I LiKe BrEaD!

lolz..

I've been playing around with an old microscope for a while, just out of curiosity. The biggest magnification is 300X. What magnification level is necessary to see bacteria/monerans?

Ok, just teach me how to set a cookie and read a cookie.

What is the code for inserting text from a text box into a sentence? I have:

<input type="text"size="12"maxlength="12">

Then, there's a button that "logs them in." A sentence is at the top of the new page that reads

"Welcome, __________!" I want to put what they typed in the text box in the other page in that blank. Is that even possible?

Is there a specific symbol we need to use for the axe? Or can we all draw our own?

Yeah, but can you tell me exactly how to do the registry? I'm trying to "drop my attitude", so I'm going to go pour ashes on my head and completely beg you. (heavy sarcasm)

I accidentally screwed up the Folder Options setting for opening .bat files! Now they WON'T open, they WON'T show the .bat icon, they WON'T let me edit it, and HOW can I fix it so it uses %0 again? Because %0 ain't on the browsing list, and the stupid Windows Live search can't find a Windows-based service. Go figure.

To anyone who thinks we should pull out, answer: If we pull out, what's stopping terrorists from coming over here and commiting more 9/11s?

Now they're more pissed off than ever and will more likely try to get back at us. So until all those terrorists give up or die, there's really no way out of this.

Amen, man. Amen.

There was a WMD. Remember Iran? The nuclear stuff that Bill Clinton, who is obviously very close to your liberal bleeding hearts, sold to Iran is now sitting somewhere in a warehouse, ready to be processed. "They stopped their Xclear program 5 years ago," you say. Yes, they did. 2008-5=2003, when Bush first confronted them about it. All this magical hippie love syrupy poetic crap about "if we respected them they would respect us" is completely moot. Some background on why they're blowing each other up and chasing camels:

Islam is divided into two sects: Shiite and Sunni. The Sunnis believe that Muhammed's son-in-law should have been the Caliph. The Shiites think his friend was robbed of that position. They are blowing each other's brains out because of disagreement over who should head the religion. "Islam: the peaceful path to Allah." Give me a break. And, do you know what it is in their religion to do? Kill infidels. An infidel is anyone who is not Muslim. So Atheists, Agnostics, Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, Deists, Shintos, Taos, (Daos) Pagans, and Mormons are all targets to them. So anyone we send over there as a diplomat would get shot on the spot, even if they were Muslim. Shiites shoot Sunnis. Sunnis shoot Shiites. We are over there because we were TRYING to disarm them of their nuclear weapons and find Osama Bin Laden. The U.N. kept us out for 3 months, and they moved the freaking uranium and Osama fled to Pakistan. Now that Benizer Bhutto has been assassinated and anarchy is taking place, we have probably already slipped covert people into Pakistan..

Yeah, me too. I just have a little toolbar that filters ads out, since I don't read any single one of them anyway.

I can't seem to find that sprite of the ground! You know, on the first Mario, on the first level, the dry dirt with cracks? Does anybody know where that rascal is hiding?

If we made a white history month the ghetto would rise up and waste us all.

I accidentally messed with the program used to open .BAT files and now they won't open!! Does anyone know what the default program is to open a batch file?!?!!?!?!?!

Exactly what "bag of greaseballs" are you talking about?

Al-Queda.
Considering that Saddam (or Iraq in general)
had absolutely nothing to do with 9/11
*ahem*
and Al Qaeda had nothing to do with Iraq until after the US invasion?
First of all, the U.S. was not the sole invader. British and Russian troops were in the Coalition as well.
Secondly, the main Al-Queda headquarters was stationed in Iraq. Was. In the 4 months that the liberals tried to keep us out of the country, they f----- moved it! Osama was there too-we could have ended this before it began if it weren't for the very people who oppose it now!

When?

1998 U.S. embassy bombings
Al-Qaeda is believed to have conducted the bombings in August 1998 of the U.S. embassies in Nairobi, Kenya, and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, killing more than 200 people and injuring more than 5,000 others.

1999 and 2000 attacks
USS Cole after it was bombedIn December 1999 and into 2000, al-Qaeda planned attacks against U.S. and Israeli tourists visiting Jordan for millennial celebrations; however, Jordanian authorities thwarted the planned attacks and put 28 suspects on trial. Part of this plot included the planned bombing of the Los Angeles International Airport in Los Angeles, California, but this plot was foiled when bomber Ahmed Ressam was caught at the US-Canadian border with explosives in the trunk of his car. Al-Qaeda also planned to attack the USS The Sullivans on January 3, 2000, but the effort failed due to too much weight being put on the small boat meant to bomb the ship.

Despite the setback with the USS The Sullivans, al-Qaeda succeeded in bombing a U.S. warship in October 2000 with the USS Cole bombing. German police foiled a plot to destroy a cathedral in Strasbourg, France in December 2000.

