  1. THe internet is convenient because you can get it when its convenient for you instead of nightly at a certain time. That means you're up to date alot quicker... Still I do watch the news on TV when it's on. Sometimes I read the newspaper too... Depends on whats convenient at the time.
  2. Where did you do your IQ test. Most of the ones online I don't really know if they're 'official' or not. I haven't done an IQ test for years... whereabouts could i get an official one anyway?
  3. Salsa added into pasta sauce? sounds interesting, will try it. Back to the main question, canned vegetables are definitely not as good for you as fresh, you could also try frozen vegetables, they're better for you than canned (although I'm not sure how everything compares in price)Pasta and rice are good cheap carb options and they fill you up.I definitely agree with the buy in bulk and freeze. Even with loaves of bread, I tend to buy in bulk and keep them in the fridge so they last longer, same with meat and so on when I'm in a pinch. (No they don't taste as good, but in the end there's got to be a little trade off between saving money and really nice food)
  4. Mcdonalds is just cheap and easy and tastes relatively okay, not great, but okay. I don't eat there personally, but for many of my friends its their first choice in a food court or when we go out.I admit I do like their fries... they are tasty (although i would prefer if they weren't AS skinny) but other than that I haven't bought anything there in years.As for the "Mcdonalds makes you fat" argument, yes their food isn't healthy and has higher calories than alot of things out there but I agree with rpgsearcherz, it depends on how active you are. Pretty much you can eat whatever you want as long as you are active. Unfortunately, alot of people who eat Mcdonalds are on the lazy inactive side... so it becomes a vicious cycle of sorts.
  5. That is a shame i used to use uploadingit.com but I recently switched to photobucket for most of my forum sigs and photos that i dont wan't on my subdomain and nothing's happened to them yet *fingers crossed*
  6. That's good to hear. So even if the myCENTS on the forum fluctuates whatever is already in the Xisto billing account stays? (am i correct?)Thanks for clearing things up I was wondering what was happening with the fluctuating myCENTS.
  7. Joomla has a really big community and lots of extensions. Its my favourite CMS although Drupal isn't bad (but a little less user friendly).I agree with rpgsearcherz, trying to start a new social networking community to compete with facebook and myspace would be really difficult. There are probably easier ways of making money on the web out there.
  8. I don't have any major things I would change about the game. Introducing cameras or more 'machines' to referee would i think ruin the fluidity of the game, and can lead to some ridiculous REALLY marginal decisions (e.g. like in Tennis where a ball is called in when it catches 1mm of the line, how is the human eye supposed to see that?).Still the idea of a goaline camera could work, since it is sort of a crucial point on the field... and very unfair when goals that weren't are rewarded. That wouldn't ruin the flow of the game much either because it really is at the end of a play that it would be used.

    Adobe

    I agree with most of the people who've replied so far. I haven't had any issues with Adobe products, I find Acrobat reader a good product (and it's supposed to be a taster for you to buy the full Acrobat anyway). As for other products, I've been a Photoshop user since forever (it's the perfect application for editing, designing, logos, website making etc), and I now also use Dreamweaver which I haven't had any major issues with so far.As far as I'm concerned Adobe products are great
  10. okay, that is slightly ridiculous, i cringed just looking at the photo. sharp metal things near eyes doesn't sit well with me. And plus, they don't even LOOK nice If i saw someone walking down the street with that, I would be thinking "what in the world?" rather than "oh pretty!"
  11. I use NoScript to block ads and I find it works really well. Firebug is a great for developors and coding etc. I find it very useful. Another one of my favourites is "Screengrab" which I find really good for screenshotting entire web pages (great when I want to show other people my layouts)ColorZilla is also another good one that lets you determine the HEX colour codes on any page, or just finding any color codes. FireFTP is a good alternative to filezilla as an FTP client (it's convenient because it just opens in firefox and has pretty good features)They're the main one that I use... I might have to try this Webmail notifier, I didn't know about it and it sounds perfect for me. Thanks
  12. That video youtbue is really scary. Personally I've never seen any ghosts or had any experiences similar but I've had so many friends who swear that they have. I don't really know what to believe, whether it's their imagination or whether ghosts are actually real.
