there is a website http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ bp where it shows the size of the oil spill compared to where you live. It really helps put the size of the problem in perspective. I'm quite surprised at how bad the response has been to this problem, particularly the US government. They seem so slow to react to anything, the same with katrina before.With so many scientists in the world you would think someone could come up with an idea to deal with this. Haven't people thought about this possibility before? we've been drilling from these offshore wells for a long time

I also have a DSi. I don't like that I can't play the GBA games because I never had one of those. What I want now though is the new bigger model as my hands are quite big.The games on it aren't that great to look at, but there are quite a few games that are really fun to play. I would like a PSP too if I had more money.

I don't like the way that people always point to things like marijuana and say that it is bad but then drugs from doctors are good. Things just aren't that easy to classify. for example:there are certain cultures which use mind altering substances in rituals that have significance to their religion or society, which are good uses for what those people would consider bad drugs.and then on the other hand, you have people who abuse prescription medication, there are kids in some places that have parties where they all bring whatever pills and things they can find and all share them, things like valium, ritalin etc which are legal but in that perspective, are being used in a bad wayPersonally, the two worst drugs that cause the most damage to peoples health and their lives are alcohol and tobacco. They cause more deaths than all the other drugs combined.Also, marijuana can have medicinal effects like pain relief and helping people get appetites when they are sick and going through other treatments, so to write them off as only for bad uses isn't the right thing to do

I've used lightspeed for about a year. like others have posted you aren't going to be able to quit your job on the money you make but if you have spare time during a break at work or something it is nice to make some extra money. Lightspeed make $5 deposits to your paypal account withing a couple of days of requesting the money. Some other sites I do surveys for send you gift vouchers which I just use for my groceries but paypal is more flexible with what you can use it for.

turbo, that's exactly what I was looking for. thanks.

Ages ago when I worked at this place I stumbled across a way to edit something in the registry on windows 2000 so that it would display the contents of another directory on the desktop along with the normal icons. I can't find how I did it, and if it is posssible to achieve this on windows xp. does anyone know how to do this, or any tools that will do the same thing?

rvalkass is right. most of the spam on forums is done by "spambots". the tactics he mentioned about verification questions when a user signs up will get rid of most of these, good moderators and admins should be able to deal with the rest without causing any disruption to your users.

let me try and translate for you: People say My game will be much better than your below average game.... once it is released Excuse me, how can you make such an assumption before it is released. It could be like another hyped game that failed to deliver. a sarcastic comment regarding the fact that most impressive games require the latest most expensive hardware to run properly. hope that cleared up what was being said. whilst I agree that it is stupid to try and claim anything is better than anything else until it is released, most games appeal to a certain group of people, so different people will like different games. It's stupid trying to compare most things, it would be like comparing apples and cheeseburgers.

The leader of the US will influence things all over the world, so it is important to everyone who becomes president. This is highlighted by what bush managed to do with pulling half the world into the wars in iraq and afghanistan. It is a shame that most of the people who end up voting in an election have no idea about politics, or the people they are voting for. Here in australia you are required by law to vote. And it means you get so many people who vote based on the propaganda ads on tv. In australia we had an election a while ago where the guy who won would literally say anything to anyone to get elected. He made so many promises, a lot of which he can't or hasn't lived up to.I think there should be some sort of IQ test before you can vote, or a check to see if you know anything about the people you are actually voting for. It would help to make sure the right people get elected for the job, instead of the most popular.

there is a time and a place for everything. when you are sending a text message on your phone or an instant message online I think its perfectly acceptable to shorten everything. when you are on a forum I would expect most words to be typed out correctly and in full. Maybe have a LOL at the end of a funny post or sentance. When writing an essay you should always use proper words.It is all linked to a dumbing down of society. If we travelled to the future, would we even understand people anymore? or would they be walking around going OMGROFLZORS!!!1111

i don't feel like punching my boss very often, all the managers where I work have no idea how to manage anything. However some of my co-workers make me want to punch them all the time

i also believe that the ps2 is still a good enough console. I'm in a similar position but with the xbox and 360. i have an original xbox and there are still plenty of games I haven't played. I'm not that fussed about updating to the next generation I just want to have fun. Like i've said in another thread, playing the original mario brothers games are still fun even though the graphics are so outdated.

the halo games were a lot of funmy favourites were the grand theft auto games

the ps3 has a few advantages, the blu ray capability is one, although I don't really care about things like that, but the cost of buying a ps3 is just too high.the wii is very fun to play, is cheap, may not have as much grunt under the hood, but that isn't what gaming is about. You can still go back and play classic games like the original mario games, and they are still as fun to play today as they were all those years ago. I believe any machine that has to rely on graphics is setting itself up to be unfulfilling, like when you see a big budget movie with all the special effects but a weak storyline or bad acting.

my first console was the nintendo 64 which i got with super mario 64 and goldeneyemy first handheld was the original gameboy which came with tetrisi've also owned a nintendo, and a super nintendo, a mega drive and a master system.I currently own a nintendo wii and an original xbox which i still play all the time.
