    Curses! Waiting a week between episodes = BOOO!

     

    Anyway, I'm guessing Anders' deal with the raider is that he sent the signal to the Cylon to call of the attack (subconsciously) without the raider really realizing it...doesn't explain the whole fleet, though.

     

    Nice cliffhanger, but we know she doesn't dead the pres.

    I'm on the site right now, and as expected it doesn't work, probably they are just not interested in wasting bandwidth on Europeans.

     

    Anyway you can't download anything, it's a streamed browser plugin, either media player or flash. So unless you are savey enough to get around that, it's pretty useless.

    The Downloadhelper Firefox plugin lets you download embedded flash videos... But I missed it due to work :sorcerer:

     

    No green and no BSG make Arkan something something... :p

    What does that mean if you live in Europe, I can never figure these things out.

     

    Don't know...do you usually get the shows when they air? If not, I'd say this is your chance to watch it at noon EST...what is that, 5-6pm for you?

     

    I just hope Download Helper recognizes it, so I can save it and watch it without interruption...

    Bypassing wifi router encryption?

    No, I'm not asking how you do it. I just wanted to point something out.

     

    I recently moved as some of you are aware. Well, I had several open wifi access points I have been using. Then one of the had encryption put on it. Well, sometimes I have to cycle through the access points for a better signal, but I have about 3 that are always within range and set to automatic. The funny thing is, that when it cycled back to the one that had the encryption on it, it automatically connected! I didn't have to enter a key at all. What could cause this I wonder? Magic? :thumbsup:

    Biggest nonsense you've ever seen from a game.

    Bioshock mouse control when in menu and hacking. Its horrible for PC. I can't seem to find a real fix anywhere.

    What's wrong with it? I never noticed anything that wasn't "standard" for using mouse.

     

    For me it was RE4. Whenever they had those situations where you have to push those buttons in sequence. I hated that and it ripped me out of the experience and damn near ruined it for me. Horrible.

    Outlook 2007 question

    in Skeeter's Junkyard

    Not exactly sure how to word my question, but I'll give it a try.

     

    When using Outlook 2007 for my college email, it was set up so that all my e-mails went into the default Personal Folders thing. I've now changed over to Gmail and I want outlook to do the same thing (got rid of the college mail association), but I don't know how to do this. Here's what I'm looking at:

    I'm not sure how to do this to where I just have the two trees, Personal Folders and Archive Folders. There doesn't seem to be any functional difference, but I would rather things be nice and tidy, and I have no idea why my school mail automatically set up this way, but Gmail won't.

     

    I Googled my problem, but didn't find any help, and I'm not sure where else to ask. If you understand what I'm asking, any help (or directions to the help) would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Poor naive fool.:) You will soon run out of space.

     

    That's what everyone is telling me, sans the naive fool, part ( o:) )

     

    Only thing is, I have no idea what I would buy that would take up more space at this point...ahh, the life of a single male :)

    You need to put your TV on a diet. It's fat.

     

    My TV says screw you.

     

    ROFL

     

    I agree it looks like you've got it pretty good. Of course MINE used to look like that, before I realised I could leave it much more messy/ had to squeeze in all my military kit. My second bedroom is supposed to be my office but at present it's mainly just a bergen explosion. :brows:

     

    I only have one bedroom. But so far, I still have way more storage than I need. My huge walk in closet is still 80% empty as is the storage part of my laundry room and both my pantries, haha. I just don't have a lot of excess stuff I guess.

    Nice pad and Im mildly impressed with the attempts at decor, you know, for a bachelor and all. :thumbsup:

     

     

    Haha, yeah, tell me about it. Everything you see was either given to me, or I had for a while. I had a bunch of little silver container/bowls/baskets/etc. And the only thing I could think of to put in them were those little potpourri globes that are all the rage now. But yeah, I worked with what I had.

    Is $1100 much for an apartment in the US? It doesn't sound like much to me..

     

    I live in a crappy student apartment, in a student's area of Uppsala (small Uni town). The house was built in the sixties and has very low standards for being in Sweden. My apartment has three rooms and I pay appr. $740 a month for it. I have NOTHING in the complex, not even my own washing machine! No fire place either.. I'd have to pay extra if I wanted a parking space..

    It's all relative to area, or even street by street sometimes. :)

     

    In "expensive" cities, $1100 is fairly cheap if you're only talking about price and nothing else. Course, size of the rented space + features + area/street is more important in terms of defining what "cheap" is. A 1-3 bedroom, 600sq. ft. to 1500sq. ft. place might be between $1200-$3500 a month where I live. Tiny 400-500sq. ft. studio apartments (those w/out any separated rooms except for the bathroom) might run between $900-$1300. Most apts/condos would have at least 1 covered parking space and complex laundry facilities - even if that only means a single washer/dryer shared by 8 units - but not all the very cheapest rentals do.

     

    Rents were higher a few years ago - they've been going down/stabilized some now. That's based on my observations of the area, others might think differently. :down:

     

    But in some areas of the US, it's a lot cheaper to rent than where I am - ie, you'd get two or three times the rental for the money, so to speak.

     

     

    Yeah, it depends on area. Where I'm from, WV, rent for a two story town house, 2 bed, 2 bath is probably about $600. Of course, WV is the cheapest place to leave in the country. For my size place, it's more like $450 a month. Of course, there are no places in WV that have gas fireplaces, gas ranges, washer/dryer in unit, swimming pool and hot tub, fitness room, billiards lounge, business center, swank lobby area, gated community, etc. $1100 for all of that is not bad, methinks.
