You're going to have to explain it a little better.Does the window appear for you to choose your logon?Eg when you start the machine does a windows page appear with various names (like "Administrator" "Guest" "Someone" etc...) and you have to click one to login? Or does it go straight to your desktop?It is possible to recover the password with a few select tools...

1) Hell yes. There is no debate here, they do, and will continue to, make money from violent games.2) yes (in the UK)3) There is a huge debate on this that goes into a 3 way argument. Some claim simply that it is a game and cant influence behaviour, at least among the mentally stable. One group says they are a bad influence, causing violence. Because the gamers get used to using violence to get their own way (EG being rewarded through points for killing or hurting another character) they can take that experience into real life and think it is ok, or even be emotionless towards violence against others. The reward thing goes back to psychology where the gamer is conditioned that killing/violence is good.The other school of thought is that it STOPS violent behaviour. Imagine an angry kid who hates everyone, would you rather he spent his time stabbing people on the street or shooting fictional characters in a game? Without an outlet for rage and violence it can build up leading to an explosive outburst in real life, but by playing violent games one can release the frustration in a safe and fun way.4) Yes i think so. Films to me are more likely to affect behaviour as you arent involved, you see the lead character, often a role model, getting into situations, be they violent or not, and often succeeding and getting rewards for their actions. So you want to be like them, and you can do that by copying their actions. Music is very similar, rappers singing about shooting people while they wear gold chains and have girls and fast cars, hence you can see violence as a way to success. But in a game YOU are the lead character, so you get to act out the actions in a safe way. In a film if you want to copy their actions you have to do it in real life. But in a game you can see the rewards for blowing things up and you can act out those actions in the game itself.

Download Ubuntu 9.10 ISO image. This is linux, it is an alternative operating system. Burn the image to a disc (you can download 7zip, and just treat it like a ZIP file, extract it to the CD) once burned put the disc in, reboot the machine and boot to the CD. Select your language and choose "Try Ubuntu without making any changes" Linux will load up. Once it is loaded you will see "Places" at the top, click that, then click "Computer" choose your hard drive which will be something like "160gb media" or however big your hard drive is. Try them all if you cant find it, you will know when you get the right one when you see the windows folders like "windows" "Program Files" "Documents and settings" etc.... Now just find the file(s) you want to copy over. If it's on your desktop it will be in "Documents and settings/YOUR USER NAME/Desktop/" You should now be able to copy them over without any problems at all.It's strange that you cant do it while on the winxp admin account. There are other ways im sure but this is the way i would do it.

Ok guys i need to make screensaver, something basic, the most important thing is to have scrolling text very similar to the windows 3D text one, only the message needs to be a lot longer, preferably multi line if possible. It would be really nice if i could also have a small image bouncing around at the same time. Does anyone know a software that can do this? For free, for use in an educational environment (eg no nag screens, works perfectly as a normal screensaver, no user intervention etc... and preferably not an EXE installer for the screesaver. Ideally it would make them in SCR format (or whatever format XP accepts these days as default) so we cna roll it out on the network (eg copy it down from a server to the workstation using a script with no user intervention)It's fairly urgent so if anyone has any clues let me know. Ive been looking all day but all i get are stupid "Use your own pictures as a slideshow" i can do that by default in windows.... -.-Random pathing would be very useful... But i can improvise.

I dont actually know the time it took for mine, it wasnt very long at all considering the licensing screen had been waiting for me to check in on it and continue. It idles at less than 1gb RAM with most of the features running (i turn off things like indexing to get top performance out of games) while Vista was idle at about 1.25+GBI can also multitask on it, something Vista had issues with, if i tried opening a folder and a browser at the same time it would take ages for both to open and run smoothly, Win7 handles it much better. It's a good compromise of the relative speed and stability of XP and the features of Vista, and i really like the "action center" collating all the notifications in one area rather than be bombarded with 10 notifications saying my AV was off when the PC had only just powered on -.-

Untrue, any machine you bought within the last 3-5 years (new) should run Win7 fine, thats virtually all XP machines still in use today. Also the upgrade time for me from Vista was probably less than 2hrs, and i sat downstairs so a few of the prompts went un-answered for some time before i went upstairs and noticed. All in all i like it a lot. And i usually hate MS... Though i have to admit XP and Win7 are very good operating systems. I have yet to use Win7 to its full capabilities but it runs games nice and smoothly, starts up reasonably and seems to be a lot more stable

Ok so while sitting the cinema waiting for "9" to begin we saw a trailer for the 4th kind. It promised to be a scare-fest based on alien abductions. The trailer showed various people screaming and one person levitating from their bed while a light shone through the window. Pretty creepy. We saw this film yesterday after, much to my dismay, the film begins and the main actress, Milla Jovovich, stands in a creepy forest and the camera spins around her as she explains that the director included *real* (this word is important) footage from past events, real audio and every dramatized scene in the film is based on real footage, or real testimonies. IT also says that some names have been changed or omitted. Once she is finished babbling we are shown some real footage (and it looks genuine) of some sort of televised interview with Dr Tyler (remember that name) in which Tyler speaks about her story a little and sure enough [Name omitted] comes up as the film falls silent, before picking up her boring life story. So the footage is real. Fair enough. Nothing strange about that. However... We are then shown the dramatized version of events involving Tyler, she is a psychologist, as was her husband, until she awoke in the middle of the night to see some tentacle type, knifey, spike drive through her husband and kill him. Terrified she seeks help in remembering who this "man" was (the attacker). Now, in her day job many people report seeing a white owl and having difficulty sleeping. This owl is in their room, outside, inside everywhere. I will skip the dull details of tense moments, creepy music and rainy skies (you know when something scary is going to happen, it rains. Its silly....) So, she gets closer to finding out whats going on with her patients and decides to hypnotize one to get at the memories of being woken in the night. She does. He gets absolutely terrified and more of that real footage comes back of the actual hypnosis in which this guy goes MENTAL scared out of his skin, screaming, trying to hide behind the sofa and smashing a lamp. He says there was no owl, he never saw an owl and it wasnt an owl at all, strange. He wakes up and Tyler (Milla Jovovich) asks what he saw. He said he saw nothing. We know its a lie, but why? Well later that night she gets woken by a phone call. This bloke (Tony, i think) is holding his family hostage and wants to talk to her. Its raining when she arrives (duh) and they talk on the phone and he is hysterical, telling her that he cant face to see it again, and she asks what, he wont tell her then you see this real footage of him shooting his wife and kids. Nice. Real smooth. It all ends, she is taken to the police station to explain his problems to the sheriff, sheriff August, inventive huh. He gets hi-rate accusing her of causing the shooting through the hypnosis. She goes home eventually and listens to a few tapes before sleeping. This repeats itself a couple of times with patients going to her about the owl and sleeping problems. It gets more interesting when a distraught patient asks to go under hypnosis. His wife watches as does a second psychologist. I forget his name. This guy goes under and does the same as the other bloke. He basically has a fit, talks about there being no owl at all (even though he was adamant about seeing it every night for weeks on end) and then eventually he gets woken and pukes up. Oh yes.. If you are eating, look away now. Another real smooth moment. So he goes home with his wife. Everyone says sorry to Tyler about the suicide shooting and she gives a tape to her secretary to transcribe. A little later the secretary bursts in petrified asking if Tyler has heard that tape. The tape in question was recorded earlier, we see Tyler in her room at night noting her thoughts. She goes to sleep. End of. Now, the secretary plays the tape to Tyler and the 2nd psychologist, low and behold tyler is speaking, the same things she said when we saw it. But then she screams, terrified of something, Tyler in the present is scared, confused. The tape screams various things like "dont take me" etc... all suggesting an abduction. Its pretty scary actually, but then hearing a woman with a blood curdling scream is scary anyway... You then hear metalic sounding voices, something like Transformers after a long night out and some bad translations on the screen mentioning various words like destruction, believe, etc... Scary stuff. She goes home that night, sleeping alone (because thats just what id do too....) and listens to the tape, she sees a mark on her shoulder and scratch marks on the floor. A few flashbacks show her being dragged along the floor digging her nails in. Creepy... She looks inter her husbands research and sees a book with a name written in it. A quick call and despite the voice on the phone it isnt a Nigerian lottery scam, but instead a researching of the Sumatran