Is there any way to look at your own post history on here?

Nope. That's part of searching and searching is disabled. You can use the custom Google search and look for your name, but that's about it.CoffeeJanitor said:

So does that mean there really isn't a way to keep track of past discussions? It's hard to know if people are debating with you when you don't even know where you posted last.Schmattakopf said:

Best/only was is to save the thread to your subscriptions and check back on it once in a while. There's also a great Chrome extension called Neogaf User Highlighter which highlights posts you make and people who quote you in a colour of your choice, making your posts easier to track in each thread.
Edit: like so..

Is there something special you have to do to look at an external HD on Windows 7? My netbook acknowledges the connected device, but I can't find any way to actually access the data. I can just look at the properties and whatnot.

What's a good Microsoft Word alternative? Free, of course.

I know someone replied to you already but it can't be said enough:

Basically you go into your user control panel and set to automatically subscribe to threads when you reply. Then you click that svelt, sexy "SUBSCRIPTIONS" link at the top of this very page to be taken to a list of EVERY THREAD YOU HAVE EVER SUBSCRIBED/POSTED TO

Super important, no. But they are on par with the main game, and Extraction Point continues with the same character from FEAR1, unlike Perseus Mandate and FEAR2, so they are not completely without merit.
And, actually, Extraction Point adds a new weapon or three so there's that as well.
My old yahoo email account was beginning to be filled with spam and I have no idea how infected it was til I logged onto it a while ago. Is there anyway to save that account or is it just doomed to be filled with bots friend requests and spammed messages and emails I'm scared to open?

I'm sure you can search where to buy them with that information.

Why do latinos use "mami" and "papi" as terms with a sexual connotation? Why did familial terms get intertwined with romantic love?
And what are latinos "latinos" anyway? Because the Spanish language stems from Latin? If so, why don't European Spaniards, Italians, etc. refer to themselves as latinos?

probably because everyone overused it and the mods started hating it

just throwing it out there, but is it i think because they are from latin america?

I know that Imageshack is banned here, but does anybody know why?

Does putting your computer in standby as opposed to turning it off use much power?
Because it can't support very many image views before it yanks the image. If you post imageshack on GAF you'll get a yellow frog real fast.Siebzehn50 said:
Use "Hibernate". It turns off your computer completely but saves your session, and offers a fast boot up.buy teh haloz said:

How many image views does it normally take?

imageshack is definitely one of the worst hosting websites you could ever possibly use. Even photobucket is better.
Use this instead

Trying to find a classic GAF thread.
It's the one where the guy couldn't work out why no one at his workplace liked him and then went on to explain how he is a total douche to his colleagues, wears a suit on casual friday because he is better than everyone else, and completely kisses the boss's arse.
It was hilarious, but I can't find it.

Kind of a science-y one. Maybe it belongs in the Space thread.
Here goes:
Every time I see an astronomy documentary or something on tv thats about asteroid impacts, they talk about these big bodies entering the atmosphere at some kind of nutty speed (40,000 mph I want to say, at least), and a lot of times they explode before hitting the Earth. They just explode.
Explode?
What would make a hunk of iron or even more boring compounds explode like that? Break apart in re-entry - I sure understand that - we all learned about that from the Space Shuttle Columbia incident. And shooting stars burning up in the atmosphere explains that just as well.
That explode part is just never explained though. They just say, "it exploded". Even the Tunguska event is described more as an explosion than a direct hit (though they call it an impact in the history books).
Anyone know why they use that explosion description?

I want to be able to send Tweets using normal email by my phone or check the tweets of my friends. Can any one help me a little bit since I'm not completely sure If I'm able to do it as I do it in Facebook and my email?
There's this kind of music I've been trying to find to no avail. It's kinda like the music used in It's Always Sunny. It has lots of strings. Whenever I think of old-style shopping or advertising music, it's what comes to mind, but I have no idea what it's called. It's a vague description, but does anybody know what the name of this kind of music is, or any composers of said kind of music? Thanks.

Are you serious or are you pulling my posts's leg?Aad said:
I only wish I actually had to deal with the following question in real life, but I'm just curious in case it actually comes to pass. I must have been dozing off in my Federal Income Tax class, because when I was hypothesizing over what I'd do if I won a huge lottery, I did some digging and found that the tax consequences would be a bit different than what I thought. I had been under the impression that taxes would be withheld on the winnings, in the upper bracket of 35% or whatever off the lump sum that I would take. Then I'd be free to split the winnings with my family as I intended. Now I find that there's a gift tax of some sort over amounts greater than $13k per person or something like that. Does that mean that if I won the lottery and had federal tax withheld, it would be double taxed via the gift tax?

I wish I had a source for this, but I read something about this "problem" for which I too can only hope. There's a very specific rule about gambling/lotto winning taxes and gifts. It's really exclusive to lottery winners, getting double-taxed. I think there are only a few types of income that you can be double-taxed on. In a way, isn't that part of the death tax and how it plays into the whole debate on it?DarthWoo said:
