8 AnswersPolls & Surveys1 decade agoC'mon, new signature needed.....?
I asked this a few days ago but at the wrong time of day and got little response so I am asking again to help a friend of mine. He is looking for a signature to use when on various forums etc. Unfortunately he uses Windows! I only use Linux and my signature on various forums etc is;
'Though I walk through the valley of the blue screen of death,
I shall not be afraid because there is a penguin waiting to welcome me on the other side... '
But for his Windows please help me/him choose from the following or give suggestions...
1. No keyboard present
Hit F1 to continue
Zen engineering?
2. Hal, open the file
Hal, open the damn file, Hal
open the.....
Oh please please Hal....
3. Out of memory.
We wish to hold the whole sky,
But we never will.
4. A crash reduces
your expensive computer
to a simple stone.
5. Stay the patient course
Of little worth is your ire
The network is down
6. This site has been moved.
We'd tell you where, but then we'd
have to delete you.
7. First snow, then silence.
This thousand dollar screen dies
so beautifully.
8. Login incorrect.
Only perfect spellers may
enter this system.
9. The Tao that is seen
Is not the true Tao, until
You bring fresh toner.
and my fave...
10. Windows has crashed!
Saying 'I am the Blue Screen of Death'.
No one hears my screams.
Through darkening blue windows
I begin again.
The code was willing,
It considered my request,
But the chips were weak.
Chaos reigns within.
I will reflect, repent, and reboot.
Order shall return.
Now, before you choose, you must get on your knees and hail the PENQUIN.
For those who are innocentely unaware, the PENQUIN is the GOD of all Linux distributions.
Hail the PENQUIN, HAIL,HAIL, HAIL......rant....rave....
OOOh, er...Oh dear....

3 AnswersPolls & Surveys1 decade agoSeagulls becoming pests - advice needed.?
Hello. Before I start please note that I have absolutely NO PROBLEM as regards Seagulls or any kind of animals/species. In fact I have a great respect for them so please do not take this as being offensive.
I live in a mulit-storey flat/appartment, quite high up. My neighbour above me constantly feeds the Seagulls at this time of year - as they do come inland at this time. No problem. The trouble is that he feeds them from his kitchen window directley above my kitchen window at least twice a day. I am sick and tired of cleaning up the droppings from my windowsill and especially from my kitchen window, so much so that when I am out a work I have to make sure the window is closed. I clean the mess 3 times a week.
Now, I have confronted my neighbour about this but all I get is disgusting abuse. The landlords/authority say they cannot do anything as it is not illegal to feed them. Like I say, I have no problem with feeding them but maybe it has come to the point to scare/deter them. They feed regardless of whether I am stood at my window, ( kinda like a screcrow ), or even if I put a cat at the window!
Any non-abusive methods of help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

They take too long to warm up and a better model always comes along once you've already got one.
