Bloggers, what's the accepted norm for re-posting assets originally posted by another company? For example, the Diablo Twitter account posted up a sceenshot. I saved it, and uploaded it in a blog post. In the post I link back to the original host.

Everything cool? I'm new to the blog-that-actually-gets-updated scene, don't want to step on any toes or make myself look like a noob. (To the people who I'd want info from)

Thanks!
 
I need footage of Christopher Walken talking to someone over a dinner table, medium-close-uppish. My brain's movie database is slim; any ideas for a film that would feature such a scene?

Failing that, anything similar might do.
 
Did anyone see/hear about the UFO and scrambled fighter jets just north of Toronto? I guess they were spotted tonight, about a half hour ago.
 
is there any flavor difference between

Anybody know how to set up a wireless router to a computer with vista?? how to set it up and do security settings and stuff??

since hes living somewhere else and has a different internet provider is that why its not working anymore??
Click to expand...

YES. The settings on the router are currently using his saved settings from before he moved. Easiest way would be to restore default settings and continue from there using the instructions you quoted from Megadrive in your post.

Tip: Try 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 for admin panel.

More importantly, is he allowed back? He contributed a lot to tech and PC GAF and he was a nice guy. (his only crime is the team he supports)

Hm. A few nights ago there was a UFO sighting in a Montreal suburb. Nothing showed up on the airport radar though.

Anything that doesn't require you to download anything? Like I said, I don't plan on playing for money (online at least :lol)

You could probably find a good one in Catch Me If You Can
 
If I injured something in my leg, say I twisted or sprained a muscle, if I don't treat it well enough could it get progressively worse? I ice it and put a warm patch on it every now and then but it seems when I sleep it makes it worse. Is there anything I can do while sleeping?

I injured my ankles by jumping down stairs when I was 14, my ankles still hurt at times now and I'm 21.
 
Insurance question: if you're put under for wisdom teeth extraction, does the procedure count as medical or dental?

Extraction is easy. What about inception? Some say it's impossible.

I actually went through insurance hell about this because my dental insurance says it was medical and my medical insurance said it was dental.

Generally it should go under your medical insurance though. However, if the teeth can be pulled and it is not impacted, then it could go under dental insurance.

Has anyone here taken the GRE before? How should I prepare? Is a month enough time? How hard was it?
Click to expand...

Are we talking general GRE or subject GRE? General I found to be pretty easy. I just took the practice test the day before and that was about it. Did a few practice essays I think. Personally I found it to be kinda hard to study for. But I've heard other people that studied a lot for it, so who knows.

Subject test requires a ton of studying. A took the physics GRE and studied for a good three weeks, and there are lots of people who prepare for like three months or more in advance. But a month should be fine, I would think.

Well none of them have broken through the gums, so I'm good on the impacted part.

I think I'll wait till the beginning of the plan year though so the medical and dental divisions have a full year to duke it out :lol
 
Why do people let themselves get fat to the point of being grotesquely overweight? Don't they reach a point along the way where they think "I'm a little too overweight maybe I should diet and exercise."
 
Doubt anyone will be able to answer this but fuck it I'll try anyway. I work for a large oil company that owns and operates its own hospital for employees and dependents.

I normally indulge in the occasional spliff when I'm with my friends. Let's say I had to go to the hospital for whatever reason and they ask for blood and urine samples, would they be able to trace the marijuana? If so, is it normal to assume that there would be consequences?

Marijuana remains in you bloodstream for, ranging from, 12 hours to one day, to several days. Also, marijuana doesnt show up on regular tests, except some types of blood and urine work. If your company hospital specifically tests for it though, they'll find it.

Now I've got another question which may be harder.

At school ww watched a video in the style of Zero Punctuation about the history of physics and the Gut, toe and discovering new subatomic particles.

Sorry, but that sounds more obscure. Any other information?
 
I remember a thread in the past few months about teen pregnancy rate or something similar by state. I've already searched GAF through Google with no results. Anyone have ideas how to find it?
 
So tried in the thread for this kind of question but no responses so maybe the crowd-sourcing here can help. Thanks in advance. I have been trying to figure out what these may have been since I remember them from when I was a kid. Any info would be greatly appreciated...

The first one is a movie or TV episode. Maybe from the 80's. A guy escapes from these creepy people, I'm thinking vampires, in an estate or house and then he gets picked up in the rain on the side of the road. The guy drives him unknowingly back to the house and then turns around in the car and snarls at the camera and it ends.

Also..

A movie with Sam Neill or a guy who looks like him in which he's at a halloween party dressed as an astronaut and the party members are devil worshippers and the world opens up and hell is on earth. I'm pretty sure it's not Sam Neill but this guy who looked like him.
 
What is wrong with me? I can never get enough sleep. Last night I went to sleep at around 2am and got up at 5pm. I just sleep all the time. If I set an alarm I just wake up feeling like I haven't slept at all. Then I can't get to sleep until early hours of the morning because I slept so much already. It's horrible.

Unless your line of work or time schedule doesn't allow it, try this:
Aim to get 7 to 8 hours sleep each night, and do so at the same time everyday. Go to bed 11 or 12 pm, get up 7 or 8 am. Don't snooze with the alarm, put it away from your bed, turn on the lights as you get up to turn it off. After a few weeks you will go to sleep instantly when you go to bed and wake up feeling fine, in fact you will almost wake up the same time as the alarm by yourself.

Try not letting it sleep to much out of pattern during the weekends either. Of course you'll want to sleep in saturday and sunday, but don't go to bed during the day in the weekend.
 
So I just bought a Halo Reach wireless headset a couple of days ago, but since then, I didn't seem to be able to connect it to my Xbox 360. I've been told that it needs to charge for a long time before using it for the first time, so I plugged it in to charge while I slept that day and when I woke up, it still wouldn't synchronize with my Xbox.
To be precise, it does connect to the it but only for a few seconds and then it would disconnect again. It stays like that, disconnecting and reconnecting.

I don't know what the problem is. I'm planning on returning it to the store today, but I thought I might ask you guys beforehand.


PS: Yes, I know how to synchronize it using the synch button.
 
I'm looking to get a Flip Ultra HD2 to replace the crappy DVD-R camcorder that our Travel & Tourism students use. The reasoning being that they're more suitable for the students to point and shoot stuff and youtube it, rather than having to rip the mini DVD-r, encode it , edit it, and then upload it.

The question is, is the Flip Ultra HD2 the best in class or are there better alternatives?
