  1. A guy decides to bring his new blonde girlfriend to a football game. After the game is over, he asks her if she liked the game. She replies: "Oh it was great, I loved watching those men in tight clothes, but there is one thing I don't understand." "What did you not understand ?" And the blonde says: "Well, at the begginning of the game, both teams flipped a quarter to see who would kick off first. Then the rest of the game everybody was yelling get the quarter back, get the quarter back, get the quarter back. So I thought to myself, gosh it's just a quarter!" There was a blonde who found herself sitting next to a Lawyer on an airplane. The lawyer just kept bugging the blonde wanting her to play a game of intelligence. Finally, the lawyer offered her 10 to 1 odds, and said every time the blonde could not answer one of his questions, she owed him $5, but every time he could not answer hers, he'd give her $50.00. The lawyer figured he could not lose, and the blonde reluctantly accepted. The lawyer first asked, "What is the distance between the Earth and the nearest star?" Without saying a word the blonde handed him $5. then the blonde asked, "What goes up a hill with 3 legs and comes back down the hill with 4 legs?" Well, the lawyer looked puzzled. He took several hours, looking up everything he could on his laptop and even placing numerous air-to-ground phone calls trying to find the answer. Finally, angry and frustrated, he gave up and paid the blonde $50.00 The blonde put the $50 into her purse without comment, but the lawyer insisted, "What is the answer to your question?" Without saying a word, the blonde handed him $5. Blond Diary January - Took new scarf back to store because it was too tight.

  2. I am a LEGAL immigrant from the UK. My wife is a LEGAL immigrant from Mexico. We both say throw all the LAWBREAKERS back over the Rio Grande, preferably in body bags. We spent months (years, actually) and tons of money coming here legally and get really angry over these assholes who get mad because we expect them to respect the laws of this great nation. That's why they call them ILLEGAL immigrants - oh wait, the politically correct term is "undocumented alien" (guess that makes it ok) Now if I just kill someone, as long as I dont have any ID I should be able to call my self "undocumented" The funny thing is Mexico's immigration rules for people coming up through Central America (Nicauragua, etc) are 1000 times more strict than ours are, so I always have a good bitter laugh when I hear the Mexican president complaining because we try to catch these fucking lawbreakers Sorry for the political Rant Teds. Its a Super-Hot button issue for me Cool 'toon tho
  3. Eddie Izzard is one of the wierdest, but funniest guys around. Here is the guy doing the same bit live, in case you dont like the lego version, althoug that is totally cool too
  4. do a search for "boots of escaping" Its a scene from Reno 911 I dont know why it stuck, especially as I havent been in prison in years (lol) and the only people I feel up in my sleep is the old lady - when she used to let me Anyway thats where it came from Found a good link http://www.comedycentral.com/videos/index.jhtml?videoId=12355&title=mighty-foes
  5. In the words of the South Park Movie: "It's not a real country anyway" Seriously - Well done, but I dont think 3-2 in O/T constitutes a spanking, more like an oil massage - ha ha ha See you in 4 years in Sochi, Russia
  6. LOL I'm a Metro Detroit resident so we hear a bunch of these. I've also heard we might get a professional football team in Detroit soon too!!! and in the news: Passenger Jasper Schuringa tackled the terror suspect Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab during a Delta flight to Detroit....... Which is unusual since you never see or hear “tackled” and “Detroit” in the same sentence
  7. I would like to know also. My Xfire is nickthegrip I am currently level 760ish will it work for me too?
  8. Yeah, right now it will be more of a pain in the butt than anything else. Prior to owning 7, I had a totally legal copy of Vista home basic on my gaming computer, which sucked. I got my hands (cough, cough) on a copy of Vista Ultimate and when the 'patch' came out, once a week or so I would get an annoying message on my screen telling me the copy of Windows was not validated and probably counterfeit. Nothing else happened, so I simply left it like that and lived with the message. I agree that Microsoft deserves to be paid for developing software, but at the same time, I dont feel like paying 6 times over as, in my house, there are 6 viable computers, and with 7, each one has to have its own, clean copy. For 7 Ultimate, that would be over a thousand dollars and that is simply out of my price range. I also feel that you should get value for money, and while 7 is the best one they have ever produced, I lived the Vista and ME nightmares, so I feel a little vindicated not having clean copies on every machine in the house. They are aggresively pursuing the exploiters. They just busted a 2bn dollar operation in Southern China which made counterfeit Windows products. Makes you wonder just how many fake copies of MS stuff there is out there. Theres a little more detail here on exactly what it will do (for now) http://blogs.zdnet.com/Bott/?p=1759
  9. By the way for you budding pirates (arrgh) the update is now it - it came out last night and it is voluntary, it is called Update for Windows 7 for x64-based systems (KB971033) You have to read the details to know its the activation exploit 'fix' Its only a matter of time now before MS makes it more than a voluntary update though, so if you are pirating and I am sure no one here is (more coughing) I would suggest updating to a legal version soon, but thats up to you Like people say, if it can be programmed, it can be hacked. and I am sure as soon as MS makes it a required update there will be a hack for the fix They say the first exploit came out 2 days after the first beta version of 7 was released!!!!!!! Wonder where that one came from (Redmond, Washington by any chance?)
