MichianaGuy They do this so they have 1000's of people to send messages about their crap to. Also, in some cases, it's just people having stupid contests to see who can get the most MySpace friends. Personally, I KNOW every one of my MySpace friends, and do not add people...

MichianaGuy Well, I've used AVG's free version for over a year now, and I've never had any problems. Have used Norton in the past, it truly eats up system resources and slows down your system. McAfee is just crap, a friend of mine had the subscription service, their "top...

MichianaGuy Yahoo Answers has become a nasty beast. Between the kids and the "how do I get on MySpace from my school?" questions, and the trolls that post the hate crap, I just got tired of it. Everytime I turned around, I was seeing the same crap over and over. Then,...

MichianaGuy MySpace has frequent "buggy" periods, where many of the features do not work right, if at all. Give it some time and try again.

MichianaGuy Well, break the rules, get busted. Too many people put WAY TOO MUCH information on MySpace anyway. Guess she should have thought about people looking at her page. Most schools have rules that circumvent "normal" privacy rights when it comes to team sports and...

How do yo define internet in your own words?

MichianaGuy The internet is where the real and virtual worlds combine. Fanstasy, reality, right on your desk, but miles away all at one time. You can talk to someone 1000 miles away like they were just in the next room. You can shop all over the world, from your chair....

Internet piracy

xeminas @xeminas (127) • United States 29 Jan 07

Is stealing music morally wrong? I'm an eighteen year old college student, and while iTunes has made music cheaper, I have no qualms about downloading things on a P2P filesharing system. Thoughts?

MichianaGuy Morally questionable maybe, but "stealing" music only bothers the people that make millions from music. They really don't need it, they just want it. P2P software is great, you can find all kinds of files.

MichianaGuy Change the pic you're using. You can look all over and find free clip-art. Try searching for something that is one of your interests. I have a giant collection of art I use for avatars and such that I have collected over the years.

What's the best way to make a web page?

undertherose @undertherose (88) • United States 28 Jan 07

I don't know much HTML or anything, but I do have access to a web page maker; the kind where you just drag and drop stuff into it. I also have a registered domain and a free hosting site. The problem is, I have no idea where to...

MichianaGuy Well, first thing you need is a basic understanding of HTML, the basic language of web pages. A book for your web page maker, will give you all the basics and a few examples. No offense meant, but the "Subject Here" For Dummies series of books is very...

MARIJUANA the Killer

sreejithsreenivas @sreejithsreenivas (10202) • India 27 Jan 07

How many people have dropped out of school because of this killer drug? How many people have lost their jobs because it? So it is our duty to fight against it.

MichianaGuy Killer drug??? I think you picked the wrong drug for this discussion. Marijuana is not a killer drug. Cocaine, crack, heroin, and meth are killer drugs. Marijuana, is a mild recreational drug with medicinal properties.

MichianaGuy You need something with a more matte finish. White posterboard is good, if the glare is still there, spray light coats of cheap aerosol hair spray on it. Or, if you have a white sheet to spare, cut it up and spray glue it to thin plywood. Also, soft light from...
