alexdiazgranados The sad thing about the feature film is that Douglas Adams actually was working on it at the time of his too-early death of a heart attack in 2001. As of this writing, by the way, I still have not seen it.

What happened to my Yahoo! account?

Daddy Neil @neildc (17238) • Lapu-Lapu City, Philippines 13 Jun 08

This day is a very bad day for. I don't think Friday the Thirteenth has something to do with this. When I tried to log-in to Yahoo this morning, the Sign in to Yahoo page keeps coming back. It says that [i]Invalid...

alexdiazgranados So sorry to have heard about your Yahoo woes, but maybe it was a bad day all over the place for Yahoo users. On Friday, I couldn't get into my Messenger, which was less serious than your issue, but I had to delete my Messenger, go to Yahoo through Internet...

What was the last movie you saw in theaters?

fluffysue @fluffysue (1482) • United States 16 Jun 08

I think the last movie I saw was "P.S. I Love You", which I thought would be more of a romantic comedy, but was actually quite depressing. Hopefully I did not give too much away, as you could have guessed this much from watching...

alexdiazgranados Well, as of late I haven't been a habitual "movies in theaters" kinda guy, but that's a matter of circumstance rather than choice. Nevertheless, I've seen Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull not once but twice. The next movie I want to go see is...

Sid Meier's Civilization series...I'm a fan. Are you?

alexdiazgranados @alexdiazgranados (678) • United States 7 Feb 07

Since 1992, I've been a fan of Sid Meier's Civilization series, a so-called "god game" where you start a civilization from the humblest of beginnings, then slowly but surely get it to expand into a mighty empire by gaining...

alexdiazgranados You really should at least try getting Civ IV. It really can get addictive, so be prepared to love the Save Game option to avoid getting your wife mad at you!

alexdiazgranados Right now, the only Star Wars game I've played recently has been Star Wars: X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter. I've attempted to play Empire at War but it's harder to figure out than I figured.

BEWARE - New PayPal Email Scam

freak369 @freak369 (5113) • United States 11 Aug 07

I was so worried about this and it looked SO official but it is a scam. From my email: We recently noticed one or more attempts to log in to your PayPal account from a foreign IP address. If you recently accessed your...

alexdiazgranados I, too, have received such e-mails, almost on a daily basis at that. Thing is, though, that if you had taken some time to look over that message carefully, you'd have noticed a few giveaways that would tell you that the "official-looking" mail was a...

alexdiazgranados Personally, I could take her or leave her. I do appreciate the fact that Judy Sheindlin takes no BS from anyone, especially guys who think they are "all that" and smarter than everyone but are really dim-witted losers who take advantage of their...

alexdiazgranados While I have friends who own two (or more) PCs, I only own one. The only time I owned two was when I switched from Apple IIe to an MS-DOS-based 386 PC, but when the Apple's monitor died, I gave the computer away and stayed with my sole PC. I have gotten a few...

Without keyboard....

hora_fugit @hora_fugit (5862) • India 6 Nov 07

Once my mouse just stopped to work and for many days we had to do all the work with keyboard only. Well, that was not much trouble for me as I am a 'keyboardist' (as my sister calls me) and had found beforehand how to move mouse...

alexdiazgranados I don't think I could ever function without either a mouse or a keyboard. I write for a living, and for me to depend on an onscreen keyboard substitute would drive me crazy!

Christmas music...

Kareng @kareng (68220) • United States 6 Nov 07

The stores in my area are already starting to play Christmas music. I was a little shocked but I guess why not since they have Christmas decorations out already. Do you think this is too early? Are stores playing Christmas music...

alexdiazgranados I haven't been to a mall in a while; last time I went to one was to see "Grindhouse," and that was in April. I think putting Christmas decorations and playing holiday music before Thanksgiving is way too soon...which is one reason that makes me glad I shop on...

Rising Gasoline Prices--Spiking In November

Kareng @kareng (68220) • United States 2 Nov 07

I remember last year in November that gasoline prices hit an all time high in my area. It seems to be happening again this year. We are almost up to the spike of 1.89 a gallon here already in the beginning of November. My...

alexdiazgranados I'm not sure if it's simply a case of the oil companies taking advantage of us. Partly, maybe, but oil products are decreasing while demand is rising. So I'm more inclined to think it's the supply-and-demand effect rather than corporate greed. Also, part of...
