Yet more keen links one might want to share - Page 105

I really like that, bbro!

Here is a Sports Illustrated article written from the viewpoint of Yankee Stadium. Very nice. I hate to see structural history go away. My little brother sent me the link: mom just sent him and his wife to a Yankees game so they could see the stadium before it went. I think the game was rain-delayed or canceled but they did get to see YS. My brother also saw the Boston Garden before it was torn down. Sad, really.

I love this line, so true:

I am tangible Americana, like Independence Hall, the Alamo or Graceland.

Yeah! That reminds me of Dynamite Magazine, they had a shoe-tie article once.

Why do you keep posting all my memories?

It's a gift, and a curse!

I looked back at some of the old covers and 6th grade came roaring back to me. Good stuff.

Sorry, I meant to say does your machine download updates automagically from Microsoft on Patch Tuesday?

Does your machine's native search function now invoke Windows Search instead of the old search my computer?

Want the old one back? Here you go.

Too lazy to click? Here you go:

It’s time to remove that and bring back the Good ol’ dog (I’ve actualy removed that dog as it was very anoying. Tweak XP has a nice setting to use the classic search in Explorer - still the best search tool Microsoft has made… how sad)

Here is how you bring back the Dog or the Classic search in Explorer:

Quote:

Open RegEdit (Start > Run > regedit).

Find the following : HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows Desktop Search\DS

Double-click on ‘ShowStartSearchBand’ and set the value to ‘0′.

Close that and you’re done, the next time you click ‘Search’ in explorer, the old, reliable search companion will appear.

This applies to operating systems before Windows Vista

Happy searching.

Here's another one with a .reg file you can click.

The only thing that would make that funnier would be if there was 2 of them.

That was awesome. It made me happy. Very simple, but totally cool idea.

There's a group that do a whole show with those things. They were appearing at one of the Atlantic City Casinos this summer.

This is a link to a thread in another forum. It's a building forum, and one of the guys there is a farmer who makes ends meet by designing trusses at a day job. The rest of the time he farms with his extended family.

He started a thread two years ago to describe life on the farm (with lots of pictures included.) I've been following that thread for a long time, and am always pleased when there is a new entry. It's got a couple thousand posts in it right now, but if you just skim through reading his (BossHog's) posts you get to see what it's like working the land, repairing equipment, dealing with mother nature, etc. etc. all from a simple point of view. He's not a smooth, eloquent writer, just matter-of-fact.

It's a perfect example of what make the internet beautiful. You read about his experiences and you come away thinking that you "get it." You know what it's like to be a farmer. Or at least hanging around with one.

I'm pretty sure you need to register to read the thread, but I think it's worth it.

Want a job with M16? If not, well it's still fun to take the tests.

BigV · 10-08-2008, 10:43 AM

Why would I want a job with a machine gun?

Shawnee123 · 10-08-2008, 10:46 AM

It's fun to go out with them after work and do shots? They're a barrel of fun? Working with them triggers your inner talents? They get fired a lot but then they just get loaded? They have good stock tips?

Why wouldn't you?
