May-14-25 Chessgames - Sports    WannaBe: IND (4-seed) ousted CLE 4 games to 1. If NYK (3-seed) gets past BOS, Madison Square will go nuts, and party like it's 1899 For tomorrow's game, BOS is -4.5 O/U: 208.5 ML: -190/+160      May-13-25 offramp chessforum   WannaBe: Are your islands interested in becoming 51st or 52nd state? I know someone you can get in touch with.      May-12-25 WannaBe chessforum    WannaBe: <TD> this is for you (If you are still with us) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_j...      May-12-25 Louis Stumpers    WannaBe: Somewhat serious, if there is any one that can give an answer: Something just occurred in my head (No, it wasn't not my 10x daily dosage of 240v shock therapy) Why orchestra percussion uses a triangle? Instead of say circle, or square, or pentagon? I can produce the same 'ting' with      May-06-25 Carlsen vs S Randjelovic, 1999    WannaBe: From the Game Title (Section): <NOR Championship Group Miniputt (1999)> What is Miniputt? I take it that is not golf related. Is this like a section designation? e.g. Open/Masters/Class A/B/C/D      May-06-25 chessgames.com chessforum    WannaBe: May 3rd and 4th is weekend, and 5th is Cinco de Mayo. Steve probably enjoyed the long weekend got drunk. 😁🤪🍻🍷🍾🍸🍹🍺🥂🥃      May-04-25 Lasker vs R Sze, 1910    WannaBe: I dunno about that, usually Sunday Morning puzzles are like 11 out of 10 scale. (No apologies to any movie, actors, or directors, or sequel that is due in theatre in a few month)      May-01-25 Biographer Bistro    WannaBe: <NpCA> did not realize you wanted it to be posted on other web page(s)... There is a free built-in tool in Windows, called 'Snipping tool', one way to do this, is to generate the FEN image here, then snip that image -> Save As JPG or whatever you wish to your computer      May-01-25 Duda vs Nakamura, 2018   WannaBe: <ECRVZZZ> Dragon is B70-B79, you can input that in the advanced search range on the home page. Here is one example from 2025 E Amar vs F Avdic, 2025      Apr-28-25 A Lundqvist vs J Coolen, 1962    WannaBe: This was ICCF??? What was the time control and was white running short on postage stamps?

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 210 OF 745 ·  Later Kibitzing> Mar-31-07    WannaBe: <hitman84> also, wuaudt.exe and waudt1.exe are real programs, they are the windows automatic update executables. At times, they will run and check to see if new patches/fixes are available from Microsoft. Do not delete those, you can try to delete the wuaudt10.exe, but the virus will only return if you don't have the protection against it. Also, juding from what I read from symantec, it does change your registry, and leave other undesirables on your system. Apr-03-07    WannaBe: I guess that Def Leppard is out too? http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070403... Apr-03-07    WannaBe: Guess I'm not getting that 1/2 million dollars worth of tax refund this year... http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/070403/tax_... Apr-05-07    WannaBe: Dang it! The release of the latest Martin Cruz Smith Novel (Arkady Renko Mystery) have been pushed back 2 month! =( It was suppose to have come out this week! Waaaaaaa! Apr-05-07    Knightlord: Hi Wannabe, I accidently removed Realplayer from my computer. Is there any chance I can get it back? I have an original Windows xp home cd. I installed it again but I got the same settings/preferences (sorry I'm not good at technical English) Apr-05-07    WannaBe: <Knightlord: ... I installed it again but I got the same settings/preference...> Are you saying you want to restore the software preference to what you had, before you removed the RealPlayer? Apr-05-07    Knightlord: Well it's already a long time ago (more than half a year ago) so that's maybe a problem isn't it? Apr-05-07    WannaBe: <Knightlord> When a software gets removed, any previous users' preference or settings are 'generally' also deleted. If you re-install the software, and in your case it's been 6+ month, the only way to get the RealPlayer back to the way you like it, is to re-configure it again. =( Apr-05-07    chessmoron: <Knightlord> Why don't you install Windows Media Player? http://www.microsoft.com/windows/wi... Choose Player 11 in select