Not to mention that the board itself is multi-layered, so if you try to solder some component on it, you'll probably do more damage.

In that case, you can put in me as an author.

he, he

I get errors almost every time (server timeout), but 1 out of 10 tries works.

It is the thought that counts.... but who's counting thoughts, anyway?

There is one thing that bugs me here.

In the Quick Reply box, on the right-click menu there are no "cut" and "copy" menu items. I don't know if that is related to the daniweb or if it is IE bug, since Firefox and Opera do have those menu items.

Shadows On The Wall - Mike Oldfield

It's close.

All this civilization-talk reminds me of Sid Meier.

Angie - The Rollingstones

1. If you can find someone else you can trick into supporting you in your desires to live the life you want while you're young, go right ahead.

I wasn't talking about my early retirement (I now realize that my words point to just that). I was talking more of utopia my way.

2. Commercial exploitation is the definition of your ant colony, is it not? I say that human civilization is beyond that.

Commercial exploitation? Yes it is. It is the driving force of the civilization, and I KNOW that the "human" civilization is just that. Have you ever been to Africa? That's the real face of civilization you praise.

And you are correct that we are quickly running toward ant-like totality in much of society. Where we disagree is that you seem to have claimed this as a form of civilization, whereas I see it as the decivilizing of our world.

Sorry to break it to you, but ALL of the things that you (and everybody here) use in your every day life came from decivilizing factors you despise. Every manufacturer is looking for the way to manufacture cheaper product in order to collect the profit (greed). Cheap electronic parts, slippers, ANYTHING used is, in 90% of the cases, made of cheapest possible parts. And those parts are often produced in 3rd world countries (where ppl work for monthly wage that is less than you spend in a day). By buying a cheap sunglasses I endorse the …

You're missing my point. Collective Gatherings, even for the purpose of keeping the totality alive, are. not. Civilization. The things which make Civilization require the presence of that spark of greatness inside humankind that you apparently wish to deny even exists..

Wrong!

- I never said that ants have a civilization.... They have highly ordered society. Total order if you will. That's what our civilization is going for. Total suppression of the individual for the benefit of the collective. Just think about it, man... Do you have retirement plans? You do? Now let's elaborate those plans a little:
You go to school.
You find a job.
You make a career of it.
You end your career.
You live in some worm place and enjoy your golden years.

Way I see it:

1. You go to school. - You educate your self mostly for the work.

2.You find a job, you make a career of it, you end your career. - Work, work, work. 30 - 40 years of it. (best part of your life)

3. You live in some worm place and enjoy your golden years. - After you're 70!! I want to do that in my 20's, 30's, 40's, 50's and 60' also.

Point 2 is what really matters in human civilization. Working, building, doing something that benefits the "society" (read: big buck corporations that run our lives). Same principal goes for ants. Whole point of existence of …

One fact regarding ants: they are pure example of collective intelligence. (As, single ant can only run in circles, but the colony as a whole can migrate, rebuild, devastate...) Something similar to the human civilization, only on a smaller scale. Social order among ants bare painful resemblance to our civilized world. Workers, soldiers, babysitters, queen (hello, Dani). Only thing lacking there is individuality. (We are ants. Resistance is futile.)

Right and wrong are imaginary values exclusive to humans and often one contradicts the other. All depending from one's point of view. Another imaginary value, that we hold dear, is money. You can say (and would be right) that the money is one of the key differences between humans and the rest of the fauna. That and high expectations that, in conjunction with power to observe and learn (intelligence) and implanted curiosity, drive us the way we are going, are what separates us from "common animals", but all of that is observation from the human point of view. For all we know, dogs have different standards for right and wrong. Who's to tell?

My point is: we don't know what goes on in some animal's head, we don't know the way some animal thinks, and therefore we can't say for certain that our way of thinking and acting is superior.

Greenpeace or PETA would say that our way of acting is COMPLETELY wrong and upsets the nature's balance, but that would be true if the nature itself was …

One word for ya, Consciousness. The human brain is the most complex, and our degree of consciousness is competitive with no other species known to this planet.

Key word = "known".

What's Your Name - Lynard Skynyrd

I am not an animal, humans aren't animals that's why we're called "humans." We can reason, animals can't.

1. Yes you are, whether you like it or not.

2. "We can reason, animals can't" - says who? You just can't UNDERSTAND animals. If you think that the humans are the smartest animals on the planet, then I say by what standards?

Brains size? Dolphins have same size brains. Whales have 5 times bigger brains, and people eating them.

Civilization and order? Think ants.

Only thing that separates us from the rest of the animal kingdom is speech and disposable thumbs. All other goodies came from those two things: tools, weapons, machinery, gadgets, written words, teaching, science...

I disagree completely. The economy would fail. You can't try to change all that stuff at once. Do you not realize how far trucks travel just to deliver a certain company's products? Automobiles utterly transformed the way this country operated economically. I'm sorry, but this is just too silly to try to debate on.

Let's not forget trains and cargo ships. Volume, volume, volume....

I just got 2 triple notifications and one double.

P.S. Game over. Edited my profile.

No, I wasn't. 'Stein called me Chalky once before... Syntax lapsus.

I gave you some rep. And a comment.

Ooooh I know what it is!

Do you?

Check your control panel.

Correct!

Still haven't moved there.

No hablar Español.

Nah.

Hint: It also starts with an H. Confusing, isn't it?

was i right with B.C?

Nope.

