Nice of you to drop in Anoushik

I found this at gadgetopia.com: Emphasis in bold is mine - based on the above, probably the site you're looking at has some empty tags with respect to the images and/or links, hence you're getting an empty tooltip. Does this behaviour happen with all sites or just a few specific sites?

I wonder if you're referring to 'alt' tags - Internet Explorer displays these tags in a yellow 'tooltip' type of popup. Alt tags are additional tags that are used in html to identify/clarify certain images, links etc. My understanding is that 'alt' tags are not supposed to be treated as tooltips (according to the W3C specificiations. IE does it anyway. Firefox doesn't - however that doesn't explain why you would get an empty tooltip.

HAHAHAHAHA!!! ROTFL - I must have missed all of that wedding talk! So when's sip actually getting married?? The cast of characters is still pretty much the same... although i'm still trying to fiigure our the flower girl bit....

Hi, I started a new thread with Kanafayim's questions - you can find it HERE. BTW, welcome to the board, Kanafayim.

Agreed. As a 'progressive' Armenian male, I couldn't care less if my lover is a virgin or not. But many men have want it both ways. They like to have lots of sex with many women before marriage - but then they turn around and expect virginity upon marriage. It simply can't happen that way - there won't be enough virgins!

Can I modify this? I would replace 'lousy' with 'lazy'. I know I'm generalizing here - but most sexually prolific men are out to satisfy their own urges/needs, and not necessarily those of his partners. As a result, they may pay less attention to certain aspects of the sexual act that are more geared towards her satisfaction. What an eager, less-experienced lover lacks in terms of 'experience' he will certainly make up for with his enthusiams, and genuine desire to 'prove' himself as a good lover. What it boils down to is motivation I suppose...

And with that, we'll do away with all the ambition (and hence innovation, academic achievement, research & discovery) in the world. If we're all 'content with what we have', who's going to develope new medicines & vaccines? Who's going to innovate and discovery less expensive, less pollutant sources of energy? Who will strive for excellence? Complacency is not a solution, albeit, it's probably more stress-free. I agree that we should keep things in perspective, but a little ambition, goal setting and achievement are all good things. We can't just ignore the worries of tomorrow - tomorrow is way too important - for ourselves and our children.

Well Eve, I certainly wouldn't have wanted poor Abass80 to be ignored on his very first post BTW welcome Abass Oh, I'm sure Juggy (aka Accelerated) has played it, and would have some more 'useful' commentary than those of us who haven't the faintest clue what we would do with such a game...

Even my uncle, who's in his seventies thinks they're pretty cool Kudos to SOAD, once more.

BTW welcome to the board seb

It never fails - as soon as you think you no longer need something and throw it in the trash....

Hi all, I don't know if anyone here can help, but I'm looking for a cost effective & scalable solution for distributing opt-in voice-mail based messages through a basic server/DB platform. Essentially, I'm planning to feed a calling system from a DB on a web server. The software I'm considering to manage the call queue is Broadcast By Phone from Voicent (http://www.voicent.com/autodialers.php). If we use their voice-modem, which on the most part works well, there's an issue with detecting what happens on the other end of the line to correctly time the message... pick up, voice mail, busy, etc. The one modem I have found has an Agere chip set and correctly performs the detects operation, is no longer available - and I cannot find any other similar modems. So even if I use the said modem we will be out of luck if we eventually need to upgrade the system. I'm also looking into alternative solutions with telephony modems but the cards are much more expensive and would require a T1 to work. Again, more $$$. The system is currently set to run on a Windows server but could be changed to a LINUX server. We are also willing to entertain any possibility, whether hardware or software. We need to send out a few thousand (volume to be determined) voice messages within a two week period at 12 hours a day. We also need reporting capabilities for completed and uncompleted calls with a follow up call cue. Any input or suggestions wwould be appreciated.

Edward, you can download it here: http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/ Follow the instructions to import your bookmarks and browse using firefox instead of Internet Explorer. Do this only AFTER your system is cleaned - and if you complete all the windows updates, you'll avoid most spyware.

