Why does it take more resources to run a game in windowed mode? (Stupid question I'm sure)
 
when did google take away the freaking calculator function in their search?
This was really freaking handy.

In Windows 7, how do I make it that Windows Live Messenger being open doesn't count as a "Window" and put it in the system tray?

How do I get rid of the left icon. If I close it, it closes messenger, but if it's open then I gotta click twice to bring up a convo, kind-of annoying.

Just set messenger to run in vista compatability mode. That should put the icon in the system tray.

ok i should have been more specific. I used to be able to take for instance the weight of a lens which is always given in grams, type the amount with a g behind it and say "to lbs" and get it into useful information. This no longer works.

I just tried "54 g to lbs", and that worked. Google probably just doesn't like you.

weird it worked for me, it popped down below the search but then went away and loaded a new search page with results.
edit, ohh it works now but it auto populates the answer so if you hit enter it goes away, annoying but usable.
 
I want to gain 5-7 pounds a month for the next 4 months.

I plan on doing this by eating healthy and going to the gym every other day.

Is this feasible and healthy, GAF?

And how do I do that? :P

I think you right-click on the messenger icon in the taskbar, then from the list that comes up right click on "Windows Live Messenger", then go to properties, and it should be under compatibility.

5 pounds in a month is feasible and healthy, just bear in mind that no matter how clean you eat your gains won't be completely lean. If looking good is your goal, plan on shedding a little after gaining that much.

I have less than 3% body fat.

I don't mind gaining a little fat, ha ha ha. Glad to know I'm not out of my mind for trying.

So 7 is out of the question? I wanted to gain 30 pounds, but 20 is fine, too. : /

3% bodyfat is on the very low edge of being healthy especially if you're active (being in the range of 6-13% would be more ideal). If you want to shoot for gaining 30 lbs you should, and not worry about how long it takes you. Start eating :P

I'm incredibly active. While I was in Beijing, I'd hike, walk, and fight (training) 4-6 hours every day. My metabolism is just absolutely ridiculous.

I just want to gain some weight before Thanksgiving, when all my friends return.

Thanks for the advice.
 
I am looking for a iPod adapter so I can play music in my car. I had one that would go through a FM radio station but I want a decent one that won't cut out or have horrible quality. Any recommendations?

By the way, I do not have a tape player so I can't use a cassette adapter.

Does your car stereo have an audio-in jack somewhere (most are by the cig lighter). That's the best option.
 
I'm trying to remember a music video.

The entire video is seen as if you were on a train looking out the window and the music correlates directly to what is being seen in the scenery (e.g. buildings/bridges/trees pass by in time with the music).

Anyone?

most "clean" body building articles that I have read say about 1/2 lbs. a week (w/o gaining fat) is what to aim for. At that rate you could hit 2 lbs. a month and nail your goal.

Sweet. I don't mind gaining fat.

Thanks for the advice, guys. I wish there was a work out thread.

Or that it was findable.
 
I am leaving a jiujitsu/mma gym wearing a Spirit MC (Korean MMA promotion) and MMA shorts, I am leaving with my jiujitsu coach who is wearing a Carlson Gracie Jiujitsu tshirt.

What would possess two asshole to shove us from behind, call us "fag pussies" and try to sucker punch us?

No, weren't drunk. I'm still trying to understand why this happened.

Were you holding hands? Were you skipping? Were you whistling show tunes? Did you kick their asses?

Sometimes an alpha dog will try to intimidate other's they perceive to be "alpha" in order to solidify their status as top dog.

No, we were locking up the gym.

This was we were literally checking to see if the door was locked.

And the all of the sudden I get pushed forward into the glass door. I turn around and these two guys were standing there, "Faggot pussy ass fags!" and one guy ran at me and tried to tackle me, and he put his head on the outside of me left side, so I just guillotined him.

The other guy, I have no idea, but my jiujitsu coach popped the guy's knee horrible. I mean, the scream was disgusting. I let my guy go and he helped his friend and they took off.

We thought about calling the cops, but it was just too weird.

I just wanted to get some grilled chicken nachos and go home. And then I got home, and forgot about the nachos. :(
 
every time im watching a video and my headphones pop out the audio wont come back on after I plug them back in and the audio wont even come back on even if i refresh the page so the only way to get the audio working again is by closing the browser and opening a new one why does it do this?
 
For some reason internet explorer keeps kicking me an error whenever I'm on GAF. Doesn't give me an error report. Anybody else experiencing this?

Most of the time Windows recovers the tab. Sometimes it doesn't.

Windows 7 64 bit.
 
What the hell is a Pampered Chef party? I was invited to one for this weekend (today actually), and at first I was like "Cool, something to do, and free food!", but then I googled Pampered Chef and it looks like this would be some kind of party sponsored by a knives company or some shit? Will I just show up and end up being pressured into buying crap I don't want? Worth going to?
 
It's like Avon. A person signs up to be a "rep" and then they try to sell shit to their friends and family so they earn credit and free stuff. So basically who ever invited you is gonna try to sell you over priced cutlery, utensils, and other kitchen gadgets and accessories.

If I am looking to get something 23''-24'' for xbox 360 dorm room gaming, should I get a monitor or an HDTV?

Depends on if you want to be able to watch TV on it.
Usually a monitor is cheaper, and better quality.
