a Civil War battle line, and there'd be about a dozen or so balls and you could wither kick it out from your hands, or put it on the groud, run at it, and kick it off ...of course there'd be speedy people who would run to the other side and try and kick the ball away before you could kick it yourself, and others who would throw a ball at the other side to knock the other ball from being kicked ...others like me, hah, would sneak across, hide amongst the enemy team, and block the players kick, or swipe a ball and steal it and run back to the other side. ...ah..those were the days ..I'm glad I can remember it still lol! :P

  9. I need some advice for real-life issues, I go to a school where there are lots of fights and that type of thing. some people think that I am gay  :angry2:

    but I am NOT gay. This makes me angry, for some reason there are roumers going around school. I need to know what to do to stop these roumers.

    I have tryed my parents they just said ignore it. I thought that I would talk to yall scince that I get help for other things here to.

    please help  :(

    <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

    Here's the simple IceFLYER answer that may rhyme. But really here goes, on the spot...

    Just be you

    Try not for cool

    For cool is already in you

    In your heart

    In that warm beating place...

    Not the shades on your face

    Not the fabrics

    Be it leather or lace...

    Just ignore the bullies

    who's mentality

    Is certainly "pre-schooly" ...

    But if you find that push comes to shove

    The other IceFLYER solution

    Is to find a pretty girl

    A high school sweetheart love!

    The mean guys'll be him?! her?! what?! why?!

    And the girls'll think those looks

    Are pretty cute!

    But we'll call it "cool"

    Not the other

    which'll make ya puke...

    So to overview

    One: Be You

    Two: Ignore punks, drunks, and if possible the fistitcuffs

    Three: Charm the girls, for plenty of puckerups!!!

    :thumbsup:

    -IceFLYER

    ...yaaa....

  10. Hey again all!!! I'll just call ya'll "all". :thumbsup:

    Heh, but, I'm guessing, you all being tech savvy, that perhaps you can help me out with a few tips? :rolleyes:

    I'm trying to get a big keyword list. Nothing computer related, but related to computers in that the keywords, terms, etc. are all regarding careers in computers. I'm looking for examples of job titles, and descriptions of such titles...like ...a computer career dictionary of sorts???

    Anybody know of any such webpages? Or got a dictionary on mind?

    Okay, I'm in your debt... Thanks all! and I'll keep up my searching too :thumbsup:

    (heh, not really, but sounds funny...)

  11. Oh, Iceflyer!  You are a good poet!!  Absolutely loved it. Hope to hear more!

    *sings, "spam, spam, spam, spam

                spam, spam, spam, spam"

                Ok, all I remember is the chorus....and now that tune is stuck in my head.

    For the Love of Spam!

    Spam...

    It's been given the can!

    Spam...

    Ain't gettin' no love from The Man!

    Cut like a ham!

    Roasted like a turkey!

    Fried like a chicken!

    Hey!

    ...spam can be finger lickin...

    Alas...the original post

    has been dropped...

    the one Tech tv user petecovell

    ..the computer solving guru...

    (and his OL)

    love most!

    AlmostArtafact I'm sure expresses

    his sorrow.

    Please, wear your spam boxers proud

    ...later...way later...tomorrow...

    Even lanimass

    who pointed out the oddity of such a post

    chipped in and taught us something new.

    Who knew

    about the Pacific’s love of the canned good?

    I can tell you,

    "few"

    TommyBaseball

    threw in some educational words too

    and sung a song,

    an ode to you...

    ...spam...

    by Terry Jones, Michael Palin

    and Fred Tomlinson...

    The skit from Monty Python.

    (which was found,

    with the super search skills of tech,

    by jdlech)

    ...a follow up chorus,

    was sung by a fellow spam hero! jla930

    And then there's TheTerrorist_75

    Despite the love of the mystery meat

    I'm sure he's not a bad guy, or girl?

    But that's okay with me, I really don't care

    for you did provide several good recipes!

    ..even if off by a few "3000" degrees...

    On to our buddy

    straightedge2003

    What would we have done?

    without another spam song sung!

    From Save Ferris.

    And who left us with a debate...

    Which is better for researching spam flavors:

    Pentium, or AMD?

    And if you recall mirage959

    left us to grapple

    with what the heck was scrapple!?

    And there's miketwo

    who loves spam burgers too

    And JDoors with more

    recipes for the munchies,

    ...just add macaroni and cheese...

    Now, granted...we've had our protests

    like DodgeMe_2003…

    of course he got sick...

    must have been something...

    watch what you eat...

    And of course we should,

    as idatwice2 filled us in

    with the health clues about cholesterol

    and fat.

    But it ended on a good note.

    It ended with someone

    who provide a lot! Probably the most.

    It was rv_56 and the many links

    to places where we could explore

    or favorite blue canned mystery good eats.

    And within the time it takes to wink,

    The post had died...

    The threads undone...

    Techtv took away our fun...

    But, thanks to them it's back again!

    So everybody post!

    And Eat Your Spam!

  14. ?whats the best antivirus?

    <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

    I've had problem with Norton in the past, or, at least uninstalling Norton. Something about an XL.exe... Mcafee is nice but once it expires it'll keep giving you the update reminder and I can't seem delete the Windows Task it creates to keep reminding me to update it. Can't say what's best but thought I'd just add some odd occurances with the two I know. Mcafee interface has a lot of windows to navigate, but a lot of options to play with.

  15. Long time no see my friend. Sure have missed you!!!

    We'll be glad to have you and your poems at the cafe. Lots of musicians around to even set them to music maybe.

    How has life been treating you, other than the recent G4 blues bug? That was a mighty fast spreading virus and a nasty one at that. So for everyone that has been hit by it, this is a good place to recuperate.

    Lots of caring folks here.

    Just don't go MIA on them or they send out search parties!  :rolleyes:  :wub:  :rolleyes:

    Enjoy the best boards around.  :thumbsup:

    Pat.

    God bless everyone.

    Hey hey Sidekick! It has been a long time! Well ,I'll still be skiing down some hill or on one of those tabogans (spell check big time) if that's still the image you have (if I recall correct) but I'll try and write a note, like, "Away" or something ^_^ ..good to see familiar faces and the welcomes :thumbsup: (extra thumbs up) ..so where's this Cyber Cafe again? :rolleyes:
