It's called the Taskbar. As far as I know there isn't a simple utility that allows you to hide the buttons. You can hide the whole bar by unlocking it and dragging the top edge to the bottom of the screen or selecting autohide in the properties.

Neither of those are true though. The lengths are similar and flesh is squishy so people tend to manipulate the measurement to make it fit.

Read the Fudging Question I reckon. IE - when someone posts asking HOW to calculate Pi in Excel then Pi to 10,000 dp's isn't a very useful response.

There's no way a news feed could show that match for quite some time as the rights won't be released.

Fair enough. I thought it wouldn't be that simple. =pi() gives the value to 9 dp's.

If the modem is built into the router or is has an RJ45 port then you don't need a "master computer".

I would also check for malware - download and run Adaware (from Lavasoft) to see what that finds.

There's nothing I've heard of that can do that I'm afraid. I would recommend a router/modem/firewall all in one. Alternatively you could setup a PC to act as a... Sometimes stupid shop assistants are just ignorant of alternatives. He's probably only dealt with people with USB modems so his advice is correct to a point.

I may be off the mark but can't you just use: =22/7

A value that is computed and that depends on the contents of a set of data. Checksums are stored or transmitted with the data. The checksum is used to detect if the data has been altered during transmission or when being stored and retrieved. Receiving programs recompute the checksum to compare with the checksum sent or stored with the data. Checksums may be more than one digit. They are not always the result of addition but may be the result of one or more computations involving addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division. IE - It checks the sum (or other calculation) of a set of data before AND after it has been transmitted either in a program internally or from one source to another. If the figures are different then a checksum error is returned.

As Dave says I would try another CD Drive and plug that into a seperate IDE channel to the HDD you're installing onto. If that doesn't work then why not buy a Linux magazine with a build on the cover disc?

Quote from Tom Bearden: "There are many ways to extract energy from the seething vacuum. Unfortunately, at present our scientific community takes a bizarre stance. In particle physics it is well known that the active vacuum is incredibly energetic. Calculations by leading physicists such as Wheeler show that a cubic centimeter of vacuum (about the tip of one's little finger in volume) has so much raw energy in it that, if condensed into matter, there would be more matter than is observable in the universe through the largest telescope! So even a tiny efficiency of tapping could and will extract all the energy anyone could wish." Seething vacuum? Condensing energy? Hmmm... While the idea is interesting the site seems to be one of the perpetual motion/predict the future/discover the power of backwards speak ilk. If Tom had approached this in a more scientific manner then I might be prepared to read more on the subject. Add to that the fact that most of the links on the home page go on about how wonderful this source of energy is as an alternative to buying oil and disposing of radioactive waste and I'm afraid this does smack of snake oil.

Just pointing out that if he's got a USB modem then it's not going to work with a standard router.

This is true providing you have a ADSL modem that you can plug into the router. Otherwise all you have is a glorified switch.

Something I made a while back:

There's quite a few things I really don't agree with in that comparison.

Multicellular organisms replace worn-out cells through cell division. However, in some animals, cell division eventually halts, and the cell is then referred to as senescent. Senescent cells deteriorate and die, causing the body to age. Cells stop dividing because the telomeres, protective bits of DNA on the end of a chromosome, become shorter with each division and eventually can no longer protect the chromosome. Cancer cells, on the other hand, are "immortal." An enzyme called telomerase allows them to continue dividing indefinitely.

I don't know the figures but the Harrier Jump Jet is an example of a vehicle that does this. It might be worth looking at the specification of it's engines etc. I know it's a lot heavier than a car but it'll give you some idea of the vast amount of fuel it eats just to get airborne.

My car already does that and much more. The whole universe moves around it. According to Einstein at any rate!

Oh man! There's quite a big difference between allowing yourself to die of natural causes when the time comes and blowing your brains out with a gun!

I've found a great one on Reverse Speech. Not only is the site nigh on impossible to navigate but it's based around reaching ones inner soul via interpreting the metaphores of phrases found in reversed speech. The way they twist ABSOLUTELY MEANINGLESS junk to mean that you're suffering some sort of inner turmoil is unbelievable. It even attempts scientific terminology and processes in the most abysmally laughable way. Arg - can't find link, will post it soon.

A more pertinent question may be: "Are non blondes really that jealous of blondes?" Apparently - "Elvis' hair color was originally blonde. He dyed it black because he was a big fan of Roy Orbison"

I didn't understand the whole method from your first post. That explanation clears it up though - and I agree that it works. The hanging method assumes that the paper is a constant density and that the circle can be perfectly cut out.

It does seem that there are mechanisms which "turn off" cell replacement. Research is ongoing but one method of increasing lifespan is to possibly turn off the turn off function.
