  1. 1) When I was 14 I was crawling in the sand at the beach and hit my knee on a little bolt that is used to keep the play structure in place. That little cut put me on crutches for that summer and I had to stop playing soccer for 2 years. It is fine now. 2) I can whistle while breathing in and out.

  3. Not a new hard drive, it has been in use a very long time. When I hit F10 on the logo screen nothing happens at all. it just keeps booting like nothing is happening. I tried using F8 and Del as well as Backspace and F1 to get into the bios but nothing seems to work. It's as if the keyboard isn't giving any input to the system but clearly it is.

  4. Those were some of the very first things that I tried. The cables are definetly in there properly. As for the Dust bunnies, I spent about 5 mins with an air can blasting ones that were about the size of my hand out from the fans and inside the PCI slots. I am pretty sure the problem is with the disk drive controller because the first message that I got was this drive does not contain and valid FAT partition information. On reboot the message didn't come but the computer would boot with a disk in the drive. "Impossible is a word to be found only in the dictionary of fools." Napoleon Bonaparte
  5. I was hoping you would get back to me. 1-No. Nothing ever happens. The compaq screen just sits on the monitor until which time it tries to find a boot disk or it goes to the network boot. 2- See above 3- Windows 98 4-Can boot from a floppy, but only to dos where no tools will load. I cannot even change drives. 5- Compaq was a second hand computer bought by a friend of mine. It isn't mine, I know better. "Impossible is a word to be found only in the dictionary of fools."

  6. Normally I would have had this figured out by now but compaqs give are a pain. Last night after fixing numerous other problems, I finally got this compaq deskpro 400 to boot into windows. This morning, the hard disk is nowhere to be found. Boot disk don't load tools anywhere because there is no drive to mount and I cannot seem to get into the bios to check on the disk controller. If anyone has any ideas please pm me or post them below. If you need more info, I'll be back from my exam in about 3 hours. "Impossible is a word to be found only in the dictionary of fools."

  7. Just walking through our registration dept. to talk to some buddies and I hear "Why don;t you wanna come to hooters with me tomorrow at 530"? This was asked of a friends gf. He also works here. What are some of the strangest things you have heard at the office? "Impossible is a word to be found only in the dictionary of fools." Napoleon Bonaparte
  8. I was really hoping I wasn't the only one to have this fear, but here it goes. Injections- Trypanophobia I also have an extremely severe phobia of Needles and Spiders. All spawn from when I was a little kid. Those at my DZ can ask me about the interesting stories over a beer sometime. Needles make me cringe.

  10. I had to manually add my personal address book and then that made it all the easier. I don't thing your ranting at all. There are a few things about lotus that really piss me off, a few of them you already mentioned. For the most part I do enjoy Lotus notes just because I can tie it into everything on my system and on our network here. Thank You again, that made life so much easier.

  11. Wow this is great, I just knew someone on here would be able to help me out. Thank You "Impossible is a word to be found only in the dictionary of fools." Napoleon Bonaparte
  12. I am at work and am getting tired of having to always manually enter the names of the managers that need to be notified when I make a shift trade. So, I am wondering, what do I need to be able to make a group in my lotus notes without bypassing the security that is on the program?

    Seeing as how we occupy the border just above you I think that entitles me to a pretty informed opinion of American politics. Personal attacks aside for a moment shrub, as I described is a pettite bush. Or a bush that is still growing. This term in was coined from the fact that he is George Bush Junior hence shrub. I am glad to see that there are others here who also share the same opinion that this was purely a political move. You don't have to agree with it, you don't even have to like it. Unfortunatly you are going to have to read it. "Impossible is a word to be found only in the dictionary of fools." Napoleon Bonaparte

    As great as this is, I suspect that this was purely for political gain. With the elections comming up soon, something tells me this was just to secure votes as he is not doing as well as most would like on the home front. Having said that, this was truely a very classy move on his part and great for morale of the troops. Nice move shrub, I mean Bush. "Impossible is a word to be found only in the dictionary of fools."

    Kazaa Lite

    I don't have that problem but I am having a problem where music I have already dl'ed suddenly are no longer available and I have to download them again. Anyone have any ideas? "Impossible is a word to be found only in the dictionary of fools." Napoleon Bonaparte
  16. BNow that google has their toolbar out, it would be a good idea to supplement running all these apps with that. I installed it about a week ago and it has eliminated ALL the pop ups I used to get. Bold statement I know, but take my word for it this is the best toolbar I have used yet.

  17. I can fix this garuanteed. Just PM me the OS she has and if she has the CD or not and I can have it fixed in minutes. Let me know if you need me. "Impossible is a word to be found only in the dictionary of fools." Napoleon Bonaparte
  18. i've gotten 4 People to jump since I started. The first 2 were the people that I jumped with on my premier time out. Of those 2, 1 of them made it to the papper pulls then stopped. This past year I had 3 more friends come out. 1 just wanted to do it to say it's been done, and the other really loves being under canopy and is going to make an effort to jump more. I don't think i'm going to actively convice people to come out anymore. Because it's extremly dangerous and unless they completly understand what they are getting into, I would rather just tell them about it on the ground.

  19. here in Canada, Best Buy has it for sale at 16.99. If you are in the States, you will likely have it as well. I really learned to appreciate the new CD when my buddy had me listen to it for 2 hours on the way back from Grey Cup. "Impossible is a word to be found only in the dictionary of fools."

  20. Just piked up the new Linkin Park CD about 20 mins ago. I have the chance to listen to it here at work and they are pretty good live. here is what the cd comes with: 1 cd with 12 live tracks including: Somewhere I belong Points of Authority Numb One step closer And a DVD including music videos and video of the live performance.

  21. If this was a normal year up here, we would have had snow in late October. This round goes to you, hopefully there will be snow left over late in the season. "Impossible is a word to be found only in the dictionary of fools." Napoleon Bonaparte
  22. I am literally shocked. Almost the end of november here and NO SNOW. When the snow does come this thread will fill up. "Impossible is a word to be found only in the dictionary of fools." Napoleon Bonaparte
  23. My Hummer has been Hijacked "Impossible is a word to be found only in the dictionary of fools." Napoleon Bonaparte
  24. Not sure if this article mentioned it or not,but GM is lobbying to have China become an early adopter of the hydrogen technology. The problem of course is 2 fold. 1) The big oil co. don't want to make the switch yetbecause there is plenty of money to be had in the fossil fuel source. 2) hydrogen refueling stations do not exist and have an extreme startup cost. What we need are lots of subsidies and somehow investments from oil co's. "Impossible is a word to be found only in the dictionary of fools." Napoleon Bonaparte
  25. Was watching the show " The Screen Savers" today and saw this concept for a hummer. It runs on alternative fuel sources like, hydrogen, Olive oil. Was thinking to myself if they can improve the milage on a hummer from 7 to 19, think of what they can do with normal cars using the same Mod. This is a vehicle using all these alternatives and is a concept, but supplementing existing fossil fuels hydrogen seems to make more sense in the short term than making the switch to hydrogen in one step. Seems to me like it would help to keep the costs down. More Here "Impossible is a word to be found only in the dictionary of fools." Napoleon Bonaparte
