I usually don't notice grammatical errors if the spelling and punctuation is correct. This is especially a bad habit because it's my grammar I need to improve. So... I appreciate reading grammatically correct posts. Makes it harder to learn incorrect usage if anything. Speaking of grammar I've...

Is it just me who have this feeling TV executives and owners of all the different channels (be it fox, abc, cbs etc) deliberetaly destroy TV-shows by forcing the producers to make them longer, just so they have a safe income from those who buy advertisement? Think about it: When it comes to TV...

You are doing yourself a huge disservice here. All common spam-filters work by couting words in an e-mail and then comparing it to the spam filters internal list of common spam-words. I got 7 gamestore e-mails and my spam filter was kind enough to catch all them. I don't care about that, I...

Howabout this thing, to keep the damn kids of the lawn! http://news.com.com/Whats+the+buzz+Teens+cant+stand+it/2100-11395_3-5974937.html?part=rss&tag=5974937&subj=news ;)

I don't understand what you guys mean when you say googles ads are NOT intrusive. Google have the most intrusive ads on the whole internet! Those really annoying rainbow colored flashing GIF thingies which promise FREE!!! things, or the Punch The Monkey and WIN!!! banners. They are not...

I have a gmail account mainly when I register on dubious websites. There are several reasons I would never use one for more personal matters: Google is an advertisement business. That's where they get all their money. The thing with Google is their products are _good_, such as the search engine...

I think the version was first played by Yngwie Malmsteen. Anyhow, the guy/kids homepage is: http://jerryc.tw/ where you can download a version where he plays the same song without playback / background sound. So he does have some skill.

This is simply too cool to miss: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1491516901670441597&q=japanese+canon+guitar

Goodness Gracious Snowballs Of 'Amber... Eeew.

I'm pretty sure most members here have interests and hobbies they feel passionate about, be it Dungeons & Dragons, painting, photography or something else. I am reasonably certain most members for short periods of time grow completely tired of their hobby, just to regain the interest days...

This honestly surprise me as universities are the very few places where really high-speed internet connections are common, at least so I thought. What's the reason behind this? Aren't there someone you can complain to?

I agree. It's usually considered very bad netiquette to use a signature considerably larger than your average post. You can of course disable signatures altogether in your profile but that'd be a shame because it's only a few members who have the really large signatures, basically ruining it for...

Overclocking is not that worthless. Remember the CPU manufacturers themselves usually only create a few different processor versions in a family and then set the default clock speed to the highest stable possible. For example, a processor at 2 GHz and a processor at 2,4 Ghz are certainly created...

The interesting thing is pretty much everyone who actually figure out how to do the stuff in patents are against them. The guy who got the idea of one-click shopping at amazon is against software patents. So are most pharmaceutical _researches_, and most people with actual scientific knowledge...

Only banner on this site I've ever clicked. Guess that proves I'm a stupid male. :p

You are standing in an open field west of a white house, with a boarded front door. There is a small mailbox here. > x mailbox The small mailbox is closed. > open mailbox Opening the small mailbox reveals a leaflet. > get leaflet Taken. >_ Remember Zork, the old comuter game text...

Problem is already solved, but the most exact solution Maple could find for the data in the first post is a 19:th-degree polynomial involving mostly rationals. Not something you want to use on a calculator. :)

This is a pretty interesting question, computer science wise. When a program wants some memory it asks the computer (operating system) "hey, can I have some memory?". The operating system will check if there's memory available and if it is, it will tell the program "sure" and the program can use...

<OT> This is a pretty interesting subject in itself: social software. Basically, how will a community evolve around the means of communication a certain "socialization software" such as a forum gives the users? In this case, if you give the users means of showing they are joking (smileys), then...

Hmm, the only "weird" thing I do according to my friends is to eat pizza using a plate + fork combination. That is, I place the whole pizza on a large freaking plate or other flat, clean object, balance this plate on the top of top of my fingers on my left hand and then eat the pizza by pushing...