language and history. He flies in, as you would obviously. A discussion with Tyler and the other psychologist and the Sumatran guy reveals that the metalic voice on the tape is the Sumatran language, and that in Sumatra there are many tablets picturing rockets, and spacemen in suits with masks. How true this is i dont know. But Tyler accepts it, and you can tell she knows it is alien related.. Nome (the setting in alaska) is apparently under attack from aliens with probes. Tasty. The next morning or so, she gets a call from the patient she put under (not the dead one, that would just be weird!) he is in bed and needs to talk to her (ooh scandalous!) But no, he is terrified and says he needs to go under again. They setup a camera (the black sumatran researcher, Tyler and the other Psychologist) and she puts him under. She asks him what happened and he sits bolt upright moth wide open with a weird groaning sound, reminiscent of the Grudge, pretty scary. We then see REAL footage of this happening in real life. Some dodgy film of him doing the same thing but then in the dramatized film he floats off his bed...Surely they cant... This cant be.. What the.. But yes, the REAL film then goes to show us deteriorated footage of this happening in real life. Thats right folks i bring to you not only evidence of aliens but a man floating above his own bed. Oh yes... BUt the real footage is distorted now, almost as though a huge magnet was placed inside the camera, giving static, lines etc... before it all goes to static. Convenient.... This is where i start questioning it. Dont worry though, it all goes completely normal after that... Or not... Sherriff august comes to Tylers house as she is packing her bags to get the hell outta Nome. He says the guy that went under has severed spinal cord(s) (in fact he says 3 of his spinal nerves or something) and is paralysed. She protests her innocence as he reads out her right to remain silent. The second psychologist bursts in and says she is innocent and she gets put under house arrest with an officer outside. The office in his car outside turns on a camera, so we know there will be some more real footage coming up. No surprises, its night time, and actually it isnt raining. For once in the miserable tale of Nome meteorology it ISNT raining, thats enough amazement in itself and i start to question the films authenticity, i mean its *not* raining?! What next?! Aliens?! Well yes. The cop is woken, looks out at the sky with a puzzled look on his face, which soon turns to terror. A bright light is shining on the roof of the house, he starts screaming etc... Then the REAL footage, a little static-y but then there are aliens outside.... And the real cop on the real film starts saying over the radio with great difficulty disjointed phrases and words like "bodies floating out of the house, aliens, abduction and "you better get someone down here" thats the understatement of the century, i think "get EVERYONE here, FBI, army, police EVERYONE" while madly screaming wouldve been better, but i digress. The police arrive to see Tyler in her room hysterical that her daughter (who is a boring character, hence i never mentioned her, oh she has a son too, he never says anything) has been taken through the roof by aliens. Riiiiiiight... The police take her son away and leave. She now has to be hypnotized by her fellow psychologist to find out who, how and why as she cant remember anything (the aliens have obviously watched MIB and made a Neuralyzer... Duh, keep up) So the camera is set up, and back comes that REAL footage of the real Tyler going under. When asked a few questions she opens her mouth wide like an alien/horror flick actress always does and screams various phrases about being taken, give my baby back etc.......and that metalic voice comes back, which is semi-translated in subtitles on screen with phrases about the baby not coming back etc... destruction etc... and she asks who they are, the reply is "god" basically. She wakes up in hospital, neck collar on and a little roughed up. Sheriff August tells her that her husband (Will) shot himself, and shows her the picture of his head with a bullet hole. We go back to the real life interview thingy and she says that it was her way of accepting his death... But then the film ends with the main actors saying facts about Nome having 2000 FBI Official visits, the nearest comparison has 76 or something and the rate of missing persons and how the real life August, Tyler and other people declined all involvement in the film. Spooky stuff. However, a quick google search shows Tyler never existed according to the Nome council people and the Alaskan psychology association people, she was never registered in ANY profession, let alone being a Doctor!! The FBI never visited Nome that many times at all and it has a similar murder/suicide etc... rate to all the other towns in the Alaska. It also shows a picture of the real Nome which is about as flat as you can get, these are the people that thought the earth was flat, im telling ya, you couldnt make it any flatter than that. Yet in the film it is surrounded by mountains and trees. Nice. so basically its a fakery, now i dont mind that... But when im bombarded with messages about how real this footage is it just angers me!!! Overall it could be a good film, but the fake real footage ruins it for me. They shouldve stuck with the normal film format and it wouldve been a good scare. 6/10

