Bet you can't define "majority" and back it up. Tell you what. Give me your list. I'll give you a list back with the same number of similar events, plus one. .

Slingbox works. It REALLY works. But Chris, what you're missing here, your Slingbox is not "a private stream" at all. It works over your Internet connection which is DSL which is shared. There are several funnels involved between you and the UK. During a busy period, you may not get enough of the connection speed. Or you may get it. There are several things that may slow you down - basically, time of day and how many others want to use the Internet at that moment. My bet is that it will work for you. But it may not. Keep a TV set nearby just in case. Good luck. .

I know a little bit about soccer but I know quite a bit about baseball. If you think the brain power in baseball goes slow, then you DON'T know much about baseball. All you're doing, really, is proving how very simple it is to dismissively hate a sport you don't understand. Of course you can claim lots of silly things about soccer, baseball and cricket, but soccer, baseball and cricket don't even notice. There are long lists of sports I don't care for, wouldn't and don't watch and would refuse to be paid to play them, not that anyone would offer of course. One of them is definitely cricket. That says nothing about cricket or the other sports on my long lists, only about me. And to complete the circle, my huge attention to and love of a sport also says nothing about the sport, only about me. I certainly would never get in the face of a soccer fan and abuse him and try to run down his sport and love of the game until I'd walked a mile in his shoes. Then I'd be a mile away and he'd have no shoes to chase me. .

Yeah, that was another thing I didn't rub in. Er, that was my point -- that NOT having them is their strong point. But listen, you have refused to say why your huge number of islands have one Olympic team, presenting a massively unfair advantage to the rest of the world with their piddly little one team from ONE nation - not to mention your bullying armed forces, ganging up four different countries into one army. .

According to your article, millions of witnesses from Sweden have testified publicly that he is in England's pocket. No one has refuted their testimony. .

We've got you covered there too, babe, with Celebrity Curling.

One, It wouldn't occur to me to do it, I'm just not a stereotyping kind of guy in a serious discussion. (I don't mind joking about them, though.) Two. Singapore has never had a potato famine and never will have one. Ever. But it DOES have four nationalities and languages, lah. I don't quite catch your point. Countries are small, tiny, large, huge.... they ALL have regions and they ALL have differences and probably most of them aside from the Vatican have separatists. I think the typical Brit is admirable about his regionalism and nationalism and all. See what I mean about joking about stereotypes? But it's true, right? Seriously, I think you mean "in history", and we know who writes history, eh? Trust me here: You (or I) don't actually remember what happened centuries ago. Really we don't. We only remember the biases, the hatreds, the racism, the wrongs, the assaults and much more that we learned at our mother's knee. Or some other joint. .

Jee suss. I've promised my daughter a new one for the coming school year, I do believe she's going to get an HP 17-inch. I just have to check whether not having Blu-Ray is a disaster, other than that.... Thanks a lot. .

At the mere cost of 1,001 stoppages of play while people stand around for 10 minutes or more reviewing the tape/video/film. The thing is that stopping the game ALSO affects the game, just like an undetected hand ball or a terrible offside call. I do agonise sometimes. But you know, if you want a game where there is never a bad call and the ref always gets it right, get Soccer 10K and put that up on your screen. (It's interesting, actually, that one of the big baseball video games has a mode where the umpire has an unpredictable strike zone -- art imitating life.) .

Good for you to figure out the Malwarebytes problem. To rename a file, you have to "free" the program that owns it. So you have to quit the program entirely, then rename it, then start it up again. .

After he was finished, Apple handed out packs of cigarettes for the post-orgasm smoke. .

Get a grip. This is not a joke. Billy Crystal is the leadoff batter for the New York Yankees. And not a dollar went to the orphanage.

I think you should advise him to take the highest offer from the wealthy people, and quickly before he has a chance at buyer's remorse. Anyone in Pattaya who wants that weird plate will just draw or make one. .

Here's my (very informal, no radio buttons) polls: Question 1: Is John Barnes simply the greatest? Rap artist, I mean? Question 2: How about those vuvuzelas? Ban them or love them? .

LTGTR, you might enjoy this analysis of the US-England game, guy says it has to be "attack, attack, attack" and it's hard to argue, with Donovan and Dempsey in there. US version of The Sun

No matter where they are, WC matches always are sometimes very late at night, even the Japan ones went past 1am on occasion, although the Asian World Cup was certainly the most convenient ever. But even if they were all conveniently timed, I can't see watching 64 soccer games in a month, good grief! And during the baseball season ferpetesake! Very simple schedule here for Americans by the way: ESPN-ABC schedule

My Number One Top recommendation without an er or an um. It's a terrific, leave-it-alone and get-to-work program. AND free. MSE does a full scan once in a while on a schedule you set. I leave my PC on 24 hours, and do the scan when I'm not around. You MIGHT notice when the scan is under way, you might not, it's not very intrusive. Otherwise, you'll forget it unless it pops up a warning that you've caught a nasty. .

I think if you actually watch every match you are a fanboy. .

Ok but that's not what you wrote. You said you were trying to update only. Sometimes AVG does a complete overhaul and you have to take out everything and start all over, which is what I meant, and didn't realise you had already done that. In that case, if you want help installing, you'll have to be way more specific about what happens. Personally, I think AVG is way over-bloated and not worth it any more but that's me. .

You guys that are getting notices to buy AVG and Avira have the wrong versions. Somehow you have installed the pay versions. Both of these programs have totally free versions. To the OP, if you must have AVG, uninstall it and download the newest version and install again. .

Full credit to Chicago, for coming out swinging, and Philly simply wasn't ready. That's the first game Chicago actually won, as opposed to fluking out. Sure shortens the odds, and that's a fact. Doesn't matter HOW you win, even the fourth one. The thing is that at this level there's really not that much difference between the teams, and two or three breaks lasting a total of 10 seconds is all you need. Chicago had a HELL of a lot more than that and made the most of it. You remember Philly came from three games down and 3-0 down in the first period against Boston. I couldn't figure out Philadelphia getting away from its offensive strength of going behind the net, though. Very weird. I predict you'll see more of that on Wednesday. Pronger was absolutely pwned! They went right at him. All that said and credit given, Philly missed two open-net goals and some other chances. Them's the breaks, Hawks win. .

Irony gets a name - Obsession. That's what I was doing, Mr O. Just pointing out. .

The mail delivery in Thailand is excellent but most finance houses won't send that sort of stuff overseas. An intermediary is an excellent idea. I've never used registered mail but some people feel better wearing a belt and suspenders. .

You're not providing the whole message you are seeing. It is continued what you give as in something along this line: RUNDLL, error loading c:\documents and settings\Your name..... etc and finally giving the name of the module that won't run. Your refusal to google the error is also frustrating. In any case: Whatever module is not found by RUNDLL is *_probably_* the business end of a virus/malware that was previously removed BUT the little engine in the registry that runs it wasn't removed. Whatever the module is at the end of your error message, look for THAT in the registry and delete it. .

Unique means "one" and only one. I instantly thought of Singapore. Wouldn't surprise me if there are others but I'm lazy. You're not unique. Singapore's four nationalities with a common language revel in being ONE country, and you don't, so THAT part is unique. Maybe. I'll not rub it in that your "four different nationalities" live on TWO islands, not just one tiny one. I won't rub it in a lot anyhow. (But I will hold it in reserve, just in case.) Or do you mean England, Wales, Scotland and Manchester United? But really. What's up with that Olympics thing, one team for four countries, isn't that unfair to the rest of the world? Even Korea has two teams. .