Further information: Strasbourg cathedral bombing plot

September 11, 2001 attacks
Main article: September 11, 2001 attacks
The most destructive act ascribed to al-Qaeda was the series of attacks in the United States on September 11, 2001. These attacks destroyed the World Trade Center and damaged the Pentagon in a series of suicide hijacking of airplanes. Bin Laden did take credit for the attacks days before the 2004 Presidential Election.

Other attacks
Other attacks ascribed to al-Qaeda and its affiliates include:

Strasbourg cathedral bombing plot (1999)
Rizal Day Bombings in the Philippines (2000)
Paris embassy attack plot (2001)
Singapore embassies attack plot (2001)
Kidnapping and murder of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl (2002)
Ghriba synagogue bombing in Djerba, Tunisia (2002)
Foiled bombings of Western warships in the Strait of Gibraltar (2002)
Limburg tanker bombing (2002)
Kenyan hotel bombing in Mombasa and the attempt to shoot down an Israeli airliner (2002)
Riyadh Compound Bombings (2003)
2003 Casablanca bombings
2003 Istanbul bombings
Al-Qaeda has strong alliances with a number of other Islamic militant organizations including the Indonesian Islamic extremist group Jemaah Islamiyah, responsible for the 2002 and 2005 Bali bombings; Al-Qaeda in Iraq, and Abu Sayyaf.

Although there have been no identified al-Qaeda attacks within the territory of the United States since the September 11, 2001 attacks, attacks in the Middle East, Far East, Africa and Europe involving extensive casualties and turmoil have been attributed to organizations with affiliation to al-Qaeda, though not always directly to al-Qaeda itself.

Iceland.

That's your false response to that.

We have been bombed 4 times. And they had it set in their hearts to bomb us continually until they could get GIs over here. Is it me, or does that prospect seem a little unsavory? That's why we're in war. Helping Iraq is a part of the puzzle that came later.

I mean, it's the same bag of greaseballs who bombed us 4 times. You've seen pictures of the Middle East. If we lived there, our houses would be draped with canvas to cover all of the bullet holes, and we'd hear small arms fire every day. We are over there so it won't be like that here. If we continued to let them just bomb us, like French, we would have a war on American soil right now. So stop your whining! And just try to say something Bush has done wrong. I guarantee I can show you you're wrong.

I'd have to recommend getting it fixed, or buying a special computer antenna and very skillfully convert it into a wireless card. takes a lot of work, but its do-able.

All right! Thanks for the help/humor, guys!

Ok, I currently use an Apple iBook with system 10.2.2 for basic stuff like word processing and disk burning.. I'm just a preteen and can't afford any expensive hardware. To make it simple, I think my Internet port is broken. Like, it got snapped loose or something and now it won't connect. I have now at my disposal a SurfBoard cable modem and a Belkin wireless router, neither of which I have the faintest clue how to set up. I guess I have 3 options:

1: Get the port fixed in Columbus, MS (Closest Mac place to Tupelo, my town)
Pro: Quick fix
Con: expensive

2. Get wireless capabilities for the iBook.
Pro: Even quicker fix; almost no hardware to fix
Con: I can't find any cards compatible with iBook, and I don't have an AirPort connection, not that I know of.

3. Find some kind of converter box. This is what I want to ask of the NG community. Does anyone know of a piece of hardware that can convert a digital cable connection (Comcast Internet; Cable ) to an analog phone connection (DSL) signal? This would be a good fix. My iBook is equipped with a phone port. To give a clear picture, we get Comcast Cable internet. Could I convert that signal into a DSL signal my laptop could understand? This is a picture, incase my point is still clear as mud:

Lol. I like to use PC's for some things and Macs for other things. I personally think Windows XP is good for writing batch files and running MS-DOS programs. They also dominate most of the gaming industry. I use Macs for Internet and file storage (i.e. school stuff, music,) but mostly as just a main computer. The only time I revert to the PC is if the Mac is having a slow day or it, once in a blue moon, gets a virus. It has never really gotten a virus yet.. PCs are great if you need to do basic types of work, and they're cheap to boot. I would suggest XP over Vista just for performance issues.. Macs, on the other hand, can run some really powerful software. They are used at NASA and at Harvard. They are also used as the interface between a person and a supercomputer or mainframe. They are also good for composing (i. e. Finale 2008) and graphics editing (i. e. Photoshop CS3 and the iWork equivelant) They can't run EXE files unless you use special software because they are UNIX inside and are not DOS with a GUI (Windows) The downside to the Mac is that they're so dadgum expensive.. Almost 2K for an iMac G5... *sniff* I don't own a Mac; I use my dad's MacBook that he takes between work and home. He has an iMac G5 at his office, which he brought home for the holidays (I wrote "Breaking the Block" with GB on that iMac and a keyboard.) iMacs are great in that they're an all-in-one machine with very few ugly cables. I have yet to see a Windows machine that does not need a tower. Tells you something.. Apple has more advanced technology, but that's just because they came first. Microsoft provides what most people need-average OS's for a cheap price. I pretty much agree with the Mac commercials, that Macs are better. But us normal people aren't the people the commercials target. They're trying to talk to buisinesses to switch to Apple machines. Who can afford one for home??!!

