Keep lifting weights, but eat a lot more protein. Eggs are an excellent, natural way to get protein. Plus, animal protein have several amino acids that plant protein doesn't have. Which is why eggs are a much better source for protein than most protein shakes, which are usually made soy. I'm...

I use the mouse with both hands as well. Usually with my left hand, but I am right handed. I can use it equally well with both hands.

I had a LJ 6L for about 5 years that worked fairly well. I finally decided to get a new printer when it would grab about 20 pages at once when you tried to print something. If you keep it full of paper it still works fine, but when there are less than 30 sheets in it then it has the feeding...

I have a LJ5 that I bought last year for $230, plus it only had about 6000 pages on it at the time. It has been working really well since I got it, but I have only printed between 2000-3000 pages on it since then. I am guessing that it will last me for a long time to come.

I've used Gigabyte motherboards that were utterly unstable too you know. Your MSI board was probably just bad. Every manufacturer makes a board that needs to be sent back once in a while.

It seems a lot faster, but that may be more due to the change in hardware than the forum software.

For comedy I would have to say that Dumb and Dumber ranks pretty high on my list. As do most of the National Lampoons series. Christmas Vacation, Summer Vacation, European Vacation, Vegas Vacation. They're all good.

I can't believe no on mentioned Trainspotting. A great movie in my opinion. I also like Requiem for a Dream. I read both books and considering that they were books first, the screenplays are very well done. I have only seen the Godfather series once, but they are truly great, especially the...

Doug, Have you considered moving the site to Pair or another more reliable provider? What kind of contract do you have with the current provider? I will be in the market for a provider in the next couple weeks like we had talked about before. Tim

Those are some really good quality clips. It would be around 8GB for a 2 hour movie based on the first clip. I have to say subjectively that looks about twice as good as DVD to me.

I spent a lot of time on an iPod forum trying to get the stupid iPod to work. The consensus at the time was that the SIIG card works best with the iPod. And, it works fine now, but why does the iPod need to be so picky? Why can't it work with any firewire card? Sounds like pretty poor design...

My dad bought a 20GB iPod last Christmas. It is cool, but the software they include sucks real hard. It's based on MusicMatch, which is pretty crappy if you ask me. You can get xplay which works better, but it is anything but foolproof. Not to mention the fact that the iPod is incredibly...

I only paid $110 for my HD580's from eBay, but the cables were broken so I had to spend and extra $20 replacing them. I never got to hear these headphones before I bought them, but I haven't been disappointed. I paid $790 for the 2.5i's, which I think was a pretty good deal at the time. I...

I'm sure you have already checked this, but have you made sure that your optical cable isn't kinked and the connectors are securely pushed in. Have you used this cable with another computer so that you know it works. If worse comes to worse buy a sound card with an optical connector. Hercules...

I have a pair of Sennheiser HD580s that I bought a couple years ago. They are still the best pair of headphones that I have ever heard. And I can wear them for hours if need be with no fatigue. I still prefer to listen through my NHT 2.5i's but they are big and make lots of noise, so...

It has nothing to do its Deutsch Heritage. I simply have had nothing but bad experiences with VWs in general. Not that my experience with other car companies is all great. But, the VW experience was not a good one at all. I have a couple friends that have VWs and I swear those things have...

I will never buy a VW for personal reasons. Check out what Edmunds has to say about the SRT-4.

I guess you have never been in a soft-top Jeep at highway speeds. Any car in the world is better than that. The Mustang I had was loud as hell on the highway too, but it didn't really bother me. The Jeep on the other hand is too much I can't handle it anymore it's just too damn loud. I'm...

I haven't driven it yet, I will decide if it has personality after a test drive. I just need to find a dealer that has one first.

Im 6 foot 2 so this might not fit me all that well. Plus the Mazda 6 nicely loaded is more like $24,000 not $20,000. The SRT already comes with every option I would want for $19,995. I really can't afford the extra $4,000. To top it all off the 6 is fairly boring looking. Did any of you...

First of all if I buy a car it can't cost that much money. I have ruled out used cars because I want something with a long manufacturers warranty. The SRT has a 7 year 70,000 mile powertrain warranty. I'm open to suggestions on any new car under $20,000 that isn't slow as snot and has a...

