5th grader classroom scandal
Doesn't surprise me one bit. When I was in high school, when you would walk in the boys bathroom there'd always be having somebody having sex in the bathroom. Its just part of life. Young kids think its cool to have sex. Oh well, they'll learn when they get an STD.

Guns: will a ban reduce crime?
Before you comment, No I didn't read the whole topic. The legal age in the USA to use a gun is 16, but that is only when hunting with somebody over 18. You must be 18 to legally own a shotgun or rifle. The legal age to bear a handgun is 21. To legally bear it in a concealed manner requires you to go to a courthouse or sheriff's office and give 2 references and a bunch of other information and get approved for a concealed weapon license. To all of you people saying it'd be hard to kill multiple people with a knife, I have a couple examples for you: throwing knives, throwing axes and throwing stars. Not quite as quick as a bullet but if you have enough skill you can throw them without the person getting a chance to move.

Firewall on Xubuntu
I'd suggest using iptables. It doesn't come with a GUI or anything, but type "man iptables" in a terminal window and read it.

Spliting The Bill
You forgot an apostrophe and a full stop in your last sentence. Also, you need to capitalise the first letter of every sentence. Oh, by the way, it's spelt "spelt". I'm sorry, but I have to do this considering how you're acting. It can be "spelled" or "spelt." It is indeed a matter of preference. You're supposed to put a punctuation mark inside a quotation mark if it is the last character in your sentence. I'm sorry, but I don't like grammar Nazis.

Switching to Linux
Last I knew Trillian didn't have a Linux build. Did they decide to make it Linux compatible?

Spliting The Bill
If I'm with a girl, I pay the full bill out of natural courtesy. If I'm with a guy friend we pay for what we had. I usually tip around 20-30% depending on how many cups of soda the person got me. Yeah, I drink a lot.

Switching to Linux
Natively, nothing but FireFox will run. With WinE, WoW will run, I have no idea about MSN though but there's gAIM for that.

Switching to Linux
The user interface is so much more customizable than the windows UI without any hacks. At first it'll be a little confusing but not too hard. Most distributions have a package manager to allow automated installs of most programs. For instance, Ubuntu which is based based off of Debian has "APT.", Gentoo has "emerge", and there are a bunch of others.

Ah, yes .visible = false. :P My apologies, I haven't coded Visual Basic in a couple of years ever since I've moved onto C.

Soccer or Football?
I call it soccer when conversing with friends and football on this forum because a lot of the people call it that. American Football as you see it today is a modified version of the original American Football which is based off of rugby, which happens to be based off of football(soccer for people that call it that.) http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Why_is_Americ ... 'football'

Boot Problems
I had the same problem with my laptop for quite some time. It eventually resolved itself but it would happen every so often after that. I think its from the processor getting too hot. It usually only happened for me when my laptop shut off from overheating.

What piercings do you have?
I used to have my lip pierced when I was younger. I had it for about a year then I was hired for a job and I took it out for 30 minutes. It healed over after 30 minutes which really sucked. I'm glad I got rid of it though. It was a stupid thing to have.

Visual Basic 6 help
I'm not going to give you code but here's a cheaply done description on how to do it. First, append the username and password into a string seperated by the seperator you'll be using in the file if you are using one. Next, open the file for reading. Next, instr() the file for the user/pass combo. Next, close the file. What I mean by append the username and password into a string seperated by the seperator is: dim strBlah as string strBlah$ = username & ":" & password That'd obviously be using : as a seperator, so in the external file all usernames and passwords would look like username:password Another way you could do it if you want 2 seperate files for the passwords and usernames is to use 2 arrays to load the usernames and passwords then check to make sure the indexes of the arrays are a match as the username and password.

GUI in Microsoft Visual C++?
There are 2 ways to make a GUI. 1 is dialogs, the other is Windows API. I suggest http://winprog.org for a few basic tutorials on both. I have no idea about the books considering I never read a book. I learned through trial and error.

Autoer In METAL DRAGONS?!?!
Galaxyg? Honestly, in RSC I didn't talk too much unless it was to friends. I got accused of auto mining when I power mined at iron from level 60-76. They'd accuse me for about 5 minutes, then I'd finally reply and tell them I'm not in the mood to chat.
