  1. Problem is that there is a grain of truth in every generality. There are ton's of stupid school admins and a ton of smart ones. I had a couple really stupid ones in my day. I'd always find a way around their security and share it with everyone. Then they'd lock that down and the cycle would continue. I would also use accounts from other students to do this, always. Using keyloggers to find passwords that they'd use for email. I figured that'd be probably what they use to get on their school accounts too. Worked well, plus if they were stupid enough to use their passwords for everything the school admins wouldn't suspect them.
  2. Sorta... your tv has to support it. In the back you'll see the normal Yellow RCA ins (YUV). But if your TV supports VGA Analog in its called YPbPr. It's max output is good enough for 1080p, at least from what I've been told. But you tv would have to support it. Watch DL.tv Episode 156 for more info. http://dl.tv/2007/04/episode_156_the_best_inputs_an.php Other info about component video http://www.pcmag.com/encyclopedia_term/0,2...;i=55147,00.asp http://www.pcmag.com/encyclopedia_term/0,2...;i=55163,00.asp The Five cable BNC connector one that was shown earlier is a RGBHV http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VGA_connector
  3. AFAIK2, The connector isn't the most important thing, it's the wire, for transmission.
  4. That one you posted is called a VGA to Y/Pb/Pr adapter. It only works if your TV supports the YPbPr in. A normal RCA Yellow (YUV) or S-Video Y/C) won't work.
  5. Damnit I want a "I pwn newbs" sticker! That's awesome! I want one that says "Bomb Technician, I'm not speeding, I'm running for my life"
  6. Yeah but I got F's from senioritus during my last year of French class...
  7. J'ai toujours dit "Je ne sais pas!" dans francais classe. Je parle francais une peu. J' a pris parler francais dans ecole pour cinq ans. Je ne me rappelle pas beaucoup cependant. Ainsi, pardonnez moi. ... yeah... I kinda remember some of it when it's forced on me. It's been a long time, I'm part french, like, my ear.
  8. This reminds me oddly of the movie "Just Friends" with Ryan Reynolds of Van Wilder.
  9. By newbs do you mean people with post counts of less than 70? har har...
  10. I see said the blind man... I'll just have to put that into my calculations I suppose.
  11. I thought the new forum was suppose to stop this? lol...
  12. wow 35 views and nobody knows ANYTHING? Amazing...
  13. I'm looking to get an online bank for people to be able to dump their money into when they want to pay me with for freelance work I do. Paypal sucks up a good %2.9 of whatever it is... that can become a VERY sizeable chunk of change. Anyone know of an online bank that also has a debit/atm card?
  14. My knowlege on guns is huge, but i disagree with this ^^. This is because back a few years ago, some WW1 expert came and gave a lecture on trench warfair. He said that most guns (well back then anyway) werent designed for killing but more for disabling. Logically this makes a sense bullets arent the largest things and unless it hits you in a vital organ or head its not going to kill you out right. I would imaging a large percentage of gun shoot victoms dont die. To garrentie a kill for each shot the bullet surly must be quite large. The WW1 expert was probably right about WW1, but not for all the history of guns. It's original aim, no pun intended, was to kill. If it didn't then that's something that they had to deal with.
  15. I would venture to say he has chlamydia, not a very fortunate circumstance. Problem is he probably got it from you, as you seem to bend over backwards for someone who seems to be a total dick.
  16. ^^ See thats the problem I'm having with seeing it in the theater. All the kids... oh well I'll buckle down.
  17. This is true... A gun was designed for killing, it is not like a knife that was created out of necessity to cut up meat for eating or cut down trees to build a hut then later used for something unintentional. It was invented to kill humans, primarily.
  18. Kennedy rocks... he so freaking anti-government...
  19. 1. People could never kill easy other on such a grand scale until guns (and bombs) were invented. 2. Yeah, I'm sure all the gang members who use guns (and children who find guns) all follow that little rule. Explosives, at least in small scale, have been used for centuries. The only difference is the technology that attaches itself with the explosive, to make it even more dangerous. http://www.explosives.org/HistoryofExplosives.htm Cannons were essentially the first "guns". They were created until around the 12 Century AD. http://armscollectors.com/gunhistorydates.htm ... Probably the most important discovery isn't the GUN or BOMB but the propellant, black powder. ... That said, humans most certainly would have found another way to kill one another in hand to "hand" combat. But whats more logical than a projectile in an small form that can do alot of damage. It might have been called something else, but did essentially the same thing. Humans are always inventing new ways to kill one another. Watch the show Future Weapons for more info on the Discovery channel in the US. To say guns themselves are good but the people who use them is essentially true. In the same vein as knives or cars. It's how and what you use them for. Early settlers not only used guns in combat but also to get food. Sure you could've used a bow and arrow, but you needed to be highly skilled. With a gun, point and click (for the most part, but a shotgun has a wide dispersion). A reason so many Indians died were because of guns, and obviously miscommunication and a taking over and abuse of land. Even if guns were abolished, humans would still kill one another. Despite the detached feeling of shooting someone to death, unless you actually rip their heart out or strangle them, your going to be a little bit detached from the death. This is the reason why only a select few of the Marines, Army, etc. are trained to kill in actual hand to hand combat, etc. If most got close enough to a person that was mortally wounded, they wouldn't have what it takes to finish them off. There's a huge difference between sniping from 1,000 yards and then coming up in front of the enemy and shooting him point blank in the head or chest. FPS shooters don't help. While I do play them and enjoy doing so, it does give you a surreal feeling when watching tv programs or movies where people are killed, an apathy toward the one dieing, no movement of the heart.
  20. Aero doesn't really add anything functional to the Windows Experience... I'd rather have multiple desktops and expose like functionality...
  21. Hi I'm Nick Burns... Oh I know what's wrong you have AOL on your PC. ..... I have never called Tech Support unless it's something where I need a part replaced... but... One time our department got restructured at the University of Mass where we now had oversight over a couple other departments. And they had this girl who was their "tech". Anyways, one day she calls me up and goes "I can't get my sound to work!", confused as to why she just didn't figure it out herself I tell her "did you check to make sure there's power to the speakers?" She says "Yes". I tell her to crawl under the desk and check the cable to make sure it's in the right place, she says "yes" again. Confused even more, I figure there must be another sound card and she must be plugging it into the onboard, I asked her to look for another place with a green headphone jack. Sure enough, as soon as she did her Sarah McLachlan CD started playing loud enough to hear it over the phone... Stupid Pseudo IT's, Tech's are teh Pwn3r...
