FWIW, I have set my default JPEG viewer as the viewer I got with my old Lexmark X1130 printer/scanner. I just liked it. BUT - I get a message like this sometimes, and I've found that it is because...

Quoting from the linked article:-
There was no immediate public response from Pakistan. A military statement released after her talks with army chief of staff General Ashfaq Kayani said only that...

Here's my take on this, boi:-
In 1 hour, Sally can paint a quarter of the house, and John can paint one sixth. So, between them, they can paint five-twelfths of the house in one hour (ie. a quarter...

It sounds like 'Last of the Dogmen,' Trixie. Tom Berenger & Barbara Hershey:-
Last of the Dogmen (1995)

LOL - Q.E.D. as they say... :cool:
... "Sorted !!!" - as we say in these parts!!
'Twas a circuitous route - but we got there!! :D

Sorry, Tao, I mis-read your question, really. I see mitigation as a positive, thus making a negative situation less negative. If what you are looking for is the opposite of mitigation, then I think...
-
Not sure if this helps, friend. Mathematically, something positive ALWAYS makes an equation less negative.
A 'Debit' is a negative. A 'Credit' is a positive. In accounting terms, they are...

OMG - Does that mean you could see me when I was.. :rolleyes:
... and also when I did.. :o
OMG - is MY face red?? :eek: :D
SWERVING VIOLENTLY back onto topic here..!.
Regarding Mitch's...

Uh -Oh!! We is veering off-topic here. I just Googled Morgan Le Fey!! Meet me on the corner of 5th & West 34th. It's a while since I been that high, but the Empire State has never let me down!!

LOL - Just an aperitif. ;)
Honest, guv!! :D

OMG -WHAT happened there ? I can't believe you guys did that!! THAT was my FIRST troll here, and you vaporised the poor critter!!
I LOVE troll, bless their little cloven hooves - although I admit...

Could it be Ella Fitzgerald ? I can't find any You-Tube footage, but here are the lyrics:-
Music and Lyrics to the song My Wubba Dolly by Ella Fitzgerald - Rhapsody Music
Shirley Carter also...

LOL - Don't come the raw prawn with me, mate!! What about some Strine!!
Nah - on second thoughts - I guess the swear filter will overheat!!
Glad you got your answer, mate!!
200 posts ? I...

LOL - With apologies to the OP and admin here. I always find a little humour in threads is like chucking paper planes in the office - we need to do it occasionally.
LOL, Redhed - you oughtta get...
-
LOL - My apologies for going off-topic. If I could rep your 'rep comment' redhed, I would. I tried to PM you - but you're aloof. The irony of being repped - via a tuna sandwich - by a red-headed...
-
Not sure if this would find the 'idiomatic expression,' though, redhed.
"I am broke" means "I have no money" to most of us. But to a translation machine, I suspect the result would be something...
-
Until someone who is truly bi-lingual comes along, qnman, I know there is a French expression, "Et Voilá !!!" (the accent should be a grave accent - not acute)
It basically means "And there it is...

This thread has been making me think a little harder about my own relationship with my Wife, now. Some years ago, I started to read the book 'Men are from Mars - Women are from Venus.' I only read...
-
I don't know if this answer will be of use, FB, but you are welcome to it, anyway. My wife and I are celebrating our 30th Wedding Anniversary today 8th. September, 2009. I guess that's why I clicked...
-
I haven't even tried it, but Wikipedia will surely give you the meaning of the word 'Passion' as used in everyday English. There are two meanings that I am aware of, as an Englishman. In our...