I've tried it in climbing gyms, I would love to go for climbs outdoors, but I've never had the time/motication. Soon, soon.... But I do go hiking regularly. This past summer I went backwoods camping for 9 days - talk about isolation, I didn't see a soul for 8 of those days ! Lots of hiking, and of course, we had to carry our own gear, food, water etc. Luckily we avoided the bears.

The thread is over a year and a half old! The files in question were probably long removed from those sites!

Never played it - but I'm sure it's interesting.

It can also help to 'immunize' your machine using Spybot, along with all the Windows updates that are available. Finally, ditch Internet Explorer and use Firefox, that'll make you less susceptible to spyware. All of these measures can help, but if you or members of your family download and install little search utilities, smilies for your email etc. etc. etc., than you'll just get them back all over again.

There's probably something to be said of genetic 'memory', perhaps. I haven't read any literature that indicates sexual preference to be generally learned. However, homosexuality has existed probably as long as sex has existed - more often than not, society (and religion) has succeeded in pushing it under the rug, and homosexuals have long lived under the impression that they are considered deviants by the large majority of the population. It is only recently, in modern society, that we (as a society) have been able to strive for true equality of people - race, gender, age, and yes, sexual preference. It is, IMO, a very christian ideal - and I should hope that you Sasun, can look beyond the stereotypes and realise that gays & lesbians are people like you and me - they love, they ought to be loved; and what they do is through love. It's not hurting anyone, so how can it be wrong, or un-christian?

Sorry Sasun, but you're way off base here. A concious decision to 'become' a criminal is one thing. Being born with an inherent sexual preference is entirely another. No one 'chooses' a life of homosexuality - why would you think that? Essentially the big choice for homosexuals is whether or not they will repress who they are in order to fit into some people 'ideal' perception of society. Sexuality is natural - there's nothing 'Godly' about repression and fear.

About a year ago, the LCD on my car stereo started acting up. At first, a few numbers didn't quite look right (8's looked like 0's etc.) But the problem got worse, to the point where I couldn't tell which CD track was playing, or which radio station I was tuned to, and even the clock figures went out of whack. It's been almost 6 months now that I guess for the radio stations, flick randomly to find CD tracks, not to mention being late once in a while 'cause I don't have a friggin' clock that works! Good news, after I check the warranty specifics, I realised that the audio system is fully covered. So I took the car in to the dealer to get the radio fixed/replaced. They claimed it wasn't covered I insisted, and wouldn't take no for an answer, and eventually they conceded that in fact it was covered. BUT THEN, they claimed that there was nothing wrong with it and that it played fine, and the sound was good. The fact that the LCD was dysfunctional wasn't an issue. I was fuming!! After about an hour more of hassling the service manager, the dealer FINALLY relented and ordered me a new radio. Earlier this week, they called to let me know the part was in. This morning, as I was driving to the dealer to get it replaced, I noticed that the LCD, magically, was working perfectly!!!!! I just about lost my mind. How does this happen?????

Just a clarification: There are fanatics in every religion - it's not because of Islam (the religion) that there are so many problems in the middle east. It's a result of the fanaticism. Fanatic Christians are arguably just as bad as their Islamic counterparts. I would like to belive that the gross majority of Muslims belleve in similar values as ours - respect for thy neighbour, love etc. etc.

Can't help you with the salt thing - I use sea salt in some recipes, but I rarely salt my food. There's already so much salt in much of what we eat. Gas stoves are preferable - I've never cooked on an electric stove 'successfully' - it always takes longer to heat up, and holds it's heat longer so your prone to over-cooking, or preparing one dish too late! With Gas the heat's instant, and you usually have a greater control over the level of heat. These days, there are electric cooktops (ceramic) which heat quite quickly. I've never cooked on one, so I don't have a verdict, but my friends tell me their almost as good as gas.

Sorry Sip - Food chopper or not (regardless of the $$) a good set of knives is probably THE most important tool in the arsenal of some who likes to cook (and for whom food is not merely an evil necessity).
