    I went to turn on my computer today, and something very weird happened. I got into Windows just fine, but a lot of my desktop icons said they couldn't find the target program. I tried to go on my D: partition to look for the files, and Windows claims "D:\ is not accessible. The disk structure is...

    Custom Skins for Windows Media Player

    Just a nifty thing I stumbled upon, you guys probably know this, but I don't care. I've found this works for most movies, but not all. Anyways, start up a video in Windows Media Player, and hit print screen. Then paste it into paint. If you move the picture around, you will see the video in the...

    Forrest Gump

    Why do so many people think that Forrest Gump was a great movie? It had its moments, but for the most part I came away with the feeling that it was just a 'cute' movie. I dunno, I found the movie ok, but definately not something I would bother watching again. I did like Tom Hanks' acting...

    Are you Irish?

    Can Dogs Have Schizophrenia?

    Title says most of it. To elaborate, I'll use one of my own dogs as an example. Shes a 7 and a half year old Border Collie. I got her when she was 2-3 years old, from the local SPCA. The possibility that her former owner may have abused her was mentioned by the SPCA staff. Now time to list the...

    http://www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/americas/08/02/toronto.crash/index.html Its amazing that everyone lived. I'd like to think that this is because of well trained crew and good safety features, but it could also have just been luck.
