i've ran a scan using ad-aware se personal. it didn't detect anything so i was thinking maybe the computer was fine. i had my brother use the pc afterwards and told him that if the same warning pops up, he should tell me. for a moment i thought it was the firefox browser because when my brother connected to the internet, he didn't get the warning at all because he was using internet explorer. but now i'm using ie, it still pops up.so yeah, i'll check on that link now. and thanks for the help. i'll update you about the progress later.

i've uploaded these images for you to see. these warnings keep popping up on my window whenever i'm surfing the net. i've observed that it pops up everytime a website/webpage sucessfully loads. i dunno if it's a virus or an adware or something. the messages don't seem to make any point, but just as the same i've tried scanning my pc for viruses but it didn't find anything on my pc. <br><br> these are just some of the messages that keep popping up. but they contain almost all of the same messages, except for the website that it wants me to check out. grr... i'll be doing another scan again so i'll check in a few.

i got lost there for a moment. there were some parts that i could understand what you're trying to point out. but then again, maybe it's just me or something.i don't really know if trap has made a significant impact on me (don't get me wrong, i didn't mean that in a derogative way), since i communicate here in the way i communicate with other people using english as language. and as a person giving respect to others, i try to follow rules that encourages people to respect those whom they are talking to, especially in forums such as these, because sometimes, people take the internet for granted. you could just mask yourself by using a nickname/codename and bash people and put threats even though some are just for fun. but just as the same, i could use trap as a vent, or try to answer some posts that i think would be fun or interesting, try to give some friendly advice to those who need them, and ask people for some advice, if i ever need one.

my phone is kinda prehistoric but i can use songs as my ringtone. i currently have "everybody's changing" by keane and haven't changed it since. i also composed vanessa carlton's "a thousand miles" in my phone and use it as another ringtone. kinda cool, but i don't want to remove it because i've spent some time composing it, even though the song is a bit old as well.

is it really that amazing? i mean i haven't read any of the books and i've only watched parts of some of the movies, but it really didn't get my attention. i tried hard, but i just can't. i dunno why. magic and fiction are some of the concepts that i like, but i dunno why this one really didn't make me interested at all.

Looking To Host Music .mp3 File how do i do this?
master_bacarra replied to garbage's topic in Websites and Web Designing
there's a player that you can use. it's called radio blog. you can convert the mp3's to rbs, a file that the player recognizes. converting the file minimizes the size (thus saving space). it compromises the quality of the music that you're playing, but it's a player none the less. it's as if you're listening to the radio... without the static of course. but for me it's totally fine, at least i could use a decent player for my website. oh, one more thing. some knowledge of php would be helpful for you to understand the application, but it's not necessary. besides, they have included a short instruction on how you should use the application. if you want to see how it looks like. check my blog, ai music section. check it out and see for yourself. just a note though, some of the posts contains our language, so you might not understand... but then again, that's not what you came there for, right? anyway, if you think you find the player interesting, you could go to the official website and download the most recent version. radio.blog.club website. ps. i'm not a part of the team that created the application, nor am i friends or associated with any of them. i just thought that this may help garbage in his problem. -
she's young for a teacher. but what the heck anyway. most of the professors in our university are just fresh grads and are just taking their masters. and they're teaching already.i think it's just normal for you to feel that way. i've been there and i think i've went as far as... uh, nevermind. i don't want to get banned. just don't take it too far. i think you should know your borderline because of the fact that you're the student and she's your teacher, and it has to stay that way. you could be friends with her, but i don't think you should go that far.

i know how to swim, but it has been a long time since i've been to a pool or the sea. jeez. and to think i'm on vacation, yet i haven't been in contact with a huge mass of water, except for my shower.

i don't think you should call yourself lucky for not having something to do in school. might as well call it a waste of time if there's really nothing to do around. just stay home.you're probably just young. wait til you get to higher years, high school or college. it's going to crack your head and split it in half.

i think it's the former. but i think any will do. i need a lot of images so i could pick something that i could use.

does anyone have an idea where i can find vintage ads for free? i'm having a hard time searching for those that are free, i only see those that are being sold. or if not, do you know how to make an image look more like vintage using image editors like photoshop or gimp. i'm using vintage as my theme for my layout and i'm kinda scrambling because i have to finish it soon.

