Apr-07-26 Chessgames - Sports    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      Apr-06-26 Fusilli chessforum   WannaBe: You too <Fusilli>      Apr-05-26 Chessgames - Odd Lie   WannaBe: Gotta double-triple check for typos in the future, what is "coving my neighbor's wife"?? Are we doves?      Apr-01-26 OhioChessFan chessforum   WannaBe: <OCF> I will now have be a wabbit and dig dipper into Camp Washington Chili. Never hoid of them, don't know if they are canned, fast food, grocery store, etc. Will keep you updated.      Mar-21-26 Chessgames - TV and Films    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.      Mar-18-26 Chessgames - Politics    WannaBe: <plang> Do you have a link to where you got that information/data from? I would love to read it for myself.      Mar-16-26 WannaBe chessforum    WannaBe: Future research project, how did Offenbach - Orpheus in the Underworld became "Can Can" and women kicking legs before the Radio City Hall Rocketts. An history that probably need some "Lookin Into"      Mar-13-26 chessgames.com chessforum    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 ...      Mar-11-26 Sebastien Feller    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).      Mar-05-26 G Timoscenko vs Karpov, 1967   WannaBe: So, strictly out of "Morbid Curiosity", I requested an analysis of the position: 1) +12.62 (22 ply) 55...Ke6 56. Nc6 Bg2 57. Nxa7 Ba8 58. Nc6 Kd7 59. Ne5+ Ke6 60. Nxg6 Be4 61. b6 f4 62. Nxf4+ Kf5 63. g6 Kg4 64. b7 Kxg3 65. b8=Q Kf3 66. g7 Bh7 67. g8=Q Bxg8 68. Qxg8 Ke3 69. a7 Ke4 ...

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 198 OF 754 ·  Later Kibitzing> Feb-05-07    Chess Classics: 2 brilliant ones I completely forgot. 1. The Iced Tea commercial, with ECGC. I hope WannaBe didn't miss that, it was hilarious =) I believe it was in the 3rd quarter. The second best line of any commercial: "It's on the back of the bottle." 2. The Bud Light commercial with the classroom of foreign kids. In fact, the best line of any commercial: Teacher: "What do you say if someone asks YOU for a Bud Light?" Class: "No speak English." Regards, CC Feb-06-07    OhioChessFan: Both those were excellent CC Feb-06-07    mojoXX: One rabbit stew coming right up! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcxK... Feb-06-07    WannaBe: Run away!

Thanks for the Blitz chess party the other night you guys it was a lot of fun. <Nako> too bad you had to go so quickly, some crazy things happened after you left. If you have time, look at the game <Sneaky> posted in <Domdaniel's> forum from that night... His annotations are hilarious. Feb-08-07    twinlark: <Many apologies for misidentifying you as <twinlark>!!> Indeed. Feb-08-07    Open Defence: <Wannabe> despite all the Elmer Fudd and wabbit stew jokes... can you help me with a computer question ? I am thinking of upgrading the RAM on my wimpy laptop... it has a 1.50 GHz Processor per the System Information Win XP gives me.. how much is the optimum upgrade.. currently it has 256MB of RAM...secondly.. there is only one hard disk and it is not partitioned.. will partitioning it help ? or should I maybe invest in another hard disk ? Feb-08-07    WannaBe: <Open Defence> On the back of the laptop, should be minimum 2 panels, one is larger than the other, and that one is the hard drive. The other one is the RAM. Take a small phillips head screwdriver, and open the smaller one. See that you have an empty slot first. When they build these laptops, the factory installed RAM is usually at the bottom, leaving the top slot open/available for upgrade. Once you have have verified that you have an available slot for RAM upgrade, then it's a matter of money. 256 is really too small, especially if you want to run Rybka or Fritz, and such. Judging from this page: http://shop3.outpost.com/catreq/974 I see that the cheap 'no name' are going for less than 80 dollars U.S. for 1 Gig. Or, if you feel brave, buy the paired 1 Gig, so you'd have 2 Gig for the laptop, (But you'd have to open the back of the laptop completely, and remove the original RAM from underneath, and install both. I have never done this. I have only slopped in a new one at the empty slot.) Do you have a reason to want to partition the existing hard drive? Feb-08-07    Open Defence: <Wanabe> thanks!! the reason I thought of partitioning is that I was wondering if having a non partitioned hard drive was making my computer slower ? Feb-08-07    WannaBe: <Open Defence> It can make it a 'little' slow, if you have a rather large hard drive, say something that's over 100 gig, and you have a lot of files fragmented. This will cause the hard drive to spin more while the file fragments are seeked out/read. The delay is very small, I mean we are talking about milli-seconds here... To see if your hard drive needs to be defragged, right click on your hard drive's icon -> properties ->Tools. In the middle is Defragmentation, click on the "Defragment Now..." button. A window will pop up, and left hand side is a button that says 'Analyze' click that. Read the recommended report. This will speed it up a 'hare'. Feb-08-07    Open Defence: ok so partitioning it won't matter ? Feb-08-07    WannaBe: <Open Defence> As far as making it faster? Not really... Operating Systems does a good job of knowning where the empty spaces are, and where the files are located. One thing to make it 'faster' is turn on file indexing. Right click on your hard drive icon, select properties, on the bottom, should be a box, that says 'Allow Indexing Service to ...' Feb-08-07    NakoSonorense: <wannabe> I need help, too. I've been thinkg about getting a TV tuner for my laptop, a HP Pavilion ze2000, but I have no idea which to get. Any advice/recommendations/suggestions/etc? Feb-08-07    WannaBe: <NakoSonorense> TV tuner... um... haven't dealt with those. Do you know what models you're looking at? At least then I can start researching, possibly ask around the office. Feb-08-07    NakoSonorense: That's the problem, I'm a computer illiterate. I don't know anything about models or that kind of stuff. I only know about the price range, maybe between 60 to 120 bucks.
