What's the easiest way to do automatic backups with Windows 7? I just want to move a few folders from one drive to another each night. I used to use a Microsoft utility a few years ago that I liked a lot (I think you had to download it), but I can't remember what that was called.

You could make a batch file that gets run every night, set up using Task Scheduler.

What's the name of that ebaumsworld (or similar site) anime parody video series where the voices are all really over the top and they talk about bashudo blasters and stuff like that. There are two or three episodes.

Girlchan in paradise?

What is reddit? I know its a website, but why have I been hearing so much about it?

Wikipedia said:
Reddit (stylized as reddit, pronounced /ˈɹɛdɪt/ "read it")[4] is a social news website

More than that, it's quite similar to 4chan in that it is a forum with many subforums ("subreddits") in which the thread is usually a link to somewhere, a question, a suggestion for answers ("/reddit/IAma").

It's one of the places where something will go to get viral.
 
'transferring' Is the 'trans' in transferring a prefix? My english teacher said it was. I didn't think so. He said he'd look it up

I don't see why not.

trans- : Across
fer : Carry (from latin root 'ferre')

Hence transfer -- 'to carry across'.


Other examples with different prefixes include infer, confer, defer.
 
AutoCAD help: How do you intresect a line at certain point in another line. Say I want to intersect a line at length point of 25000. How would I do it?

It's been a while since I did AutoCAD anyways...

Don't non-coincidental, non-parallel lines only intersect at one point? Or maybe you're talking about a projection? Er, maybe you need to add a dimension of 25000?

I'm not sure what you're trying to do actually

I am talking about a 2d plane and a perpendiculer line intersecting another line at a point.

So A is 20000 unit length and I want B to intersect it at 5000. How do I do the intersection at that specific point?

we just stated AutoCAD class and all of asuddend I have a coursework due till monday. Our lecturer just messed up somewhere along the line...

just use windows backup (its included in 7)

just configure it to back up those folders (windows will zip them though) and schedule it to run daily.

maybe this is more gaming, but who cares

PC noob question. So a bunch of my Steam games created folders in My Documents Library in Windows 7 for saves and profiles. It was a mess, so I moved them all into one folder but none of the games could find my saves since I moved them. I undid the move, and all my games can find the saves again cept for Crysis. Is there any way I can fix this? There must be a way for me to make the game recognize my profile and saves again since I still have them all.

what an annoyance

to sum up:

- game save and profile in folder

- moved folder

- game can't find save and profile

- put folder back to original location

- game still can't find save and profile
 
I remember some behind the scenes on that video, Richie complained about the sculpture not looking like him, the director said "she's supposed to be blind, get over it."

True story. That girl is actually blind. She had 20/20 vision until she got intimate with Lionel Richie. The sheer awesomeness was too much for her feeble mind to handle and it caused her to go blind.

But 'fer' by itself isn't a word (At least in English). Just cause part of a word has Latin origins doesn't automatically make it a prefix in every word it is in. Transgender, trans-atlantic are examples of trans being used as a prefix. Transfer is not.

The root of a word, the thing the prefix attaches to, does not itself have to be a free-standing word.

Which doesn't necessarily mean the teacher is correct.

Why does the word or suffix -age appear in so many thread titles?

GAF used to stand for "Gaming-Age Forums" (don't think it does anymore). Now people add "age" to their thread titles as a reference to that.

EDIT: Agh, beat. Serves me right for stepping away from the laptop before submitting my post.

You google search "how do I uninstall new MSN" and then reinstall MSN 2009 or whenever the last good version was. That's what I did!
Thanks. You wouldn't happen to have a link to the older msn client, would you? I tried doing what you suggest back when this new one came out but I couldn't find the right installer... >_<
 
Is there any real way to increase the size of one's dong? Like do pumps and pills actually work? Or maybe penile exercises?
 
I believe you can have expensive surgery. The 'dong' actually runs inside your body somewhat so it's probably medically possible to reposition that a little and with extra skin somehow allow more of it to show. I don't see how pills or pumps could assist with length. I imagine a pump just changes the air pressure so blood vessels expand? Might help with girth a little, which is actually what is more important in terms of female sexual pleasure.

I can't believe anyone's dick is small enough to actually be unusable so I don't see why they'd care.

Good to know, thanks.

I won't ask size - but really, I'm sure it's a fantastic dong. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Not even yourself. Even people with baguette-sized dicks can feel inadequate.

Cock pushups. Also squats with weights tied to your shaft. You should work up to 100 uninterrupted cock pushups and squatting your body weight.

Once you've reached your strength goals you want to cut weight, because all the fat you've gained from lifting weights will obscure the shaft. It will probably look like a door knob at that point. But don't worry, cuz once you cut down your penis will be super ripped.
 
Anyone know a quick way of getting back internet history? Accidentally deleted a music website I need to find again, and system restore doesn't do anything. (people are useless, it's like they all give the same suggestion and no one realized system restore doesn't do anything.)

Generally, once you've deleted files, the pointers to their beginnings are gone, but the data is still on the disk. So you could attempt a data restoration. What path to take for this endeavor to be successful depends on a couple of variables though:
— Your operating system
— Your filesystem
— Your browser (because history file formats differ)
— Whether or not data has been written over the now unallocated space as part of normal operations

For instance, something that's helped me once is http://ntfsundelete.com/

You have to know what to look for, obviously. I wouldn't hold my breath anyway. If I were you, I'd rather Google-search my ass off to find that site again.
 
This my brother asked me, and I didn't know the answer. So we were watching tv , hand sanitizer ad comes on. Then he asks me if he could go for a shit and then use that instead of washing his hands?
Could he?

My Googling and Wikipedia skills don't indicate that prefixes have to act on standalone English words, but rather just a root or stem. In this case, it would be the latin root 'fer'.

I would say yes, but his hands would still be dirty, just not infectious.

Not 100% sure on that one though.

Yes.

You'd still want to wash your hands every day.

Don't you have to meet the requirements to become a member before being able to make threads? 300 posts or something of the sort?
