Jan-20-26 WannaBe chessforum   WannaBe: Re: Star Trek Academy <WannaBe: 12m in. Not impressed> So, I did not finish episode one, it's still in my queue, but I did manage to read some of the reviews... And the reviews have not been kind. Some even compared episodes 1 and 2 (released the same day) to the very much ...      Jan-20-26 Chessgames - Sports   WannaBe: <perfidious> Probability and Statistics was a course required to obtain a degree in mathmatics and also computer science. Either one course or multiple courses. This led me into the fascination of how a non-predictable outcome can be quantified and an odd be established. ...      Jan-20-26 Hort vs de Firmian, 1986   WannaBe: <Breunor> Good question, I ran this game through the computer game analysis and: 31...Kg6 32.Bxa7 Bc4 33.Nd5 Nc6 34.Bc5 Ne5 35.Ke3 Bf1 36.Bd4 ⩱ +0.87 (41 ply) Possibly white was low on time and don't want to risk the chance to reaching move 40      Jan-19-26 R Toran vs M Valls Tona, 1948    WannaBe: Well, if you play f4, there is mate in 250...      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-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.

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 487 OF 750 ·  Later Kibitzing> Jan-15-13    Travis Bickle: I installed ...it's working like a Champ! ; P 1 last question. Do I have to install that patch or was it installed when I downloaded this program? Thanks, Travis Jan-15-13    chessmoron: It's already installed. Jan-16-13    WannaBe: Another Boeing 787 Dreamliner incident, not looking too good... Jan-16-13    chancho: <WannaBe> how do you get rid of empty folders in the comp? Jan-16-13    WannaBe: <chancho> right click on that folder, select delete. Right click on your trash/recycle bin, select Empty. In theory, this will delete them, but any computer forensic expert will (still) be able to retrieve them. Jan-16-13    chancho: <WannaBe> I tried that. It says it could not find the program, and yet it is still there. Maybe it's malware? Jan-16-13    WannaBe: <chancho> I am guessing you are logged in as an user who have administrative rights to that PC, are you running XP/Vista/Win7/Win8? Does the folder have non-english characters? Sometimes this will cause problems. If the folder was/is in use (e.g. opened) the system will not let you delete it. (Sometimes, your OS don't know you've already closed that folder...) Reboot your PC, and try to delete it again. Jan-16-13    chancho: I have Windows 7. Thanks for the suggestions. Jan-16-13    WannaBe: <chancho> Let me know, sounds like an interesting little puzzle. Jan-20-13    WannaBe: Flakers lost in Toronto, D. Howard got ejected in/from the game. Jan-20-13    perfidious: So much for the easy part of the road trip-on to Chitown and Memphis. The way Lakers have played on the road....ugh. Jan-20-13    WannaBe: The Flakers are 6 games under .500, 3 games out of 8th playoff slot, and 4.5 games away from Western Conference last place Suns... Next year. Jan-21-13    WannaBe: So nice that we can have a day off to watch the Inauguration! So nice, too, that my work place have TV that we can watch the Inguguration on. =)) Jan-21-13    perfidious: <WannaBe> Just looked at the line for Lakers' game at Chicago tonight-can't believe they're laying a point! Jan-21-13    WannaBe: Betting the house on Chicago... Jan-21-13    perfidious: IF I were a bettor, think I would too..... Jan-21-13    WannaBe: 20 to 17, Chicago ahead, the home team missed a shot, three Lakers around the basket, and who gets the rebound and the easy put back bucket??? Un-freakin'-bee-leee-able. Next year. Jan-21-13    WannaBe: Pau forced up an ugly shot, when a teammate was feet away wide open, then tried to beat the shot clock by hoisting a 3, and that was blocked by Noah. I still don't see this team doing double screen or a simple back-door cut to the basket... Heck, run a pick-n-roll!! Next year... Jan-21-13    WannaBe: With the (quarter's) clock running down, instead of putting up a shot, the Flakers passed the ball, as the buzzard sounds... I really feel for Mike D'Antonio, you can only scream and yell at these multi-millionairs so much. Can't (really) bench them, the Buss family are paying them a ton of money, and sitting on the pine drinking Gatorade is not going the Busses very happy. But from what I can see on the court, I'd rather we trade everyone, get high Lottery picks, and go through 3 years of rebuilding. Trade everyone, even the hotdog seller. Trade the hotdog seller to the Clippers. :-) Jan-21-13    WannaBe: Flakers actually tied it at the end of the three quarters?!?! Jan-21-13    NakoSonorense: Down by 7 with 3:15 left to play. Not looking good. Jan-22-13    WannaBe: 95-83 Chi Bulls over the LA Flakers. The purple and gold will get Tuesday off before that long journey from Chicago to Memphis, to face the Griz. Jan-22-13    perfidious: Chicago to Memphis: nice, easy drive down I-55 (or 57 to 55, if you like). Ten hours or so. Jan-22-13    WannaBe: They get bathroom breaks?! I'm so going there to work! http://news.yahoo.com/chinese-worke... Jan-23-13    WannaBe: D. Howard wants to reset the season, and so far, the Flakers are losing in Memphis...