My post in the Flash section has yet to be commented on.. :(

I'm making a StarCraft flash, and so far all I've got is the music (by DJNightmare, "Terran Melody, (Loop)")
I need someone to draw the buildings.. Can anyone draw a command center?

Hey! I'm making a Starcraft flash called "Starcraft: A movie." I need someone who is skilled in drawing the buildings in the game. Experiance in at least 1 race of buildings would be nice.. Anyone who can draw Terran buildings, PM me!

It's a freaking cartoon. And I drew the suit just like it appears in the game.

God, yall.. I told you I was almost asleep when I did this... or did I? Anyway, stfu! What the hell is the art forum supposed to be about, dissing people?

Here's the situation:
Drill Alasak-- fuck it up... get oil... run out of oil = no oil plus fucked up environment.

Switch over to renewable energy and you get to have cleaner place, plus-- energy that's cheaper than gas.

Dam... we're nearly finished with the first decade of this century, and we're still not honing up to renewable energy.

You don't know what you're talking about at all. Drilling for oil in Alaska won't mess up the environment if we are responsible. The field in Alaska stretches almost all throughout the state.. this field could match Saudi Arabia. And haven't the Arabs dominated the oil industry since the 1960s? And, what much environment is there up there to destroy? I'm not trying to put down Alaskans, but really, in a state that big which has so much room, we can save more money than your geodesic dome-toilet paper reuse machines by drilling there.

You know what's the most horrific scene from I Am Legend?
Not the monsters-- that one shot where gas was over 6 bucks a gallon.

That happened when the Coalition first attacked the Hussein Regime.

Listen, what you people are saying about that everyone will be driving electric cars by next week is a nice thought, but that is NOT going to happen! Do you realize 1: how expensive it is to maintain renewable resource-powered facilities? I don't care how many, quote, "advances" the liberals say that we're making, oil is still our best choice. Our economy is too dependent on oil to change overnight. And 2: How impractical all the renewable sources are? Hydrogen cars: still need a full tank of backup gas. Ethanol: needs gas to run off of as backup. Electric: Needs gas to run off of to charge the battery. Maybe if you invented a car that would run off your ignorant optimistic viewpoints, the entire energy crisis would be solved.

I drew this last night. It's a pretty good way for me to get back into drawing cartoonish faces and stuff. I decided to try for anime looking eyes.. Tell me what you think! Sorry about the quality.

Also oil fields take time to set up, we're looking at 5 years before we see the first barrel roll out and 10-15 before we start pumping enough just to be self sufficient. Not to mention the years of work just to get the project started in the first place. So by the time we actually get what we need for today out of the ground technology will have progressed enough that our need for oil will have shrunk largely.

It's a nice thought.. but no. Let's tackle the technology we have now 1 by 1, shall we?
Hybrids
Well, they're nice! They use a renewable source and also a gas motor. But notice that you still need a full tank of gasoline to use when you charge the battery or drive to get more ethanol.
Electric cars
Well, these aren't very useful. They don't pollute the road, but the factories that produce electricity burn oil.
Wind Power
The windmills are very expensive to repair, they are very large and noisy, so you won't be setting them in a city. So, they aren't going to be used much except in desolate areas like the windfarm in Hawaii.
Hydroelectric Power
This is pretty useful, but you need a pretty large water source to do it. And certain cities might have a problem with stopping up their biggest lake or river.. Not to mention that it is over-the-top expensive. And they still use gasoline motors and gasoline-driven repair vehicles, so it isn't a total end-all.
Solar Power
Alright, it's cool! Turns light into electricity, right? Well, to make those solar panels, they have to be made from processed glass and steel in a fossil-fuel burning factory, lots of expensive minerals have to be infused (i.e. gold) and to repair them, God knows how much it'll cost..

So.. how these technologies will evolve enough in 20 years to make us completely non-reliant on oil is beyond me. We'll certainly have to develop new ones, but right now, oil is what the whole country depends on.. And would it make sense to break away from oil too soon if the fields were ready for mining?

Ex. Hugo Chavez threatens a trade with the United States... The price of a barrel goes up $2.

Yep. What we're doing in the mideast is a large factor, but they also are just greedy sometimes.
