Jan-14-26 Chessgames - Odd Lie    WannaBe: This one is from Henry Cho: "I'm changing the caller ID of my wife's phone number to Potential Spam" If you have not seen or heard of Henry, he is worth some of your time on YouTube.      Jan-14-26 Chessgames - Politics    WannaBe: So, again, the worker expressed and exercised the 1st amendment right(s), whether suspension is warrented or not is up to company/union policy. Not the administration, because this will be 0-9 in the Supreme Court. Another individual (who happens to be the president) also exercised ...      Jan-14-26 Dickson    WannaBe: Apparently, it was a "far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known"      Jan-14-26 Chessgames - Sports    WannaBe: Well, the Wizard of Oz is playing at Las Vegas Sphere...      Jan-12-26 Fischer vs V Pupols, 1955    WannaBe: I was thinking baseball bat, tire iron, or brass knuckles.      Jan-11-26 Tata Steel Masters (2026)    WannaBe: So, the Tata Steel blitz were held in India, and players have 6 days to fly to NED for the next (or 2026 first) major event... What is the flight path? Here are some ideas: https://www.flightroutes.com/CCU-AMS      Jan-06-26 WannaBe chessforum   WannaBe: And let's not even get into trombone with triggers...      Jan-06-26 Atterdag chessforum    WannaBe: <OCF> Not to mention when TV stations switch red (dem) and blue (rep) to what we know today... On a similar note, in Asia, if the stock shows red, it mean up, green, means down. Go fig.      Jan-04-26 OhioChessFan chessforum   WannaBe: This is for you, with some deeper insight on drone productions, Russian, and now with the cut-off of oil from certain S.

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 197 OF 750 ·  Later Kibitzing> Feb-02-07    WannaBe: Okay, guys, stop using shampoo. Girls, can I buy you, like a ton of it? =) http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933... Feb-02-07    WannaBe: <Trudodyr> You don't have be a programmer to be good with computers. I've known programmers who are complete idiot when it comes to computers. (I Swear!) The other option, that I was going to recommend, can be a little drastic, if not an over-kill. Format your hard drive and re-install everything. But like I said, it's drastic, very time consuming. =( Feb-02-07    YouRang: When you uninstalled playchess, did you make sure that all of the playchess folders were physically & completely removed? Another (less likely) possiblity is that there are .INI files in your Windows folder that contain playchess settings. Other than that, all I can think of is to use regedit to scan your registry for instances of "playchess". (But don't do anything to the registry unless you *really* know what you're doing.) Feb-02-07    Trudodyr: <Yourang>I went to the guts of the computer-"control panel" and uninstalled it. Then I deleted all of the folders and checked to make sure it was all gone by searching all files and folders for any "playchess" or "chessbase" folders. Found none. Then I reinstalled it. btw,I save it the computer then install.Could that be an issue? <wannabe>I would be afraid that i would mess something up.:) Feb-02-07    WannaBe: <Trudodyr> what do you mean by "btw,I save it the computer then install." ?? Feb-02-07    Trudodyr: <Wannabe>When you go to playchess.com you click on the "download the free client software". Click on that then it gives you two options: -open the file <or> -save it to computer I always choose the second choice. Feb-02-07    WannaBe: Ah, I see, that is what I do too. by saving it, it lets my virus checker have a chance to examine the file. Feb-02-07    Trudodyr: <Wannabe>I still don't get it,but oh well. Now I hear that <Raffael> was on yesterday and today.....sigh... Feb-03-07    Open Defence: <Okay, guys, stop using shampoo. Girls, can I buy you, like a ton of it? =)> LMAO!! do guys have baths even? Feb-03-07    Archives: <do guys have baths even?> Does getting wet from the rain while running count? If so, then yes I do bathe. Feb-04-07    chancho: Last season the Pats beat the Steelers who then went on to win the Super Bowl, and this season the Pats beat the Bears, so... Naw! Colts win. Feb-04-07    WannaBe: So far, I enjoyed the blockbuster commercial with the rabbit/hamster/mouse. The Doritos was cute. Sierra Mist sucked. Feb-04-07    chessmoron: Go Daddy is HOT HOT!!! Feb-04-07    WannaBe: Bud-light with the wedding auctioneer made me laugh. Bears just scored again. The over of this game looks good. Feb-04-07    WannaBe: Sneakers bar, stupid. Feb-04-07    WannaBe: The Coke and the Garmin (GPS) commercials were both disappointing. Feb-04-07    WannaBe: Bud light face slap, stupid. Budweiser with the mud 'dalmatian', cute. Feb-04-07    positionalgenius: face slap good... Feb-04-07    OhioChessFan: GPS was lame. Pizza Poppers was good. Mr Hadley and the coke was great. Dalmatian was okay, although very derivative. Rube Goldberg Coke Machine was very good. Feb-04-07    tpstar: You know the commercials are uninspiring when you find yourself looking forward to the Kevin Federline spot. I thought the Coke ads were the most innovative, and the talking animals were cute. Nothing earth-shattering though. The big Super Bowl surprise? Prince still rules! ;>D Feb-04-07    WannaBe: My favourite ads... 1. Blockbuster with bunny/hamster/mouse 2. Wedding w/ auctioneer 3. Coke w/ Goldberg contraption. 4. NFL's own ad, with Favre at the end. 5. Bud, with the crabs/beer cooler. Feb-04-07    WannaBe: You *may* have noticed that I didn't kibitz one bit in the second half, I was down at the watering hole watching the game. (I figured all the good commercial are done/over with.) Plus I had to check out what numbers I drew for the pool. Tony Dungy. I LOVE YOU FOR NOT KICKING THE FIELD GOAL!!! I LOVE YOU MAN! Because if you kicked the field goal, the final digits would not have been 9-7. Guess who won the final score pool down at the watering hole? :-)) Feb-04-07    Chess Classics: Wedding w/auctioneer was the best. Blockbuster was good. Honorable mention should go to the Sierra Mist commercial with Jim Gaffigan (both of them, actually) and the one with the 2 baboons trying to hunt the bud light man in the jungle. Regards, CC Feb-05-07    OhioChessFan: Didn't see the auctioneer or the crabs. Didn't like the Gaffigan combover at all. Animal commercials tend to bore me, but the baboons were inspired. The Letterman/Oprah was hilarious. The NFL/Favre was hilarious. Feb-05-07    WannaBe: <OhioChessFan> Go to : http://cbs.sportsline.com/nfl/posts... and the auctioneer is under 1st quarter, Bud Light: Reception, (Lower right hand corner) For the crab: Go to 4th quarter, look for Budweiser: King Crab.