  10. Well, while we were still together, I would have given my wife a 3. She was cool with me playing as long as it was in a certain time window (which was when her godawful Mexican Soap Operas are on) and the kid was in bed. Now its a little looser and I will give her a 4. We are seperated, but living in the same house. The difference now is I dont have to sit around for an hour 'pretending' to give a crap about what happened with her friends that day, or which color of nail polish looks better on her or how stressful her life is because she dont have a job and has one kid to raise (who happens to be in preschool for over 1/2 the day) I also set up the network so I am hard wired in to the router and i have throttled her wireless so much she cant tell when I am playing and when not
  11. do you have DX9 SDK and turned the debugging on by mistake What this means is something has literally hooked into your game and wont let go, like for example an antivirus program It is also a very common prereq for a wall hack, but lots of innocent peeps get hit with it too. Make sure your PB is updated and it should go away BTW I found this from another forum while "googling" For those of you that play World at War you need to be careful as there is a false positive for gamehook #125134 going on right now. in the last 20 days over 30 people have recieved this violation. Before this there was only 3 violations for this and none for 3 months. I believe it to be one of three things Xfire , rivatunner or a outside chance it could be setpoint software from logitech. I think it is more then likely Xfire as it had a update right around the time these gamehooks started. If you have recieved a game hook #125134 please read your appeal page completely and fully. You have to submit a ticket to Evenbalance FIRST. I see from the list people are not doing this first and starting with a appeal here. Also if you have recieved this please register with this forum and post what software you had running at the time. I believe if we get enough people that had this to post what they had running we can put the warning out to others not to run what ever caused this. Back on july 6 , 2009 over 50 people were unbanned for a gamehook 125122. So dont get discouraged when PB support gives you a generic reply to your support ticket. I believe it is going to take at least 50 of us complaining about this violation for them to even take a look at it. But once they do they will find out what we are saying is true.
  12. I am currently running two FF windows, one of which, or course, is the Xtreme idiots website, the other is wkikpedia. My task manager say its is running around 150,000k. I do, however have a greasemonkey running also for some hmm hmmm hmmm , cough, cough, scripting I am doing. so running it should be less than that. I personally dont think that is so high considering the next item down in the memory usage is RTVscan which is my antivirus and it is using 131,000k. and remember the percentage usage is your CPU, not your memory. Mine says I am running around 22% usage, but 140,000k is around 4% of my memory Just trying to help, though probably not
  13. The sad part of it all is that car is a hydrogen fuel cell car, Hydrogen fuel cells are easier to make and cheaper than the stupid batteries like in the new "Volt" ($40k+ price tag by the way) The big problem is it is really dangerous to fill up, which is why they arent really moving very fast. If you can't get some stupid twat to put out his cigarette around normal petrol in the garage these days (I had one the other day filling up with a lit cigar in his hand), imagine what it would be like around hydrogen. He/she could blow up half a city block just by doing the single most stupid thing you can do while filling up - getting in and out of your car (static electricity from your bum on the seat). It would make for a hell of a Guy Fawkes night for the Brits, or 4th July for the yanks.
  14. Got u beat with my ZX Spectrum (all you Brits would remember this if you are as old and decrepit as I am I actually still had it until about 10 years ago when my Dad passed away. Me mum back in blighty tossed a bunch of my "junk" and this was in there (this is not an actual picture of mine) I bet it would have been worth something to the Smithsonian or something - LOL Specs 8-bit Cassette tape media OS - Sinclair BASIC CPU - X80 @ 3Mhz 16kb of memory That was my first ever computer and it rocked,
  15. Glad to hear it worked out, now if I can just find a hotel with a decent internet connection I can come in there and kick some ass too. Next time that happens and you think it is the HD, don't format it, give it to me. I have a box (USB Disk Dock)you can drop drives in and it treats them like huge memory sticks, as long as they are SATA drives (I think your might be a tad old to be SATA, but you never know). If it is just the MBR that is crapped out you can pretty much retrieve everything before you format it. If it is a little worse I still have some utilities that can recover data from the drive. At least then you dont have to mail it somewhere, although Wiz's offer is way cool. Laz you can simply give it to me at work. I can get my crap from my storage unit and have your stuff the next day. Sorry I didnt know what was happening sooner or I would have stopped you. Well you have an excuse now to load up to Win7, which aint bad
  16. Well, here is a recent picture of me and my kid on our holidays in Cancun, Mexico last year. Its the most up to date, if you dont count the one on the wall in the post office - LOL
  17. I d/l'd it with a bit torrent If you are not cool with that, hit me up with a pm and I will burn a DVD and mail it to you It would only be good for the single player, but it is completely cracked
  18. After venting in another forum, I suggested I would start a thread for stupid lawsuits in this country some of which defy common sense. Lets see if anyone else has any. I am sure there are lots
  19. Ok Sorry for the misinformation One of the ways to do this is when it asks for where you want to make the backup, choose a network location, then navigate to a folder you have already created. The only problem I see is what level of 7 you are using. This only works on profeesional, ultimate and enterprise. It does not work on any of the home setups
  20. Sorry, let me look at a little more. I am on my laptop at the moment (work unit) and it only has XP on it still
  21. Here's an interesting article on how to modify the location of the backup. I hope it helps. This is what I have been using for mine
  22. My favorite is being called a hack when I dont have anywhere near the highest score in a game, AND I have died the most on my team. You usually get one a-hole who just cannot compete and thinks that the only way they can be beat is by a cheat, yeah I'm talking to you Spanky (COD2-CTF). I think he has the 'nick your a hacker' as one of his autoresponses because every time I kill him he says it.
  23. The true differences between Men and Women
  24. Just remember
