Have you watched the Mummy 3?

youless @youless (112113) • Guangzhou, China 6 Sep 08

If you watched the Mummy 3 already, how do you think about it? In my opinion, at the beginning it's good, but then it's so so. There is no more big surprise. Although the technology is good, but somewhat the storyline is a little...

Why do guys wear undershirts?

Sheepie @Sheepie (3112) • United States 5 Sep 08

I notice the dudes at school wear undershirts under their t-shirts. It is pretty hot here these days, so I'm sure it's not for warmth. You can see the outline of it through their t-shirts. I just don't see why they wear them. Some...

Boatter I never did that, but I think that's useful, bot just a style. Firstly, they are not afriad of hot, it's a premise. Then, the sweat will make T-shirts adhere to the skin, you know, so maybe the undershorts can adsorb th sweat, and avoid the T-shirts damped by...

How to send executable (.exe) files as attachment in Gmail ?

bugbaby @bugbaby (1787) • Indonesia 5 Sep 08

Gmail (and many of the major free email service providers) normally don’t allow you to attach executable (.exe) files and send them over to someone, because of security reasons - i.e. by barring this file type, they restrict the...

Boatter If you do not want to compress it, I have a simple way: add a common extension behind the full name of your executable. Take file ###.exe for example, you can rename the file as ###.exe.bak. And tell the receiver to delete the extension .bak after he/she...

Boatter I am never interested in reading. I tried many times, but I just not like it. What a pity. But I like watching TV and reading newspaper, that seem enjoyable for me. I also like reading news and short articles on the Internet, since I have a computer.

How do you wash your underwear?

youless @youless (112113) • Guangzhou, China 4 Sep 08

Some people like washing their underwear by hand because they think it will be cleaner. I prefer to wash all of them by washing machine. It's troublesome for me to wash them by hand. Why not use washing machine to finish this...

Boatter I wash all my clothing by hand, because I have not washing machine, and do not want to pay the money for using the washing machines. It's cleaner. Maybe it's all right for overcoat, but for your underwear, I think you'd better wash them by hand.

Boatter I'm a optimist too. No matter what difficulties I am confronted with, I never looks like a dying duck in the thunderstorm. I will keep on thinking "I can do it, just do it". But I am always shilly-shallying, which is my big shortcoming. My constellation is...

Favorite Teacher

bubblyapple @bubblyapple (2653) • Philippines 2 Sep 08

I am not sure what makes a teacher someone's favorite. Is it because he/she is good looking. Or is because he/she is not strict? Or simply because, he/she is the only one who took time to talk you and treat you like a...

Boatter My favorite teacher is my father, who never talk much, but his every words make me ponder. He always talk when he should, what he said is always what I needed. That's the reason why I admire me much as a matter of fact.

Boatter I agree with the law accurately. It's important for avoiding voilence as you mentioned. But I don't think it will make the kids more wild. In fact, it's their own tempers and improper didactical methods make them uncontrollable. The traitorous mentality is one...
