  1. I do not understand what is so great about doing these mentos experiments. It lasts for what, about 5-10 seconds? I am sure that carbonated beverage companies are loving the profits that people are giving them to do these experiments. I never even heard of this until about 5 months ago. Now, it seems like the coolest thing to do.I've watched a couple of people try it out, but it really becomes old after watching it a few times. I just wish someone could give a good scientific explanation of what happens. That way people will know what happens when they do whatever and the current fad will be over. :-)Have a great day everyone!
  2. It really is a good site. I think the misses would like it. She can use free templates that they have. All she has to do is click on one and it will apply it to the whole journal. :-) Also, they show yearly visit reports. I can tell you how many visits I have had to my journal all year. It gives you a daily average of visits, as well as an average of comments. :-) Enjoy!Have a great day everyone!
  3. I'm having a similar problem. The connection keeps timing out around 30 seconds. I copy and pasted what austin had above, inserted my information, but I had no luck. I created my hosting account about 3 weeks ago. Help? Thanks!
  4. I have found Easyjournal to be a very cool blogging site. I thought I would pass along the link. http://www.easyjournal.com/ Here's what they say about themselves. :-) Easyjournal is sincerely free; that is not a joke. There is a paid version of Easyjournal though. The only difference between the paid version and the free version is: there aren't any advertisements, you can host public comment forums, create your own journal templates, and upload & store images. The subscription is paid in increments of either 6 or 12 months. I have experienced a free Easyjournal for over 3 years. :-) I use Easyjournal to record the daily events I go through in case I ever want to publish an autobiography. You can passcode your account to keep out people you don't want in. You can also send out an e-mail to your friends when you update with one click. You can receive and post comments on people's journals. There is also a private messaging system via Easyjournal. :-) I would suggest you check it out. :-) I don't work for Easyjournal or blah blah blah or anyone related. I am just a happy user. :-)
  5. Rebates are great things. So, how does Zone Alarm and K9 security compare to Spybot - Search & Destroy, Lavasoft Ad-Aware SE Personal, Windows Antispyware, Windows Firewall, Norton Antivirus, Bazooka? If you don't know, that's okay...just wondering. :-)Have a great day everyone!
  6. HP had a battery recall I think about a year ago. I forget if the battery just overheated a lot, or they did explode. I have the memory of a goldfish. :)I monitor the heat my laptop produces (including the battery) with a program my friend uploaded for me. When the heat sensor detects more than a certain temperature, it goes into like a "super cool down" mode. :DHave a great day everyone!
  7. Not a personal matter. Wherever the word "hacker" is used, the first thing that comes to mind is usually something associated with: virus, spyware, keyloggers, crashing of computers, data loss, stealing programs, and the like. I do understand your point though. Learning new programming languages and how things work is a wonderful thing. One of my best friends has been recently hired by NASA to work with their computers. He's a genius with computers, but he does not do any harm. You have those people though who learn about programming languages, and the like, just to make a virus and destroy the information on a complete stranger's computer. If they do not destroy computers, they steal programs and the like because they do not feel as if they need to pay for what they use. Those are the irresponsible, immature, idiotic (yay for alliterations!) people who have nothing else better to do. I call honest people (those who do not destroy/steal information-but learn for the fact of improving upon technology) who are really keen with computers, just that, honest people. That's my view on it if people agree with me or not. Have a great day everyone!
  8. Okay sparkx, retract the claws. That was my reply to your previous post where you said: Sorry that I did not outline that for you. Have an awesome day everyone! :-)
  9. Nice setup Kyro! I am behind Cisco Clean Access. The university has that set up and it scans everything for viruses and the like. That thing is like the god of firewalls. (LOL) Plus, we are on an internal type network that nothing but students and university people can access.I usually never find anything on those scans when I'm connected to the internet via the university. I will look into what you said about those other programs. They look pretty slick. :-) Thanks!Have an awesome day everyone!
  10. There are two parts to my charger. 1- Plug to charger box2- Charger box to computerI guess the box is a power converter or something of some type. I am getting power to the box and the charger end that plugs into the laptop.I have no clue how much it costs to go clubbing. (LOL) I live a sheltered life. :-)
  11. I love my laptop because it is basically a mobile desktop.I have a HP Pavilion zx5000.Intel Pentium 4Windows XP Home EditionATI Mobility Radeon 92003 USB ports5-in-1 Digital media portEthernet/modem connectionWireless Internet17' WidescreenHarman/Kardon speakersSoundMAX...as well as a lot of other stuff. :PThe Cons:~My battery life after 2-3 years is about 45 minutes to an hour. (Less when running more complicated programs like Bryce 5)~The cooling fans run ALL the time...that really is all I can think of. I gave you the specifics of my laptop because it is considered by most as a desktop on wheels. Blessings on finding your perfect computer!Have a great day everyone!
  12. I am in college and I use my laptop every single hour of the day (except those oh so few hours of sleep). I might call HP and ask them how long they think it would take to fix it. If it would take a couple of days, then I would send it over the upcoming Thanksgiving break. If it took longer than that, I would have to wait until Christmas. >_<I know I would get charged a lot because there was only a one year warranty. That creates a problem because college sucked up all my money. (LOL)If there's any more suggestions/comments/etc at all, send them my way. Thanks for all your help!Have a great day everyone!
  13. I have a HP Pavilion laptop. I bought it about 2-3 years ago. I try to plug in the charger end to my laptop and it does not start charging. I can take the back off of it, plug the charger in, and it works fine. I think that something is pushing back (in the laptop) and causing the connections not to touch. I would fix it myself, but I would have to take a lot of my laptop apart just to fix it. I do not feel comfortable doing that myself.My questions are: What is your suggestion to fix this?Has anyone else experienced this problem?If I took it to someone, how long do you think it would take for them to fix it (given that I am right)?If I took it to someone, how much money do you think I would have to pay?Thanks for all your help!Have a great day everyone!
  14. Hackers are people who have nothing better to do.