Another good idea is to send out a small force to attack from say the left, wait for his army to respond in huge numbers and then run in with a massive force from the right. His troops will end up divided but you need a fairly big army to do it. If you can have a small group attack from the right, to lure him there, then a big force on the left and as as his men move to the left side of his base to fight you off have another big group on the right hiding and then send them in. He wont know where to send his troops It might not win you the game straight away but you can thin out the numbers of villages and destroy things like houses, farms and other strategic buildings.Whatever happens you cant afford to fight his troops head on. The casualties are too many and you wont have enough troops to survive the barrage of arrows from a castle or town centre long enough to destroy the building itself so you need to avoid his army as much as possible so you can get to the relatively undefended buildings. Battering rams are good for that Especially if you have a team of archers defending each one to take out melee attackers as the rams are strong against archer attacks so its not such an issue. But this only really applies to AOE2. I cant remember the siege weapons in 3

That depends on the BIOS and how much you want to keep There is always a way to recover ANY password, no matter where it is :(The first step is simply removing the BIOS battery, easy on a desktop PC, difficult on a laptop. If you have a BIOS password that you cant remember and you have a desktop PC then just open the case, and look on the motherboard for a small round, silver battery that looks like a 10p coin (uk) or a 10c/25c coin in the US, something about .75 inches accross. You will see a small latch on it somewhere, just release the latch (by pulling it away from the battery gently) and the battery should spring upwards at an angle, then remove it carefully and keep it to one side for 5-10 minutes. After that re-insert it the same way it came out, usually you will see that one side is completely flat with words/letters stamped on it and the other is layered, so you have a dark ring near the outside edge and a raised inner "disk". Keep the flat side up, and the raised side down. Insert it fully and power on the computer. The BIOS should now be password free. However, you will loose ALL BIOS settings, basically that battery powers the BIOS memory, without it the BIOS forgets all your settings and goes back to factory settings. So you may need to fiddle with it to get it back to how it was but at least you can get into the BIOS now!*WARNING* This shouldnt cause any damage at all, ive done it a few times with no adverse affects, but i take no responsibility if it goes horrible wrong and you burn the world down. (i might get that as a t-shirt...) Also remember to unplug the computer from the power socket and touch something metal first (a radiator is ideal!) just to take away any static electricity you might be carrying, giving a computer an electric shock is usually not good for the PC!

ah.... WHat gives that error? The ubuntu installer or simply when you try to enter the BIOS?If It is on the Ubuntu installer than you will need to enter the BIOS and fiddle with security settings (dont lock yourself out!! Just remove passwords, dont add them!) or the boot settings. IF the BIOS gives that error then you need to find out your BIOS password.

IF vista is encrypting it then that could be your problem, you weill have to boot vista and go into security settings and disable that. If not then tell us what file/area it cant read and someone might be able to help.

Too true.... If you arent worried about keeping vista then you can wipe the hard drive... But first, what file/area does it say is unreadable? And do you have Vista set to encrypt the hard drive?

