in case of the dead battery
Posted: 11/22/2009 10:14:17 PM
If you're not computer literate I wouldn't mess around with trying install patches and or trying to connect via USB.

In fact I would recommend calling up a friend of yours who knows a thing or two about computers and telling them you just need to reset your CMOS by pulling the battery for a couple of hours. If you don't know anyone with those skills you might want to consider just taking it to Best Buy and letting them do it. Yes, it'll cost more than it should, but if you don't know what you're doing you're just going to cause more damage than what's already been done.

Please don't take this as an insult, but the very fact you had to ask about the "watch battery" tells me you know very, very little about the physical components of a computer. That's not an insult, just an observation. I wouldn't try it myself - again - you're more apt to cause more harm than good by not knowing what you're doing.

BUT if you insist on getting your hands dirty:



Locate your CMOS battery

Open the computer case and find the battery on the computer motherboard, verify that it will be accessible and that it can be removed. Most computers today use a coin cell CMOS battery as shown in the image to the right.

If you are unable to locate your CMOS battery you will need to refer to your motherboard or computer documentation and/or contact your computer manufacturer for additional assistance in locating it.
Picture of CMOS lithium battery on motherboard

Obtain battery information

Unfortunately, most manufacturers will not list the exact type and model of your CMOS battery; therefore, once you have located the battery, write down all information about the battery (Voltage, chemistry, wiring, and packaging). If possible, remove the battery and take it to the location you plan on purchasing a new battery from.

Additional buying information can be found on our battery buying tips page.

Removing the battery

Caution: While in the computer make sure you're aware of Electro Static Discharge (ESD), your computer is off, and that you're properly grounding yourself. Especially before removing the battery.

If you're computer is using a coin cell battery similar to the above example picture. Removing the battery is relatively simple. Simply use your fingers to grab on the edge of the battery and pull it up and out of the container holding it. Some motherboards have a clip holding the battery down. If your computer has this clip you may need to use one had to move the clip up and the other hand to pull the battery out.

Unfortunately, not all CMOS batteries are removable; some manufactures will only allow a replacement battery to be added. If you're not using a coin cell battery and are not able to determine how to remove it refer to your motherboard or computer documentation and/or contact your computer manufacturer for additional assistance in removing the battery or how to insert a new replacement battery.

Users with computers that do not have removable batteries only options to install a new battery will most likely also need to set a jumper when adding the new battery into their computer.

Insert the new battery

Once you have purchased a new battery, remove the old battery (as instructed above) and replace it with the new battery.

Best tv shows always cancelled
Posted: 11/22/2009 10:00:54 PM
Battlestar Galactica (the new one) - easily one of the best sci-fi shows on television... the ending was absolutely horrendous.

Millennium - A darker version of the X-Files created by Criss Carter (I own the series DVD set).

Homicide Life on the Streets - Best cop show ever. Ran for a while, but it was time to end it... could have gotten one more season or two perhaps.

Magnum PI - Need I say more?

Honorable mentions that haven't been canceled yet but are currently the best of the best...

Cheating
Posted: 11/22/2009 9:52:12 PM
If people would slow down and take the time to realize that just because someone turns you visually doesn't mean they'd make a good partner for you - we'd see a lot less cheating. As I've stated many times in the past, people get into relationships for the wrong reasons and often continue the same cycle over and over with the same types of people.

Posted: 11/22/2009 9:40:54 PM
The jury system is obsolete and should be replaced with *something* more effective.

12 average, ever day morons sifting through evidence they don't understand, wading through law explanations they can't comprehend and deciding the fate of the accused based more on which attorney they liked better. With the down spiral of the American IQ increasing steadily - the jury system has become broken. I wouldn't sit on it unless I absolutely had to. And, if were ever charged I would opt to take my chances with the judge rather than with a box of twelve slobbering buffoons who couldn't spell "DNA" let alone understand it.

New Civil War
Posted: 11/22/2009 9:18:27 PM
There won't be a Civil War fought here again, it would be more like an uprising of the people versus the government - which is growing more and more socialist with each year (regardless of which party is in office).

While there are, without question, still some racial tensions boiling under the surface in this country, I think we've come too far for there to be any definitive divides enough to spark a racial Civil War. If anything it would be a war fought over socioeconomic concerns.

IF the government were to use military force against the civilian populace - the civilian force would last about 15 minutes. No matter how many shot guns and hunting rifles you tote.

We have two great deterrents protecting us from an invasion. Nukes and the ocean. Not to mention Russia is flat broke at the moment and couldn't afford to invade us. Doing so would certainly prompt quick action from NATO as they'd see Russia/China's acts as a direct threat toward them too. I didn't mention the UN because as we all know, that's easily the most worthless organization on the planet.

