No GREECE in this Tournament in Sports & Leisure JoeUser Forums

Well, no one really read my last Copa America article , but I'll keep writing because, well, this is EXCITING NEWS! The teams knocked-out in the group stage were no big surprise: Ecuador, Venezuela, Boliva, and Chile. The only borderline surprise was Chile, when Costa Rica knocked them out with a

I HATE SPYWARE!!!!! in Internet JoeUser Forums

Let me repeat: I HATE SPYWARE!!!!! Lately, I have been getting infested with spyware repeatedly, so much that I have to run spyware-destroying software almost daily. It is really pissing me off! I have never really had a problem with viruses because I know how to protect myself from them, but spyware is a different story. I use a combination of Ad-aware and S

Reply to Advertise your Blog in Just Hanging Out JoeUser Forums

I agree. I don't think its much worth it. The main problem though is with this site, we don't have the ability to add the script that is required to be a part of this "blog ring." so i don't think its going to work out for joeusers. sorry.

Reply to What Makes A Good Artist? in Art JoeUser Forums

first off i want to say i appreciate everyone's feedback. secondly, i said in my article that art is first and foremost subjective, and that i think it should stay that way. but that does not deny the existence of the question, "can art be judged objectively?" or in other words "does there exist an objective measure of art's quality". my article was a first rough-draft attempt at answering that. maybe some of you feel the question is worthless

Referendum Today in Bolivia in International JoeUser Forums

Today Bolivia is holding a controversial referendum on what to do with its recently discovered reserve of natural gas. The issue last year caused radicals to oust their President Gonzalo Sanchez de Lozada. Vice-President Carlos Mesa took over, and his strategy is to put the issue to the people in a vote, albeit a cunningly crafted one. The issue is essentially a stand

Ha! Yeah, probably too much so. But I think it fits my personality, don't you think? You'll understand after you live in England, Peski. I'll have to teach you though, not to be a scumbag English premier league fanatic. You should check out the Scotish football league while you're there. The Celtic football club is my favorite.

Reply to My Friend is Dead in Personal Relationships JoeUser Forums

Thank you. I agree that you can't change people alone. They ultimately have to decide on their own. But you can be an influence on people certainly. I think I was a good friend to him while we were close. I just regret that we drifted apart because I still could have been a good friend to him despite his drug use. And maybe I could have talked to him about, and helped him to see the dangers. I don't know. He probably knew the dangers as well a

My Friend is Dead in Personal Relationships JoeUser Forums

I just heard that a friend of mine from high school died tragically. We were good friends freshman year. I even went with his family on their family vacation to Florida over spring break. We started to drift apart somewhat around sophomore year. We remained friendly throughout high school, but didn't hang out too that often. I still always enjoyed his company and cons

Reply to What do you think of this image? in Art JoeUser Forums

i'd like to make a 3D image, but i don't have Studio Max. I've seen several tutorials like that though. If you know of any that use freeware or shareware software let me know. i don't think i'd use it enough to be worth spending much money on 3D software. the earth ball sounds cool. i've seen other earth ball type images on the net, but i'm really looking for something that resembles a soccer ball. thanks for the leads though!

Reply to What do you think of this image? in Art JoeUser Forums

i like it! can i use it on my webpage? where'd you find it? it'd be fairly easy to recreate, i guess. though simple things can often turn out to be difficult. i would just merge an all-white soccer ball image with a globe image. also, i noticed that this soccer ball doesn't have the traditional hexagon/pentagon pattern. more accurately known as the truncated icosahedron. (wow, i'm a nerd!)

What do you think of this image? in Art JoeUser Forums

What I'm trying to create is an image of a traditional black and white soccer ball, where the black pentagons have morphed into the shape of earth's continents. The philosophy behind the image is that soccer, being the world's most popular sport, brings the world together by creating a common interest

How Much is a Gigabyte? How much is a LOT of Gigabtes? in Websites JoeUser Forums

This is an offshoot of my first google article . I started thinking about exactly how much space GMail is really offering. It has been said that 1 GB can hold, on average, about 100,000 to 200,000 emails (text). Google claims it will take on average 5 years to fill up your inbox. But wh

What is Google Planning? Part I in Websites JoeUser Forums

OK. This article is going to have to come in several parts because its getting more involved than I originally envisioned... As many of you know, Google will be launching a new email service called Gmail, which will offer 1 GB storage of emails. Courts ruled recently that it is legal for Google to read these stored emails. (It is also legal for federal
