Hello folks, slavetothegroove, debob and I are looking for a place and wondering if anyone knows of anything available (ottawa). We are looking for at least 2 bedrooms, preferably a house, $1200 or so tops, especially if utilities are extra. If anyone sees anything, please leave us a message. Thanks,

It's a good find, this place. When I worked for the City of Ottawa it was a life saver since when you work in the public sector (from what I've seen) you can't really do more than 3 or so hours of work or you might look odd.

Buy more RAM, break the document down as said above. Shut down any other programs that might be using your ram (those nice little icons on the desktop and by the clock take at least 1mb of RAM each and if you have a bunch by the clock it means you have a bunch of shit running which will for sure slow you down and eat up memory).

I'm matt, how are you all on this wonderful day? Man it's nice out here in ottawa

My favorite place, thailand, good job. I like Ko Samet the best. The island is a national park (though it's like any of the other islands with bars and shit, just not near as many tourists) so it's cleaner than most other places (much less dogs and such). It also has the finest white sand beaches I've ever seen. The best part, though, is that because it's a park there's no cops on the island. You can get weed fairly safely (well, safely as any drugs in a place where there are very heavy punishments for it). Also, I don't know which bar it is but when you go to the full moon party (you MUST go to a full moon party, look it up) there's a bar on the beach there that sells mushroom shakes. They are tasty and the most powerful mushrooms I've ever had. When you get onto the beach from the main entrance (Cactus will be on your left) you turn right and it's a couple bars down (it's a little place somewhere between there and the Zoom Bar), forget the name. Meet some local expatriates there (careful as some of the tourists are actually paid cop snitches and they have nothing whatsoever against entrapment there) and ask which bar, you won't regret it...

Here's one major rule when you get a computer: Partition your hard drive. Most people leave the default of just C: drive. This means that if you have to reinstall windows, you wipe everything. If you take the time to partition your drive (it's really easy with partition magic) you can make a D: (or more) drive. If you have to reinstall windows, only C: gets wiped, whatever other partitions you have on there are fine (unless you really killed the hard drive which can happen). This means that a quick reinstall of windows and shabam, all the files are still there (the programs should still get installed on C: and will have to be reinstalled). This has saved me countless times. I've got knoppix and it's great but if you partition, you'll save yourself a headache later on. An even better solution is to use a 40gig or smaller HDD just for windows and programs and get another physical drive to store data on. That's the safest bet of all. Disclaimer: Like I said, if you really screw up the drive (or it gets physically damaged), you're up shit creek. If you only do something like delete the file/partition/boot table or even erase C:, you're fine. My two cents

Soul Jazz Orchastra...good place to bring a date?

If you bring her, you must dance... -
isn't witchcraft a religion, wicca or something? Halloween is halloween, you get dressed up. I think it's cruel to send the kids to the computer room (what if the parents can't afford a costume or are too damn lazy to cut a hole in a sheet for the child?). I also think they have perfect grounds for sueing, though they shouldn't get much I hope (it's not worth more than a $100 or so for the trouble unless a lesson must be taught). I do agree with the schoolboard keeping religion out of the school, though. Bad to mix those and it's bad to mix religion and politics (the last equals death for sure, just check all over the world).

"The Secret" holy crap... it works!
mattm replied to dimafleck: the living legend.'s topic in Soundboard
I think it works. ----------spoiler---------- I woke up one morning with no coffee money so all I thought about for a bit was coffee money. I found $5 on the ground. Two days later I once again had no coffee money. Did the same thing and what do you know, I found another $5. pretty funny. -
also check behind all seats and couch cushions, etc. The main place I lose things is right out in the open. I look everywhere only to find they're right there. My advice is get someone else over real quick and have them look (someone not from your house as they have a fresh perspective of the place). Good luck dude

Yeah, same here I think but I'm not sure because I'm pretty confused. Then again, I get confused about a lot of shit, hehehehehehe -
Ipods kick ass. If yours is broken then I'm sorry but mine has many thousands of hours of play on it, 3 years old and it works like a charm. It's been dropped more times than I can remember (if not for the gela-skin it would probably be completely ruined on the outside, fortunately the skin takes most of the damage).

I say it's up to the individual though I can say that I would never do something such as wait until I was married to have sex. Sex has been around much, much longer than marriage and it's way too fun to put off that long (especially if you're like me and not married at 28 or older and probably won't be married for at least a little bit longer, then again you never know).

I started at 13 and the only regret I have is that I'd be a rich man if I hadn't. Otherwise I love it. I have ADD and it helps me out with studying and concentrating like mad (which ritalin will also do but not as good and it strips me of my emotions which is no fun at all). Now, would I tell 13 year olds to start smoking? Definitely not but I wouldn't rag them out for it either. That's not a great answer is it?