With George W's moronic Patriot Act to Obama's socialist medical plan - the government is slowly but surely taking away our freedoms.

Sadly, the average person is utterly oblivious to this. We've become a nation of fat, lazy and stupid people who feel that we're ENTITLED to everything under the sun and that it's the government's job to provide it. People will gladly give up their freedom for free rent, free power and a free car.

I don't see the US being a nation of strong, free, innovative and self-sufficient people 50, 40, or even 20 years down the road.

Laugh Tracks
Posted: 11/22/2009 9:07:14 PM
Am I the only one who thinks sitcoms with embedded laugh tracks are just stupid beyond comprehension? Also, for those of you "addicted" to them, do you not feel the least bit insulted that the producers seemingly think you lack the intelligence to know when to laugh on your own? Laugh tracks are used to tell you when you're supposed to laugh at whatever idiotic, supposed joke the show is trying to make.

While I don't particularly care of it, shows like "The Office" respect its audience enough not to insult them or clutter up the show with fake laughing.

Then again I started to look at the types of shows that use laugh tracks... shows like The Big Bang Theory which rates up there as one of the stupidest shows I think I've ever seen. In fact I haven't yet run across a "laugh track sitcom" that was retarded beyond words.

What am I doing wrong?
Posted: 11/22/2009 7:22:57 PM
Only the intellectually challenged needs rules and formulas....

There are no rules. Do what you feel comfortable in doing at the pace you are most comfortable with. If you run her off, by being yourself, then it wasn't meant to be... sooner or later you WILL find someone with whom will match your level of comfort and pace.

But listening to the really, really bad advice of using "rules" you're going to meet people with whom you really don't match because you're essentially projecting yourself as someone you aren't.

There is a reason people who use the "rules of dating" are still single and looking.

What's probably more true is that her BF found her profile and has been giving her hell... lol.

Do we expect more?
Posted: 11/22/2009 7:14:56 PM
Of course expectations are higher in an online world.

Everyone thinks they're Johnny Depp or Diane Lane. HERE they can treat love as if they're shopping for a head of lettuce...

The same people here armed with their inflated sense of self-worth and over sized egos wouldn't dare talk to the "hottie at the gym" in a face to face exchange.

Cheating
Posted: 11/22/2009 7:09:17 PM
Why do people cheat?


Most people aren't smart enough to differentiate between love and the lust infatuation combo. More often than not they base their decision to be with or date someone solely on looks - all the while paying lip service to how it's "the inside" that matters. After the fatigue, of pretending to be who they think the other person wants them to be, sets in they start looking for something new; keeping each other on the hook out of fear of being alone, refusal to admit failure, or whatever.

Still others cheat because they've settled out of frustration of not being able to find what they really want. They don't really love the person, but figure he/she is better than nothing for the time being. Then something comes along that really trips their trigger, but they're not quite ready to break it off with old reliable back at the house, so they play on the side until their comfort level and confidence that it'll last is bolstered enough that they'll leave old reliable standing on the curb.


What do you consider cheating?


Flirting, kissing, sex, building an emotional bond with someone other than your SO is cheating. Yes, flirting. If you're flirting you are thinking about what it'd be like to bang whom ever it is your flirting with. You're flirting because you're attracted to them, you like the attention they're giving you - and if you were alone in a room with no one else around you'd gladly shed your clothes and indulge in your lust.


Is watching porn considered cheating?


No.


Is going to a strip club considered cheating?


No.


Do you think it's easier to cheat now days with all of the technology we have than back in the old days?


Not a very good question, no offense. It's rather rhetorical isn't it? Of course it is.


If cheated on, would you stay w/ the person who cheated on you? why or why not?


I have too much self-respect to stay.


If you are the one that cheated, do you ever feel guilty about what you have done? or do you feel a sense of accomplishment because you pulled it off?


Never cheated, so can't answer.

Isn't that the same thing as using past experience to punish someone new? Lol. just sayin..


Not really. In order for it to be the same, I would have to get involved with one of them then treat them in accordance to my past experiences. Because of my past experiences with them, I just avoid them and refuse to date them - thus I am not subjecting them to my past experiences.

On professionals and commitment (interesting one)
Posted: 11/22/2009 6:21:55 PM

I have traveled quite a bit because of my job (sales). It means that I have spent a lot of time at the airprt and met many people all over the country because of a work nature.

