  1. I think I am going to stop putting updates on my computer using Windows XP because if they slowly want to diminish the use of it then they might make you put stuff on there to make you do it. I have not had any problems with my computer with just Service Pack 2 so I don't think the third will be necessary. Of course I have Vista now on my laptop so I guess it doesn't matter but on my desktop I want to keep it XP so I can continue to play games. After reading the specifics though with all of the security updates I might end up downloading it anyway because it will end up doing it for me.
  2. I remember learning all this stuff in a movie during drivers' education class. Even then it was boring but it still important to know just how much a seat belt can help if you are in a car accident. Without it you might fly out your windshield. My only fear is that if you go under water or get stuck upside down that you might not be able to get out as quickly if you are fumbling to get your seat belt off.
  3. I have only heard of a story in which a male who was previously a woman is now pregnant or the other way around. I say good luck to that child as they will not know who their true mother or father is. As for your findings of a true male being fertilized, I find that quite odd and out there as I do not think he has the proper nutrients to provide the baby and I do not think he personally could live. I would think there would be more publication about this research because it would spurt quite an argument morally and politically. See if you can find at least three sources that cover the same thing but not quoting word for word. If you can not find anything then I guess we will just hear about it if it is successful.
  4. With new phones that are only able to call certain numbers parents program as well as emergency numbers, it has allowed children to have a cell phone at a younger age without running up the bill. These phones are for emergencies or when children are away from parents. Defining an age to have a cell phone would depend on your situation. If you are working a lot and say your kid goes to a friend's house it would be nice for them to call you even if they are eight years old. This being the case, they mine as well start using them as they are young because it is becoming a larger part of society.
  5. Nice accumulation of sites. For some reason though I can only see the sites listed from 0-9 to B and nothing past that. For more visitors I would suggest editing the images on the left so that everything fits onto the page without having to scroll left and right. It would also be nice if it had a table as to whether you or someone you know has been paid by them before and maybe have a link to proof for people because I am sure some of the 700 can not be legit. Great job though on finding all those. Do that for GPT sites and I will be to your page everyday.
  6. After playing for about ten minutes I failed miserably after a little while so I gave up. It is annoying to lose and have to restart all the time. If I have more time later I might try again. It is quite entertaining but can get frustrating.
  7. It has to be the prologue version. I saw those as the stats to the game earlier today when I looked at it at Best Buy. The true version is not out yet and I don't remember the release date but it is going to have much more than that. This was only supposed to last for people until the full game is available and also to act as somewhat of a preview for the game. Having played previous versions I can not wait for GT5 to come out but sadly I have to purchase a Playstation 3 first in order to play it.
  8. I found out that if you restart in safe mode there is another admin account that will show up. Unless the person put a password on that as well, you should be able to log in and change the password of the other one or even start up another one. I would try this first before reinstalling or anything to hopefully save you some time. For security reasons you might want to add a password to the safe mode account as well.
  9. I prefer Windows Live Messenger. It has a nice interface and there is much you can do with it to customize it and make it your own. It is really nice because it is hooked up to your email account as well and notifies you when you sign in how many emails you have that are new and also if you are signed on and receive a message it will notify you and even display who it is from. I also have AIM only because most of my friends use it and they do not use Windows Live but I do not really like the interface and do not use the email. I guess it was mostly because I chose MSN first being the true reason.
  10. It would be nice if they brought it out for the PC because I currently do not own an Xbox 360 or Playstation 3 and they do not make the games for the Playstation 2 anymore. The problem is when they bring console games out for the PC they are not usually compatible with many graphics cards because they do not really care much or make much money selling it for computers. I have not looked at the specs for any of the previous games or tried them on my computer but hopefully the new one will work for me.
  11. I have my computer on for hours at a time and use it throughout the day constantly whether it is for school work, video games, or working on my web site. I will admit it is much slower than XP and will slow down but not nearly as often as you describe. Sometimes it will freeze up at stupid times you would think it would not but it is not too often, at least not for me. Mine is a Gateway.
  12. I would rather not die but if I had to I would hope it would be fast and painless. In my sleep or shot in the head would be appreciated. The best situation would be for me to not know it is coming there so if I were to be shot I would rather have them do it randomly up from behind so I am not tortured. After seeing movies with painful deaths like being stabbed I would hope it would not end in a horrible way. It would be nice to die doing something I love too where I am having fun. There are many possible ways of death so I am not going to limit it to one.
