Search for the other threads. Why should we make the effort to tell you when you can't be bothered to make the effort?

Suggested a dozen times, denied a dozen times.

Where do you SIT ??1?!?!/1!?!?1!?1!?1/1!?1?1!????
Believe it or not you sit on the handlebars and pedal backwards, resulting in you going the way your back is facing.

It's hardly a bike for racing, but when I've saved enough money I should be getting one of these:

Yes, that traceroute is totally normal.
Log in to WoW. Set it in windowed mode. Open up a command prompt like before. Enter "netstat". Near the bottom of the list you should find something with worldofwarcraft or similar in the name.
Whilst still logged on to WoW run a traceroute to that host and post the results - remember that you need to include the port when telling it what host to trace (for example it might be login.worldofwarcraft.com:3745). You have to be authenticated to be able to, that's why you have to do it whilst logged in to WoW.
-
Does it occur on all sites? Try doing a traceroute to a popular one and post the results.
Start > Run > "cmd" > "tracert google.com > C:\traceroute.txt" - open that file, copy and paste the results.

I'm curious as to what 'little mishap' could have been resolved by having a knife?
Maybe he made the mistake of buying something in one of those plastic blister packs that is designed to never be opened by anyone.
-
As long as the knife is smaller then the palm of your hand your allowed to carry it with you, anything bigger = jail/warning, you cant get a license unlike a gun, but its hard to get one for a gun...
No.
The Criminal Justice Act 1988 says you can only carry a folding knife with a blade of less than 3 inches that is not capable of locking. What you described could include 2 inch fixed blade knives, flick knives, butterfly knives, throwing knives, double-edged knives etc. - all of which are illegal.

Indeed, I think I turned it off when I was making an nLite image. I was VERY annoyed to see that one couldn't pre-set all settings with vLite.

Cliffwalking gets a vote from me too. When I'd reached 60 some time in 2005 and there was nothing else to do I went and explored so many places. South Silithus (before it was open) including inside AQ, north of EPL, Hyjal, beneath Dire Maul, beneath SW, behind that gate near SFK and so on. I quit playing before it was removed.

Yes, that's something that catches out those who have 'hide extensions for known file types' selected. Though god knows why anyone would have such an option checked.

fancy laser mouses. :lol:
You can get a wired MS optical mouse for ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã5, or probably $5 in the US (since all too often you pay the same number of dollars for something as we do pounds).
-
No because your saying you can run it on a PC that has like 700mhz and 64mb of RAM. Your the god damn idiot.
You have the comprehension skills of a 5 year old. Read the sentence of mine that you quoted. I never said that.
I said the game was designed to run on a 733MHz CPU with 64MB RAM (it was designed to run on a system with that spec - the Xbox). I made no mention of being able to play it on a PC with that spec. You're the 'god damn' idiot.

It's called being a teenager.

The Iranian sailors who captured the British sailors were obviously sure they were within their rights to do so.
They get them back to land and say to the British "this, position X, is where we found your sailors illegally searching a ship".
The British say "that's in Iraqi waters, we're allowed to do it".
The Iranians say "oh wait, they were actually here, at position Y". They have shown no evidence of where they were at the time, I assume if they had any they would have by now - rather than forcing confessions from the British sailors under threat of imprisonment. All the while the British have said "according to GPS data from the craft itself, the helicopter above it and the craft they were searching, they were at position X".
I am not saying anyone was confused at the time of capture. I am saying the Iranians were wrong. They thought they were within their rights, realised they weren't later on, changed their story and provided no evidence to back it up.

It has happened that MP3 files have been infected through their ID3 tags, though I think most modern programs are now impervious to those exploits.
The larger and more real risk in downloading music is from viruses that may be packaged alongside the files, as opposed to in them.

I don't think there is any dispute over the Iranian territory. Both sides are referring to the same boundary, it is just that the claimed positions of the Indian merchant boat differ.
It is evident the Iranians made a mistake from the fact that the first position they claimed the Brits were at was NOT inside Iraqi waters. When the British pointed that out, they changed their minds - claiming a new position.
Both of the Iranian supplied positions are disputed by GPS evidence from a British helicopter over the Indian merchant boat that they were searching, the GPS on craft the British sailors were using and even the captain of the Indian boat they boarded.
-
Do you think the Iranians were unsure as to whether it was in their waters or not? Do you think there was a doubt in their mind but they proceeded anyway?
-
I don't know. You tell us.
Why would the Iranians take them captive? Because they were mistaken about their position. That would also explain why they released them - when they realised their mistake and they wanted to stop it becoming more embarrassing.

You really are an idiot. You do know that thats for Xbox's. Xbox's and computer specifications are a lot different because there is nothing eating up the resources on an Xbox, but on a computer there is tons. Espicially for Vista. And if you've seen the screens, it has a lot better graphics than the Xbox version.
You really are an idiot. You have said nothing to refute my post about vista being no more capable of 'handling it' than XP. If anything you have supported my argument by stating how vista has more resource-hogging services.

Some of those city CCTV cameras are incredible. One of my friends (whose father is in CID) has had the opportunity to use one and they have such amazing lenses on them that he was able to zoom into McDonald's across the street and read the small print on someone's newspaper. I don't know if they're all that good, but a few in the town centre near me are.
-
I'd say "I hate to say 'I told you so'", but I love to say it:
I told you so.
(About them being coerced into 'admitting' their position.)
So those talking about them admitting they were in Iranian waters (and therefore being in the wrong) can eat their words with a good splash of shut up sauce.
-
I think your missing the point. XP isn't powerfull enough to run it. Either it comes out on vista, or it doesn't come out at all!
Like Nadril said: bull. I already posted the system specs of the Xbox that it was designed to run on. They are almost on a par with my phone, CPU-wise (HTC Universal, 520MHz & 32MB RAM). It is just that they are deliberately making it incompatible to force those who want to play it to buy vista. Hell, I bet one could even emulate the Xbox version well enough if such an emulator existed.
It has diddly squat to do with the power of XP. It has everything to do with MS trying to force people into using a certain OS.
-
not only have they been released, aparently they've all admitted that they were in Iranian waters. (but we all know how reliable the media is)
so i guess you can lay it down to the Iranian govornments goodwill that everything is peacefull. :-k
Read the rest of the damn topic. You are in a country, surrounded by hundreds of armed guards. The country still practices torture. Are you going to say whatever they want you to say?
The iPod conspiracy

iPod batteries are indeed replaceable and always have been, so this thread fails.
When looking at them just now, the most expensive one I found was ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã21 to replace a 60GB iPod video battery. You could buy that, pay someone to fit it for you, wash your dishes and then do a striptease for less than the cost of buying a new iPod. That's not to say you can't fit it yourself though, because you can.