Bittorrent Client What is your favorite BT client?
master_bacarra replied to snlildude87's topic in Software
i use uTorrent. i find its interface very user-friendly. my classmate adviced me to use it and i think i'm contented with it. i have tried bittornado before but back then i had no idea what torrents were so i just threw the client away and just downloaded files using bearshare. after a few months, my computer got so many virus because of the spyware that came with downloading via bearshare. i've fixed the pc and now i'm using torrents to download files. what kind of files? mostly songs. i've never tried downloading videos because i only have dial-up connection and i would be waiting light years before i can watch that video. -
it's a cold hard fact that she chose someone else. and you have to face that fact and accept it like a man. some people wouldn't want to go down without a fight but sometimes, it's not really a good thing to be messing up with someone who's already committed.give yourselves some space. it would give you some time to think about the situation you're in. trust me, it helps a lot. sometimes, it's good to really let the mind do the thinking. if she keeps on coming back into your memories, try diverting your attention to more important stuff, like let's say your studies. some of the guys i know that went through the same stuff that you did used a different method. they just let their angst out by playing video games.if i were in your shoes, i'll be happy that we are still able to talk to each other, even if it's less than the usual. although, it's preferrable for you to stay away from her, it's not bad if you constantly keep in touch for some time. it would actually help in lessening the blow of that "longingness" you feel when she's not around. and by talking to her, you gain back her trust and you form a different kind of relationship with her. people say that friendship is the best way to start a relationship (better than courting, i might add), and it brings a stable structure if you want your relationship to be strong and stay long. you see, if you become her friend, she would feel comfortable being around you, and you could be around her more. and as a friend, you could be the one shoulder she could cry on. i know it may sound hard, but if you love her, sacrifices should be made. and who knows, one day your patience will be rewarded.

well, it's weird for an older person to not act so maturely, especially if it's your mother... but i get her point. i would probably have hard feelings for a friend for not being there anymore. but she has to know that if she kept on with this, she'll probably lose her friend forever than gain her back along with new friends.like what the other posts have said, talk to your mother. tell her that it affects you more (if not the same) than it affects her. she needs to lower her pride and not be judgemental of those that she thinks who are stealing her friend. she would gain more friends if she keeps a healthy relationship with those around her. and you should be the one to support her on that. don't tell her that she's stubborn (it'll only make things worst than it already is). just be sympathetic and tell her you understand, but at the same time you should point to her that what she is doing might affect you or her and her relationship with other people.i hope you get my point and i hope i'm not going on circles here.

it's not advisable to hit/spank kids as a form of teaching them a lesson. nor will battering them with hurtful words. i've read before that you should be careful on the way you treat kids and the way you teach them lessons. in our country, most parents use lies to scare their children so they could behave properly. and what's worse is that these lies can be made to truths to these kids' minds. although some of them aren't that harmful, most could have an effect as worst as kids discriminating other people (of lower status) or turning into racists.

my sleeping hours usually depend on what time of the year it is. it's vacation right now so i can sleep more than 8 hours a day. it's a huge difference compared to when i have classes. it goes down to 4-6 hours if i don't have any assignments and it goes even lower when i have stacks of projects to do. sometimes i don't really sleep at all. i've experienced not sleeping 4 days in a row and then i ended up almost fainting at the end of the week. it's not a good thing because my mind usually don't function well if i do such suicidal things. and on the usual case, i end up having upset stomach due to staying late at night, something that they say usually ends up as ulcer. it sucks because even if you have eaten something, you feel like your stomach doesn't like it or something.i wonder how much sleep i would get once i get to work...

I Killed A Living Creature... well... almost...
master_bacarra replied to master_bacarra's topic in General Discussion
yeah i guess so. i've thought about it so many times yesterday. i still do feel guilty and responsible about it but it's a relief that it didn't really die. i saw it earlier today and i was amazed that it can walk more properly now, although i'm still worried because it hasn't eaten anything yet since yesterday. i tried giving it milk using my finger (so it can lick it), it licked some then turned away. i guess it was still afraid of people. now what i'm worried about is that people at home might kick it (intentionally or not).but anyways, i'm still relieved to see some improvements on the kitten's movements. at least it would take a bit of the guilt out of me. -
i dunno if this would be as relevant as the rules had said (i obviously read the rules before i posted this one), let's just say that it has something to do with animal rights... and me having the guilt trip of my life... i'm so bad...early this morning i got a total shocker of my life. i accidentally stepped on one of the stray kittens that were living in our house. it was sleeping on the front porch but i didn't notice that it was there, until i stepped on its head. it felt like a small rubber ball... then my foot slipped only to realize that the "small ball" was the kitten's head and then i realized that i just twisted its neck. it was a horrifying thing to see. it was twitching and gasping for air. ugh... the only thing that i can do was to watch it die slowly. i feel like i'm a very bad person to do such a thing to a poor kitten. even though it was just an accident, it really made me feel terrible.after i have gotten over my panic attack, i was ready to give its proper burial. i was about to carry it to our backyard when i realized that it was still breathing. i was kinda relieved, but still shocked. it lifted its head up as if it just woke up and looked around. probably terrified, it tried to walked away from me. what happened after really made me tear up. it was trying to walk towards our garden, but to no avail... it only ended up dragging its body. i guess when his neck was twisted, the nerves on the lower part of the body got affected. i do admit that i was so affected that i wanted to cry then and there but i gathered myself and just helped the poor kitten on a shady place in the garden. it tried to crawl a bit and rested there for the rest of the day.i watched it all day, hoping that it wouldn't die or something. i was checking to see if it was still breathing. it had to stay put and rest so i just put it in a box and let him sleep there. i was kinda disappointed with the mother because it didn't show any affection to its almost-dying offspring. later that day i was more relieved to see some improvements on the kitten. it can now walk a bit, but it still couldn't stand properly or maintain its balance while walking. i tried to support it because it might fall on a hole but i guess it was still too afraid. i noticed that when i put my hand near, it just stays there and does not move at all.right now it's hiding somewhere no one can touch it, but i guess i just have to trust that it won't die on me. i'll be devastated. but then again, just seeing the kitten suffering makes me more devastated. the cats (including the kittens) are not ours, they're just stray cats. but because of the leftover food that our dog doesn't eat, they found a safe place in our house. yet it wasn't safe, because my parents hated cats. i don't hate cats at all. i don't like them but i don't hate them either. i guess you could just say i have a soft spot when it comes to animals. when the kittens were born, i was excited that i could play with them (for an old guy, yeah, i play with the cats). my parents don't want me to go near them because they fear that i might have asthma attacks, but it was just their fear. i don't have asthma at all... and if that's the case, then we shouldn't have dogs in the house either. so, touch?...so what does this have anything to do with animal rights? i guess its the shelter. my mom always drives these cats away because she thinks they're dirty and hard to deal with. she kicks them or hits them with a stick just to drive them away. i guess i can understand her in a way that our house is not a shelter for stray animals, but the only thing that bothers me is the way they have to drive away these creatures. yeah i admit that they can be annoying sometimes (especially the sound they make at night), but then again it's just the way they are.

Contact Lenses Or Glasses? Which do you prefer?
master_bacarra replied to shigajet's topic in Health & Fitness
i'm currently wearing glasses but i also have a pair of contact lenses in my room. i only wear contact lenses when i have something important to do or somewhere that i need to go to. i guess you could call me someone who is conscious on how i look. actually now that i've said it, i can remember telling my parents that i wanted contact lenses because i was somehow conscious on how people look at me. i've been wearing glasses since my first year in high school and i've broken a few glasses along the way. i guess i was just tired of wearing them, and i sometimes i really don't like how the glasses sit on my nose. there are times that it's more of distracting than helpful.when i use contact lenses, i just make sure i wear it before i take a bath whenever i am going to school. i guess i'm quite messy when it comes to wearing it. i'm getting a hang of it now but since it's vacation, i'm not wearing it yet. i'm thinking of buying monthly contact lenses because my friend told me it's more practical and you're sure you're putting on a clean pair every month, compared to those of extended wear. i'm also thinking of buying colored ones (i guess it's part of the narcissism... hehe just kidding). but my parents don't want to buy me new ones because they are against me wearing contact lenses in the first place (i bought the pair using my own money). the only problem that i have with wearing contact lenses is that i can't wear them on the day that i have to stay awake 24 hours (due to projects and assignments in school), because it sometimes makes my eyes really tired. i can't make my eyes tired especially if i have to do something.of course there are pros and cons of wearing contact lenses and glasses. if you're tired of wearing glasses and somehow conscious of how you look, i guess you could buy a pair of contact lenses. try a monthly disposable first, so you could experience the feeling of wearing them. it could take some time and effort since you have to clean it everyday after you use it, but there's a feeling of contentment if wearing them is really what you want. but if you're not that kind of person (can't be patient enough to clean the lenses), i guess contact lenses are not for you. now if you have the money, you could just eliminate the root of the problem and have your eyes repaired by laser. -
What Is A Blob (mysql) and how do i use it
master_bacarra replied to master_bacarra's topic in Software
so i could use TEXT instead of BLOB in storing the comments? if so, how long is the maximum length for a TEXT in the free hosting accounts? and if ever i am to use a BLOB, how can i convert it to a non-binary form using php and vice versa? -
hey everyone! i just started using mysql so i could integrate it on my site. i'm trying to create a comment section and store the data on mysql. i've defined my table having a field type of varchar with max value 5000. but when i created it on phpmyadmin on my free hosting account, it said that the maximum value for a varchar is just 255. it said that i should use a blob. what is it and how can i access the data using php? i've searched from the net and it said that blob is used for images and document data. and i also found out that the data stored in a blob is a byte... so if i can use blob, how can i convert a text/string to a blob and vice versa. hmm... i'm confused...oh make that binary, not byte. sorry.

