WannaBe: In case I forgot, congrats to them Lady Bruins. =)) U. Mich (69-63) won, but the last spread I saw was -6.5, so if you took UConn w/ spread, you got very lucky, if you bet on them U. Mich, I feel bad; the O/U was 148.5

WannaBe: <CIO> LOL. I remember those mems... <chancho> North by Norwest, totally agree, the audiences know that the plane scene was filmed earlier and played on a screen behind. It was still drama. Same thing with the Mt. Rushmore chase scene.

WannaBe: ¡Olé! ¡Olé! this is what I see for "¡Olé! ¡Olé!" (game of the day Mar-13-2026) I also know this issue have been around for a while, and it's not that important, in IT term, it is a level 'C', cosmetic fix. But I just wish to report it again. Can CG.com unify this ...

WannaBe: <FSR> March 11 is his birthday, and usually PoD is chosen from the birth date of the player. So unless CG.com decides to change the algorithm on how PoD is decided. We will randomly get "undesired" player(s).

  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.:)

  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.

  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.

  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.

  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!!!

  WannaBe: Bud-light with the wedding auctioneer made me laugh. Bears just scored again. The over of this game looks good.

  WannaBe: Sneakers bar, stupid.

  WannaBe: The Coke and the Garmin (GPS) commercials were both disappointing.

  WannaBe: Bud light face slap, stupid. Budweiser with the mud 'dalmatian', cute.
Feb-04-07  positionalgenius: face slap good...
Feb-04-07
Premium Chessgames Member
  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.

  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
Premium Chessgames Member
  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.

  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

  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.

Premium Chessgames Member
  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.
