Wii launch countdown!
Do you know how that bat works? Do you know how the Wii controller works?

Trouble with my iPod
Yes, provided that: - You know the location of the songs from limewire on your hard disc. - They are in an iPod-readable format (so not .wma, .ogg, .flac).

Whigs and Tories?
Tories is a term that is still used, particularly in informal circumstances.
-
Whigs and Tories?
No. It is the Conservative party (a.k.a. Tories), Labour and the Liberal Democrats. 3 primary parties.

Whigs and Tories?
I'm British, voted in the last general election a few years ago and I've never heard the term whig.

Who is better at parking? Men or Women?
When was the last time you heard a dumb blonde comment directed at a man?

Windows Home 32bit vs. Pro 64bit
It is indeed easy. It just comes up shortly after POST asking which OS you want to boot. In my opinion XP x64 isn't worth it. A friend of mine used it and he said there were plenty of programs which were incompatible and it was really hard to find drivers.

Kramer's Racist Remarks.
That can refer to a man too.... ...At least in prisons.

Who is better at parking? Men or Women?
It says that people are prepared to have a laugh at each other. There are plenty of jokes about men as well, being afraid of commitment, thinking with our genitals etc. - we don't whine about that.

power cord not long enough - no extension cords?
If you could[n't] care less to begin with, why did you make the first (wrong) post? Your MO seems to be 'get proven wrong, then act as though you didn't care anyway'. It is kind of fun for the rest of us though.

Got requirments? EDIT: 2 new questions 21/11/06
You need to have a directx 7 compatible graphics card - not just directx version 9. You need to find out what graphics card you have. Start > run > "dxdiag" > display tab.

I guess if you were in charge we'd only be allowed to tell knock-knock jokes. I agree with this.

1 quick ram question
If you have 4 slots you can have 4 sticks... You'd need to look up your motherboard's details to find out what the maximum capacity is though. It is no good having 4 slots and trying to fill them with 1GB sticks when your motherboard only supports up to 2GB in total.

"User was warned for this post" etc.
This is just an idea, not necessarily a suggestion. It may have problems and I haven't thought it through. This is a post to solicit opinions. On the somethingawful.com forums (which admittedly don't have so many young users), when someone is put on probation (temp ban) a message is edited into the post that warranted the probation saying "User was put on probation for this post". This allows others to see what sort of posting is discouraged - rather than them having to interpret the rules for themselves. As it stands, the other users won't know if the post just warranted a lock/edit or if it was bad enough to warrant a warning or ban. I'd like to see this on tipit when someone is warned or banned. Seeing as a mod usually intervenes and posts a message to the effect of "don't do that" it wouldn't be much effort to instead edit the user's post and add the "User was warned for this post". Not only would it serve to show other users exactly what kind of posting is discouraged, it would also be a form of minor castigation. Speak your brains.

You talk as though we didn't already realise that.

Power Supply and Graphics Cards
Yes, that should be okay.

What are you listening to right now!?
Since when is correcting someone petty? I was just letting you know the correct title. There is nothing petty about that. Complaining about it - now that is petty.

An alpha particle is a particle. When you put 'alpha ray' into wikipedia you will see it is actually alpha particle. It is a Helium nucleus. How could it be put more simple? An alpha particle is a Helium nucleus. Which is a particle. It has nothing to do with waves or rays. Google define's definition of alpha particle Guess what? All of them refer to it as a particle because that's what it is. Even if you search google define for alpha ray you'll see it described as a particle. Yet again: alpha particles have nothing to do with waves, mechanical or electromagnetic. They don't behave like waves, they behave like particles. Because that's what they are. When will you admit you're wrong?

It's Novocaine For The Soul. I'm listening to Capdown - The Neverlution.

Hidden system volume information folder
It is used for system restore information. It is not malicious.

Do you care about HDTV?
Some people just aren't interested enough to notice a difference. The same as how plenty of people couldn't tell the difference between a game running at 1024x768 and 1600x1200 - they just aren't interested enough to know what each should look like.
-
Who is better at parking? Men or Women?
Yeah, because women are bad at it and get their husbands to do it. It is as though, in general, women and reversing don't mix. At the supermarket I see them trying to go forwards into a space and taking several shots at it before finally being straight.

Less than half that, I think.
