    Have an art program that can read PNG's and write GIF's? - If so, please help.

    Just a suggestion. Do you have the logo without the "House Rules Forum" text on it? I'd imagine it would be easier to add new text on such a picture since you don't have to erase the parts of the text that is on top of the drop shadow. Or is that one of the reasons why you're asking people for...

    Favorite song

    Okay, as for a "funeral" song, I'd have to go with "One" by U2

    Favorite song

    Just one? Alive by Pearl Jam. I'm sure everybody has heard it, it's just connected to so many memories from back then. Ahh, to be a teenager again...

    Is the U.S. behind in the sciences?

    Although only a tangent off of this, the above reminded me about an interesting fact, which I found when I was researching the possibility of bringing the Danish student aid with me to study in the US. It turns out that I wouldn't be able to get the student aid for the first year of college in...

    Really strange email...

    Actually it was Captain Tagon who said he didn't like the Beatles in the thread I mentioned earlier... weird.

    Really strange email...

    Didn't you write about the "Beatles are overrated"-thing in a "favourite music" thread here a little while ago? Someone must have taken offence...

    Is the U.S. behind in the sciences?

    [Emphasis mine] That's quite a broad and, to say the least, wildly offensive statement... care to back up your claim with hard facts or are you just mouthing off about something you don't know anything about?

    BIOS update and/or Fantasy Grounds/video card question

    Thanks for the BIOS update info. Do you now whether anything would happen by updating the BIOS even if that's not the problem behind the other problems?

    BIOS update and/or Fantasy Grounds/video card question

    I'm trying to help out a friend who has run into some problems. Sorry if the title doesn't make much sense :p After upgrading to Win XP Home, from Win98, he has been experiencing some problems (most performance wise problems are probably tied to the fact that he could use some more RAM)...

    I'll second that... :D

    Some people REALLY dislike Valentine's Day...

    http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2005/02/12/MNG4QBA2I81.DTL Good thing the nutcase was stopped... but it's still sad that people had "signed" up to participate in the "party" :\

    [CoC/Eberron]Valthirond Sleeps-Ex Oblivion, Eberron! IC

    "By my mother's sweet honey cakes, what IS that thing?" Expecting thugs or other worldly attackers, Vecis is taken back by the tentacles rising out of the water. Wondering what good he could do against such an abomination, he hears his companion from the train station land with a big thump on...

    House Plans [UPDATE: Construction!]

    Okay, so erm... when did you win the lottery? That house looks HUGE! But I'm with GlassJaw that it has more of a Victorian/Cthulhu/Ravenloft feel to it than a dungeon per se.

    Pull up your pants!

    I'm sure a lot of people have heard about this, I just think it's funny :p Now you can get fined for having visible underwear in Virginia. Here's just one of the many places you can read about it: http://www.vh1.com/news/articles/1496756/20050209/index.jhtml?headlines=true

    Baby, you can drive my car

    Ohhh, I was just wondering about that. It's a snazzy car I think, but I'm 6'6" and had pretty much decided that I'd never fit into one of those... Hmmmm, now I just need to actually have the money to buy one :p My only demands in a car are: I can fit comfortably in it, it runs when I turn the...

    "After a crumby ending, donated dough rolls in for 2 cookie deliverers" Oh the humanity!!! Where do they come up with subheaders like that? :confused:

    Holy Crap

    Interesting... I experienced a little bit of the "Starbucks everywhere" when I was in Santa Monica. But looking at the map of all of LA (yes, I know Santa Monica isn't really part of LA), I just saw that pretty much all of the Starbucks in LA are located in or very near Santa Monica :p Mmmm...

    somthing is slowing things down: 11:00 Seattle

    I just experienced some serious delays and even time outs when trying to open threads. Just now, so that's just after 8 p.m. EST. Edit: But this went straight through, so maybe it was just a fluke...

    You can't do anything nice

    "one summer's evening" - "July 31" - "around 10:30 p.m." Okay, right there that says to me that it most likely was just after dark, on a warm summer evening. People around here tend to stay out pretty late on warm summer evenings. So "late at night" is a loaded term and might not apply to...
