General Discussion / MAJOR Computer Problem

« on: November 03, 2008, 03:23:44 PM »

I was rebooting my Compaq computer last night because I installed an update for Norton, and I get this error that says something along the lines of "Disk Boot Failure - Insert Disk and Reboot." The screen is also appearing very blurry. Is this a sign of a harddrive failure? If so, if I send this to a computer repair shop will they back up my files? Someone please help! I'm worried that all my important files will be gone!

General Weather Chat / 10 year anniversary of Hurricane Mitch

« on: October 26, 2008, 07:59:06 AM »

This week will mark 10 years since Hurricane Mitch, the second deadliest hurricane on record, made landfall on Central America. While I barely remember this hurricane, it caused more than 11,000 deaths and several thousand more reported missing. Does anyone else here remember Mitch?

Michael Colone, whose music was featured in 1999 and Christmas music which is still used to this day, is now on YouTube. Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/user/EnchantingHoliday

Only his Christmas songs are on there, not his other music that was used in the late 90's.

Post your favorite YouTube videos here as long as they are appropriate of course.

Here's some I found

Billy Mays Falls into a bathtub

Does it really take that long to say "you don't need a cabinet full of cleaners" the right way?

If you choose to do so post pictures of yourself here.

Richard Wright, founder and keyboardist for the rock band Pink Floyd, died today from cancer at 65. Although I like a few songs by Pink Floyd, I know a lot of people who are loyal fan of the band. RIP

General Discussion / New Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune Season

« on: September 08, 2008, 08:06:50 PM »

Today marked the first day of the 25th season for Jeopardy! and 26th season for Wheel of Fortune. What do you guys think of it?
 
 This season we have new music for Jeopardy and that really shocked me. This is probably the biggest change they made to the theme music since 1997, not long after Merv Griffin sold the program to Sony Pictures. I don't really like the new music at all. I hope they change it back, though I'll probably grow on it sooner or later. Aside from that and new graphics (which usually happens every year) nothing much else has changed.
 
 New Wheel of Fortune graphics as well, including a new graphic for the category and jackpot round. Also, a new $1 Million bonus round where the $100,000 prize is substituded for the $1 Million wedge if you get no bankrupts. The $1 Million wedge also replaced the old $10,000 wedge. I like it.
