Apparently BoA is doing this thing where she answers questions that fans give her on Youtube. My friend needs YOUR 5 stars to be chosen! If his question gets answered I'll make him do Yellow's Kong Dance :O



If this is not allowed anymore, then close

I was intrigued by D2 PvP talk so I decided to log on and make a new character and I got this wonderful message.



Does this mean all my godly gear is gone or just my CD-key is dead? I bought my CD-key, does that have anything to do with this?

And why the hell does Blizzard decide to punish me for using D2Loader T_T

OK, this has been going on long enough and it's been annoying the hell out of me. Every night at 12:01 AM on my computer clock, the internet disconnects for a few seconds before reconnecting.

As far as I can tell I haven't put any restriction on my router times and it SHOULDN'T be disconnecting like this.

The router model is Linksys WRT54G.

I'll add more information if needed.

I felt that there won't be much interest for golf, much less the women's tour in the Sports and Games section so I just decided to post this in Blogs instead where I can vent my irritation at how dumb people can be.

Basically, the article is about the LPGA about to pass a law stating that all of their players have to be somewhat fluent in English, which basically fucks over almost ALL of the Koreans that play on this tour. Out of roughly 100 or so, 40 of them are Koreans. Out of those 40 Koreans, only about 10 can speak passable English.

Annoys the hell out of me that they're going to pass a law about language requirements in a sport. Seriously, is it necessary for a foreign basketball player to be able to speak English to play against an American as long as they are on the same page when it comes to rules? I don't see golf as a social sport (it's basically playing against yourself) and making athletes study English when they became athletes because they didn't enjoy studying is completely ridiculous.

Discuss.

EDIT: Obviously I'm probably really biased here because I'm a Korean myself so it would be interesting to get more people into this.

My laptop is fucking being annoying ...

When I log on with my regular info, it'll log in as "TEMP" and not "student" (this is a laptop from my university so it's under that name, w/e) so all my shit is harder to access. All my bookmarks and cookies and shit are on the real account.

How the fuck do I fix this? I know something is wrong with this comp if I try to run TrendMicro online scanner and the fucking browser closes by itself. -_-

Oh, and /endrant

Yea, my friend sent me this video and I was curious about what the song is. It's really catchy~

IMO we need a centralized "What Song Is This" thread lol

To start off, here's the specs on my computer currently.

* Processor: Intel T7300 Core 2 Duo (2.0GHz, 800MHz FSB, 4MB Cache)
* Graphics: Intel GMA X3100
* Operating System: Windows Vista Business
* Display: WXGA+ 1440 x 900 (LG screen)
* Hard Drive: 100GB 7200RPM (Seagate Momentus 7200.1)
* Memory: 2GB (1GB x 1GB), up to 4GB max
* Ports: 3 USB 2.0, 1 FireWire, Monitor out, modem, Ethernet, headphone out, microphone in
* Slots: 1 PC Card Slot, 1 ExpressCard slot (optional media card reader and Smart Card reader)
* Optical Drive: Ultra-slim Super-Multi Drive
* Dimensions: 13.2" x 9.3" x 1.09 - 1.26" (335mm x 237mm x 27.6 - 31.9mm)
* Weight: 5.1lbs

And it doesn't run WoW in the speed that I want it to. Currently in "enclosed spaces" it'll run very smoothly in 30-60 FPS but in big outdoor spaces it'll run at around 12-15 FPS, making play incredibly gay and choppy.

There's obviously some way to allocate more RAM to this game, it uses about 200mb, maybe 250mb max to run the program but I want it to run at 300mb or 350mb, making the game run more smoothly.

I was incredibly vague here but I hope you computer pros know what I'm talking about.

edit: The processor is Windows XP BTW even though it says Vista because my school decided to be smart for a change

Possibly long story below. I guess I'll add a synopsis at the end if you're too lazy to read.

OK, I've been working at an academy as a CA from March to June. I haven't gone there since (because there's no activity) and I know that the classes started today. I was feeling a bit nervous the day before so I called one of my friends who works there too. Basically I just verified that tomorrow was the first day and what time I should get there, but then she said that there were several meetings that happened the past few days for the CAs. I didn't receive ANY sort of phone call or e-mail, so I thought that it was weird. The weeks before the spring term ended I was asked by multiple people if I was working this summer and I said "I should be and want to" and I'm 80% sure I told that to my boss. So I'm getting kind of worried because if I don't get this job back I'm gonna get seriously fucked (this source of income, however tiny, is a big thing for me) and if my parents find out about this I'm even more fucked (because all they do is bitch anyway). What the fuck should I do here, I sent an e-mail to a counselor whom I contacted when I first wanted the job back in March.

^
I bet all of that made absolutely no sense, read synopsis.

SYNOPSIS: Apparently I'm not signed up to work this summer even though I've told multiple people I would and want to work this summer and I really need this job. To find out WTF is going on I e-mailed the counselor that gave me my job in the first place.

Give me some insight here. :-/

I just did this last night and I thought I'd share this with TL.net if anybody's interested.

Basically, if you defragment your computer, it'll defragment everything except your boot files, meaning that if you've noticed your computer doesn't start up as fast as it did when you first got it (or reformatted), that means the boot files need defragmenting.

Here's the original article I read, it's simple to follow.

---

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED: Defrag Boot Files by Command Line.

Not a lot of people know about the following command line, but what it does is defragment your boot files and moves applications to a faster location on your HDD. It can really improve boot time whether you're doing it from a clean install or not. I did it on my desktop computer and it decreased boot time by 43 seconds!

Here are the steps:

1. Click Start.
2. Then click Run...
3. Type in "cmd.exe" (without quotes).
4. Hit the Enter key.

The following window should pop up (yours should look similar):



5. Now type in "defrag c: -b" (without quotes):



6. Hit the Enter key.

DO NOT CLOSE THAT WINDOW YET

7. Now right-click on your taskbar.
8. Select Task Manager.
9. Switch over to the Processes tab.
10. Sort the processes by Image Name by clicking on that column.
11. Identify these two processes:



NOW WAIT FOR THEM TO DISAPPEAR, IT MAY TAKE AWHILE BUT BE PATIENT.

12. Once they are gone, close Task Manager.
13. Switch over to the original cmd.exe window.
14. Type in "exit" (without quotes).
15. Hit the Enter key and the window will close.
16. Download JkDefrag. (no installation required to run the program)
17. Restart into safe mode. (keep tapping F8 while it's booting; select safe mode)
18. Double click on the "JkDefrag" application (not jkdefragcmd, etc.) and let it finish its process.
19. Restart and rejoice!

There's a specific username that I want on AIM, but it's been taken. Is there any way possible that I can get that username, whether I ask AOL to shut it down so I can take the name or something or find the person online and ask them if I can somehow bribe them into giving me the username? I really want this particular username -_-

Anybody know anything about this? Yes, this is stupid shit and doesn't even warrant general but I was just wondering if anybody on TL has gone through something like this :-/
