Reporters sometimes amaze me. Rushing headlong into the storm to report what it's like. "OMG honey, turn on the tv!! The wind is blowing REALLY HARD!! And LOOK!!! There's a LOT of RAIN!!!!" Every channel has the same theme. Someone standing outside the hotel with a cameraman (who I bet is wishing they were inside) during the storm and getting tossed
Welcome to the 'dark' side.... if there was a way for me to get an IV bag of the stuff every morning, I would..
Back in the early 90s, I worked for a small computer repair company. One day one of our big clients called and reported that his monito lost all color and was no longer visible. I took a new monitor out to his site, and replaced the old one (not having found anything wrong with the old one). After several days of him calling and reporting the same problem at the exact same time each day, I made sure to be onsite at the end of the week before he could c
I thought the reason the left was against the war was because of the OIL we would be stealing from Iraq? $2.89 this morning at the pump, not seeing any of that stolen oil...
Nowadays, it's not all that hard to find someone who is into 'gadgets' or 'tech toys'. Going out and buying the newest bluetooth enabled toothbrush, or WiFi toaster. Well, my wife is not one of those people. Now, I have tried in the past, to get her into it. I've bought her those little $9.99 Radio Shack 'Pre-PDA' devices, but she would never us
Well, if you are interested in a new operating system with no fuss at all, may I recommend Knoppix? www.knoppix.org. Just download the ISO image, burn to cd, boot from the cd and enjoy a Debian/KDE configuration. Then, remove the cd when you are finished and go right back to windows.

Is the 8879 E-Filing Form for federal, or is state included? Just kidding!!
I've always been somewhat of a procrastinator. Putting things off until a later time. waiting until the last minute to get something done. Such was the way I viewed weight loss. I'd give it a shot from time to time, not really putting in the effort, because, somewhere in the back of my mind was the little voice "oh, there's plenty of time. You can have anoth
Thanks a lot! I'm trying to create a simple desktopX toolbar for my wife that can give her the local weather information. 5 day - radar pic, etc. I went and got a vb6 for dummies book but all it told was how to use files you already have on your hard drive. This will help a whole lot. Once again, thanks!
Does anyone know how to create a small script to show an online image in Desktop X? I'm still new to Visual Basic...any help would be appreciated...
Ok, so, I'm flipping thru my VB6 for Dummies book, and I am trying to figure out how to create an object that opens an online image. What I want to do is create a small icon that when I click on it, it gives a 5 day forecast from the local tv station. (http://images.ibsys.com/ral/images/weather/auto/5day_400x300.jpg). Is there a way to create a small box in DesktopX that opens and just shows the picture? (flips thru the Dummies manua
Lets see, there was New Shmoo Adventures, and Wheelie and the Chopper Bunch When I got older, it became Thundarr the Barbarian and Dungeons and Dragons....(remember those cartoons?) Have I dated myself?
Ok, I admit I am a little behind in responding to this, but hey, I wanted to offer my opinion on it. Regardless of which side of the aisle you are on concerning pirating music/movies, here is a thought. Treating your customers like criminals is always a bad business practice. They only true way to eliminate piracy (and I know that it cannot be 100% defeated) is to offer a low cost alternative. ITunes and the like that offer music for

Over the holidays, my wife's work had a holiday party for the staff. It was what one would consider the typical 'office party'. Live DJ, Open bar, etc. Nice little restaurant theme overall. Anyway, we were in there with I believe two other office parties, from other businesses in the area. From a money making aspect, I can see putting as many people as you ca
Here's one for you. Back around 1993, I wasa working for a computer company in my hometown. We sold a computer system to a local business. Well, every day about 4:00 he would call and state the monitor colors were fading out and he could no longer see the screen. We went out there 4 times that week and would replace the monitor in the morning. Well, Friday rolled around, and I made sure to be at his office at 4pm. I walked into his office jus

Well the thing that I find most disturbing is the fact that, instead of being tolerant of all religions, they simply 'do away' with any type of display. Want Kwanzaa lights downtown? Or a menorah display at a school? I don''t mind. In fact I look forward to learning about the other religions and seeing their displays. But the fact that the norm seems to be to just do away with any display upsets me. I thought it was Freedom OF Religion, not F
KingBee, I honestly cannot see how you cannot see the attacks on Christmas in this country. Let me cite a few examples. Here in my town, Raleigh, No christmas lights. My son's school no longer celebrates christmas, they have a 'winter holiday' party. My work? Can't mention the C word here, and there can be no display of lights, bows, holly, or anything. It's like people are becoming afraid to mention christmas for fear of offending someone.

My wife and I took our daughter (who just turned ten months old last week) to the pediatrician about a month ago, and he noticed something odd about her 'soft spot'. So he recommended we go to the Childrens Hospital in Chapel Hill (NC). The doctors there this past week infomed us that she has Craniosynostotis. Basically two of the bones in her skull are prematurely f