  13. I have made a couple hundred dollars online doing surveys and filling out offers. The great thing about GPT sites is that they hold contests and you can win bonus money if you have the time to spend to win them. They can be time consuming and prove to make you nothing if you do not know the tricks to shorten time spent doing them and maximize the time you do have to fill them out. It is not the best path to take to making money online but is a nice bonus sometimes because you can do it when you are watching TV or something. If you have skills in web design or something though as well you could sell your services. There are lots of other ways as well I am sure.
  14. I rarely have any problems with windows vista. I have a Dual Core 1.66GHZ processor with 1 gigabyte of ram as well. It does run slow sometimes but not as slow as you speak of. It only takes a minute or so to shut down but I normally just put it to sleep anyway cause it is my laptop. I do not receive any error messages unless it is old software or I do not have a good enough graphics card for a game or something which has nothing to do with Vista. Only thing slowing me down sometimes is whether to allow or cancel whether I want a program to run which I think is nice in case a virus or malicious software wants to run that you don't know about.
  15. Seeing as it is free hosting in the first place I don't think there will be any return but admins are usually understanding in situations like this.
  16. Happy birthday to Spam! I wonder what the first ever spam message actually said and why in the world it was sent because I am sure not many people had computers back then. Kind of funny though just how much spam is spread today. I remember Spam when it was only twenty, it has grown so much since then. I think I am going to cry.
  17. This is a very nice modification to the board. In my absence I did not realize it was added until I came back and saw a symbol next to my name. Sadly for those who are generally disagreed with I think they might not be paid attention to or thought of as being as much as a contribution than the others just because of an "X" next to their name. Other than that I think it is a nice addition to the board. Good work.
  18. I would not be able to stand having an email address like this. I do not like typing in the one I have now and it is only speoj@msn.com I guess it is kind of cool to say you have the longest email address domain in the world but other than that it is pretty worthless in my point of view. Most places will not accept that address anyway so why even bother with using it.
  19. I do not believe that a dream could physically kill you, at least in the sense that I think you are discussing here. A dream for the most part is your senses at workand your brain while you sleep away. I see it as television while you sleep. I guess it might be considered killing you if you have a heart attack and die because of something you saw in your dream but any other method I would think would come indirectly. As others have said it might lead to a way ofyou being killed because of a way you acted upon the dream or something but other than those possibilities I do not see a way it could kill you.
  20. Sounds like my school, if too many people complain about a date or how busy they the date is moved back later. Of course this has to do with too many at once. Procrastination. It is nice of them though to change the date because for those who have dial up it must be a pain to have to wait three hours to get them to send and then it be late because of a slower internet speed.
  21. I recently heard a report on the news that everyone requires a different intake and that some people only need one glass of water a day and others need around five. The standard once said that you have to drink around eight glasses of water a day per day to be healthy but this seems to not be true. No one really ever drinks that much water unless they have made a habit out of it. There is a source of nutrients and water in so many other things you consume that it sometimes is not necessary to drink all that much. I pretty much drink soda for the day and very little water but I still live a relatively healthy life.
  22. The thing is it is no different than any other system. They stopped making windows 3.1 with windows 98 coming out and stopped windows 98 soon after windows 2000 and so on and so forth. It is also the same as video games. After the Xbox 360 game out they slowly stopped making games for the previous Xbox and the same goes for Playstation to Playstation 2 to 3. There is not much that can be done but to stick with what you have as long as you can or just move up like they want you to. It's all about money and always will be.
  23. Beta testing of Internet Explorer to me is not a good idea since there always seems to be problems. I will just wait until it all is fixed and ready to be downloaded or maybe I will not download it at all. I only have IE 7 now on this computer because it came with it as I still have IE 6 on my desktop computer. Looks like Microsoft has a bit of work to do.
  24. Well back as a freshman and sophomore in high school I did some landscaping for seven dollars and hour. I did this with my friend because his father owned the company but soon he moved on and because I couldn't drive I had to look for something else. Now a little over a year later as a junior I have spent some time applying for jobs now that I am finally 16 but I failed for a while until I ran into an old neighbor who is opening a pizza business. So now I will be working there which I am grateful for. Not sure what I will be making but I will be happy for anything because I am saving for a trip to Europe for school this summer.
  25. The thing is people know they are tailgating and they do not care for the most part they just want to either get around you or annoy you. They want to intimidate you until you go faster or start to brake check them showing you are annoyed. The light will not do much unless it is bright and will make them back off somehow like jlhaslip explained about his. There are some people who do not realize they are sometimes which it may help but for the most part I think it will not make much money.