But there *are* massless particles out there, on the sub-atomic scale we have things like WIMPS, trillions of these things pass right through the atmosphere, you, me, a bus and the entire earth, the solid metal core and out the other side without anyone ever noticing. We can get a rare glimpse of an interaction in a few places on earth using heavy water and very sensitive light sensors but on the whole they could literally pass through a trillion light years of solid lead, without even noticing it was there.Thus they must be massless, or very nearly so. Even Photons are affected by gravity via gravitational lensing so technically they must have mass, no matter how small, otherwise gravity would have no effect, for gravity needs a mass to act on.Also in a perfect, true vacuum (which is not what space is) there would be no friction from anything. And if we hypothetically pus this perfect vacuum in one of the great voids in space and hypothetically say there is not a single unit of gravity, then there is no force, other than inertia, to oppose the acceleration of the item to faster than light speed.I think the main obstacle here is a method of travel that doesnt rely on propulsion.

Exactly, ive already said how time travel IS possible, and it IS happening right now! Every day, if you didnt read my post (admittedly its a long one, i probably wouldve skipped it) then read it, it explains how time travel is happening right now to GPS satellites. So it IS possible, there is so no "not true" option here, its like saying the sun isnt bright. It is, we know it is. And we know time travel is possible. We do it every day. What we cant do however, is control it, we cant say "i want to go back in time to 1972 and smack a pony" we cant do that. We can however make time travel *slooooooooower* so its not strictly time *travel* but time manipulation which is a small step to time travel. (Think wright brothers, they took a fan (Air manipulation) and turned it into a propeller (Air Travel)) so perhaps one day... Science says it is possible, every theory that exists says it can happen. In theory i suppose electrons time travel as they can appear in more than one place at the same time (another scientific fact... Perhaps electrons arent bound by time so hence they can everywhere and yet no-where, like me going back in time to see myself in the past. Id be in two places at once. This is all science fact not fiction or theory, the only fiction, or theory is IF we can ever control it like in a time machine. RE: The "travel faster than light and wave goodbye to yourself" theory... It goes like this, you get on a super plane, and fly around the earth landing in the same spot you took off from faster than the speed of light. When you land you see yourself getting on the plane and wave goodbye to yourself. This would work because the light that bounces off your body travels in all directions, lets say you land 10m back from where you take off. So the light from your body needs to travel 10m to the place where you will land. But you travel so fast that you make it to this point before the light does, so you can stand there and the light finally reaches your eye and you see yourself, in the past, boarding the plane. But, this is only light... Because you, and the plane you got on, are right where you are now, 10m back from where you see the plane and you in the past. So the plane is no longer there, all you are seeing is the light. If you threw a rock at it the rock wouldnt hit the plane at all. The plane is behind you!!! ITs a bit complicated but it does make sense. I dont personally think this is time travel at all, because technically you arent in the past/future, you are just seeing the past. It's the same way that stars and galaxies work. Let's say there is a star 10 lightyears away that is exploding. The explosion will only last 1 year. It explodes in 2000, but on earth it takes the light from the star 10 years to reach us, so we *see* the explosion in 2010. Let's say that in 2005, we sent a spaceship at twice the speed of light and it arrives at the star in 2010. Scientists in 2010 see the explosion and ask the spaceship to look at the star (pretend we can communicate instantly with it) but the star isnt there anymore! The spaceship looks but its just not there! The scientists on earth can still see the huge explosion, and the spaceship should be right on top of it. All the positioning systems work fine but the spaceship cant see any star. Thats because the star exploded 10 years go, the explosion lasted a year and finished 9 years ago, but the light is only just reaching the earth. It's the same principal as the plane around the world trip, the plane isnt there now but the light is.

No. Please dont use "u". It is spelt "you" using "u" will A) Get you ignored and not get you many credits at all. Like the above quote says, there is no such thing as an MP5 file, so an mp5 player is just an mp3/4 player with the word "mp5" printed on it so that people think it is something special. It's not.

Certainly....Vista is like a bulldozer sitting on your PC, it will idle at over 1gb of RAM even if you dont touch the keyboard and mouse. It is very insecure and laggy/buggy and not to mention expensive!I too recommend Ubuntu, i run it on my machines at home and my brother, who is a complete anti-nerd recently was running XP on his laptop, he got the dreaded blue screen of death and his windows install was corrupt. In goes the Ubuntu installation DVD and within 40 minutes (yes, its extremely fast to install) he was up and running with Ubuntu and happy. I wont pretend that linux is 100% perfect, its not. But its good. You might get some issues with strange hardware but in all honestly installing windows is a nightmare when it comes to drivers, Ubuntu has 99.999% of hardware covered (not an official figure, my estimate ) but windows is silly, i frequently get 5 or 6 unkown devices with XP installs at which point i have to actually use an Ubuntu live CD to access the network (the network, USB and card readers dont work in Xp...) to download drivers!!The Simpleton touched on Ubuntu Live... If you download the Ubuntu ISO image, and burn it to a DVD/CD (you can even do this with 7zip which is a free download, just extract and copy/paste to the CD/DVD) you will have both an installer disk and a live disc. Doing this will NOT change anything on your PC, you are NOT installing Ubuntu here and it will NOT damage Vista in anyway. But i dont take any responsibility if it does of course :(Basically, put the DVD in the DVD drive (or CD, but i will say DVD from now on but if you use a CD then just do the same) and reboot the machine. When the machine starts up it will usually ask you to hit the keyboard to boot from the CD, do that.Linux will now load up the CD menu. When shown select the "Try Ubuntu without making any changes" option and hit enter. Select your language too... I cant remember if thats before or after the above step...Now ubuntu will load up linux for you. It will take some time because all the data needs to be loaded from the CD which is slower than a hard drive, and put into RAM. If you choose to install Ubuntu it will generally load up just a little faster than Vista/XP does on your machine. Once it is loaded you will see the desktop, and the two "task bars" top and bottom. It works very much like windows on the face of it. Your "all programs" menu is now "Applications" at the top left, then you have Places which is sorta like a "my Computer" menu ("Home" is "My Documents") and then the "System" menu is like "Control panel" but in a menu. it has all the settings basically. If you use a wire to connect to the internet you should already be connected. If you use a modem though you will need to manually enter the details somewhere... Im not 100% sure where as i use wireless by try System>Administration>Network Connections (i think) if you use wireless you will need to select the network to use and enter the password. The clock and the icon tray from windows is in the top right hand corner and thats where the network indicators will be.You can browse the web using firefox and you will have plenty of programs pre-installed to play with under "Applications" if you want to try out new programs go to Applications>Add/Remove (or in ubuntu 9.10: Applications>Software Center) and just type in something like "msn" if you want an msn client, "Aim" etc... Or if you want say...... a 3d drawing program just type in the search box "3d design" or "3d draw" and you will see loads of programs to install for free, safely. Just tick the box next to them and click apply. If you are asked for a password at any point it will likely be "root" or "password".And that's it really. If you decide to install it i strongly suggest you follow an easy to understand online tutorial as doing it wrongly could damage your Vista operating system. This is assuming you want to run both, if you do then you get an option when you turn the machine on of which System to start. If you only want Ubuntu then it doesnt matter as you can just delete Vista.

Nut the theory that light speed is unbeatable is flawed because no-one has tried!Its like saying that a Ferrari is the fastest car in the world, and because its the fastest car we know no car, or plane, or bike or bullet can ever travel faster. Its simply not true!I have a theory that if a spaceship were to travel at 1mph slower than the speed of light and i walked from one end to the other i would be travelling faster than light, because i am at (lightspeed-1mph)+(walking speed) where walking speed is about 3-5mph. In theory no spaceship can travel faster than light, because to propel a spaceship we currently have to shoot matter out the back (rocket engine, Ion thrusters or even jets of gas for minor movements) so the fastest thing we can shoot out the back is light itself, and because every action has an equal and opposite reaction the light gets thrust outwards at light speed hence the spaceship MUST be thrust forward at light speed, but only at the SAME speed as the light coming out the back (so if i were to send a jet of gas at 200mph out the back of my rocket, the rocket can only travel 200mph or slower, no faster) so unless we find a way to make light travel faster a propulsion system like this will indeed limit us to light speed. However, if we were to create a warp engine/drive (which is possible given current scientific theories) we could travel faster than light. This works by making a vacuum in timespace in front of the ship and a bulge behind. Imagine the spaceship is a cork in a champagne bottle. When we shake the bottle the pressure behind the cork increases, this is the bulge behind our spaceship when the warp drives are switched on. Now imagine attaching a vacuum cleaner to the neck of the bottle, trying to suck the cork out. This is our vacuum in timespace in front of our spaceship. So you have a massive bulge of "pressure" behind the ship and a massive timespace vacuum in front of it. So the ship gets pushed from behind and pulled from infront. This involves warping the fabric of space which i find a ridiculous idea but many theories suggest that gravity itself manages to do this (imagine a heavy lead ball placed on a cotton sheet suspended by ropes. The ball warps the fabric making a depression). So in theory that will make us speed faster than light!

