I guess this is kind of random, but how many people do you think in the US still don't have a computer as of 2008? like 1%? 10%? Just wondering what you think.

Gotta love it!

I'm sure most of you have heard this already. But this is nothing out of the ordinary, in terms of Illinois government. We're a very corrupt state.

General Discussion / Browser question

« on: December 03, 2008, 06:44:42 PM »

As you all know, pretty much every internet browser has an auto complete feature. Is there a way to clear specific entries from the auto complete feature without wiping EVERYTHING out?

It's live. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YU4CrEOB7sc (The video's owner prevents external embedding)

General Discussion / Do you consider yourself eco-friendly?

« on: November 30, 2008, 03:59:42 PM »

Do you save energy? Do you try to drive less? Do you recycle? Do you buy biodegradable/eco-friendly products?

Do you consider yourself to be eco-friendly?

I'm bored.

Questions, Comments, Suggestions / Just throwin this out there

« on: November 18, 2008, 05:13:48 PM »

Just wondering: Is it possible to decrease the number of emoticons that appear directly on the posting page. Whenever I make a post, it always takes a little while for all of the emoticons to load. Maybe it's possible to show just one line of the emoticons versus 2.5?

I dunno.

Bug Reports / Running emulator for extended periods of time

« on: November 13, 2008, 07:29:21 PM »

Lately I've been having the emulator run constantly on one of my computers. I notice that after 5+ hours, the emulator is stuck on the "Splash screen" and does not change. Music continues to rotate, however.

Local Forecast / Core Of Io

« on: November 05, 2008, 07:30:15 PM »

I know this has been brought up before, but has anyone had any recent luck contacting Gregg Dalesandro aka "Core Of Io"? I looked through some backup CD's I have, and found that the copy of "Mother My Angel" is practically un-listenable.

Anyone?

General Discussion / Newest member of the family

« on: October 04, 2008, 01:49:39 PM »

Yeah..  Picked this one up real cheap. Built from 1995-1997, it's more expandable than a Mac Pro ( ), with 6 PCI slots. This thing is a beast. The processor is on a removable daughtercard. Really fast SCSI bus (No IDE/ATA) and an overall excellent motherboard architecture.

This is noted as being one of the WORST cases that Apple has ever made. I took it off last night to install my drive, and spent over 4 hours trying to get the SOB back on. Whatever.

This was also one of the only Macs to use a PowerPC 604e microprocessor.
It's a Power Macintosh 9500.

(you can click the thumbnails for larger pics)















It doesn't boot though. Have to figure that one out.

Local Forecast / TWC Songs you've heard in other places

« on: October 01, 2008, 03:56:18 PM »

I didn't see this topic here, so I thought I'd bring it up. Have you heard music features on TWC in other places, such as radio, stores, etc.? If so, which songs/artists and where?

My friend and I were coming home from school today, and on the radio, there was a commercial that featured Steve Glotzer's "January Day" in the background, playing throughout the commercial. A good 1 minute portion was used.

General Discussion / Inconsiderate people....................

« on: September 20, 2008, 09:47:51 AM »

SOME people in my immediate area think it's lovely to start jack-hammering and sawing at 8:30 on a Saturday morning....Others enjoy having their lawn mowing people come around 8

What's worse is having ALL of that at the same time. A steady wall of noise.

What ever happened to common courtesy?

This is why I hate people, and the suburbs....
