  1. Hey calculate out the mortgage, if you take out a 30 year mortgage the payments are almost affordable at a mere $431,001/month this apartment could be yours. And of course if you think the 70Mil price tag is bad you would be paying an extra 85Mil in interest. I'm gonna rush right out and buy it
  2. Just to clear things up, this is XP we're talking about right?And do you have File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks installed in your Network Settings? Do you know how to do that? It is hard to give you direction without knowing more info, well I could give you detailed step by step, but it would be easier if I knew exactly what you have done, and how much you know about setting up networks.Basically if you have File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks, it is just a matter of selecting the folder/printer and sharing it out by right clicking on the object and going to sharing and setting up a share for it. You have to give the user on the other computer access to the computer, but that isn't that difficult.
  3. I skimmed them, but my page is still in development, and probably will be for some time. Slowly working on it .
  4. The miracle of birth is not in the fact that a child is born, or the complex biochemical interactions that occur in order of this even to happen, but in the amaizing psycological transformation that occurs in the parents of said child. I had the joy of experiencing this not too long ago (ok, almost 3 years ago, but ask any parent three years of watching a child grow seems like three minutes of Real Time) and all those same concerns hit me. It is amaizing how quickly life turns from your own personal concerns to that of the welfare and happiness of a child.The mere fact that you are wondering this implies, to me anyways, that you are capbable of thinking like this, you just have no reason yet.
  5. No such thing as a RAM virus. Once you power off your system nothing resides in RAM so a virus cannot infect the RAM, the closest thing to a RAM virus would be a virus that loads in a TSR (terminally stay resident) program.You seem to have eliminated a good number of problems, but I have to ask, have you eliminated the power source (not supply) as your problem. Is it possible that the PC's are plugged into a bad outlet? I know it seems like such a silly thing, but I have seen it before where an unreliable outlet would power up for a few seconds then shut down the second the PC tried to draw any more power. Try plugging into a different outlet, using a different power bar or UPS. If your power outlet is off it may also be frying your powersupplies, and that could be why the comptuer you knew was working is now exhibiting similar symptoms.
  6. The Da Vinci code is an extremely good read, and as others. As others have stated it is about the Holy Grail.Saint Michael: And how would you know that the book is complete bull if you have only read a few pages? Of course it is completely made up, it is after all a FICTION novel. As to it being made up of just popular places and known people, well duh ya, but to be fair all of the descriptions of the artwork is 100% acurate, in otherwords everything he sais is in the art is really there. If you doubt it read the book and then look at some of the art, or buy the illustrated version of the book, it has most of the art described in the book, along with blow ups of the specific works.

    Google Hacked?

    There are many ways someone could accomplish this without hacking google, it is more likely that a virus replaced the hosts file and pointed google to sogosearch.com's ip address instead. Not a very difficult trick, and it can throw a wrench into the works. You say you heard it on the news? What network? I would be interested in finding out more about this piece of news.
  8. Ok, this is just plain silly.All of these arguments are ancient and pointless."Waving Flag"There are a multitude of possiblilites to explain this, and they have been covered in this thread over and over again. Suffice it to say, there is a reason why it APPEARS to be waving in the non existant wind."No dust on the lander"Again, this has been covered, but I will repeat it, dust takes a very long time to settle, and a picture would not necessarily show dust, no matter how clear it was."Second Light Source"Again, it has been covered, but again it bears repeating, EARTHSHINE!!! The earth IS a light source."Van Allen belt radiation"There are several methods through the Van Allen belt wich minimizes radiation, it is easy enough to avoid the heaviest areas of the radiation belt, and this is exactly what the appolo missions did. Also it DOES NOT require 2m of lead shielding to protect against said radiation. This is an urban legend that is completely false, the fact is 2m of shielding would probably protect you from a nuclear blast, and do you really believe that the van allen belt is putting out THAT much radiation? The Radiation in the Van Allen belt is not the same as electomagnetic radiation, and if I recall correctly metal is fairly useless against particle radiation, the shielding of choice is I belive polyetheline (sp?), back in the appolo age they used something else, but there are numerous materials that work just fine and dandy.I have seen a similar documentary, and it is compelling, but the arguments are made by people who don't have a basic understanding of physics, and NASA doesn't bother refuting them because they are silly arguments. That are not fully researched.There I believe that I have refuted all the evidence agains the lunar landing. If people still choose to believe something they saw on a deliberately biased documentary I refer them to Chariots of the Gods. Or if that reference was a little vague let me relate a little story my Grade 11 physics teacher told us about analysing data to "prove" something. One of his students (or so he claimed, personally I believe it was probably him) proved conclusively that three hole punched lined paper was a message from Alpha Centauri. His argument was extremely interesting, but of no real value, in his paper he demonstrated that by taking the length of the paper and multiplying it by the number of lines, and then doing something about the radius of the holes you end up with pretty damn close to the exact distance from here to Alpha Centauri. Very interesting little paper, I read it, quite amusing and throughly convincing, however you then had to realize all the crunching he had to do to fit the theory. When you start out with a theory you are already convinced is true it is pretty easy to skew the evidence in your favour.