Congratulations May you all live happy, healthy lives :(Now you can show her the world and the things within.

So when you insert it or try to access documents you get a "Please enter your password" type message?Try googling the name on the front of the card and "password removal" eg: "sandisk micro SD password removal"

it IS possible. We have already done it.... Now, i say that but in reality of course no-one has gone back in time... However, GPS satellites, i think there are 24 in space, orbiting us right now, they *are* time travelling. Let me explain... Time, and space have a link somewhere, and somehow. We dont understand it but we know it is there. Many theories suggest that time travel might be possible if we could travel faster than light, because as you travel faster time slows down (how, i have no idea... but more on this later) so in theory at the speed of light time does not exist. You could travel at the speed of light around the earth for a week, and yet when you slowed down and stopped nothing will have changed, it will still be the same time and date that you left (minus the time it takes to speed up to light speed and slow down to a stop of course, for time only stands still AT light speed, not slower). Now, i said we have already done it... Those GPS satellites are travelling very fast, even though i think they are geo-stationary (eg if one was above you it would never seem to move, it always stays above one place on the planet) they are still moving through space fast, in the same way that if you spin a disk with lines on it the lines on the outed edge move faster than those on the inside (imagine the hole on a CD is the earth and the outer edge of the CD is the path of the satellites, when you spin that disc the inner hole/earth spins slowly while the outer edge/satellites spin very fast, even though they stay in line with each other) Anyway..... The satellites have clocks on them, atomic clocks that are EXTREMELY accurate, because GPS sends a time signal from your device, to the satellites, the satellite responds straight away with its own timestamp and your device calculates the difference and then calculates the distance travelled, hence how far you are from the satellites. Now, the weird thing is this. Those clocks on the satellites, which are extremely accurate (probably something like loosing one millisecond every thousand years (thats one second every million years...) always go out of sync, always. The people that own the satellites constantly have to send up sync data to reset the clocks according to atomic clocks on earth. And not just one satellite, ALL of them, with the same time difference (lets say one millisecond (= 1ms)) why?! Because they are time travelling. Because they are going so fast time itself slows down for them. So they are actually 1ms in the past (and lets say that happens every day, which it might not) then in about 3 years time those satellites will be one second younger than the earth, hard to understand i know.... Lets take it to the extreme... Me and my twin split up, one of us stays on earth but the other is lucky enough to win a trip in a spaceship around the earth orbit. So off he goes on the space ship at 7am 1st january 2000. I wave goodbye, he will be gone for a year. One year later i wait at the landing strip and he lands at exactly 7am 1st january 2001. EXACTLY one year after he left. I am of course a year younger, and wiser. And so is everything on earth. Yet he is only 8 months older. He has managed to stay 2 months younger than me. If he had a clock and a calendar, and every 24hrs he ticked off one day he would still only have counted 8 months. If he was actually pregnant (lets say we are both women now...) and one year had passed here on earth she would only have passed 8 months so the baby would still be unborn, she would have another month to wait on earth to give birth after 9 months. Its not just clocks TIME itself is slower when you go fast. ITs a scientific fact and not a theory or a conspiracy or a secret project. Its a well known scientific fact and the GPS evidence is real, again its not an example, it really does happen every day! From wikipedia: Special and general relativity According to the theory of relativity, due to their constant movement and height relative to the Earth-centered, non-rotating approximately inertial reference frame, the clocks on the satellites are affected by their speed. Special relativity predicts that atomic clocks moving at GPS orbital speeds will tick more slowly than stationary ground clocks by about 7.2 μs per day. For the GPS satellites, general relativity predicts that the atomic clocks at GPS orbital altitudes will tick more rapidly, by about 45.9 μs per day, because they have a higher gravitational potential than atomic clocks on Earth's surface. When combined, the discrepancy is about 38 microseconds per day; a difference of 4.465 parts in 1010. To account for this discrepancy, the frequency standard on board each satellite is given a rate offset prior to launch, making it run slightly slower than the desired frequency on Earth; specifically, at 10.22999999543 MHz instead of 10.23 MHz. Since the atomic clocks on board the GPS satellites are precisely tuned, it makes the system a practical engineering application of the scientific theory of relativity in a real-world environment. Placing atomic clocks on artificial satellites to test Einstein's general theory was proposed by Friedwardt Winterberg in 1955. [edit]

