These, as well as MANY others, as well as images, and more can be found in the Fox Kids archive, located in the download section. These are posted for archivial purposes only, and if you own the rights to these and would like to have me take them down, contact me and I will do so promptly. Look for more featured flash and stuff from Fox Kids later on.
That said, here is the "Other Guys" flash animation that discusses the minor roles in the Power Rangers Lost Galaxy series:
And here are a couple of Power Rangers: SPD Sneak Peeks:
Why is it that people fail to see that stars, celebrities, and government figures are all people too? Beneath their public facade, they are just like us. They have their own problems, they deal with their families, and have to deal with everyday stuff just like you and I. Why then, do people fail to forgive some public figures, while they won't forgive others? Oh no big deal...Murtha was just going to accept bribes. We can forgive that. Oh...OJ killed Nicole...who cares, he says he didn't, and even though the evidence says otherwise, we'll forgive him... Where does this logic come from? I honestly can't see where.
While the public will forgive Murtha and OJ, they don't forgive Mel Gibson or Micheal Richards for verbal mistakes. It is a known fact among writers that the written word is set in stone, but spoken word is retractable. Therefore, when these two men apologize for their actions, regardless of the cause, they should be unconditionally forgiven. Would you forgive your child/husband/significant person in your life if they went on a mad rage, and shouted racial slurs? Most people would.
I know that Mel Gibson was influenced by the alcohol. That was his excuse. Michael Richards was ticked off by some black audience members, who, had likely surpassed the two drink minimum at the comedy club. Both, whether directly or indirectly, were influenced by alcohol. I know that whenever someone is drunk, people don't heed what they say because they know it isn't truly the person talking, but the alcohol. The same goes for both Gibson, and the audience members. While Gibson has slightly more of a leg to stand on, since he was inebriated, Richards still has a valid excuse by blaming his rage at the drunk audience members.
The point? We , as a public need to get our standards straight. We need to see that there is a difference between doing something wrong verbally, and doing something that is against the law. The public should forgive verbal grievances, and realistically should see that public figures are just like them... The public should also see how badly alcohol, when overused, can cause serious problems.
I want to hear what you think about all of this. If you don't have a user account set up, use this link, and then proceed here to discuss this article.
I dropped my laptop a while back, and it scratched the screen. I have tried all sorts of ideas to get rid of it. I tried brasso, but that helped a little and made the screen shiny in a place it shouldn't be. I have tried using toothpaste, various glues and sealants (removeable in the case of accidents), and have had little or no luck. I have found a viable solution:Turtle Wax. I am sure that other brands of car wax that you wipe on, let dry, and rub off would work as well. I have done two coats, and the scratch is barely visible (if it werent for that shiny spot from the brasso, you couldn't tell...). I polished the whole screen with the wax. You have to be gentle, and patient. It takes a while to get the wax buffed down to the point of being transparent. A few more coats, and this scratch will be completely filled in. As an added benefit, the wax will keep stuff from sticking as easily to the screen, like dust. Got a scratch? Try this!
Note: This Article is not a How-To. The How-To isHere.
I recently purchased a Twinhan VisionPlus 7021 DVB card used, for around $50. This card enables me, when connected to a satellite dish, cable broadcast, or terrestrial antenna to recieve and decode (if the streams aren't encrypted...more on that later) mpeg2 dvb streams. It also works with HD streams, when used with USB 2.0. The specs are here.
The software I got to use with these cards (the factory software stinks) are both ProgDVB and MyTheatre.
After trying both Progdvb and MyTheatre, they both hav their uses. I was able to hear some audio only channels in ProgDVB, and see open video in MyTheatre. The only unencrypted video on the satellites I was using (echostars 5 and 7) were the "ONPPV" preview channels. Some of the radio audio only stations are unencrypted too. I was lazy to test this card, and just used my dishnetwork setup that was already aimed. I had to make sure my LNBs were set as circular/custom, and each had a LOF of 11250.
Then, you have encrypted video to deal with. The plugins to decrypt (illegal to decrypt pay channels if you don't actually pay for the service!) are Sof2cam, vplug, or YANKSE. Google it. Good luck with that. It isn't my fault if you stupidly steal and get caught. I have so far been unsuccessful in decrypting channels (THAT I LEGALLY PAY FOR!!!) You could use a card module if you have one, which lets you use your access card in your computer to decrypt the video signals.
Now all I have to do is aim a spare dish/LNB I have at a better FTA bird, and get some better TV. I will post video/screenies when I do. Until then, wish me luck! Post any quesions/comments in my forum of 0 users plus myself.
Whenever you are a client on a public/school/network computer, and it is running XP most likely, you have the problem sometimes of being restricted. You can't run regedit most of the time, which means you can't delete the keys restricting you from running CMD, changing desktop properties, etc. As long as vb scripts aren't disabled, this script I wrote will remove these restrictions:
Enable Taskmgr
Enable CMD (
Enable Regedit
Enable Control Panel
and a few others
...
You can add to it if you find the list of restrictive registry keys
