I Need Some New PC Advice

Po' Smedley — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 08:05:13 -0400

* I tried posting this 3 times in the Personal Computing section, but the content would never show and I am unable to post any replies in thatg section as well.

Okay..so ZA starts telling me my IP is under attack by some IP as soon as I boot my PC. After 20 or so of these alerts in 3 minutes, ZA shuts down and Avast starts popping up virus alerts quicker than I can send them to the vault. About 25 or so (Literally) alerts later, everything goes apeshit.

My taskbar starts co...

SCATTEGORIES... for fun

Keila — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 07:39:45 -0400

SCATTEGORIES...it's harder than it looks! Copy-paste, erase my answers, enter yours. Use the 1st letter of your name (real or nick) to answer each of the following. They have to be real places, names, things..nothing made up! Try to use different answers if the person in front of you had the same 1st initial. You CAN'T use your name for the boy/girl name question.

What is your name? Andrea

4 letter word: Auto

Boy's name: Anthony

Girl's na...

Finish The Sentence.

messiah1 — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 06:56:46 -0400

The rules:

I'll start a sentence with a word (one word only) and the next poster will finish the sentence. Then, on a new line, that poster will start a new sentence with one word (one word only please). The finished sentence can be as long as it needs to be in order to complete the sentence, however, make sure it's only one sentence. Here we go.

2008 Community Wallpaper

nauticalpixel — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 02:07:55 -0400

Does anyone remember, back in 2004, many skinners, artists and such alike got together and produced a community wallpaper, that we each 'tagged' with our grafitti?

That was about 4 years ago. Many skinners have since either quit, lost interest, moved onto greener pastures or just got bored. New ones have emerged and shown great promise, so I feel it's time for another community wall, akin to 2004's, just newer.

What do you think?

I've made a very suitable background for it but I shant p...

I’m going to shake up something special previously done by Mike Bryant. Now back to Dj Tiesto – Dance Fo...

Change A Letter Game

BX — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 14:45:50 -0400

Hi Mates!

In my childhood, I and my friends used to play a very cool game, which we called "Change A Letter." We used to separated in two teams and started with a word, the other team changed a letter from that word to make a different word.

I think it would be fun to play it again here with a little change. You may add or change up-to two letters and there would be not teams.

Example:
Person 1: Bare
Person 2: Care
Person 3: Ware

So to start I give you a word:

IRS

At the end of the tax year the IRS office sent an inspector to audit the books of a Synagogue. While he was checking the books he turned to the Rabbi and said, "I notice you buy a lot of candles.
What do you do with the candle drippings?"

"Good question," noted the Rabbi. "We save them up and send them back to the candle makers, and every now and then they send us a free box of candles."

"Oh," replied the auditor, somewhat disappointed that his unusual question had a practical answ...