19 years ago, I fathered a daughter. This was inside marriage - but I was one of those guys who kept on saying 'We're STILL not ready for a child.' So, when it was confirmed that my dear wife was...
-
Here in the UK. if we have too many phones on the line, then the ring voltage just can't quite make it. As a result, the phones don't ring - or just go 'ding.' Try disconnecting some of your phones,...
-
Hi Whippet1.
My personal suggestion is that you ask your local TV repair guy to make a direct soldered connection to the broken VCR Input, using a metre of co-axial cable, with a co-axial...
-
FWIW, I have noticed that the cold water tap in our house here in the UK seems to hold a fungal 'gel' just inside the outlet. Try cleaning it with a 'bottle-brush' - or even a pre-historic...
-
I'm sure there are better ways, Pinkwater, but try this - it's what I do.
Any web-page you are on (like this one) has an address. This is shown near the top of your window in the 'Navigation'...
-
It has been good to share a joke, as well as get serious with you guys. Let's face it, I KNOW I'm going to need a sense of humour here, now. I drive a taxi - on the night shifts - at weekends. A...
-
Thanks ComputerHelpers, it's encouraging to know that my guess was at least in the ball park. As it comes from a power supply designer, I guess we can call that the definitive post here!!
-
SOZ. I was away. I have to go out now, but FWIW, I always thought that poem lifted the spirits of those left behind. A reassurance that death is just a door - no more. I never see it as a...
-
Yeah, I can identify with that. I think if I was in a bit of trouble, I'd hope that the beer truck arrived before the ambo. That's REAL 'first aid' - the hospital treatment can wait 'til later!!

Oh - and thanks for the comment on the avatar, NH! Friend has seen the original, which was perhaps a little offensive (No rose - just a finger!! :D) We juggled with chopping his digit off (which...
-
Yeah, I get the connection with the fried egg, now!! I sure got to get this licked before it gets to THAT stage!!

" Just don't end up being the ''This is your brain on....'' commercial "
Thanks for the agreement NH4U. It looks like you're in the US (Pennsylvania ?) - but I'm in the UK. so I'm not familiar...
-
Thanks for that, NH4U. I hadn't looked at it that way. I have always thought "I can't sleep until I've had a drink - so my sleep disorder is caused by my drink habit." Whereas you're suggesting that...
-
Thanks for the warning about flash drives, ScottGem. I like the idea of a passworded ZIP file as a backup - so simple!! I'm off to do one right now
-
Like I said, if you save that file on a little memory stick (just a cheap one will do), it is kept off your PC, but can be accessed very quickly, and updated easily. Unplug the stick when you log...

-
Sorry it was a no-go, matey.
-
I have to admit, Morgaine, that your method is the most secure. Lazarus is good for recovering lost text - but perhaps using it for log-ins is a bit risky. As an aside - but still on-topic, I feel -...
-
I think I may need to be a little clearer here. I'm not talking about the INPUT curren/voltage of your charger here. That will deffo be AC, and either 110 or 220 V - or whatever your local mains...
-
I don't think you would be doing any harm by trying 8.5V - but I doubt if that is high enough to work. I would expect you to need at least 12V.
Also - I am assuming here that your original laptop...
-
OK. Mitch. Here are 3 links. Let me know if they don't work for you. The first one is the main Mozilla page:-
Mozilla | Firefox web browser & Thunderbird email client
There are loads of...
-
I had similar problems with IE, and just like you, Mitch, I started using Firefox. I also get 'logged' off occasionally, and have to log back in again - but it's no big deal (as long as I remember by...
-
OK. well, I uninstalled both Blue Soleil programs, then checked which was the most recent version. It turned out that the one I bought EARLIER was the most recent - NOT the one I bought recently!!...
-
I have been using a Blue Soleil Bluetooth dongle successfully to transfer files/photos from my Nokia mobile phone to my Quantum desktop PC running Win XP Home SP3, with no problems. I now have an...
-
There is an add-on available to Firefox users called Lazarus. It remembers text and certain 'forms' that are filled in. I have used it for banking log-ins, and have also recovered half-written...
-
Well, I stumbled into this site for the first time just last night, and was drawn toward this lady 'Starby' for some reason. I don't wish to seem irreverent - and maybe I'm just being a bit...
-
Thanks for your further help with this, guys. I followed JMJ's link to AA, and now have it bookmarked on my PC. I answered Yes to 4 out of the 12 questions about my drinking. I will be going back to...
-
Thanks Gemini. I can't give 'rep' yet as a newbie it seems, but I would be glad to when the time comes. Yeah, I agree that the difference 'twixt needing A drink and needing TO drink is pretty...
-
Thank you, JMJ - and bless you, good sir. I hit the AA link and made myself read the introductory leaflet. I HATE the thought that I may have to consider myself an alcoholic already, but I realise I...