I have noticed that the majority of professionals whom I saw at the airpot or business meetings (aka business suitues, lap tops) had weddings bends on their fingers. I would say abouy 85%-90% in the age group 28+ -40+. Of cousre it is an estimate. Some gals just had an engagement ring....

In my company almost everyone is married , engaged or in serious relationship (with the exception of people sho are just out of college and 22-24)

Some of them(airport, business meetings) were not attracive at all (I know it is a subjective concept)

The question is................. Why do you believe those professional people committ to marrige in that large proportion?


I don't think they're committed at all - I think the vast majority of them either do or would cheat at the drop of a hat. In the corporate world it is often "expected" that you be married. Very rarely do you see anyone in the high rungs of the corporate ladder single.

Who cares what she wanted. He got out alive and hopefully learned a lesson. I just hope he's wise enough to kick her ass to the curb two months from now when this new guy dumps her and she comes running back to what she thinks is "old reliable."

Being committed to the relationship
Posted: 11/22/2009 6:00:09 PM
Really... what did you expect? On and off for how many years? It was never meant to be in the first place. After the first break up )or the first time you stopped dating) you should have moved on and started to look for someone more suited to YOU and never looked back.

Why do people insist on "going back" and or trying to "fix" something that isn't going to work no matter what they do?

How many times does it take putting your hand on a hot stove top before you realize it hurts too much to do it again?

Communication issues
Posted: 11/22/2009 5:36:41 PM

Hi guys and girls,

I need a bit of advice. I met a great guy, and we have been dating a few weeks. Our dates have been fantastic, but he recently told me he feels we need to work on our communication more because we aren't really getting to know each other (conversations have been kept light and fluffy). I tend to be a somewhat closed off person, and have been hurt many times so I have a hard time opening up and trusting someone. Also my mind either goes blank many times or I get scared to ask questions. In other words I sensor everything I think to say.

I know I need to work on this. I'd like to get to know him on a deeper level. What I'm asking is if any of you have some suggestions for questions I can ask to really get him talking and opening up on a more personal level. We have asked many questions of each other that deal with the simpler things like favorite colors and worst dates etc. What I need are the deeper make you think and divulge more personal stuff to move to a deeper level type questions.

So grateful for any suggestions and advice you can all offer! Thanks


Stop using past experiences to punish someone new. YOU are the exact reason why I refuse to date 30 something women - you're all alike.... games, games, confusion, games, games, more confusion.

He does this because he can. As long as you allow this behavior to continue, it will. Yes, you are the one with the problem. He says he doesn't love you, so you know he is just using you when he gets bored. There is a personality disorder here, but I hate to tell you that it's yours.

in case of the dead battery
Posted: 11/22/2009 5:04:38 PM
If it's a BIOS password issue, as someone has already said - unplug it, open the case, either put on a static wristband or touch something metal to discharge any static you may have built up, remove the watch batter for at least 30 seconds - I would leave it out for a full couple of minutes, put the battery back in, close the case and power back up. That should reset the BIOS and remove any stored passwords.

Why don't men date single mothers...the answer
Posted: 11/22/2009 12:08:03 PM
I used to not care whether or "she" had at home kids, then over time I just grew tired of all that seemed to come with it.

Now, I realize I'm not going to make any friends with what I am about to say, but really... it doesn't bother me.

From MY personal experience (and I realize that some of you might not fit into the coming description) I have found:

1. Single mothers tend to have bigger chips on their shoulders than non-mothers. I'm not sure if it's because they are still jaded by being left by the father of their kids, feel victimized by having to "go it alone," or whatever the reason. I don't really have the patience for the attitude(s).

2. I got tired of having to make plans, change plans, make plans, change plans - there is no room for spontaneity. You typically can’t pick up the phone and ask “Hey, I’m craving Mexican wanna come?” No, you have to plan ahead and hope that she can get a sitter, or that her oldest doesn’t have plans and can’t baby-sit. Then you make plans a week in advance and of course they have to be changed for a variety of reasons. Who needs the headache?

3. I’m not interested in a shake-and-bake family. I’m interested in building my own, not stepping into someone else’s proverbial shoes and “taking over” where he “left off.” I want MY flesh and blood to raise, not someone else’s. For me personally it just feels to fake. I'll always know in the back of my mind that these aren't my kids and I was never her first choice to have kids with. It's not really MY family... I'm just a substitute for the loser that ran off.

4. I grew tired of questioning her motives. I have a great job with tremendous stability – I can’t help but wonder “is she really into me or is she just looking for the stability for her kids?” It’s human nature to be rather untrusting in that respect.