I have been thinking of selling my Jeep lately. Mainly because there are a lot of problems with it, and I don't think it is worth it to get them all fixed. It is a 1998 Wrangler Sahara with 70K miles. The problems are the AC is broken, the cruise control is broken, the horn is broken, the...

You definately don't need a 400W power supply. You would be fine with 250-300W.

That program sucks. My slide show program blows it out of the water AFAIC.

Like right now it is unbearably slow.

Merc, Where was the protest that you went to?

Ya, I forgot to change the exe version number. On the other problem everything seems to work fine on my end. Whether repeat is selected or not the slide show 'slides'. I tested it with as many different variables as I could find, but it seems to work fine. None of that code has really...

I will post my reply here as well then.

I just put up a new version about 5 minutes ago, so make sure you have the latest one. It's not the most simple program anymore, but I am having fun doing it. It is also a learning experience for me. I'm at loss for any new features right now, so if you have ideas I'd be glad to hear them...

I looked at those, but I don't really like the contrast of colors. Plus, I'm pretty used to BlackSoul now. So, I think I will keep on using it. Thanks though. BTW Handruin, did you check out the latest version of my SlideShow program? I really appreciate your feedback and bug alerts that...

I made a bunch of changes and added a some new features. Try it out... Tim's Super Slide Show ver. .25

I like the new default theme a whole lot more than the old white one. I think I will keep using BlackSoul though.

Thanks for the explanation Will. I will use the updated Merge Modules when I get enough feedback to release a new build. Will, do you program VB full time?

I uploaded the new version. It uses the new Visual Studio Installer. Give it a try and let me know how many new bugs I have introduced with this one. Tim's Super Slide Show ver: .21

Will, can you tell me what the updated merge modules do? I think I will stick to the way that I'm doing the registry entries for a little while longer. Will's way is better, but it will be quite a bit of work to integrate it into my code. I am going to try out the Visual Studio Installer...

That's exactly what I'm saying. The easiest install ever.

It has gotta be the tint level, because black absorbs heat very well. Honold, if you get those black seats and they are hotter than hell during the summer, never say that nobody ever warned you.

Merc- Here is exactly what I would have said to the customer, "Hi, I'm sorry but the motherboard in your computer is not compatible with anything except Windows Millennium Edition. If you want me to install Windows XP you will have to upgrade the motherboard and CPU." About 90% of the time...

One thing to add...I am not in support or in opposition of this war. I have friends and relatives that are serving in the US military right now in the Middle East. I just wish all those who are serving a quick and decisive end to this war, whatever its outcome. To lose a loved one (or anyone...

If I can I would also like to vent some frustrations. It is beyond me how anyone can be proud to be an American. That's about the same as saying I am proud to be white, or I am proud that I speak English. To me, to say that I am proud to be an American, is about the same as saying, "I am...

I will try to find a way to ask the user if they wish to overwrite the previously saved show (there has got to be a way every software package does it). On the second point, I don't want to pop up a message box every time the user adds an image. I don't think it's a bug that they can add an...

I will try to include that in the next build, it shouldn't be that hard to fix.

The registry key is created using a standard VB function (SaveSetting). I'm not sure how to create registry entries by any other means right now, but I will research it and find a solution. The uninstall function is made using the same program that created the executable, which is the...

I forgot to take the code out for that. I was trying to make it so that you could left click to advance the slide show and right click to move to the previous slide. But it wouldn't work in the form that shows the slide show, so I was trying it in the other form. I still need to figure out...

Ya, that's one option that I forgot to fix, I will fix it tomorrow and post the fix.

Right now all images do fit the screen. Larger images are scaled down to fit, but smaller images are kept the same size. Do you really think there is a need to make smaller images fit the screen? If you do then I will make that option it is not that hard.

Stop apologizing Doug...it wasn't harsh at all. Tell it like it is, damn it!

I just added the save button yesterday, I thought I had all the kinks worked out of it but I guess not. I removed the option to install an icon by default. I thought it might piss people off. No desktop icon, but I will allow it to make a Start Menu icon. I am uploading a fixed version right...

I have updated my Slide Show program with some new features. If anyone has a few minutes can they try it out and let me know what they think? Also, let me know if there are any bugs or if it crashes on you. I have tested it and have been using it for the past 5 months without any noticeable...
