Is there any way to send a message to my neighbor's PC without them installing any software? I've found ways to do it if we both have the same messaging software installed, but I want to be able to do it without them having to install anything on their end. The reason being my cable modem has croaked and Comcast won't come until Wednesday. So being netless of course I turned to the charity of those that don't secure their shit. I'm not out to do anything malicious (other than stealing your bandwidth and slowing down your connection) but I went through the routine 'router check' and discovered they have their shit wide open. I wanted to inform them without having to do it face to face.

E-mail them perhaps? That's all I can think of aside from that Windows Messager thing (not the IM'ing program, something different), but I have no idea how that works.

I don't know their e-mail address.

I've got their local IP and I'm on their router. I think the messenger service has to be enabled for the cmd line stuff associated with it to work. Regardless, I'm using Vista Home Premium and from what I've been researching it doesn't have Vista's messenger service replacement anyway.

well you could look if they have a printer shared over the network and print out a message :P

or depending on the router you could mess with the routing table, directing lets say google.com to a message from you, you put on the internet

Haha. I came up with the printer idea, but haven't done it because it's too iffy. It's probably what I'll end up going with if I don't just go to their house. The tables sounds interesting too, but I don't think I've got the know-how to pull that one off.

Thanks.

Wouldn't they lie or just pretend to have awkward sex? Do guys bleed when they have an erection when they penetrate? If it was a gay, bottom guy I guess he would bleed like a girl upon penetration but what about straight/top guys?

The fact that you're probably going to get laid before I ever do makes me hate my life, but mostly I just hate you.

The thought of sticking an appendage up my orfices and me deriving pleasure from it and then 9 months later sh--ting out a baby makes your statement false.

Here's a thought to hate on, the fact that probably 5 billion people are getting action right while you're on Neogaf fills your life with loathing despair but that fact that possibly 6 trillion extraterrestrial life forms are FHUTAing makes you find yourself in an existential quandry
full of loathing and self-doubt and wracked with the pain and isolation of your pitiful meaningless existence. At least you can take a small bit of comfort in knowing that somewhere out there in this crazy old mixed-up universe of ours, there's still a little place called Albuquerque
 
Could anyone tell which movie and which scene the first 50 seconds of this song was used in? I could swear it was one of the Kill Bill movies, but I couldn't find anything about it.

Anyway, so I watched some asian porn the other day, and couldnt watch more than 2 minutes because of that terrible moaning/crying sound they make.

Do real asians do that too, or is it just a porn thing?
How about westernized asians?

Ive never been with an asian, and want to...but not if i have to listen to that noise
 
Hi Gaf, here's my stupid question:

A friend (yes, I went there, no, he doesn't work @ gamestop) told me that the 160gb PS3 has TWO lenses, one for DVDs and the other for blu-ray. I believe it doesn't make any sense, but I'm not about to crack open a 160GB PS3 just to prove him wrong. Any of you gaffers can confirm/deny this, please?

Thanks.

EDIT: I'm not tag fishing, please don't let this be my first permaban.
Yes, I know.
 
how the fuck does pita bread work? you're supposed to be able to open it up and put food inside? how? i've never had pita bread that splits down the middle. it always crumbles in my hands.
 
is bud smoke or cigaret smoke harmfull to electronics such as a PS3?

thinking of getting one and there is alot of smoke in the garage (where we all hang out) to the point of hotboxing.

Yes and no, technically yes, they warn you not to do so, but I've had a PS3 in my flat at halls for two years with no issues at all and it's often very very smokey in there.

And I'm watching Cocktail.
 
Other than a bigger HD collection and some added convenience, what does the Apple TV offer that a computer with an HDMI out to a TV doesn't?

Is there anyway to get Photoshop for free? Or Adobe Elements?

I doubt Elements, but I would think a decent torrent would be there for Photoshop.
I'm surprised you weren't banned for that. :lol

There are plenty of torrents out there... all you have to do is look.

Every time I brush my teeth I would find this gooey mucus in the corner of my mouth an hour later. What is it?
Wash your mouth out better after you brush.

Why can you survive breaking your back, but not your neck? how far up can you break your back before it becomes fatal?
Breaking the bones has nothing to do with death. It's damage to your spinal cord that causes problems. If you happen to break your neck and severe the connection to the brain, however, that will be fatal. Technically the neck has nothing to do with it, but it's attached to the real cause.

Real since I'm virgin, in college, and fear guys may be man sluts, got a girl pregnant, and/or crawling with STDs (hey some people lie for a quick f--- most lie on MySpace)
It will be a bit uncomfortable, and you will likely bleed a bit, but it's nothing to be worried about.
As far as guys go, just make them wait for multiple dates before fucking. That'll weed out all of the guys who just want to fuck around and will leave the guys who actually mean something.
For the record, from my college experience, girls have proven to be waaaaaaay more whorish and shallow than the guys have, believe it or not.

Technically yes. Think of it kinda like dust. Too much is never a good thing. Chances are it won't be a problem though.
It will also make colors fade or become yellow, so watch out for that.

I find heating it helps. Also depends on the brand, some are very easy to open others just seem to crumble as you cut it.

My girl is Chinese, and she does not sound like that. I think it may be a Japanese thing.

how much an hour do movers usually get paid?
I think it really depends on the amount of stuff you have for them to move and the weight of it, plus the addition of the distance of where you're moving. I can't really give you a total number since I've never hired a mover before or even considered everything I mentioned...
 
Ok so last week I saw the Final Destination in real 3d and was impressed with the 3D, my question is are current TV sets capable of decent 3d with glasses or are we a way off that yet?

None that I've seen.

Why is spell checker not working in FF3 anymore?
 
The battery in my laptop stopped charging and because the light on the AC adapter is still lit I was recommended to buy a new one since they only last two years (I've had my laptop since 2007). My new battery will not charge either. I just reformatted and am running out of ideas. Advice?

Sounds like the back plug or back power connection is shot. Happened to my moms laptop.
 
So whats up with Remote Desktop? Or rather - whats up with copypasting from a remote desktop window? Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not work and i cannot figure out what makes it work. Drives me crazy :X

I downloaded a podcast directly as an mp3 in my browser, is there a way I can get iTunes to add it to the podcast directory instead of the music library?

If you think you might be hurt and call 911, get taken to the hospital, but it turns out you are ok, do you owe anything?
Yes, they will charge your pants off. My dad called 911 one time because he though he was having a heart attack. He got to the hospital and was fine. They charged him over $2,000.

You pay for whatever shows up, Ambulance, fire truck, helicopter etc.

It would be a good idea to tell us what country you are from... Unless you are pranking them here (denmark) then no.

If you have an identical twin sister and you knock her up, would the baby look just like the two of you?
If you have an identical twin sister, you are female and thusly, unable to knock anyone up.