  9. Ya that is a useful feature, I've used it a number of times, though I still prefer just to go to http://www.merriam-webster.com/ since the definitions are more reliably accurate, though with the google define: feature the M-W definitions quite often come up first.
  10. Once again, once upon a time, sure. There was a time when Microsoft employees were Millionairs before they hit 30 thanks to shares given to them in leu of paying them big bucks. However now adays people are rightfully more mindful of the fact that shares mean diddly squat in the long run sometimes, and the Microsoft Millionairs quickly found that their paper millions shrank as the market returned to normal. Bill gates may be among the Richest men in the world, but his programmers aren't. A top notch programmer could get top dollar, while a mediocre one would make barely minimum wage. If you doubt it check out how many part time programmer contracts there are available, and how many people are willing to do the jobs for peanuts. I still say business is your best bet, because with a good degree in business from a reputable school even a mediocre business man could make more than the average programmer, and a great business man could make more than the best sports figure.
  11. Once upon a time perhaps, not so anymore. You see once computers were these nearly mystical things that only a few "specialists" understood, and a person could make a mint with a little computer knowledge. Now adays though to make serious money in IT you need to either head for the business end of things and aim for a CIO type postion, or high end specialized programming. Jobs in the IT industry are now difficult to find as the market is saturated with MCSE's and other "certified" professionals. Hard core programmers still make good money, but the market is even pretty streched for programmers. I think the highest paying jobs are in business, get an MBA along with a non business diploma and your pretty much set. Like I said about the IT industry, if you had a computer engineering or computer science BA and a MBA you can land a job quite easily in upper management and be in the higher tax brackets in no time.
  12. Well why not look at every car that passes you by and wonder if it will crash into you? I don't think I would look up at a flying car and worry it will crash, nor would I worry about flying one. Of course I am assuming that as more safety testing then what goes into cars would be done on these flying cars, but that may be a silly assumption on my part. Sure at first when (and if) such cars come about only the super rich will be able to afford them, but they'll come down in price just like everything else.
  13. Glad to see a youth taking an interest in Politics. Canadians are netoriously uninterested in politics, and for this reason I think the Canadian voters are partially responsible for scandals like this, we vote the crooks in with little thought, it takes very little effort to majorly change the face of a political party in Canada because there are so few people who are willing to do it. Just because you are too young to vote doesn't mean you are too young to become active in politics. Most parties have a youth memebership policy which allows for people under the voting age to join and get involved in the party. I don't know if the Greens have this but you can always go to thier website and ask. I sure hope things don't blow over too quickly, I would like to see this sorted out properly, and not swept under the rug. Why was it too extreme? I think Canadians should hear from the PMO like this more often, I know it came dangerously close to intrupting Survivor (which I am addicted to and would have a hard time turning on Paul Martin instead of those castaways ), but still it is nice to see the PM actually addressing an issue. Although this is a Liberal problem more than a Canadian problem, but the Liberals are the governing party, which makes it a Canadian problem, because I don't know about you but I want to know how crooked the crooks we put in office are.
  14. After I attacked your position, I'd like to give you an example of where we share one position (though I don't mind people who didn't spend much time thinking about an issue participating in an demonstration just to increase the number of people who've been there ) 133226[/snapback] Don't worry about offending me, I don't offend easily ... Seriously, don't get me wrong, I am NOT judging people for attending protests, I am saying that it should be fairly low on the scale of things to do for/against an issue. There are so many protests lately, and so few of the protesters really know what is being done for/against the issue they are protesting in government or in the real world. I applaud those who are true activists and who are working using multiple methods to reach thier goal, both activly (with protests etc) and passively (through thier government). I do believe that a well worded and signed petition goes alot further than a protest for 9 out of 10 incidents. Next I never said he should never attend a protest at his age. I just said his parents should not WANT him attending a protest, especially if it is not one they are willing to attend (a parent should never be forced to attend a protest because thier child believes in an issue, a parent should allow the child to have thier own views on issues, but not change thiers just to please a child, a child must learn that others can have differing views then thier own). If the original poster feels strongly enough about an issue, perhaps he could bring the issue to his parents and encourage THIER attendance at a protest, then perhaps they would be willing to bring him along.
