  1. Holy cow, worked very well for me, I waited until all the lines seemed to line up (about 10 seconds) and then looked away the wall, it was waving bigtime. Actually worked better for me when not at fullscreen.
  2. Go to Tools -> Internet Options Click on the Content tab In the Personal Information section, click on Auto Complete, and choose the settings you want
  3. 65 runs in 5 games??!?! Go Braves!!!! Cant wait for the game tonight..
  4. I have version 1.5.0.4, and the config is a little different than the older version. Its under the Privacy Section, on the Saved Forms tab, and uncheck the box. Then there is a button at the bottom that says Clear Saved Form Data Now. You might want to upgrade if you dont have the latest, probably increases security.
  5. Two weeks ago, I was researching on the web, and I clicked on a link to a website and it installed a trojan on my machine. I instantly knew something was wrong, an icon popped up on my desktop called Kill and Clean, and something popped up in systray that said my system might be comprimised. The message was actually from the trojan, trying to get me to click it so that it could install other programs. After hours of trying to clean my system throughly of this trojan, my system was still behaving very strangely so I decided to completely reinstall windows. Then I get a call the next morning from my credit union, asking about a bunch of charges on my debit card, wanting to know if they were made by me. Turns out, someone in China had emptied out my bank account. Apparently, the trojan mined my "saved form information" from the browser, which contained my debit card information from making online purchases. So, if you use a web browser and make online purchases, MAKE SURE IT DOES NOT SAVE YOUR FORM INFORMATION. I use firefox and it has it enabled by default. If yours is enabled, clear out the saved information and disabled it. I did end up getting my money back, after filing a police report, getting forms notorized, several calls back and forth with my credit union. Sort of off topic, last night, someone performed a UDP flood attack from our server at work (Denial of Service attack). Turns out, someone in China had hacked our server and used it to perform DOS attacks. What is it with the Chinese? Seems like everytime I see something malicious with technology, it points right to them. Not trying to be prejudice, but I highly doubt American kiddies over here are trying to hack into their servers or try to steal their credit card information. Grrrrr...
  6. Threads are marked as viewed when you click on that particular forum, rather that that particular post. Not much we could do about it now, but maybe the next update will provide that feature. Hopefully I can find time to update before the season starts.
  7. If he stood up because 6 people or so including himself heard his opponent say something against his religion or family relating to terrorism, and you the fans have to suffer for it, then that is really sad. All the more reason he should have just walked away. However, I can see how physical and emotional pain caused by others can be combined to make one make a bad decision in the heat of the moment. Thats great that you support him, I'm not saying I dont, I just dont support what I saw.
  8. Depends on how aware you are of world events. If all you want to see is Islamic Fundamentalism, then thats all you'll see terrorists as. I'm not minimalizing it, I'm just saying, Muslisms areNT the only people capable of exercising terrorism, so for Zidane to use it as a reason to do what he did doesnt make any sense.
  9. I see what you're saying. But in Zidane's mind, if he knew it wasnt true, then why even retaliate? If it was true, and he didnt like the fact, then I can see him exploding in emotion for the fact of the reason and the guy exploiting it. I just dont see any possible words being worth jeopordizing the legacy of your career to many, and letting down your teammates and himself. I remember hearing people saying the most outlandish things to Jordan when he was on the court, and it only fueled him to be more competitive, even overcoming sickness or injury.
  10. Why are terrorists supposed to be Muslim? There are Chechen terrorists, Philipino terrorists, Columbian terrorists, and American terrorists, and I'm sure many more. If he bought into a sterotype then he is dead wrong.
  11. Depends on how faithful you are in your religion. First instinct should be to forgive and forget. No one but a handful of people could have heard what he said to Zidane, and no matter who reported what, it'll never be known for sure, nor is it relevant.
  12. Yes, I saw it. What does that have to with how "all Italians are?"... if they are a dirty team, its a dirty team, not a dirty country..
  13. I really wasnt aware of the injury, I watched bits and pieces of the game. Tugging, bumping, pulling, holding, you have to expect those kinds of things in a physical sport, no? If his arm was that bad, he either should not have been out there, or somehow tried to compensate to not give his opponent the oppurtunity to do that, to the best of his ability. They do the same thign in any sport, go for the injured body part, as classless as it is. I may not know what I'm taking about with soccer, but still, its just not adding up for me as a reason to do what he did. Its good though that people who saw and can recognize his entire career will notice his achievements, but for me its all lost because thats all I'll remember him for.
  14. I dont think that generalizing Italians as being racists carries any weight at all. I know some people in Italy and they can be as culturally and ethnically sensitive as anyone. If the guy had made anything other than a comment to him (I dont count tugging on his arm) such as pushing him or whatever, I could see the reason for standing up for yourself. In this case I just cant see the reasoning.
  15. I cant really agree. Words are just words. He let down his teammates. Why end your career getting kicked out of a game? You can kill somebody the way he hit that guy. Its not like they had just been scored on from a mistake and lost the lead, and the game was closing to an end. He is supposed to be a leader for his team and a role model, not defending his mother if thats what was actually said. Another case of bad sportsmanship. I never even knew of the guy before that game, but once I saw that, it changed opinion of his professionalism, otherwise I would have just said "oh that guy was a really great soccer player"
  16. The worst sportsmanship I've ever seen is in a boxing match I saw many months ago. Cant remember who it was, but the guy did some really appauling things. I was more amazed at how they ended up calling the bout a draw, considering his poor sportsmanship. He hit the other guy when he was down, when his back was turned, after the bout was over, and wouldnt touch gloves. It was pathetic, but the referree would have to be even more pathetic for not DQ'ing him imo.

  18. For Pete's sake, everyone just calm down. Warnings for very inconsiderate behavior have been issued, what we need here is the maturity to know when to just ignore immature responses, on both sides of the argument. Just chill, please
  19. I was noticing how, since there were two 45 minute periods, there is hardly time for a commercial break. I could see how the networks wouldnt like this, more than just world cup footage as ESPN provided, seeing how with basketball and auto racing, you get a commercial break like every 10 minutes. If they went to a commercial while the game is still on like they do it auto racing, you could miss the play of the game.
  20. Hi and welcome to Hawksquawk!
