I used the quick reply, there is no autolink thing. I dont know what the smilie codes are either, so Im at a disadvantage here. It takes firefox a minute or so to load those post windows, no idea why..

@hym: TJD won't steal my soul, he's homophobic.

[hym 358]

@vid:  Solution to the problems with the links:  Learn the codes necessary to hard code the links in yourself.

Great!

Now go on ST chat and prove your loyalty to your slave master.

ok, who want a party?? All are invited except:

vid, DT, dev, Mr.C (well.. all the staff), all members that have more posts than i have, all members that have less posts that i have, and you are also not invited! Wow, it's gonna be a really big party!

*Cookies!*

@hym: Xtra burger served as specified.  Eat hearty lad.  I could eat a pound of meat when I was your age too.  2 l chilled mug of Dr. Pepper is served.  Wow!  Isn't that stuff a laxative?  Glad you are enjoying the GIMP.  I haven't time to play with it, but I was working through the tutorials, slowly.  The main difference between it and Photoshop is the price.  If you dip both ends of yourself in holy water, the devil can't touch you.  Have a nice swim.

@vid:  I am running firefox over a DSL line and don't notice any particular delays.  I guess i am just more patient than you.  TJD is a switch hitter, so he doesn't care about your orientation.  Look up succubus some time.

@sloppet:  I guess that means a table for one.  Jacques!  Un covert pour monsieur, s'il vous plait.

Sloppet: Crashers might still come to the party...

'By some RAM then, or clear out the RAM hogs in the computer. '

I can't afford RAM, and I do clear the RAM hogs on the computer.

[A Nonny Moose 8,262]

Vid, how much virtual memory are you running for how much RAM?  Also, what kind of buffering are you running for firefox?

[Voar Tok 4]

Being new to FF, what different types of buffering are there?

Man, I can't remember the last time that I started a page in here!  Dinner and everything is on me!

[Lyhoko Leaci 770]

*This has been an automated leechy post to bypass the missing post bug. Thank you, that is all.*

*Some more thuh appears*

[A Nonny Moose 8,262]

@voar tok:  Thanks for the dinner.  I just looked for the buffering stuff, but it must be in the chrome: config stuff.  I couldn't find it, but I know its there.  You can control the number of packets that assemble before displaying any, for example.

I think I'm going to go update my CJ. But before I do, can I get a Sidewinder Fang?

Only a person who has played Freelancer will understand that...

[vid 0]

I have 224MB of RAM, a 386(?) MB paging file and accoridng to FF I have 64MB of RAM cache. If you tell me how to find what your asking I can tell you better

[A Nonny Moose 8,262]

@DP:  The autosystem extracts the definition from your mind and serves a Sidewinider Fang.  Good grief, what is that, anyway?

@vid:  For openers, if you have 224MB RAM, you have probably really got 256MB with 32MB sliced off by your graphics card.  You VM initial size should be set to 768MB with a max of 1024.  With this tiny machine, I assume you are running Windows '98SE.  If it was XP you couldn't run SC4 at all well.  Don't worry about FF performance, this will probably fix you up.

Today's been a pretty bad day. The Moose Factory will cheer me up. I just want April to end, its been "Bad Luck" month.

What would one recommend for getting a voice back?  I just got back from Game 1 of the Sabres-Flyers series, and I am mute at the moment.

It's XP. We got it when XP was new, of course. And 'OMG 512 MB RAM!!!! AMAZING!!!' and now it's 'OMG CRAP LOLOLOL' Explains why SC4 was horrible on this thing, though. How do you fix the VM?

[brancra 1,216]

justanothersim, we all have months like that every once in a great mile. But it's the bad luck that makes us appreciate our good luck.

*gives justanothersim a fortune cookie*

ryanb_sc4, do you know who Tom Golisano is? Wouldn't it be fortunate for the Queen City if he bought the Bills?

[Ryan B 35]

Do I know who he is? I met him last night!

That would be fortunate. We'd have to build a statue of him somewhere in Buffalo. He might be from Rochester, but he's truly Buffalo's sports savior!

[brancra 1,216]

Wow! How were you able to meet him!? Every time he comes to my neck of the woods, it's impossible to get really close to the guy because he always has a crowd around him!

[justanothersim86 83]

Fortune Cookie reads: "You will get chased down the street by a pack of weiner dogs until you trip over a fire hydrant and break your arm."

Montreal actually won. Wow. Take that Carolina!

How about tyring the computer in my basement? You might as well take a nap when starting it up, and then nap some more while trying to load something. The only thing I know that is inside of it is that it has a 3GB HD.

[A Nonny Moose 8,262]

@justanothersim86:  Thanks for the cookie.  Look, you have attracted the cookie monster.  COOKIE, cookie, oh!, C-O-O-K-I-E!  The moose restrains the monster, holding it down to one cookie, and the KK dragon carts the bounder off.

@ryanb_SC4:  Take long deep breaths and gargle with this cold llama milk.

@vid:  Well, here goes:

1. right click on My Computer and pick properties
2. On this page pick Advanced and click Settings in the Performance box
3. Pick Advanced again on the new page
4. On this page, click on Change in the Virtual Memory box
5. On the Virtual Memory page click the custom size button, fill in your settings, and click Set
6. Click OK on each page until you get back to your desktop
7. Boot your machine

[hym 358]

@NOBody:  Thanks for the service.  I hadn't heard that Dr. Pepper is a laxative, but then, I haven't noticed any odd effects from drinking it.  I have to ask where you found tutorials for using the GIMP; all I've seen is user documentation.  Unfortunately, taking a swim in the holy water probably isn't going to do me much good; I found that TJD is renting my soul for secondary income.  I looked up succubus.  If hell hath no fury like a women scorned, I'd hate to find out what happens if you get one of those things mad at you.

@vid:  I don't know how fast your RAM is, but 256MB isn't enough for your average user (if videocards are sporting more G-DDR RAM than you have for main memory, it's time to upgrade).  I have 512MB and I really need to buy another 512MB of RAM to improve my system performance (although I need to upgrade the videocard too).

@Leech:  I was talking with a guy who owns a computer shop and he said that someone once came in with a machine that had so much spyware and such that it took 20 minutes for the computer to boot.

[vid 0]

It says VM can be 336-632..

I think Im fine with it now, Im not in the mood to do it right now. I'm too busy making myself look like shat in chat atm.

I was sittin' pretty in the suite level for Game 1.  The suite I was sitting in is four suites away from Golisano's.  I caught him in the hallway, shook his hand, and thanked him for saving the Sabres.  Great guy.

N_O_Body - Worked like a charm!  I'll probably need a constant supply for as long as the Sabres are in the playoffs.