Another hint: Wrong continent.

No * 6

Hint: Starts with C

ATX = Advanced Technology eXtended

For the 12V... either it is just some extra meaningless numbers or seriously impaired PSU.

Bad Boy Boogie - AC/DC

lol.. so you're not telling us? that's not cool..

I'll tell you.... eventually.

was i right when i guessed canada?

Not even close.

Know what? I'll make it a a game.

OK, ppl. I have a new word game here. Invented it myself.
The goal is to guess where I'm from. You keep posting the answers and I promise I'll say "Correct!" on the right answer. Rule is 1 country at the time and no posting in a row.

The price is moral satisfaction (and some rep from me).

I gave you clues throughout my posts here. So if you think that you're smart enough, give it a try.

P.S. I'm not reacting on Dani's "guesses", since she knows my IP address.

Animal rights? Animals can't vote -- they have no rights!

Humans are animals too. Worst kind of animals. Only kind that kills for no reason.

This is kind of fun... watching ppl trying to guess where am at and stuff. He he.

For the diving licence I need to:

- pass a full physical exam (including a psycho test)
- do 30 h of traffic lesions (classroom stuff)
- do 30 h of driving (the "L" car stuff)
- pass a first aid test
- pass a traffic exam (written test)
- pass a driving test
- pay an arm and a leg
- not before the age of 18

New laws say that the rookie drivers can only drive with senior driver in the car for 2 years. Also, rookie drivers can drive only from 7 AM to 11 PM. Now that's a silly law.

About that shooting and gun control.... Why is it that, for instance, to get a driver's licence I need to pass a psycho-test, but to buy a gun in state of Virginia all I need is $$$? (so I've heard) That's what NRA lobbied for, so every crazy sob can purchase a gun (and go on the shooting rampage).

Take a look here.

Helpful thing here would be posting your mobo model (and manufacturer). That is, if the problem still occurs.

I've just read trough this thread. From page one to here. One question comes to my mind:

Does anyone here know the title of this thread? Or the forum?

14 pages., 200 replies (this would make 201) and all we came up with is 14 suggestions. I think that ratio is devastating. Most of the posts here are WAY OFF topic:angry:, so, people, please stick to the topic.

P.S. I'm not a mod-wannabe.

*ignoring the encrypted posts and getting back on the topic*

Here's one thing I would change around here:

In the control panel/subscriptions page, a sort by subscription type would be nice.
Those
Click here to unsubscribe from this thread
Click here to unsubscribe from ALL threads
links are conveniently placed just under a thread/post link.
And same color too.

A miss-click waiting to happen.
Some sort of un-unsubscribe function would be nice, but I think that it would be too much of a hustle.

it seems it mite b my doing for typing badly?......o.0...whod of that it would bud such a discussion?..lol...<-- again

Encrypted!

it seems it mite b my doing for typing badly?......o.0...whod of that it would bud such a discussion?..lol...<-- again

:?:

So if no one cares, why all the fuss then?.....hmm?

Or is this another postcount game?

To me it seems postcount > 1000 = "I own the place now, Moan about everything and everyone you naughty little children"

Jealous?

That will kill the gaming performance. If it wasn't necessary before, it shouldn't be necessary now.

btw, can you do a screen capture (of the distortion and discoloration) and post it here? It might give me a clue or two.

There's no need for another thread. Mod can simply move this one into more apropriate forum. (Viruses, Spyware and other Nasties)

Is there ANY sound at all?
Doubleclick on the sound icon on the taskbar and see if the volume slidebar moves while you press the fn+pgdn or pgup.

Also, rightclick on the my computer, select properties, click on the "hardware" tab, click on the "device manager" button and see if there are any problematic devices (would be displayed as branched-out icon with red cross or yellow exclamation point on the device icon, or one big question mark labeled as "unknown device")

hmmm...

Seems that the "verzion" software that you're using is slightly corrupted. I suggest that you uninstall it and reinstall it. That would fix the error message that you receive upon each reboot.

Is your sound muted? (fn+home or uncheck "mute" on the taskbar icon)

Here's the deal:

1st of all, turn on the firewall (that is if you're not using one)

It seem s that you do have a nasty in there. It is called "Fuzzy Algorithmcheck".

I suggest that you do the following:

Hit ctrl-alt-del (task manager) click on "processes" tab and look for (sort it by name, it's easier):
ipwins.exe

There could be also 2 instances of "winlogon.exe".Clean one is of size 536K (mem usage). If you see 2 of those and one is bigger or smaller than 536K, kill it (right-click on it and select "end process")

After you have killed those proceses, run the hijackthis again and do the following (you have to do EXACTLY what I say, otherwise you might render your windows useless):

As, I said, run the hijackthis. No need for saving logfile.
Find and check these lines:
(checkboxes are on the right)

F3 - REG:win.ini: load=C:\WINDOWS\system32\fkwrpabkw\winlogon.exe

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [IpWins] C:\Program Files\Ipwindows\ipwins.exe

O2 - BHO: AutoFill helper object - {2A7ECB62-99B9-45DE-9028-69DCC5ADF698} - C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files\AxFreshStartBanking.dll

Now click on the "fix checked" and confirm it.

After that, restart your PC and run the hijackthis again and post a new log here.

P.S.
It is possible that some processes would keep reappearing. That means that the trojan is active and is monitoring the activities. In that case it would be a good idea to run a virus check with bitdefender. (download the …

Run this thing, save the log file and post it here.
