» With a yahoo Id, I get free McAfee? I'm now paying for Norton. Is that a waste of $?
The only thing free about your Yahoo ID is email. You may have some other inducement, but just having a Yhoo ID does not get you free mcAfee. And if you are paying for Norton, you are paying too much for antivirus protection, when the best protection around is free. Avira. Avast. AVG. All free, all among the top rated three. I think the Yahoo one only protects your e-mail and content through Yahoo. You need to keep the one that actually protects your computer from all the sites.Norton is a waste of money anyway as it sucks up all your pc resources try using trendmicro products they are usually the best imo. ...... - 2009-07-03

» Isn't it funny how Obama has just pushed Bush out of the way and taken over?
He basically has assumed the duties as the acting President despite bush having 2 months left in office.Actually he hasn't. Just that the media is his ho. Tell me, what bills has he signed already. didn't think so.Where are you getting that?? He didn't push him out of the way. Bush is allowing him to see what it takes to run the country. A smart move because of Obama's limited experience. I think Bush is handling this in the way that is best for the country. Obama has so much to learn and very little time. Do you really think that Bush is going to Obama for help???? That is so absurd, I am almost speechless! Obama had one term in the Senate.

Was this not a great season!!! I was so sad when I though Bob was gone, put Sugar impressed me by making it a tie! And when they announced his name at the finale I was so excited!! I do wish Sugar or Matty would have gotten the 100,000 though... What are your thoughts? And what did you think about Corrinne's comment?I couldn't be happier about Bob's win on both counts. He really deserved it, and that makes this my favorite SURVIVOR season now. Sugar probably really hurt herself with the answers she gave the jury, but in some odd way, I think that helping Bob win will also help her make peace with her dad's passing. She'll be okay.

However, it can sometimes be obvious that you're trying to look bigger by wearing a padded bra, and you might not like the way that looks. My suggestion is to go to your fav undies store with a few tops that you wear often and try on some padded bras and see how they look under your shirts. If you like the way it looks, go for it. :)Its not the padding that makes your boobs look small. If a bra is ill-fitted it will make your boobs look stran...... - 2009-07-03

» Installing Windows 9x over Windows XP/2k/2k3 (NT based OS)!
Guys! If we install windows 98/me over windows 2000, XP, or other NT based OS, then Boot loader is overwritten and we can't boot in our XP but can boot only in newly installed 98 or Me. So we always suggested that first install 98/Me then install Xp or other NT based OS. But sometimes we need to install 9x over Xp. In that condition I hv a trick (my own trick), by which u can overcome this problem and the Boot loader will not be overwritten. Here we go: 1.) First d/l this free DOS version from following link: MS-DOS 7.10 (http://www.cn-dos.net/msdos71/) It contains both floppy and CD setup. 2.) Now Just install this DOS. It'll automatically add an entry for it in the XP boot loader. So boot loader will not be overwritten. ...... - 2009-07-03

I have been looking online for a dirtbike for my son, but I don't know anything about cc's or whatever that is...LOL. What should I look for?It would depend a lot on how large an 8 year old you have but many at that age would be the size suitable for something like a Yamaha Pee Wee 80 or a crf80 or xr80. If he is on the small size then look at the crf50. To find out what would be best for him size wise take him along to a dealership and sit on a few. You can then buy secondhand once you know what suits best.

However, it can sometimes be obvious that you're trying to look bigger by wearing a padded bra, and you might not like the way that looks. My suggestion is to go to your fav undies store with a few tops that you wear often and try on some padded bras and see how they look under your shirts.

» Installing Windows 9x over Windows XP/2k/2k3 (NT based OS)!
Guys! If we install windows 98/me over windows 2000, XP, or other NT based OS, then Boot loader is overwritten and we can't boot in our XP but can boot only in newly installed 98 or Me. So we always suggested that first install 98/Me then install Xp or other NT based OS. But sometimes we need to install 9x over Xp. In that condition I hv a trick (my own trick), by which u can overcome this problem and the Boot loader will not be overwritten. Here we go: 1.) First d/l this free DOS version from following link: MS-DOS 7.10 (http://www.cn-dos.net/msdos71/) It contains both floppy and CD setup. 2.) Now Just install this DOS. It'll automatically add an entry for it in the XP boot loader. So boot loader will not be overwritten. ...... - 2009-07-03

