    Ahh, "Fucktard", my most favoured of all insults!!!

    But i think teachers rock, im not just saying that because my missus is misway through a double degree in teaching/arts.

    Honestly.

    Ok, now i understand what they mean by "in jokes"
    I don't get it.

    Just munge it out in the registry
    from memory it's something like hkey\currentsoftware\installedsoftware\microsoft\i nternetexplorer\titlebar [key]. It's been ages since i've done the mod, pissed all the customisations yahoo did to my missus pc off into the ether.

  5. Re:All I know... on What Has Number Portability Done For You? · · Score: 1

    I still can't get my head around paying to recieve phone calls. I'm in Australia and i dont think that we ever did have the misfortune of paying to recieve phone calls to mobiles.

    oh yeah, we've had MNP for like 3-4 years or so. :-). The only time i've used it is to switch from prepaid to postpaid on the same carrier.

    Oh and don't ever get a three phone, they suck the dogs bollocks!!

    ah you need this like a Hole in the head huh?

    oh wait, you could always use it to photograph a potential abducter

    and send it to the cops. :-)

  8. Im guessing it was a mate of his on Blaster Writer Caught · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I mean, maybe he borrowed his mates computer to do something, saw something interesting, then got told to take a long walk off a short plank when he tried to blackmail him.

    Well until someone is caught and Proven to have written the virus, as far as im concerned it is a bunch of FUD.

  9. Rip the adware out like i did. on Divx Now Adware Supported Only · · Score: 1

    Just install the adware supported one (it uses gator *cringe* ) and then kill the gator program off from running and then delete it off your pc. Your pc works just fine, and gator is only on there for all of 2 minutes until you nix it. :-)

  10. Re:Gaim? on MSN Messenger Access To Be Restricted · · Score: 1

    My girlfriend got about 20 copies of it. and gets a new copy of it whenever she logs on using her messenger (v3.5). She tried using the latest version she could( thats 4.6 as she has Windows 95, yes she has a 233MMX & a whopping 32meg of ram.) But that was getting *MAJOR* connectivity issues in that the software would barf and not be able to talk to anyone else online. Seems that i may have to slice her pc open and try makin it a itty bit faster so it can run a later peice of Microsoft bloatware, oh im sorry "Operating system". Windows XP be damned, i wouldnt go past 2000, maybe even keep her on windows 98 *shudder*.

  16. Re:Motorcycles on What's Your (non-tech) Hobby? · · Score: 1

    Cool :-), It's damned satisfying restoring a bike. I did that with a Honda CB250 and enjoyed it.. Then i melted a hole in a piston when i had just clocked up 400km's on it due to a airleak on the manifold clamp, and then gave it to a friend. now im content doing maintenance work on a Kawasaki EL250. In case you are wondering why im doing a 250 is simply cause im legally restricted to 250cc|/160kw/Tonne and this fits in there and is a comfy ride.

    But if ya rich like some bastard called "Rene Rivkin" you can buy down your time to weekend detention, then get doctors to fake diagnose you as having bipolar syndrome and not fit to be hospitalised. So far the bastard shoulda had 3 weekends of pulling out noxious weeds (not THAT kinda week numbnuts) outta parklands. but he's managed to get it down to a half day, if that....

    Makes me feckin sick.

    Ah, it's always from some ficticious email address saying microsoft support. just add a filter that bitblasts the sender and there's no more worry's. I've got about 15-20 filters on my incoming email. and Funny enough only about 4 of them actually are used to drop useful email into the right mail folder. the rest of them are to nuke things like this.

    Strange that, even I made it.

    I went to it as it was advertised mysteriously in the local paper as a genuine job. I sat and listened, it took all of 10 minutes for me to realise it was a sales pitch to me. To this day I dont know why i didn't walk outta there, I guess "morbid curiosity" really.

    After i left i was swearing my ass off, they wasted my time, wasted my petrol, and for fuck sake, i dry cleaned my fecking SUIT!

    Not intending to mislead the JEDEC is no excuse to doing it. They either did or didn't. Try telling a traffic cop you didn't intend to speed.
