  1. you must make sure on which ever one you use that you defrag the hard drive first.

    <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

    Why?

    <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

    from what i understood from reading the instructions that was in the mandrake distro, it mentioned thatz defraging would make the repartitioning go a little easier.

    that is why i stated that.

    besides, if you are going to repartition without reinstalling windows, wouldn't sound like a good idea anyway?

    because if you don't info could become damaged when trying to resize the partitions with out reinstallling windows.

  2. Once upon a time there lived a king. The king had a beautiful daughter, the PRINCESS. But there was a problem. Everything the princess touched would melt. No matter what; metal, wood, stone, anything she touched would melt. Because of this, men were afraid of her. Nobody would dare marry her. The king despaired. What could he do to help his daughter?

    He consulted his wizards and magicians. One wizard told the king, "If your daughter touches one thing that does not melt in her hands, she will be cured."

    The king was overjoyed and came up with a plan. The next day, he held a competition. Any man that could bring his daughter an object that would not melt would marry her and inherit the king's wealth.

    THREE YOUNG PRINCES TOOK UP THE CHALLENGE.

    The first brought a sword of the finest steel.

    <<...OLE_Obj...>>

    But alas, when the princess touched it, it melted. The prince went away sadly.

    <<...OLE_Obj...>>

    The second prince brought diamonds. He thought diamonds are the hardest substance in the world and would not melt.

    <<...OLE_Obj...>>

    But alas, once the princess touched them, they melted. He too was sent away disappointed.

    <<...OLE_Obj...>>

    The third prince approached. He told the princess, "Put your hand in my pocket and feel what is in there."

    The princess did as she was told, though she turned red. She felt something hard. She held it in her hand. And it did not melt!!! The king was overjoyed. Everybody in the kingdom was overjoyed.

    <<...OLE_Obj...>>

    And the third prince married the princess and they both lived happily ever after.

    Question: What was in the prince's pants? (Scroll down for the answer)

    <<...OLE_Obj...>>

    M&M's of course. They melt in your mouth, not in your hand.

    What were you thinking, you perverts?

  3. :P hope i don't get in trouble for this one. B)

    A couple had only been married for two weeks. The husband, although very

    much in love, couldn't wait to go out on the town and party with his old

    buddies. So, he said to his new wife, "Honey, I'll be right back."

    "Where are you going, Coochy Coo?" asked the wife.

    "I'm going to the bar, Pretty Face. I'm going to have a beer."

    The wife said, "You want a beer, my love?" She opened the door to the

    refrigerator and showed him 25 different kinds of beer, brands from 12

    different countries: Germany, Holland, Japan, India, etc.

    The husband didn't know what to do, and the only thing that he could think

    of saying was, "Yes, Lollipop...but at the bar...you know...they have frozen

    glasses... "

    He didn't get to finish the sentence, because the wife interrupted him by

    saying, "You want a frozen glass?" and she opened the freezer door and took

    out a glass so frozen that she was getting chills just holding it.

    The husband, looking a bit pale, said, "Yes, Tootsie Roll, but at the bar

    they have those hors d'oeuvres that are really delicious... I won't be long.

    I'll be right back. I promise. OK?"

    "You want hors d'oeuvres, Poochie Pooh?" She opened the oven and took out 5

    dishes of different hors d'oeuvres: chicken wings, pigs in blankets,

    mushroom caps, and pork strips.

    "But my sweet honey...at the bar .. you know...there's swearing, dirty words

    and all that..."

    "You want dirty words, Cutie Pie?... "LISTEN UP DICKHEAD! SIT DOWN, SHUT THE

    HELL UP, DRINK YOUR DAMN BEER IN YOUR DAMN FROZEN MUG AND EAT YOUR HORS

    D'OEUVRES BECAUSE YOUR MARRIED ASS ISN'T GOING TO A BAR! THAT SHIT IS

    OVER...GOT IT, ASSHOLE?"

    ....And, they lived happily ever after. Isn't that a sweet story?

  4. Bush and Osama decided to settle the war once and for all.

    They sat down and decided to settle the whole dispute with one dog fight.

    They would have 5 years to breed the best fighting dog in the world and

    whichever side's dog won would be entitled to dominate the world.

    Osama found the biggest, meanest Doberman and Rottweiler female dogs in the

    world and bred them with the meanest Siberian wolves. They selected only the

    biggest and strongest puppy from the litter, and removed his siblings, which

    gave him all the milk.

    After 5 years, they came up with the biggest, meanest dog the world had ever

    seen. Its cage needed steel bars that were 5 " thick and nobody could get

    near it.

    When the day came for the dog fight, Bush showed up with a strange looking

    animal. It was a 9 foot long Dachshund. Everyone felt sorry for Bush because

    there was no way that this dog could possibly last 10 seconds with the

    Afghanistani dog.

    When the cages were opened up, the Dachshund came out of its cage, and

    slowly waddled over towards Osama's dog.

    Osama's dog snarled and leaped out of its cage and charged the American

    Dachshund---but when it got close enough to bite, the Dachshund opened its

    mouth and consumed Osama's dog in one bite. There was nothing left of his

    dog at all.

    Osama came up to Bush, shaking his head in disbelief, "We don't understand

    how this could have happened. We had our best people working for 5 years

    with the meanest Doberman and Rottweiler female dogs in the world and the

    biggest, meanest Siberian

    wolves."

    "That's nothing,", said Bush. "We had Michael Jackson's plastic surgeons

    working for 5 years to make that alligator look like a wiener dog."

  5. A Mexican drinks his Tequilla and suddenly throws his glass in the air, pulls out his pistol and shoots the glass to pieces while it is in the air, He says in Mexico our glasses are so cheap that we don't need to drink from the same one twice Viva Mexico ! An Iraqi obviously impressed by this, drinks his camel beer, throws his glass in the air, pulls out his AK 47 and shoots the glass to pieces while it is still in the air, He says in Iraq we have so much sand to make the glasses that we don't need to drink out of the same glass twice either ! Praise Allah ! A US Marine cool as a cucumber picks up his Budweiser and drinks it, throws his bottle into the air, pulls out his M-9 Beretta and shoots the Mexican and the Iraqi. He says in America we have so many Mexicans and Arabs that we don't need to drink with the same ones twice !

    God Bless the USA

  6. When our lawn mower broke and wouldn't run, my

    wife kept hinting to me that I should get it fixed

    But, somehow the message never sank in.

    Finally, she thought of a clever way to make her point.

    When I arrived home one day, I found her seated in the tall grass, busily snipping away with a tiny pair of

    sewing scissors. I watched silently for a short

    time and then went into the house.

    I was gone only a few minutes, and when I came

    out again I handed her a ; toothbrush.

    "When you finish cutting the grass," I said, "you might as well sweep the sidewalks."

    The doctors say I will walk again, but I will

    always have a limp....

  8. HI ya Pete, and mlegg.

    well we thought the writing was on the wall from the take over.

    looks like all G4 wanted was the viewers from TTV and did not care how they got them. destroy tech, so they can just play around.

    well with out tech, their game machines will be useless.

    but guess they do not see that.

    well i guess i better get ready to start helping a little more here now.

    besides, i like this one better.

    it's more fun here. :lol:

  9. Probably the pentium D thats intels only dual core chip right now in my opinion they seen AMD was making the X2 so intel put two weak pentium 4's on one chip.

    <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

    AMD already released teh dual core chip before Intel released the Pentium D.

    if memory serves me, i think AMD is calling theirs the Opteron?

    or i think that was the name they were going to use, but AMD released theirs on the market first.

    boy, that was a first. :lol:

    as for the original question, that mother board supports the Pentium 4,

    that is not a dual core CPU.

    so the answer to your question is no, it does not support the Pentium D.

  10. go to this link,

    http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_abc.htm

    select B, then scroll down past bios, to black screen.

    there is 4 links on that page for that problem.

    also if you have the XP cd that came with the PC, thsi link will show how to use the recovery console to repair te problem.

    http://www.webtree.ca/windowsxp/repair_xp.htm

    now if the PC did not come with an XP cd, ten there is a partition on teh hard drive that is a fat32 partition which is the recovery partition.

    it may allow a repair install or a complete reformat and install.

    if you have the xp cd then try the repair options, of fixmbr, or fixboot.

    but check the first links first.

    should be simple to fix.