Angry Ferguson hits out at referee Webb (http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=478421&cc=5901) The man who has had the most one sided home refereeing in possibly the history of the world complaining about a ref who did a a pretty good job. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: Exactly!You say pretty good job but the reality was quite different. As for Ferguson's remarks did you even bother to read them all? Some of the antics from the Arsenal crowd were rather pathetic. So much so that it forced an Arsenal official to come out and make a public statement about it. There is also little doubt that the official favoured the home side with numerous 50/50 decisions going to whoever shouted hardest for it. Sadly that is what you come t...... - 2009-07-03
» First pictures, how can I make them better?
So I'm attempting to reintroduce myself to photography, and a week or two ago purchased my first DSLR (Nikon D60). Actually, its the first SLR I've used in about 10-15 years. I went to the mountains in North Georgia and took some fairly nice photographs, all things considered (and after a little bit of trying to figure out what I was doing). Now that I've returned, I'm stuck with not having any real direction or focus on making some improvements to the photos, or even knowing which are "good" and which are "bad." So I was hoping for a little critique of some of them, and am looking for any suggestions as to improving the pictures - either what I should have done better when taking them, or what I may want to try with a photo editor (i...... - 2009-07-03
» Possible Java bug?
Holy crap, this is a strange one. I can't believe this is happening. I'm working on a class assignment, which is making a class in Java that behaves as a mathematical set and to implement methods for adding and removing elements to the set and then functions for a union of two sets, intersection and symmetric difference. A set has an array of strings inside it. I've implemented everything except the symmetric difference and while doing the symmetric difference (which is basically union minus the intersection), something strange happens. Set sa = new Set().add("a").add("b").add("c"); Set sb = new Set().add("c").add("d").add("e"); sa.printAll(); //this outputs: a b c sb.printAll(); // this outputs: c d e //all is well so far Set union...... - 2009-07-03

» No top seed for Italy at Euro2004
This is not a surprise to me because I'd seen a list somewhere of the rankings, and Italy were not in the top four. It amazes me that Sweden is a top seed, but they just perform well in qualfiying. Certainly no shame to be in the same group as England, Spain, and Germany. At least there's no chance of drawing one of those teams. http://www.channel4.com/sport/football_italia/nov20e.html Here's the best draw I can imagine: Sweden, Russia, Latvia. and the worst: France, Holland, Switzerland.I actually like this for Italy....no chance of being in the group with England, Germany or Spain. As long as Holland isn't the #3 seed in Italy's group, they should be strong favorites to qualify for the knockout stage... but yes, Swed...... - 2009-07-03
» Which is better AMD Or INTEL?
As far as online gaming does it matter wither you have an intel CPU or AMD CPUIt really doesn't matter, since your online gaming experience depends more upon your broadband connection and video card than your CPU. Intel's Core 2 cpus are currently better than any competing offerings from AMD, but sometimes you can save money with an AMD build- get a system that's roughly as fast for less cash. For gaming, GPU is way more important than CPU. A $100 CPU with a $300 video card gets higher framerates than a $300 CPU and $100 video card, regardless of whether you're talking Intel or AMD.Intel all day. AMD is treading water just to stay alive, and the rip-current is about to get a lot stronger now that Intel has release...... - 2009-07-03

Then tell her that you do self harm and you want to stop, and you can't do it alone and tell her shes your best friend and you want her to be the one that helps you. Tell her everything, and if shes your real friend, then she'll understand you. Self harm isn't good and it could really hurt you.

» What size dirt bike is appropriate for an 8 year old?
I have been looking online for a dirtbike for my son, but I don't know anything about cc's or whatever that is...LOL. What should I look for?It would depend a lot on how large an 8 year old you have but many at that age would be the size suitable for something like a Yamaha Pee Wee 80 or a crf80 or xr80. If he is on the small size then look at the crf50. To find out what would be best for him size wise take him along to a dealership and sit on a few. You can then buy secondhand once you know what suits best. And for those who are bagging you for putting an 8 year old on a bike, they should look at a few You Tube videos of 8 year olds racing at a National level. Some of those kids are amazing.
