Does anyone remember this delicious snack product from the early-mid 90's? I believe it was made by planters. The snacks were peanut-shaped and had either a peanut butter or chocolate filling. I used to eat them all the time. The outer shell was crispy and the filing was soft and creamy. Any ideas?

I know what you're talking about. I don't remember what they were called, either.

Sounds like Koala snacks, but I think you'd remember that awesomeness.

Are those easy to find at stores? Just searched The Shack (lol) online and found nothing.

I would check monoprice.com

And just FYI, I know I said RCA (red/white/yellow plugs), but that would only give you 480i resolution. PS2 has component support so you could probably find component->VGA so you could at least do 480p.

Here you go:
http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10235&cs_id=1023503&p_id=2409&seq=1&format=2

That adapter won't carry sound through it, but I'm sure you could figure that out, a workaround would be easy enough. I've got my 360 hooked up to my monitor via VGA so I've had to go through all of this before.
 
Would anyone from here that has gone through or is going through NROTC or AFROTC for college be willing to talk about it?
Please PM me.
 
WHERE IS THE BEST PLACE ON THE INTERNET TO LEARN UNIX?! sorry for the bold caps. I've noticed, especially in this thread, that whoever posts something near the bottom of a page never gets responded to so fuck you and answer this please. I just need an "intro to unix" or something like that.

What about UNIX exactly?

So I just finished playing Super Robot Taisen OG 2 on my GBA and this was part of the end game dialogue.



Is it just me or does it seem like she's plans on doing a whole lot of fucking?

Or she'll be destroying a lot of things like a guy wielding a colossal blade.
 
Is cocaine really that bad for you? I keep seeing it mentioned with heroin and meth as "hard drugs" that certain affiliates of mine say they'll never try.

It just makes you hyper right?

Well it's certainly not good for you. But heroin and meth are way worse.

I need to know how to access directories (and make them), run programs, and log onto the main server.

to change a directory:
cd /some/directory/path
to make a directory:
mkdir /some/directory/path
to run a program, just type the program name and hit enter
as for logging into servers.... well, there are many different types of servers, but the most generic answer would be to use telnet or ssh.

For any of the above, you could also just open up a file browser and click at stuff.

Oddly, the answers here apply almost identically to, say, Windows and OS X.

You probly need more specific questions to ask. I recommend downloading and burning a linux "Live CD" such as Knoppix and booting from it on your PC to give you a vague taste of a unix-like environment. And check out the linux noob thread on this forum.

It probably shouldn't be used in the same context as heroin and meth, but it's still "bad for you" and it's still extremely addictive. And there's no real reason to try it with alternatives like amphetamines.

One of my first bosses out of college had been a big drug user in his younger days and he told me the one drug he regrets abusing is coke cuz it messed up his heart. He ended up dying of a heart attack a few years ago. He said heroin wasn't bad in itself, except it was addictive and would constipate you, so toxins would build up in you. I took his word for it. All those drugs seem pretty bad in different ways.

Yeah it was like that for me too. When something weird like that is happening I go to google, type the website name, and sort by "Latest" and you'll see a bunch of up to the second online chatter confirming it's not just you.

Why am I a junior member and how do I get promoted?
Everyone starts out as a Junior Member. Think of it as a "probationary" phase, because if you get banned as a Junior, you're done permanently. Once you've been a member for 90 days AND have a total of 300 posts, you'll get the upgrade.

I dream... I dream of a website that gives you an outline of important writers' lives, works, everything. I dream you can find those facts just by typing the writer's name in a search box. I dream of a site that further elaborates upon concepts with individual articles. I dream it connects articles with hyperlinks. I dream there are lots of sources and shit mentioned, also images and what have you.
 
lol sorry i wasn't clear enough, but i meant what topic in The Canterbury Tales should i write about. But my cousin said to write about the rising middle class of fourteenth century England, thx anyway though haha.

Also, how come the Sloth isn't extinct? I mean glaciers are faster than those creatures, they should've been hunted/eaten to extinction by now.

I think you can watch A Knight's Tale to get a perspective on some of his early life while he accompanied the Jousting circuit in his early life.

Is it true the off-topic forum gets shutdown during E3?

It has in the past. Though they upgraded the servers in the last year so maybe they won't have to this year. I wouldn't hold my breath though, it's gonna be a big E3.
 
Couldn't make a thread so here goes.

I'm being interviewed for the Specialist position for the Apple store. Any gaffers know what I should expect? They're having the interview at a fancy hotel so kinda intimidated and would love the help

What is the philosophical concept of "the world is my own creation, and when I die, it will all end" called?

Is that Descarte? Because you are aware of you own existence you must therefore exist.
 
RevDM said:

Thats not it. I'm talking about the concept that the world around you is the construct and product of you, and it exists solely for you. As soon as you die, it all ends. I remember reading about it a few weeks ago, but now I cant find it on google search.

Ah yes, this is it. Thanks!
 
I'm sorry if this has been asked before but why can't I view youtube videos in "full" fullscreen anymore? The menu/address/bookmark/taskbar still stay there.

xp sp2
FF 4.01
Adobe flash 10.3.181.14 (is youtube still flash? html5?)

I tried signing into youtube and still the same

the non-fullscreen I see:

[edit] So if I go fullscreen in FF too it goes fullscreen but the seek bar (whatever it's called at the bottom) won't go away because my cursor is on the video, even if the cursor isn't moving.