  11. I've been working on lights inside my car lately, just hooking up neons to a 12 volt source than a ground, and I was wondering if anyone knew what the different colored wires on a 4 pin connection from a power supply were?

    All I need is a 12 volt and a ground to a light to get the lights to work

    <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

    if yuo look on the side of the power supply, you will see a connector code and color code. it also tells what each color and voltage is and what the amperage rating is for each one.

  12. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2087-1754008,00.html
    “We have experimented with amputating or damaging several different organs, such as the heart, toes, tail and ears, and just watched them regrow,†she said. “It is quite remarkable. The only organ that did not grow back was the brain.

    ...the ability of mice at her laboratory to regenerate appears to be controlled by about a dozen genes.

    This is very interesting and holds great promise.

    In theory , drugs could be designed to turn on these genes temporarily in injured individuals or the aged to facilitate healing and replacement of damaged and missing tissues.

    Very similar to the hypothetical developement in Heinleins "Time Enough For Love" of regeneration and rejuvenation treatments capable of turning back the years and extending human lifespan to several times its "natural " length.

    I wonder if this will get the funding it deserves and if they can get it to expand to spinal tissue etc.

    How much of an organ or limb needs to remain to regenerate?

    <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

    dang, they should have come ot witrh it sooner. then i may have toes again.

    wonder if they were cross breeding with lizards? :rolleyes:

  13. The Mythbusters had a show about coke myths and most of the ones listed were busted except for the chrome bumper one.

    <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

    i can verify the chemicals. i have hauld them to a coke plant.

    had to have 3 placards on the trailer.

    corrosive, flamable, and dangerous.

    the phosphoric acid is corrosive,

    te flavoring powders are flamable,

    the combination of these is dangerous.

    coke does clean acid off batery terminals. done it.

  14. We all know that water is important but I've

    never seen it written down like this before.

    75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated.

    (Likely applies to half

    world> pop.)

    In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so

    weak that it is often

    mistaken for hunger.

    Even MILD dehydration will slow down one's

    metabolism as much as 3%.

    One glass of water shut down midnight hunger

    pangs for almost 100% of the

    dieters studied in a U-Washington study.

    Lack of water, the #1 trigger of daytime

    fatigue.

    Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses

    of water a day could

    significantly ease back and joint pain for up to

    80% of sufferers.

    A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy

    short-term memory, trouble

    with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the

    computer screen or on a printed page.

    Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the

    risk of colon cancer by

    45%, plus it can slash the risk of breast cancer by

    79%, and one is 50% less

    likely to develop bladder cancer.

    Are you drinking the amount of water you should

    every day?

    =================================================

    COKE

    No wonder coke tastes soooo good:

    1. In many states (in the USA) the highway

    patrol carries two gallons of

    Coke in the truck to remove blood from the

    highway after a car accident.

    2. You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of coke

    and it will be gone in two days.

    3. To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coca-Cola

    into the toilet bowl and

    .......Let the "real thing" sit for one hour,

    then flush clean. The citric

    acid in Coke removes stains from vitreous china.

    4. To remove rust spots from chrome car

    bumpers: Rub the bumper with a

    crumpled-up piece of Reynolds Wrap aluminum foil

    dipped in Coca-Cola.

    5. To clean corrosion from car battery

    terminals: Pour a can of Coca-Cola

    over the terminals to bubble away the corrosion.

    6. To loosen a rusted bolt: Applying a cloth

    soaked in Coca-Cola to the

    rusted bolt for several minutes.

    7. To bake a moist ham: Empty a can of

    Coca-Cola into the baking pan, wrap

    the ham in aluminum foil, and bake. Thirty

    minutes before the ham is

    finished, Remove the foil, allowing the

    drippings to mix with the Coke

    for a sumptuous brown gravy.

    8. To remove grease from clothes: Empty a can

    of coke into a load of greasy

    clothes, add detergent, And run through a

    regular cycle. The Coca-Cola will

    help loosen grease stains. It will also clean

    road haze from your windshield.

    FYI:

    1. The active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric

    acid. Its Ph is 2.8. It will

    dissolve a nail in about 4 days.

    2. To carry Coca-Cola syrup (the concentrate)

    the commercial truck must use

    the Hazardous material place cards reserved for

    Highly corrosive materials.