5. I have no desire to step into the mess that was her former marriage. “He” is always going to be in the picture at least for 18 years. Another headache I don’t want to deal with. The weekly rants about “what he’s doing now to make her life difficult.”

6. I have to question her ability to make good decisions. You have any idea how many women out there marry the wrong guy – KNOWING he’s the wrong guy but have kids with him anyway? Do I really want someone like that in MY life? Nope, not particularly.

7. I love spending a cold rainy Saturday in bed watching old reruns listening to the furnace kicking on and off with her close by. Can’t really do that with kids in the picture. Nope, IF she is able to stay over she’ll have to get home first thing in the morning to take care of them.

8. I have no desire to come in ‘second’ to little Johnny or little Jane. I EXPECT a good mother to put her children first and foremost above any man. So, I’d rather not bother with her and find someone whom I can put first and who can put me first.

Bottom line for me… dating women with kids is just too much a hassle and too draining to bother with. The attitudes, the inflexibility, the drama, it’s not worth it.

Shouldn’t have run off and married “Mr. Bad Boy” in the first place, or at the very least made absolutely sure he was the one before getting knocked up. Of course it’s not always her fault – a good deal of the time he has her completely fooled and then runs off with his secretary – which isn’t her fault.

Text talk in the over 30s
Posted: 11/22/2009 11:49:35 AM

Is it me or does anyone else find it unattractive when a profile / email is written in text talk.
Once over 30 we are not kids, but adults.

I know I rant, but on principle I do not respond that start with
"luv ure profile, gr8t 2 meet up?"
I think it is childish.

Am I being silly / snobby? If so will gracefully withdraw and apologise. But surely a well written profile / message makes the best first impression?


No, it is retarded. It speaks volumes about the author's IQ.

Is This a Good Reason For a Husband to Leave?
Posted: 11/22/2009 9:22:12 AM
But what's your cost of living?

Here in the US in places like New York City, yes the average wage is much higher than in the rest of the country - BUT - when you're looking at paying $4,000 a month for an apartment, that 35 dollars an hour is exactly the same as someone making 9 dollars an hour and living in a 900 dollar a month apartment elsewhere... make sense?

You can't just look at the wages alone, you have to consider the cost of living in a particlar area too.

asking an older women out
Posted: 11/22/2009 6:24:04 AM

If I have been flirting with a women 10 years older then me and feel like she is flirting back. How do I ask her out and will she take me seriously? We only normally see each other once a week but kinda started about taking a day trip together(in passing). Should I bypass the day trip and just ask her to dinner or should I wait to see if she brings up the trip again?


I don't know.... hmmm... how about.... "Hey I was wondering if you'd like to go out for a drink, or dinner some time?"

Are people seriously having to ask "HOW" to ask someone out now? W..T..H?

Can a relationship really last if diff sex drives?
Posted: 11/22/2009 6:22:09 AM
This topic is eye opening in a lot of ways. Further evidence why relationships fail so often.

People talk a good talk, but in the end it's all about two things: money and sex.

Of course, that's all just a given... I get hit on 10 times more by married women than I do single women. At least two or three times a week I get some married chick suggesting we get together for a drink or coffee... maybe twice a month I get the same from a single woman.

There are 36,000 different apps for the iPhone. How exactly are they "breaking the EULA" here? They're not modifying the iPhone at all, they're simply using an app that was created for it.

And there is a use in this. The DoD and other groups might take a hard look at what they've done and perhaps come up with some new ideas of their own. You've heard of unmanned drones?

Is This a Good Reason For a Husband to Leave?
Posted: 11/22/2009 6:13:52 AM
I think it would make more sense to provide those deposits and help the child set up in an apartment sharing situation (roommate). Then he would be independent. Responsible for himself. Kids are always your kids, no question. But, we often help them more and hurt them less if we do the bird thing and push them out to the end of the limb and force them to fly.

The current average US salary for someone with only a high school education, in America, is 23,500. This is 10 or 11 dollars an hour. Nine does not seem so bad to me. When I was young, and before I got my degree or any kind of training, I lived with roommates, didn't drive a nice car, didn't have a credit card, didn't have new furniture, etc. Minimum wage in the US is $7-8 an hour. I really cannot see why someone making $9 an hour can't survive on his/her own. It has to do with expectations for yourself. It has to do with attitude. The lifestyle, I suppose, to which you think you are entitled.


Because Americans typically live beyond their means. This is why credit card debt nation wide is out of control. People just have to have a plasma in the living room, two XboX 360's, a brand new car (or two) and clothes they can't really afford.

American schools don't teach economic responsibility, nor do irresponsible parents (which make up the bulk of American families) who go out and slurge the rent check on the latest LED ($5,000) TV because Joe Blow at work got one too.

