Heard thumping noises last night. This morning, found out that the idiot kids in the neighborhood had been throwing eggs at my house.
I'm thinking of getting motion sensing porch lights. Any other ways of discouraging this kind of behavior?

Sit on your porch naked with a 12 gauge and some clown makeup. Any time the kids are within earshot start screaming "HE COMES" and splatter catsup on your chest. It worked great for me.

There are only 3 options I can think of:
Make the kids like you
Make the kids afraid of you
Take it up with their parents if you know them.
If they are not neighborhood kids, file a complaint with your local police department and just keep a scrub brush handy =/

TiVo is still the go-to. Her cable/satellite provider might offer a box of their own?
This is a 2 part question:
It's illegal to camp on certain website names, like I couldn't buy "Microsoft.com" before they had it and then charge them a huge price for it.
1. What about non-profit organizations?
2. What about "profiles" on larger websites? Could I legally have the username, say "TheChurchOfScientology" on youtube or Twitter or some big website like that if I would have chosen it before that website got popular? Then post stuff that is offensive to that church?

I think I read somewhere that twitter can change your username at any time(dog) for any reason.Timedog said:

I have an account but I don't use it at all. I don't even understand what it's for, really. I guess it's fine for famous people to send snippets to fans, but I don't really care about hearing about those snippets, so I never log on. For sending my friends updates I just use Facebook wall. I don't get the point of Tumblr either or why it's so popular.

Can anyone help me create a vector design with CorelDraw? I need it "converted to curves". I can't do it.
I need a 1300 x 1000 px .png image made into a vector file. Here's the steps.

Let me know if you can do it and I'll provide you with the image.

Also.. just realized.. we live together.. so her account will show up as the same IP I post from at home..
But I swear it's her, and she wants to post here.. she is a gamer and all that.
I think so. I've posted pics in the creepy "Post your significant other" thread.

lol, you guys are funny. I'm at work.. I'll post a pic later, especially if it will get a mod to register her quickly

AFAIK, it's not illegal to purchase a domain that may or may not be of use to a company. Remember when zelda.com was a porn site? You can't just buy it and let it sit. You have to show that you are using it in some way.
Twitter, facebook, etc are separate though. You can call yourself whatever you wanted, but I'm sure if the company wanted to they could bitch at Twitter and force you to rename your account.

Is she Iranian? The name sounds like a farsi word.

No, it's a silly misspelling of Cthulhu.
Cyan: Thanks.. I thought I'd seen rumors of that.
Either way, wanted to mention it since she'll have the same IP.

I'd really appreciate it!
This isn't really a stupid question but I'd rather not make a thread for it.
So whenever I hold out my fingers they start shaking. My friends noticed this and thought it was weird. I have the same issue whenever I'm trying to solder something. My fingers are shaking way too much than they should be for me to be able to nicely solder. Is this because I'm always on the computer?

What do you guys think of this Samsung: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16834131142
I wanted the dedicated graphics for some gaming, but nothing high end. May just be playing Age of Empires and other old games.

A whole range of things can cause shaky hands. Low blood sugar to simply aging; certain drugs/alcohol. I doubt computer usage.Linkhero1 said:

Yeah I get this from time to time too. Sometimes its so bad I have to pick up a cup with both hands just cause my hands are shaking so much and then a few hours later it'll be completely gone and I'm fine.Jzero15 said:

I'll bet they could change the format for everyone, but to just make it an option is probably something they'd have to tweak in the forum software, and it's probably not worth it.Toppot said:
Just a guess though.

Any tips for getting up in the morning? I do my best to get my 8 hours, and I need to be to work for 9, so I need to leave the house a 8:15 at the latest. I set my alarm on my iPhone at 3 times (6:30, 6:45, and 7:00) but I usually end up sleeping through or turning them off in my sleep.
I tend to naturally get up around 8, but that means I can't get out of the house until 8:30, but that usually guarantees I don't get to work until 9:05-9:15, depending on traffic.

"8 hours" is like saying doing 15 push-ups is good. It's relative.
You might need 7, you might need 9.
There are very many ways to ensure sleeping better, which could include right bed, right way of going to sleep, eating right before going to bed (light), as little light in the room as possible, but more light in the mornings, no distracting sounds or lights.
But get Sleep Cycle for your iPhone. It probably will help you. And also, only set one alarm. Don't tell your mind that it's negotiable to get up when the alarm rings. You HAVE to get up when it rings. The 'smart snooze' on Sleep Cycle also helps in that regard.

You can change it. I would assume it needs to be another non-free one though.
