JavaBrain - Are we insane? Will it ever end??????? well, i am quite sane. i have a bit of paper that says so /me writes another one for backup, just in case as for the rest of it, from what i have seen of your minds, JavaBrain, Elf and Doreen all seem quite cute. there are other cute people here, these are just the people i can think of at the moment, so dont feel left out <img
aLiaSro0t, check out how long this thread has been going, and how long it can lie idle before making comparisons. this isnt the worlds most active message board. not all questions get answered. most of us are doing this for fun. on top of that we are at the mercy of time, net connections and interest.
just in case that isnt enough to keep people busy, i have another long standing question. parties. what is this fascination people seem to have with them? perhaps i simply have the wrong end of the stick, but what i have seen over the years suggests that during said events there is very little oportunity for quite and settled conversation with interesting people you may have met there. there is also the paired question of why people seem so keen on drinking lots of ac
i have been pondering asking this for a while, and now seems as good a time as any. has anyone worked out what human males are for? they have many useful and redeaming features, it is true. however, i have always found that human females have SO many more such features, that males pale in comparison.
/me wonders at relative perceptions i only have dial up at home, and from this machine it is hardly any faster. often it is slower to be honest, and certinally more unreliable.
/me waves magic wand to make all humans sensible, considerate and caring beings
Jafo - Feline...in XP you can assign anything after 'D' inclusive to anything you wish yep, found that option it just wouldnt let me rename the boot partition, the spoil sport. well, now it all works, i will join the fun: a: floppy b: none c: win98 on 2 gig fat32 d: winXP on 8 gig NTFS e: games and data, 48 gig on NTFS f: dvd g: cd-rw one
JavaBrain - Hey! Where did everyone go? well, i disapered on several fronts: a) evil monsters keep on stealing the net connection from this machine b) my new home machine arrived, and i spend most of the weekend formatting, installing and playing, so didnt get here c) works continuing attempts to drive me mad are distracting me
we are about equal with the romance thread now. the real question is do we want to go for the first thread to 1,000 posts at wincustomize?
well, for those who care (that would be me ) i may not know how partitions work on modern computers, but it has all come together, and worked wonderfully. reinstalling XP did it, since the existing partitions were renamed, so it went straight onto drive D, which is nice
i think i am getting confused now. this is why i normally leave the hardware to someone else i thought that when partitioning a HD, the first partition was the primary partition. then you partition the rest of the HD into a single large extended partition. you can then sub-divide this extended partition into one or more logical partitions. what i did when i first install
hard giant - How do I get the menus on object bar to pop open on hover like in Windows XP start menu ???????? they just do based on the classic theme's start menu, just make the items "shortcut items" in the "behaviour class", and set the shortcut to point at a folder.
thats exactly what i am trying to achieve. so should creating unformatted extended partitions be enough to get them drive letters before the cd-roms? well, i will try it tonight and find out
Elfkura - I don't know how many guys have asked the same question. "How do I impress that girl?" thats not quite the question i am trying to ask. perhaps i phrased it poorly Elfkura - I've got extremely low self-esteem (to the point there there's almost none) and think of myself a little nobody . sadly, i suspect i am in a similar situation on that front <img src="http://images.s
Glen Eric Reed - Actually, Elf's got a gun to my head as I'm typing. so you want sympathy for being locked in a room with Elf? unless Elf thinks you have stolen the Elf rug i cannot think of a single reason why you should expect sympathy for this situation
from memory, Alexandrie has produced one of the only known smart button skins. this was for the GUI olympics, and had a single letter name, i think Z. i looked at this briefly, and i beleive it was using a skin grahpic for the smart button. i think it still used this grahic for the quick launch menu smart button as well. if so, and this holds for the URL smart button, then looking at how this skin does it should provide the answer. i cannot currently check any of this though
thanks! i suspected it was possible to convert formats, but had'nt yet found out how. i have found a MS knowledge base article that suggests unformatted partitions will be assigned drive letters, so it may be that simply creating the partitons with fdisk before installing will do this. the next step up from that is to format partition 2, and then convert it after installation. yes, already found i cannot change XP's partition letter i have never tried
i have just got my new machine (happy happy happy) and am trying to set up a dual boot on it. it came with winXP, so i have decided to try it. my basic plan is to have 3 partitions. win98 on the first small partition (for old games, testing, etc). winXP on the second partion, and a 3rd data partition. so, i created the first partition and installed win98. no problems. i then installed winXP, creating the second and third partitions during setup. wh
JavaBrain - Anybody know how to get a three year old to stop being an insomniac (no drug or alcohol suggestions allowed!). My 3 year old daughter is trying to kil me!!!! how many hours at a streach can you keep her awake and active during the day? the idea is the longer the day, the more hours she should sleep during the night. well, it looks good on paper this is why
JavaBrain - Which is better first thing in the morning: Sex or Coffee? a) /me thinks mornings should be outlawed, since they are evil b) i want warm happy loved feelings along with someone significant to cuddle. everything else is a bonus
Glen Eric Reed - feline... See, my initial sample of suitable humans must be inferior in life. My time's pretty much split between work and community theatre, and my ability to lure quality humans from that pool seems to be rather diminished as of late. Or maybe my problem is I drink all the coffee myself. ahha i have given up on finding a significant number of wothwhile humans in "real life". you probably dont want to know about the average males around here. enought to
Glen Eric Reed - Elf... The thread length is all your fault! Bad Glen! i am not going to let you get away with blaiming all your posts on Elf. they also contribure to the lenght of this thread you know!
JavaBrain - I'm talking to myself again...I hate it when that happens... /me approves of talking to self its a very good way of getting sensible replies to your questions
Elfkura - Oh he knows he's not getting a promotion from this journeyman, boyfriend or not! =P /me *ears prick up* this suggests that getting on the good side of Elf can help in promotions. /me wonders how to impress Elf
JavaBrain - But, if we started a new thread, we wouldn't be able to beat the length of the "Romance" thread (which, IIRC, was Feline's doing....) /me feels prowd of the romance thread to be fair, the origional insperation for the thread was a comment by Elf, so i cannot claim all the fame. having said that, i think i made nearly half the posts, so that should help make up for it /me *giggle*