The proof is in the pudding so to speak. All these people losing the homes - homes they couldn't afford in the first place and a lot were too stupid to understand what an "ARM" actually was and or too lazy to research it (because after all, we can't miss the latest episode of the Big Bang Theory now can we??)... people making 50,000 a year and buying 300,000 dollar homes then blaming the banks, the government and everyone one else for their own stupidity and crying about being forced into the life style they should have been in, in the first place.

You CAN live on 9 dollars an hour... of course I wouldn't want too... I'm blessed and make about 5 times that, but I live within my means and don't spend on something unless I can afford it. No credit cards here, no debt, no problems...

You obviously don't have much life's experience. 9 to 15 dollars an hour is average for 80% of the country. The exceptions are the big cities, but their cost of living is so high that it balances out to about the same.

Hollow out a Bratwurst. That way you get the sensation of the real thing, he'll get the sensation of the real thing and you're both protected.... well except from mad cow disease.

33 and tired of chasing @$$

i have one advice for you. Take care of where you have to get at and don't chase women at all. Go and volenteer in some progams and activities of your interest. Put yourself first and you will be fine. Do what you have to do for yourself


That's pretty much it. Go out and do your thing and don't worry about it. Never look for love because you'll not find it.

And, of course the peanut gallery is going to nail you for the "American dating game" comment, but sadly there is some truth in your words. Despite what [they] tell you - you do indeed have to have the right look, the right tone, the right amount of money, the right everything.

I lived in Europe for a few years and I can tell you matter-of-factly that American women have terrible attitudes not only towards men in general, but towards relationships and dating. Not ALL American women, but yes, the majority do. They whine about men, but continue to date nothing but loser after loser (still drawn to that "bad boy" appeal).

Just like women in general have to wade through an ocean of players, idiots, and liars to finally find the one guy they can be happy with... men have to wade through their own ocean of game players, pre-Madonnas, "little princesses," and the infamous "I'm so confused" before they find the right one to settle down with.

Yeah, my opinions are harsh, but I just don't care... I'm not here looking for "love" I just like voicing my opinion which is 99% accurate 99% of the time.

Would a person who suffered a brain injury be a turn off for you?
Posted: 11/21/2009 7:19:02 PM
Apparently you had no idea you were on a thread about brain injuries so it was my duty to help the intellectually challenged see something that they could not on their own.Happy to help


You should seriously take some time to refine your reading comprehension skills.

I did not compare a brain injure to playing games, genius. I KNOW what this thread is about. I agreed with a comment made by another poster who worded our respective opinion so well that I had no need to rewrite it in my own words.

I added the line about game playing to illustrate that my tolerance for anything out-of-the-norm has become so worn that I will kick someone to the curb for mere game playing - which further demonstrates that if I am THAT impatient then obviously I wouldn't bother with someone with a brain injury.

The OP isn't talking about you now is he?

Get a copy of "Green Eggs and Ham" and learn to read.

Complicated Girl Question

Boot her to the curb and find someone new.

It's not difficult at all. If she even notices or cares you can explain that you are on different levels where communication is concerned and you don't see the two of you as a good fit due to that fact.

Considering most people have the relationship IQ of a carrot I can see how these types of ideas not only rise but eventually prosper.

Oh indeed.

1. Most people are not computer literate. So [they] can do whatever they like and most of the populace wouldn't know otherwise.
2. Thanks to that Patriot Act BS - and that's what it is... pure BS - they don't have to hide it any longer.

Men in their 30's usually have a harder time dating women in their 30's - they're typically better off dating women in their late 20's or early 40's.

Most single 30-something women have way too much bagage, are far too demanding, have rediculous expectations and simply aren't worth the headache to deal with.

If a guy good looking guy is in his 30's and still single it's probably because he hasn't yet realized this.

What!!! Do you even know what thread you are on? This is a thread about people who have brain injuries not about game playing.


Really?!? OMG I had noooooo idea. /sarcasm off.

Re-read my post I'm not going to break it down and explain it. I'm too lazy right now.

And - no - I wouldn't date someone with kids (still in the house). I wouldn't date someone over weight. I wouldn't date someone without a college education. Hell, I won't even talk to people who refuse to put a pic up or only have those head shots that just scream "Hey nothing to see below the neck, I'm not hiding anything... I swear... tee hee!" Sooooo, no I wouldn't date someone with a brain injury.... sue me.

IF I were married and my wife was in an accident or developed a condition WHILE we were together, then of course I'd stay by her side. That's a different situation all together.
