Columbine in Colorado? I'm really freaked out about school shootings here in Colorado ever since Columbine happened, and now a school shooting in Minnesota? This has got to stop. Though I may be creeped out, I don't have to worry about it since I home school, but still. I'm with whyme though, he didn't have to bring everyone else with him if he was this mentally disturbed. Killing your grandparents and fellow random classmates? It makes me sad how people can be as heartless as to do such a thing. This reminds me of something that was posted here a bit ago, about a girl shooting her father with a shotgun. Spoiled kids don't know how good they have it, and take it out on everyone else. It gives all of us a bad name and we all get priveledges taken away for it. Not to mention the police being up our asses about everything.

Yup, they showed this on WB2 News about 2 months ago. I already got 2 replacements for 2 Xbox's.That means I sold the other 2 at the local Game Force for an easy 20 bucks

I applied for an upgrade before the package change came in and now I have to get 30 credits because of teh SLOW bastads! :)Nah, I'm kiddin. :)Only about 5 creditz to go before I get 30.

I get the following crap every tenth or so I load the forums. Any insight on to whatever the Hell this is?

Judging by the resemblence of the usernames, I'd say it's his. Unless of course he faked his user on this forum...Either way, good work. Some of those things are really useful!!:)The MusicXp.net one was especially helpful.

Gah, I need an effing edit button. What I was going to say in addition to my last post is that Google is probably going to, in the end, become a manufacturer of E-products like Yahoo is. Just my prediction.

That would be effing awesome. Google Messenger. Has a ring to it.But I agree, it probably is a marketing campaign. Say you need invites to join it, that way people want them. Then when everyone's got Gmail, make a ploy to take over the world with Google Products!GIM. Google IM baby.

That's how I started. I got the Sorcerer's Stone movie when it came out, just to see what it was like. I thought it was pretty good, so I got the first book, read it, and liked it. Now I'm hooked on both the books and movies, but mostly books, since those are portable :)Call me a geek, but meh, I like Harry Potter *everyone drops dead*

Wow, that really and completely sucks. At least you got your money back, though. Anyways, being 15 and all, I don't have a credit card. All I do if I want to order something is get on my dad's amazon/ebay/paypal account, order it, and give him money.Let him deal with the fraud! :)But I agree with you on amazon, low price for brand new or used things.

Meh, Internet Explorer is just trying to suck up to people to get them off of FireFox and all the other browsers. I have to hand it to Microsoft, they made a fine browser, but they also set it up for people to mod, make better, and distribute to people.Internet Explorer (I hope) will never be able to keep up with Firefox, I love it too much. Besides, like every webpage you go to tries to get you to download one of those **itty toolbars that takes up half your screen, along with a gig of spyware. I've yet to see some kind of crappy tool/searchbar come up for Firefox. Plus Firefox has some good mods and junk.Now, sum that all up into two words, HEIL FIREFOX!!!

I would sell my year's worth of food to the natives, who will in return help build me a boat! Muahahaha!...Or not?I'd have Subway. I nice BMT with all my favorite things. I love subway. I get it at least twice a week hehe.But those people saying steak, how the Hell would you eat that for a full year? I mean, I love steak as much as the next guy (if not more) but meh. A full year.And do we get a toothbrush? Those people saying steak wouldn't like eating it without any teeth !Maybe I'm delving too much into this.

*raises hand*I have experience...

Ouch... That would SUCK if you lose that many credits just for hosting, really. I (don't) feel your pain.

Three things that piss me off? I can think of a Hell lot more, but meh.1. Like dark said, when I'm being disrespected. Especially by someone who just met me and does it just for the Hell of it.2. Once again, I agree with dark. Stupid people. It annoys me how stupid people are living on Earth. They need to remove themselves from the gene pool.3. Stereotypes. I hate when people stereotype me. Hey look, I wear glasses, does that mean I'm a nerd? No. It pisses me off something when stupid people (see above) disrespect (see above) and stereotype me.

D'oh. I got the number 7 from the number of credits you need to get your site reactivated. Don't mind me... Can I apply for Village Idiot?

I REALLY suggest you don't leave this host if it's just the posting issue. Teh host is too damn good, no ads, lotsa space, and look at all those 99's in the cPanel :)I recommend that you just post several good, quality posts before you leave. Just find a topic that catches your interest, or Hell, even something that DOESN'T catch your interest, just as long as you have something to say. How long do you plan on leaving? It's it's just for 2-3 weeks, just post a bit. I myself can easy move up 4-5 credits in a day if I absolutely NEED to.Also, your credits can drop as low as 7 without your site and its content being deleted.Just my... *counts* 34 cents.

You should submit this to the tutorials section :)Either way, I really like it. Very nice tutorial, d00d.

Ahhh the top 5 games... that's a toughy.I'd say...1. Counter-Strike (Xbox or PC, but mainly PC)2. ANY of the Metroid games. They are Gods.3. Halo 2.4. The Burnout Series5. Grand Theft Auto: Vice CityMeh, there are a shitload more, but those are my favorites. ^.^

Something else you can do is go into 'My Received Files', which I believe is in My Documents. Just find anything out of the ordinary and delete it. Just about a week ago I did a complete format of my entire compooter because I had several hundred viruses :)Hell, several years of viruses really add up. I suggest you only accept things from friends that you really KNOW, or ask them if they sent it, since mmost viruses in MSN don't show up to the user sending them.Meh, just my...*counts* 57 cents.

I'm not sure really, probably around 700-800. I used to have like 2K until I had to reformat my computer.

An easier and less-costly way is to take some toothpaste, the non crystalized kind (like crest and aquafresh) and rub it in a deep scratch. Just take a soft cloth and wipe it off. Then clean it with some Windex or other glass cleaner and wa la, data recovery ^.^

If I recall correctly there's been several windows-system related viruses such as explorer1.dll, and I THINK system32.dll may also be a virus. Not quite sure really.

Ahhh okay. I assumed by the way that it was quickly going down every 10 or so minutes I'd need like 20 credits just to stay open for a week.Danke

Is there a way we can convert the number of credits we have to the number of days we have left? Since the credits decrease by .01 or so every 10-15 minutes, I'm scared that if I go away for even a day or two, my site will be suspended.

I agree.Notepad is GOD. I love being able to edit anything with it. So simple yet so amazing d00dtistic.
