General Discussion / Re: Another Day, Another Dumb 911 Call

« on: March 07, 2009, 05:03:56 PM »

I remember hearing that somewhere in Ohio that someones phone would automatically dial 911 whenever their power went out.

That happened to me. I was over at a friends house, there parents went somewhere with mine, and since the phone had low power it called 911. No one knew until a police came to the door and said that someone prank called 911. We explained that no one did, and he said that new phones often do that.

From that, I learned this... Always ptu the phone back on the charger when you are done with it

General Discussion / Re: Windows NT 4.0 PCMCIA Problem

« on: March 06, 2009, 09:53:34 PM »

I'm still a NT4 user. All I can say is that the OS is not P&P, and you need to find the drivers.

Auctually, Windows 2K drivers never worked on my NT machine. Windows 2000 is far more advanced then NT4 was. I just never found the point.

If it helps, right click on the device in device manager, and click Properties or Edit. There should be somekind of options to set.

Some hints, make sure that it is upgraded to the latest service pack. That will help. Try plugging it into another system and find out the make and model of the PCMCIA card, then look up a Windows NT compatible card. The last thing (but sad) is to upgrade to a newer OS.

Luckly, im all covered with Windows 7

I think that it will eventually. If everything is functional, it should be released. It there is still more to implement, then we need to give him time. We don't want to get into the mess like the 4000 is in...

General Discussion / Re: What the hell is cartoon network thinking!?!?!!

« on: March 01, 2009, 03:52:06 PM »

The only shows that I remember watching on Cartoon Network were Scooby Doo, Dexters Lab, Cow and Chicken, Courage the Cowardly Dog, a Pup named Scooby Doo, Tom and Jerry.  That's pretty much all I can remember.  I was a Nickelodeon kid.

Yep, those were great cartoons! It's pretty much the same for Nick too, but at least they devoted Nicktoons Network to the old cartoons.

Agreed. Those were great shows Luckely, Comcast supports the Nicktoons Network, so I can watch all of the older shows that I love.

Yeah, only if you have the expanded digital package, which I refuse to pay for. 

I do have that. They just will refuse to carry Bomerang period

I just noticed this... the two stars are multitasking together. Somethings are labeled as Lansing, some East Lansing, and the Star ID is also running as the East Lansing one.