  13. Wow, goes to show that there's lots of money to be made online if you have the right ideas and opportunities. Most of them are all so young as well
  14. Wow, so colourful, almost blinding haha. I agree with bluebear, i haven't head of some of the ingredients. What exactly is "cake flour", plain flour? self raising flour? But it would be fun to make and show people , I wonder how it tastes since essentially it's just flour and sugar...
  15. Yes I know how you feel, I usually just speed up and try to get around them (if possible) and if not i say excuse me and barge through... yes a little 'rude' i suppose but it's their fault for taking up the whole sidwalk and not leaving room for others
  16. The PS3 price was rather expensive when it was first released but now it has dropped a bit. But when you compare its processor and functions with the other gaming consoles out there (Xbox and Wii, and then look at the prices) it does seem reasonable enough.In terms of processor and features it is a MASSIVE step up from the PS2 and yes the price is as well. Still, I think it is worth the price tag and I would buy one.
  17. I'd heard about all those conspiracy theories but Honestly I don't think it was faked. The US had nothing to gain by faking it and there are perfectly logical explanations for all those "theories" and "reasons" why the video looked fake.If it really was faked there must have been some leak of official documents or something related by now, in this age its really difficult to hide anything with the media the way it is.
  18. Great tutorial! Litestep is awesome, it's the most configurable (much more so than Style XP and Windows blinds and some of the others that sort of just use the default windows taskbars and make them slightly prettier).I used litestep a while ago and was looking to get it setup on my new computer.Thanks for the tips up
  19. So according to pokemyname, My name is the most popular 165.th name in USA and according to howmanyofme, there are 124 people in the US with my name... (i actually thought there would be more) how random
  20. haha random, interesting idea, would be useful for some but not me... don't drink hot drinks, now if it was a usb drink cooler, that would be perfect for meAll these new 'usb' tools are coming out, the USB is practically the new 'power point'
  21. It's always difficult going from a "friendship" type relationship to a "friendship AND business" type relationship, because everything changes. You need to start tackling all these issues about organization, money etc which on a normal 'friend' basis you didn't really mention before.Either it will make the friendship stronger or it can ruin it alltogether, especially when trust issues come in. When large amounts of money are mixed with relationships, you discover who are your real friends and who personality wise is compatible with you... Personally I would stay away from it because its quite a risk. so: friendship to business partner, i probably wouldn't do but business partner to friendship, possible
  22. yeah everything works normally for me in firefox, even if i press 'home'... perhaps it is your browser?
  23. In terms of the law, you can't really enforce it. If you make suicide "illegal" are you going to punish those who attempt to commit suicide? It's not the best option either1. the person was successful in commiting suicide so you can't do anything OR2. they survive, but their mental state will already be fragile, the should go see a psychiatrist or get some counselling, not be prosecuted for doing something "illegal"Suicide in the end is a moral debate not a legal one. Everyone has different moral opinions, personally I could never even think of committing suicide, but I'v never suffered from depression. I think no matter how bad you might 'think' things are, life should still remain valuable and suicide means you leave your loved ones behind to deal with the fallout...
  24. It depends on what type of website you want, a blog? or a website with some other type of content? If you want a blog I suggest installing Wordpress and customizing a template there (there are lots of free templates for wordpress which are pretty good)For other websites there are lots of CMS out there, I'd recommend Joomla - which also has plenty of templates.To get started I suggest you look at some of the free templates out there. It would get you started with a basic html/css type layout. And trap 17 offers great 'free' hosting.
  25. Interesting question, and a difficult one to answer. I like the idea of spirituality because it is a bit more open minded than science. Ultimately I agree that both science and spirituality are ways to attempt to explain the world around us.The problem with science is that it's so black and white, if numbers, graphs, data, research, or our own eyes don't prove something, then it is wrong, nonexistent etc. Spirituality on the other hand can take things a bit too far to the point where I don't believe some of the concepts and beliefs being thrown around. In the end it's a balance between the two that varies for each individual, I think i classify myself as a fence sitter, believing in a bit of both. Some may have more faith in spirituality than science whilst for others it may be the other way round.Either way I think both need to exist to compliment each other...