Your Favorite Type Of Music whats your favorite?
master_bacarra replied to shamamster's topic in General Discussion
i like a bit of pop and rock. i like alternative too. but usually, when i hear a good song written by an artist, i usually try to listen to most of the artist's songs and see if i like it. although i like rock, there are certain types of rock that i really can't appreciate. i'm not into those metallic rock, with all the screaming and all.. makes me shiver.my current playlist include dishwalla, liz phair, gavin degraw(i totally love the voice), and rooster. -
oh.. ok. unfortunately, because i can't find the original copy of our xp, it feels as if our copy is not legit. if i'm not mistaken, we got a new hard disk and my older brother took it to a computer shop, to have it attached and setup on our cpu. i don't know if the hard disk already has xp on it (which i doubt, since it's new). hmm... i guess that would make our xp not legit, right? well, i guess i have to make a long distance. too bad there's no customer service here in manila so i don't have to bother adding up something on our phone bill. bleh. just as the same. thanks for the advice. i just hope i could fix this soon. i've had too many problems with this computer in just one month.

i'm still sober from the ending of the semester and me failing some of my subjects, but here i am still being battered with so many problems, especially now that the windows xp home installed in my pc has been deactivated after we have replaced the motherboard. how bad can my life get?the warning of our windows being deactivated started last week when my older brother replaced the motherboard with a new one after the old one got burnt because it couldn't handle being ON for like 12 hours. i was still able to use it for three days and now it has been deactivated. i've read from some sites that certain changes from the pc hardware could change the pc's settings and somehow could affect the operating system. we don't have the product key of this pc because it was second hand when we bought it (and the original owners are probably miles away already--probably migrated or something--after selling to us this computer, since they wanted to clean some stuff from their house). we don't even know if the windows installed here is original. the activation window keeps popping up (since the os has been deactivated already) and tells that our product key is unauthorized. this probably gives me the hint that the os that was installed in the pc is a crack or an installation that has been used in many different pc's other than this one. when i tried accessing the net for the error, it said that i have to contact the customer representative in order for me to get my new product key. but the problem arises here. the fact that i'm 85% sure that this installation of windows xp home has been used many times, makes me worried that if i call the customer service representative, they would find out that it's not a valid copy and that they would ask me to buy a new authorized version of windows (like what my dad was telling me before), not to mention having to make a long distance call to singapore (the closest, because i'm in the philippines). how do they know that a windows installation is authorized or something? i mean, if the only problem of my computer was hardware change, why do they have to give us a new authorized version, given that we only need to re-activate our copy of the windows?i seriously need your help here. my older brother (the one who changed the motherboard) is being ignorant and doesn't want to help me with this problem just because he has a new laptop already (well, sort of... it's second hand as well). i would appreciate you replying to this message, but you could also send your reply as a private message (although i don't think some of you would want that). but anyway, please help me... i'm starting to think maybe my course wasn't really meant for me...
