  1. yeah it was blims idea and i agree with her. this and the Cafe' are staples in the BestTechie Community. the two most used threads in here and even though not alot of useful stuff happens in either, both threads are important for the feel and and atmosphere of here. plus i like them alot and i am practically the Don of the Open Chat section so up they go.
  2. you know what, your right blim, this is visited and refereed to enough that it should be pinned. (cafe' is now pinned in placed) (and the bar is now pinned) now that's fixed. forgive me, i'm just venting. well i'm pretty depressed. aside from the fact that i've had a rough year and you guys know that i've had an even rougher couple of months but the last few days have been really hard. i'm getting to the point of what's the point anymore. i've learned alot about myself on the inside in the last year and all, but i'm jsut not happy. and all the things that i think might make me happy, i just
  3. could you please provide more information on the laptop. this would help especially in finding information on typical problems with that particular laptop.
  4. ohhhh you guys haven't seen anything yet. they've get alot more planned before the years half over. yeah they're still selling the G4 Powerbooks, as long as they've got inventory left they might as well. now what rumor were you referring to? just so that you know. i'll leave this thread here for now even though it belongs in the Mac Section. but next time you might want to just post in the The Apple Nook. http://www.besttechie.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=5808
  5. you can also use "disk utility" which comes on a Mac. just make sure you choose the "Zero Out" option. this goes to every block and manually writes a zero in it's place. it is in the utilities folder on both OS X and Os 9. it also comes on all Mac OS disks but you don't have those so i have a couple of questions. are they OS X or OS 9 and do you have the ability to burn CDs on any of the Macs? if you do then you can create a rescue disc that will let you boot the computer off the CD and use disk utility. which i like cause it's free and secure. now if you don't have a CD Burner available t
  6. you must mean the political section. well for one thing later today in about 3 hours we're have a special meeting with all the Admins and Mods and one of the main topics is going to be that section. we were going to have it earlier but some between the holidays and personal family problems wouldn't allow it. it should be finalized soon. it's not as easy as just sticking a new section and we're thinking things out. we want it done right the first time so that we and others will be prepared and so that all the us Mods and Admins know what to do, how far to go, and so that everyone is on the same

    Hello.

    Hello and welcome to BestTechies. you'll fit in just fine. just don't feed the woozles!
  8. i know it's my only real purpose here. i'm like a stand up comic who happens to be a Wookie. RR RRR R RRRRRRRRRR RRR RRRRRRRR! RRRRRR R RRRRRRRRR RRRRRR! R R R RR R RR RRR! (and the crowd laughs their butts off) RRRR R R RRR RRR RRRRRRRR! (the Wookie bows and is done with his set)
  9. BOW BEFORE ME AS I AM A GOD! (trips and falls flat on his face) i meant to do that. i was gona have the 10 commandment of tech but i'm lazy so here's the 4 commandments. 1. always defrag your Hard Drive 2. never bring any viruses here or i'll shoot you with a zip file 3. your god needs booze to recharge his fuel cells 4. and if your the last one to leave at the destruction of the universe you must turn out the lights and shut the door out your way out. i'm not paying to heat the whole universe and micro cosmos.
  10. actually this isn't new technology but i haven't seen it done on this big of a scale before.
  11. congrats iccaros!!! she'll be compiling programs before you know it
  12. i fixed it for you. now you have 2 choices. personally i think the X-Box is over bloated with useless features raising the price to far too high and is still far to unstable for actual use. far too many people with problems and most of the games were obviously rushed out because the X-Box was rushed out. it's just too darn gimmicky right now for my taste.
  13. mostly i just lock myself away in the shop and putter with inventions but sometimes i go for walks in the park in late at night so that i'm alone.
  14. i just realized that i never posted my best one here, it may be because it's from an anime and i think i'm pretty much the only anime fan here. but just in case you might like it. this is from an anime named Golden Boy and this is the one that Pat and i made and entered in at the convention. just click the media url link. about 10mb in Real Player Format http://www.ourmedia.org/node/129803

  18. thanks sidekitcat for the mommy mode. yes this is probably just another delay tactic and yes, judging by the looks of some of them i do feel like i'm getting infected just talking to them. but that may just be me.
  19. the news doesn't report the news anymore. it's a become a competition to get the story out first and with the get the most people attention. they don't have the time to be bothered with such things like truth.

  22. [RANT] here i am always talking about how hugely overweight i am now i'm trying to stop pigging out and now while watching TV i can't go 5 minutes with out seeing something tempting. seriously watch tv, almost every other commercial shows either some unhealthy food or a product that makes life lazier, i mean according to the commercial makes life easier. as if we really need a car that fold the car seats up at the push of a button. come on, just how lazy are we now. doors that automatically open and close, i even started to notice product placement in my video games. [/RANT] OK guys here's y
  23. nice tattoo tictoc5150. it reminded my to post this thread cause i have a question about tattooing. i've actually been considering a tattoo for years now. i've always been OK with tattoo and kinda understand why people get them. i am a true nerd in, almost the king, but you guys already know that. so it scares me a bit. the problem with having alot of intelligence is know just how easily it is to get an infection from it. 1,000,000's of germs a the very tip of that needle and on your skin that are being pushed into your skin. but i understand when it's something that means that much to you tha
