    Most stupid waste of $700 I ever saw

    what's not not funny is that Gigger Hertz/Mahx Maccotry is a serial troll. having the same suspisions as honold, I thought I'd see what I could dig up and lo and behold, he is indeed a troll and long time troller at that. he is best known as Trollaxor. the proof: http://trollaxor.com this...

    Secure Digital Memory

    I've been using a SanDisk 256MB SD card (SDSDB-256-768) for about 7 months now and it too has always worked flawlessly in my Casio EX-Z3 digicam and HP PSC2210 printer and as well, the local photolab's Agfa card reader.

    How do people meet people?

    it's different for everyone. you get what you get. it's rediculous to suggest you've experienced no more than minutes of happiness, be it in love or friendship.

    Online IQ test

    don't take too much stock in what you score on this test. I've done a heap of IQ tests over the years, both properly tested and measured in a controlled environment and quite a few "reputable" ones on the net. 3 were proper tests and another 6 or so were the reputable online tests. the lowest...

    How do people meet people?

    my comment was not intended in any way as a "accusation" rather it was a statement of my thinking. it's not a nasty thought, just a thought. you see the thing that doesn't add up to me is the fact that you say that you're most comfortable with yourself and have no desire to interact socially...

    hmmm, is it just me that thinks that if Merc were suggested the ideal place to go and meet people, he wouldn't anyway?

    Yet another reason to like Autralia

    10 years is a loooong time. better perhaps might be 1-2 years with a review nearing the end of each term. would definitely be unreasonable to some, including me. so sad but so true. who has the right to qualify me as being fit for parenthood? I say no one but my partner and me. in no way is...

    Zip files....drawbacks?

    normally I'd suggest you try a few other tests or another machine because obviously something is wrong with they way you've run your RAR test but ... given how you so easily dismiss what's been said by timwhit and myself (with a lack of apparent testing on your behalf), it's obvious that...

    Zip files....drawbacks?

    I use RAR compression personally. WinRAR is a great tool that allows you to test and repair damaged archives as well. compression is comparable to ZIP and you can choose different algorithms for different types of backups, eg multimedia type files. a more recent feature in WinRAR is the ability...

    amusing police radar story from UK. apparently true.

    I've been using mobiles for about 13 years now. my 1st was a bulky NEC that was still on the analogue network and not long after I moved to the then new digital network and the 1st of the small Ericssons GH337. iirc, I paid around AU$1600. silly, silly me. since then, I've had various Ericsson...

    donuts aren't as hugely popular here in Oz as they are in the States so there isn't such a large range here. I don't klnow of any specialist Donut stores anyway, perhaps some of the other Aussies do though. of the kind we have here, they are pretty much only plain, glazed, jam filled or a...

    my thoughts are with you CityK. as horrible as this time is for you now, it's also the very best time to show your dog just how much he means to you. no doubt he loves you very much and it'll be you your true friendship, love and affection now that will to keep him happy more than anything.
