Jan-16-26 WannaBe chessforum   WannaBe: 12m in. Not impressed      Jan-16-26 Chessgames - Politics    WannaBe: Zed's dead. Zed's dead. (if one is to go down the 'Pulp Fiction' path) "That is A tasty burger!!"      Jan-16-26 Chessgames - Sports    WannaBe: Kershaw will pitch for Team USA in World Baseball Classic in March https://www.yahoo.com/sports/mlb/br...      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 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-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 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 303 OF 750 ·  Later Kibitzing> Jun-18-08    WannaBe: <Travis Bickle> I see no reason why XP can't do/handle what you need... Jun-19-08    ravel5184: <WannaBe> Just off topic, but what's with your username? Seems a little non-chess-related. Of course, mine is probably no better ... Jun-19-08    WannaBe: <ravel5184> Well, before I decided to join and was thinking of a name to go by, I read the 'User Name Criteria' section, and I was thinking to myself, I wanna be a better player... =) Jun-19-08    ravel5184: Well, so do I, but you don't hear me bragging about it! Jun-19-08    WannaBe: <ravel5184> It's not bragging, it's self-deprecating humour! Jun-21-08    WannaBe: http://youtube.com/watch?v=e-LOtKII... Remember, mercury is dangerous... Jun-24-08    sitzkrieg: wannabe, do you maybe know how to convert pgn files into pdb files? (if possible I want to create an opening book for open chess on palm, but I have no clue on how to put it in PDB format) I know you know (almost) everything about technology and computers so I thought I 'd ask you:o Jun-24-08    WannaBe: <sitzkrieg> The only thing I found online is for Protein Data Bank file format... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protei... I'm not sure if this is the right thing that you're asking/talking about. =( Jun-24-08    sitzkrieg: haha:o no I don't think that is it. Meanwhile i found some more info on it; http://palmopenchess.sourceforge.net/ I think it is the extension given to documents for the palm pocket computers, amongst other for the opening book files of the palm version of the open chess program. I think I'll apply for the conduit/tools test thingy and find out more! Thanks anyway! Jun-26-08    WannaBe: Personal favour... I came across this question on a 'test' for job interview: Using Java, what is/are the differences between these two declarations: 1. String a = "String"; 2. String a = new String("String"); My answer was, <NONE>, let the compiler handle it. a, is/are there any differences? b, why, (all of a sudden) low level handling of declarations of variables so important in the age of massive RAMs and high processor speed, and compilers that is designed to optimize your code?? Jun-26-08    WannaBe: From what I know, when the BoSox wins, they play a song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a65H... Now, this song, (which happens to be one of my favourite oldies...) was originated by <THE STANDELLS>: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5apE... 'N now, the present day Standells: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqgK... Ahhh... but I still love that River Charles, (which does run through Boston!!) Jun-26-08    WannaBe: Chevys: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FoqH... Dodges: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxwx... Cobras: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKFr... Jul-01-08    WannaBe: Random observations: From my e-mail accounts, both @ home and @ yahoo.com... I'd get a flood of junk mails, and then when the Admins catches on, they'd cease to reach my mail box. Then about 3 maybe 6 days later, I'd get another flood of junk e-mails, viagra, Cialis, Lottery, Male Enlargement, make money quick, make money at home, etc... etc... etc... You name it, I've (got) received it! Conclusion... Them hackers are still a step ahead of the system admins, until there is a 'fool proof' way, (do you still get junk mail through your regular mail/post service????) we have no way of stopping these spams. Jul-01-08    Travis Bickle: <WannaBe> Yeah I got alot of junker mail too. I find if you change your email address you've had for a long time and maybe use a few others from different providers the clutter cuts down a bit. Example I used to use AOL for years and I left that account open though I dont use it. I went to gmail and another mail provider. My spam still piles on to my now (semi extinct AOL account) and my two other ones are freer. But we'll never get rid of these animals stuffing our mailboxes with this annoying junk unless we can develope a cyberspace dynamite hahaha. P.S. on the subject of cialis, viagra, and male enhancement, wouldnt you just know a guy like Hugh Hefner whos had a zillion women after he created the Playboy empire, now when he gets old they invent products for him to go at it until he dies with a smile on his face haha. Some guys live charmed lives! Jul-01-08    ravel5184: <WannaBe> I am a premium member now! If you would like to visit The House of Chess you are very welcome to (it is open 24/7). ravel5184 chessforum I am looking forward to another correspondence game (my current opponent is a little below my playing strength - it is move 8 and he is down a piece). Jul-01-08    WannaBe: <ravel5184> Where do you play at? GameKnot by chance? If so, what is your name there? Mine is WannaBeCG. On a side note, here is what happens when you over-expand: http://biz.yahoo.com/rb/080701/star... Jul-01-08    ravel5184: <WannaBe> On my chessforum! Chessgames.com says you are allowed to play correspondence games over the internet on your chessforum! Would you like to play? P.S. What is "GameKnot", anyway? Jul-01-08    WannaBe: <ravel5184> GameKnot is: http://gameknot.com/ Jul-02-08    ravel5184: All right, but will you look at my chessforum? I am very excited as I only got my premium membership yesterday and I'll only be having it for three more months. Jul-03-08    jessicafischerqueen: Hoot! thats right. I said hoot. HI <mANNbEE>!!! Jul-03-08    micartouse: <WannaBe> Your profile mentions you're a small business owner. If you don't mind me asking, what sorts of things do you do? I'm just curious because my brother and others in my family have small businesses. Jul-04-08    WannaBe: <micartouse> I own a small pub & grill. Jul-04-08    jessicafischerqueen: But it has Hooters waitresses. hoot Jul-04-08    micartouse: <jfq> Of course. No respectable business plan is complete without them. <WannaBe> Well, best of luck getting back into programming if that's what you're hoping for. I'd think entrepreneurial experience would enhance any resume even if it's non-related. Jul-04-08    WannaBe: <micartouse> Thanks! And a happy, safe 4th for everyone, don't play with the fire-crackers!!
