  1. OT - Happy 4th of July

    I'm not sure if it's a question of being Catholic or not, but what I do know is that I agree with Martin. Too much holidays and siesta time. Well we don't have the siesta time nor the tea time. After the government forbade us to smoke indoor establishments, there is the smoke time for the smokers. If not there's always the coffee break. One way or the other the breaks are institutionalized. For me the main culprit is the sun and the good weather. If you Finnish would end up living here, you'd become also lazier with the hot.
  2. OT - Happy 4th of July

    One day later and it would be in the infamy day. Portugal is the country of holy days. So we have more than 1 day to celebrate such matters. 10th June - Day of Portugal which is the date of the death of one of our most illustrious poets, Camões. It tells really which kind of people we are, doesn't it?! 5th October - Day of the Republic 1th Dezember - The day that we win back our independence from our Spanish neighbors (brothers).
  3. Just for curiosity, has anybody tried this? http://facetracknoir.sourceforge.net/home/default.htm
  4. OT Lovely way to spend an evening

    It's big. Better not tell my fishing adventures.
  5. worst luck ever :(

    Lou, how many times have you used that speech....
  6. worst luck ever :(

    No. You can tell her the story of Sanson and Dalilah. And explain to her that story was pure symbolic of how the men function/work. Tell her, in your case the joystick and TrackIR are like Samson's hair. Without both you're powerless and at a certain point impotent (you've to exaggerate a little). Keep the focus on the story. Show her how you're feeling devastated and miserable.
  7. You need to have Java installed. A lot of programs need Java. No problem m8. http://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp Just download and install it.
  8. I use this utility. Temp File Cleaner http://download.cnet.com/Temp-File-Cleaner/3000-2094_4-10628816.html But a few things I've to warn you: First when install, choose custom install and unmark the fort two options ( set temp file cleaner DB as......). Freewares have a certain tendency to install toolbars nowadays. It's part of the sponsorship programs. If you've a TEMP folder with your own temporary files (I create these temp folders where I store files that are not still classified) be sure to unmark the option "Root Temp", otherwise the utility will erase all your files in your Temp folder. Yes it happened with me when I run it for the first time. But because I've always installed an utility to recover delete files in my machines, I end up having no problems in recovering those files again. Before you get used to the program I advice to do a test run, and there you'll check if there's any file in the generated log that you didn't intend to delete it. I usually don't use the advanced options. It's a perfect tool for deleting superfluous temporary files. Run it once in a month routine. And look at your Flash player settings. http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager02.html I know, know.... It's too much info for a Neanderthal computer-wise. But you asked. By the way you aren't a Neanderthal computer-wise. I know them very well. You aren't one of them. You're more XIX century type, and you're leaning how to use the steam. In that scale I'm learning the secrets of mass production with Henry Ford.
  9. Even Combat Ace. Combat Ace is a bad example. Besides sponsoring is needed.
  10. Never happened with me, so far he has only messed with my IP network fixed structure if I let him solve a IP conflict. So far he has only messed in the local machine. But I wonder how could he have reset your router. Each brand has different software.
  11. Yes James, I endorsed both of them. I used both with Firefox for more than a year. Noscript is annoying, because each time you visit one new site you've to give him authorization to load the scripts. But it keep you much more safe. It's the best first line defense you can have against spyware. You can't imagine, until you have noscript, how many scripts are running inside a simple website. Adblock is a complement. You'll have no more banners with ads.
  12. + = better spyware control
  13. Great, free online backup app

    Yes UK. It's even used in small business, this way they get a common share space working outside their file servers. I personally use it for more than two years, it works well for sharing files. I wished only a better upload but the main culprit is my connection.
  14. Computer tech problem

    How did you traced it? Besides you've disabled in the BIOS. Are you sure it's the network card?

    Ahahah! No, not the barber..... :whistle:
  16. P4 DEVELOPMENT SCREENSHOTS Discussion

    ... and an occasional virtual visit to a certain kind of establishment where virtual woman can recreate the virtual warrior.
  17. P4 DEVELOPMENT SCREENSHOTS Discussion

    Pol that first one is really, really good. Filled with ambiance. When, Pol, but when? I just hate to be teased this way.
  18. P4 DEVELOPMENT SCREENSHOTS Discussion

    Lovely BE12. Thanks Pol. Keep posting them, please.
  19. OFF In the Workplace.

    Sad to hear that Flyby PC. It seems there's no place in this western world where things seems to be working fine.
  20. P4 DEVELOPMENT SCREENSHOTS Discussion

    Great shots. You're getting us hyped. Thanks, Pol.
  21. OT: A New Project Followed Me Home

    In a certain way I agree with you, Olham. The old cars have the charm of being old, while the new seem to be soulless. We're in a age that begin to value the old, However there still are fine designers. @jwrich Wow.
  22. OT: A New Project Followed Me Home

    I just love that MG, Lou. It's absolutely, absolutely gorgeous. Even that red colour, although I hate red for cars, is nice. Well, I'd change for green, probably. But red is common with MG.... Edit: I'd also change those rims. Are those the originals?
  23. A vid you may not have seen

    This isn't looking so good, but of special interest to LOU...LOTS of uniforms and medals.... And now I know why Lou like medals and uniforms... Sorry UK, I've just derailed your thread.