Define "Password locked" and "memory card" does it actually ask for a password? Or does it just say access denied, or you dont have privileges etc?And what kind of card is it? usb stick/drive? OR a camera card like SD, Micro SD etc...?

Aye, if you do use a premade template or content management system then use the addon modules for these things, they will work a lot better. But if it is a custom made site then you can use PHP for the backend operation (EG working out what day of the year it is, working out what month it is and how many days are in this month etc....) but you will still need to use Javascript, java or flash to actually display the calenda as HTML is too static, it cant update on its own so if a user wanted to see the next month they couldnt, it'd also be very difficult (well, i lie, you could use CSS and some sneaky PHP string manipulation) to get Today to be highlighted like with a different border around the cell.ITs possible to just use HTML and PHP but it wont look that great.

If you know how to change the time manually just make sure your timezone is set and try disabling the auto sync option, then set it manually and see if it goes again, it shouldnt.If the BIOS battery was dying on you then the time would reset to something like 01 Jan 2005 (depending when your motherboard/BIOS was made) It wouldnt reset to a random time, you might also loose config settings like Soviet Rathe said, so change a setting or two in BIOS (or make a note of the settings as they are now, and if you notice the clock is changed check the BIOS again and see if you have lost settings, if you have then the BIOS is at fault. But i've never heard of BIOS batteries dying to be honest, within the lifetime of an average computer it doesnt usually happen, ive been working on a machine with a Windows 98 sticker and a 900Mhz CPU so thats probably at least 9-10 years old but the BIOS is still going.

well if you are on an enclosed forest type match (my favourite) identify the two main "strangle points" where the terrain comes together forming a natural wall, and fill in the gaps with 2 or 3 layers of walls, gates and towers and eventually castles.If you are on an open map then you need to react to how your enemies play, if they are attackers constantly attacking you then i would recommend building a large army ASAP but keep most of them around your town centre, send out a few soldiers, enough to repel his forces every time he attacks. He will progressively send more and more troops each time, the trick is to keep building up this huge army in secret, so when he sends a reasonable force of soldiers and you send out a small amount of your huge army to kill them all you can then send in every soldier you have (making sure to keep training more to defend) and kill as many villages as you can. Target the civilians first, they generate resources and target the most expensive buildings too, You probably wont kill him in this attack, but he will retaliate with a big force, so be ready for them when he does, but while your troops are alive just keep focussing on individual buildings, i like a HUGE archer section, 100+ if possible just archers, a single right click on any unit will destroy it straight away, with the exception of upgraded rams, and it takes seconds to destroy low level buildings, the only units that can damage your group are rangers, so as long as you kill melee fighters as soon as you see them you are very hard to take out. If he has Onagers make sure to spread your guys out :DYou could try luring his guys into the third guy's army too, send in 10 or so mounted units, run around his base and then lead his attacking troops right into player 3's base, they will probably get caught up in battle, you can run your troops to safety (Not your base, they will be followed) and then attack the first guy's base while him and play 3 fight it out

You will need to use Javascript, flash, or java. so try a pre-made one if you arent familiar with those languages. google "free javascript calendar" and you should find a few.
