I LOVE my new netbook and Windows 7 Home edition!

mentalward @mentalward (14690) • United States 28 Dec 09

I just have to tell everyone about my newest toy, a new netbook. I've been wanting one since they first came out and played with one set up as a display to see if it "fit" me. Well, it did. And, it does. And, I couldn't be...

7shotsofwisdom I agree with you, Windows 7 is awesome. For once, Microsoft actually listened to its customers and gave us the kind of OS we want. ^^ I have big hands so I get tired easily when using a netbook. My wife loves it though.

flagella08 @flagella08 (5065) • Philippines 28 Dec 09

i have lots of friends who are already in their right age to marry but prefer to remain single for some reasons. What's wrong with being single? A whole lot if you go by what you see around you. Whether you visit a bookstore or a...

7shotsofwisdom I have friends who are still single even in their early 40's, and yet they're perfectly happy. They certainly are doing better than married people that I know. I don't think there's anything wrong with being single. Some people are born free-spirited. Some...

7shotsofwisdom I too am starting all over again, after months of absence from mylot. I'm still kinda bummed about the idea of starting all over again. I can't even use emoticons and it bums me out. ^^ The good thing about starting all over again is you get to pick who...

My daughter went and got a tattoo

SharonJohnson @SharonJohnson (459) • United States 27 Dec 09

My daughter is 15 years old. She went behind my back and got her tat done. I was wondering was it legal for her to have it done without my permission? She got it done in the bronx but won't tell me where. I could not do anything...

7shotsofwisdom I would assume it would be illegal in any place for a minor to get tattooed without parental consent. But like you said, it's done and over with and there's not much you can do. If it's any consolation, she might grow up years from now hating that tattoo....

harpreet89 @harpreet89 (723) • India 27 Dec 09

Hi friends, i need some help in purchasing a good graphic card. Well i have a restricted budget(Rs. 3500 or U.S. $75) though i can raise it a bit if the card i get is good and its price is justified. So my requirement is to play...

7shotsofwisdom You'll be needing a true-rated power supply. I used a 9400GT before with a generic power supply but it gets unstable especially if you're running demanding graphics tasks. Once I switched to a true-rated Corsair PSU, the instability vanished. The 9400GT does...

7shotsofwisdom I looked up your profile first to see where you are. First, to answer your question, you can't transfer Paypal money to Western Union. I'm guessing though that the reason you're asking that is because you want to find ways for you to get your Paypal money...

7shotsofwisdom Ditch it and install Windows 7. ^^ Kidding aside, try to install Service Pack 2 for Vista. And of course, there's no better way to speed up a PC than to add more RAM. My first suggestion is still the best though - use Windows 7 instead. Happy holidays....

7shotsofwisdom It's a Chinese tradition meant to drive evil spirits away. The Chinese believe that as the new year enters, good and bad fortunes are also waiting in the wings to enter. But if you make loud noises, evil spirits won't be inclined to hang around. This is mainly...

7shotsofwisdom If someone said to you upfront that he is a hacker, then he's more likely just boasting. A real hacker doesn't announce "I am a hacker". Any hacker would find it kinda lame, to say the least. Real hackers make their work speak for themselves. In other words,...

7shotsofwisdom The first thing I would suggest is grab a CD lens cleaner. It may just be a dusty lens that's keeping your PS2 from reading your disks. If you don't have one at the moment, open the cd tray and blow air inside using a vacuum cleaner to dislodge any grime or...
