@Zxian(aka DroopieDrawers)- Have you posted pictures of you tower with the HDs suspended by underwear elastic yet? DL

A free tiny application: EVE I don't know if EVE will fit all your criteria but it's small at 74K. If you go for something like a CAD program, then try Turbocad as it is one of the least expensive and there are some simple 2D CAD progs for free. DL

Do a little dance... Make a little love... Get down tonight... *wiggle wiggle* Wait a minute, are those lyrics meant in a sexual context? Well, I guess it doesn't matter on birthdays. Ha-ha! Happy birthday guys. DL

My part is easy. Welcome to MSFN. You will find several people who like some of the older games in the gamers forum and giving and receiving advice or help all over the place. Enjoy. DL

If you are not trying to save any data off the first partition, then all you have to do is delete both partitions and then create a new one with all available space. If you are trying to save data, then copy the data to some media and then do as above. DL

It dawned on me later but the vid has 'FLIR' on in. I thought that was only used on aircraft. DL

Let's hope it doesn't flash. Man, we're down to analyzing a fart. Wrong angle of flow? Acts like it isn't even passing through fabric. That's an aweful lot of gas. So who is a member of the blue flame club? DL

You get bonus points if you spot it first. DL

Fake. Wrong 'color'. Warm=light. And heaven help anyone near me if I did one that size. DL

You're welcome. Oh, nm. j/k Good job. Answered your own question in 53 min. Thank you for posting the your solution. DL

Thank you. And one more website to at to my bookmarks (that I can't even go to all the sites) Appologies and I hereby un-hijack net_user's thread. DL

That's pretty amazing. What is really cool is getting to 'watch' someone do it. DL OT: and I'm only asking this question because I saw it on the site net_user led me to. If you open a new instance of notepad in Win XP, type in "bush hid the facts" (no quotation marks, no period, capitalization doesn't matter), save the file and re-open it, why do you get the results that you do?

An interesting article. DL

Could Apocalypse137 run an nLited install on a GW? DL

@vezwoarang-Nice, elegant. @XPero-Nice take on the theme and a beautiful shot. Transpancy works well with it. DL

And what happens when they apply technology like what Sainul Abideen has worked out to this? Dual layer! There would be no limit to the amount of data that, let's say the government, could be keep on you. Video quality!?!? 'Brave New World' feelies come to life. How would large, data-centric, businesses benefit? Who would need one of our standard HDs? They wouldn't hold anywhere near the same amount of information. Meh! Nobody will need that much. Just don't quote me. DL

Happy birthday Rip. DL

@ripken204- Almost everything that has been written in this thread is true, accurate and some good points have been made. Your observation is real. Games are so well 'written' that they are addicting to some and that includes adults. I know one person whose parent (making them my age) that went bankrupt due to addiction. And don't even get me started on parents that allow or don't monitor what their kids watch on VH1 or MTV. DL

I agree with what crahak said. A good single question would be: How many kids do you have? I'm not asking anyone the question. It's just that with each generation, the worlds population goes up. If everyone limits themselves to two children, then the worlds population will slowly go down. If you only have two children, then you will have more to offer each, including space on this planet.

I recently received some promotional DVDs that were from the UK and as we already know, they won't play on a regular DVD player. Wrong region. I'm in the USA. 14 DVD videos and VLC played them all. It took it a couple of minutes to digest some of them but it played them all. DL

And the last version of the package is dated 2004. DL

When all else fails, use VLC. I'll have to go back and have another look at some of the other programs listed but more often than not, vlc will play stuff that other programs fail on. DL

Happy Birthday. DL

Well, I sat through one of those conspiracy vids and it was a long one. Interesting things to note: *They talk about 'explosions' prior to the collapse commencing and as evidence they show an external shot, you hear a boom and then you see the sides of the building blowing out. Well, it looked to me like the sides of the building were bellying out before you see any of the sides blowing out. Looks to me like the exterior wall was bowing and holding up pretty good and the collapse had started on the interior first. But that is only what I could make out from the vid I saw with a regular video program. Also, if demolitions were used to get it to fall on it's own footprint, they failed in one structure because you can see the top toppling to one side. *They had a photo of a main support column that had an angular cut in it like what would be seen in a demolition. Only problem was, even in the poor image, was that it had been cut with an oxy-acetaline torch. That was very clear and obvious. *'Explosions' in the lobby and the wreckage therein. If the damage to the lobby was from explosions in the building, then why is there glass on both sides of the frame? Sound and shockwaves travel faster through denser objects if I'm not mistaken. These guys were at the terminating end of the shockwave and it had nowhere else to go. *They comment on the damage to nearby buildings and how could the material get that far out without explosives but fail to note that many floors of side structure peel away and lean out before collapsing and that isn't taking into account any of the spring action you can get with steel. HereThis conflicts with what some are saying: Here.I've heard mention of asbestos in the buildings and it did not have any concrete in it's core.This quote contradicts some of the above and contradicts what is shown in some webpages: HereThis webpage also points out that the structure is different than many other steel structures in that it used the 'hollow tube' design so the inner support columns would not have been as stout as in other buildings and the floor space was wide open with no columns and trusses instead of beams.*The narrarator also talked about how the building was air-tight, blah, blah, blah and he quickly mentioned and continued on without giving it any significance, that oxygen had to be introduced into the structure for people to breath. Excuse me? (Don't remember if this was in the vid I just watched or another one.) *The last thing in the video and the last for me in this topic is the recording of Christopher Hanley and Kevin Cosgrove in their final moments. You hear floors collapsing, Kevin screaming and what you don't hear is sound from an explosive device. Video is here. DL

Here it's one of the forums. DL