version. RealPlayer is old school IMO. Apr-05-07    Knightlord: OK, I get it, I was already afraid so. Well maybe I'll just do that anyway, thanks! Apr-05-07    Knightlord: Hi Borat! Yes I have Media Player, so RealPlayer is old school? OK, I didn't know that, thanks. Sorry I'm a caveman with computers (and with women as well :-0) Apr-05-07    NakoSonorense: Hey wannabe... do you work with C++? Apr-05-07    WannaBe: <NakoSonorense> Not really, I work mostly with Java/XML right now. You talking about just regular C++ (Borland? Do they still exist? WindRiver Systems, etc...) Or Microsoft's Visual Studio? (.NET or the earlier version?) Or just a general computer programming language question? =) Apr-05-07    NakoSonorense: Well, I'm taking a course on computer programming in which we will be using C++ with M. Visual Studio and I wanted to ask you if you are familiar with it just in case I have a quick question. =p Apr-05-07    WannaBe: <NakoSonorense> I think programming language/concepts (as a whole) I feel comfortable answering. I just don't know the in(s)/out(s) of the Visual Studio's various options. (Besides the option to compile in debug/release mode, maybe a few other bells and whistles...) I do have Visual Studio 6.0 on my computer, (.NET is 7.0, I believe) so, if you know which version you will be using, let me know. Apr-05-07    Artar1: <WannaBe: Yar, crap, looks like we lost <OhioChessFan> =(> What happened to OhioChessFan? Did he leave chessgames.com? Thanks! Apr-06-07    WannaBe: <Artar1> I believe he did, from his profile, and I believe it's because of the deletion of his posts on the Pesci page. Apr-06-07    ganstaman: C++ is the devil. Learn python, it's the best language out there. But I guess you don't really have a choice when you work for the Devil or take a class in Devil worship. Apr-06-07    Artar1: I'm really sorry to hear this. Ohio is a great guy. Is there any way to entice him back? Apr-06-07    Archives: < I believe he did, from his profile, and I believe it's because of the deletion of his posts on the Pesci page.> What was wrong with his posts? Apr-06-07    Eyal: <I believe he did, from his profile, and I believe it's because of the deletion of his posts on the Pesci page.> Perhaps you mean the Piscopo page? Mar-19-07 (chessgames.com chessforum) <OhioChessFan: Chessgames.com, could you explain your decision to remove all posts from the Piscopo page?> <chessgames.com: <OhioChessFan> We received a complaint from somebody who believed it was disrespectful to Pierluigi Piscopo, and we concurred. If I understood what was going on correctly, several people were using the page to relay jokes told by comedian Joe Piscopo. Of course that's off topic, but the complaintant rightfully pointed out an obvious aggravating factor: Joe Piscopo's humor derives largely from poking fun at Italian stereotypes, and perhaps Pierluigi, being Italian, finds that humor in especially poor taste. There are many player pages where harmless off-topic fun is tolerated (T Music, Beer, etc.) but these are exceptional cases and not a general rule. Unlike "T Music", Pierluigi Piscopo is a relatively strong and well known player. Please understand, we're not upset with anybody, and no harm was done, but in this case we had to side with the Whistle-blower.> Apr-06-07    WannaBe: <Eyal> You are correct, I had it mixed up. Apr-07-07    WannaBe: Things not going well over at Jiffy Lube... Got this link through an e-mail, and it's L.A.'s own channel 4. http://mfile.akamai.com/12924/wmv/v... Apr-07-07    STYNTZ: thanks for the response.i hope this is your forum. i didnt know this existed !! if u could give me a detailed procedure would be much appreciated.i am not really computer literate. Apr-07-07    WannaBe: <STYNTZ> to copy/paste a game to a computer engine... Just highlight the (section) of the PGN. (e.g. put your mouse right before the header of the game's PGN) then hold down the left button of the mouse, and drag the mouse to the end of the PGN. Then select (from the menu bar) Edit->Copy. Then launch your Deep Fritz (you can launch your Fritz first, then highlight/copy, doesn't matter...) and select from Fritz's menu bar Edit->Paste->Game I hope this helps, if you need more info, please let me know.
