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. American country https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUB...      Jan-01-26 chessgames.com chessforum    WannaBe: That is weird, I posted the answer to <TGA> at 7PM Pacific/10 PM Eastern, and now it shows as I posted Jan 1 2026(???????)

Trying to copy your avatar is really a more difficult issue: _#_______________________### _####___________________#### __#####________________##### __######______________###### ___#######____________###### _____########________####### ______#########_____####### ________########____####### _________#########__####### _____________######_##### ________________######## __________############# ________################# _______###___############ ______#####__############# _____##################### ______################### _______################# ___________########## Oct-31-07    chessmoron: That's not <WannaBe>, it's the educational nudie mag, Playboy. Oct-31-07    whiteshark: <chessmoron>, I really tried hard for several hours. Pure and remarkable coincidence, that is! Oct-31-07    WannaBe: Thanks guys... I can't fault anyone except my own stupidity... Just when you know/thought you can anticipate all events... Maybe that's why my chess game ends up the same way! =) Oct-31-07    WannaBe: So, I was dinky-ing around on youtube again... Doing more research on oldies. And I wanted to look up 'Angel of the Morning' by Merrilee Rush, didn't come across <NUN'ING>, but got a few hits on Juice Newton and her version. Oh well, another failure, what else is new... then I saw this version by Nina Simone: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TMt... It's her voice, just the lyrics are on the screen. I said to me li'l self, wow, who is she?! Gotta look it up!! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nina_s... Nov-01-07    WannaBe: There are song(s) that should just be left 'alone' and never be touched, never, ever, again... Compare http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kTr... with http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhuD... Nov-01-07    WannaBe: And those of you who isn't singing, I <KNOW> what you're doing! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXCi... Nov-01-07    brankat: <WannaBe> The entire country is thoroughly corrupted. So why worry about a few files :-) Nov-01-07    RonB52734: <WannaBe> Ok, 'cuz I was going to blame you :) Nov-01-07    WannaBe: "I am frustrated and angry. I believe that I am absolutely 100 percent innocent." She believe? You mean she <DON'T KNOW> ?? http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071101... Maybe it's just a case of bad English. Nov-01-07    cu8sfan: <WannaBe: What a bloody freaking day, should have just stayed in bed...> Cool, is this the forum for venting anger with computers? Three years ago I bought a Mac to get rid of all the Windows trouble. Last weekend I installed Leopard. After ten reboots, twenty screen freezes, something similar to a blue screen and an airport card that was not recognized anymore I was more than willing to trade back. Now I read that the firewall is rubbish and the first MacTrojans (or iTroys) are about... Nov-01-07    WannaBe: This forum can be used for <ANY> venting... even air ducts.. Nov-01-07    WannaBe: Early commentary on 'Troublesome Young Men', N. Chamberlain was an idiot... Before reading this book, I just thought he was naive/stupid. Good read, great book, about 60% of my way through, probably be done with it sometimes next week, then it will go on the my shelve next to my other WWII related books. Nov-02-07    WannaBe: <hitman84> Okay, what version of JRE? And what is the problem?? Did you get the download from sun? http://java.sun.com/javase/download... And is the packaged file a .bin? Nov-02-07    hitman84: Man this whole thing sucks. I've installed it and even created a symbolic link but still isn't working. Here's the file jre-6u3-linux-i586-rpm.bin Do I need to d'load JDK as well ? Nov-02-07    WannaBe: <hitman84> No, you <SHOULD NOT> need the JDK, all you need is the JRE (for example, to look at the and move the pieces here at CG.com, all you need is the JRE). What/how are you trying/testing to see if it worked? In this link http://java.sun.com/javase/download... there are install/download documentations. See if they help any. Nov-02-07    hitman84: Ok I d'loaded this file.. jre-1_5_0_13-linux-i586-rpm.bin What is the installation procedure ? Nov-02-07    hitman84: Ok one last try :) Nov-02-07    WannaBe: <hitman84> http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/jre/... *Usually* on a .bin file, you can just execute it, double click then select 'RUN'. Be sure you have the correct user priviledges. Nov-02-07    hitman84: A newer version of JRE is already installed and that thing doesn't work :( Nov-02-07    WannaBe: <hitman84> What are you trying that isn't working? And here's the notes on installation for Linux: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/inst... Nov-02-07    hitman84: Yes I changed the permissions. I didn't use the chmod. Just right click on the file and enable execute. Then I compiled the binary file after which you get an RPM. The RPM didn't install as I already have a newer version installed. Nov-02-07    WannaBe: <hitman84> Maybe we should back track to your original problem, what was not working? Viewing the games here? or something else? Nov-02-07    hitman84: <WannaBe>Java and javascript are enabled in my browser settings. I get that usual green symbol in place of the java applet when I open a web page. Nov-02-07    WannaBe: Be back about 90 min... Luncheon for co-worker retirement. Anyone else would like to jump in and help, please do. =) Jump to page #   (enter # from 1 to 750) search thread:    < Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 251 OF 750 ·  Later Kibitzing>
