Albert Einstein, Pablo Picasso, and George W. Bush arrive at the Pearly
Gates and introduce themselves. St. Peter says, "You'll have to prove to me that's who you are." Einstein takes a piece of paper, writes E=MC squared, and then starts writing the formulas that lead him to it. St. Peter says, "I believe you, come on in." Picasso takes out a pencil and paper and starts to draw. St. Peter says, "I believe, you come on in." George W. Bush says to St. Peter, "Who were those guys?" St. Peter says, "Come on in, George."

Dr. Enzo, the head psychiatrist at the local mental hospital, is examining
patients to see if they're cured and ready to re-enter society. "So, Mr. Clark," the doctor says to one of his patients, "I see by your chart that you've been recommended for dismissal. Do you have any idea what you might do once you're released?" The patient thinks for a moment, then replies, "Well, I went to school for mechanical engineering. That's still a good field, good money there. But on the other hand, I thought I might write a book about my experience here in the hospital, what it's like to be a patient here. People might be interested in reading a book like that. In addition, I thought I might go back to college and study art history, which I've grown interested in lately." Dr. Enzo nods and says, "Yes, those all sound like intriguing possibilities." The patient replies, "And the best part is, in my spare time, I can go on being a teapot."

No Offence to any Bass player.................
A guitar player comes to the doctor and complains about a serious deterioriation of his memory. He especially has a hard time remembering correct changes and is afraid to lose all his gigs. Since the doctor can't find the cause, he asks the guitarist to leave behind his brain for a week in his lab for more detailed examinations. After seven days the guitar player fails to show up, and even after 2 more weeks there's no sign of him. Finally the doctor runs into him on the street, grabs him and asks: "Excuse me, but your brain is still waiting for you to stop by and pick it up, so why don't you show up?" The guitarist says, "Well, I think you can keep it; I finally switched to bass..." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- A man gives his son an electric bass for his 15th birthday, along with a coupon for four bass lessons. When the son returns from his first lesson, the father asks, "So, what did you learn?" "Well, I learned the first five notes on the E string." Next week, after the second lesson, the father again asks about the progress, and the son replies, "This time I learned the first five notes on the A string." One week later, the son comes home far later than expected, smelling of cigarettes and beer. So the father asks: "Hey, what happened in today's lesson?" "Dad, I'm sorry I couldn't make it to my lesson; I had a gig!" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- A tour manager comes across the guitarist and bass player fighting at the side of the stage and pulls them apart asking what the problem was. "That bastard detuned one of the strings on my bass," says the bass player, "and we're on stage in five minutes." "So what's the problem?", asks the tour manager. "He won't tell me which string it was", said the Bassist. LegalitiesMay 12, 2003, 5:36am

There is a known "bug" around that does effect some php scripting and the
uRL, if the multipath script used is the same as I sent to Data22 a few years ago it will be out of date now, thus it will be proberly be effected, but now knowing what script is been used its hard to look for errors that can effect the script. In all things this should not effect php, but its one of the things no one can figure out why, proberly something to do with server interactions. [View Quote] multipath.php helpJun 15, 2003, 7:23am
Humm,, if that script fails to work as it should means either your hosting
compay has not installed php, which I dought or you are hosting on a company that you have to pay more to gain extra facilities like php,cgi and sql usage. There are some out there, its why when we put a E-commerce site togather we like to reconmend the hosting company that we know has what we need. Check with your hosting agent to see if you can use php scripts free or you have to cough up some more pobble beads. [View Quote] multipath.php helpJun 15, 2003, 7:27am
As a footnote and me recalling if you are still using the hoster that begins
with easy*****.com on a standered hosting package you dont get php facilities,, hence your problem is solved in one splash of a dogs tail.. They like you to part with the beads before allowing php.. [View Quote] multipath.php helpJun 15, 2003, 9:14am

Two sisters, one blonde and one brunette, inherit the family ranch.
Unfortunately, after just a few years, they are in financial trouble. In order to keep the bank from repossessing the ranch, they need to purchase a bull so that they can breed their own stock. Upon leaving to inspect a bull, the brunette tells her sister, "When I get there, if I decide to buy the bull, I'll contact you to drive out and haul it home." The brunette arrives at the man's ranch, inspects the bull, and decides she wants to buy it. The man tells her that he will sell it for $599, no less. After paying him, she drives to the nearest town to send her sister a telegram to tell her the news. She walks into the telegraph office, and says, "I want to send a telegram to my sister telling her that I've bought a bull for our ranch. I need her to hitch the trailer to our pickup truck and drive out here so we can haul it home." The telegraph operator explains that he'll be glad to help her, then adds, "It's just 99 cents a word." Well, after paying for the bull, the brunette only has $1 left. She realizes that she'll only be able to send her sister one word. After thinking for a few minutes, she nods, and says, "I want you to send her the word "comfortable." The telegraph operator shakes his head. "How is she ever going to know that you want her to hitch the trailer to your pickup truck and drive out here to haul that bull back to your ranch if you send her the word, 'comfortable?'" The brunette explains, "My sister's blonde. The word's big. She'll read it slowly. ("com-for-da-bul") Share and Enjoy A not so Sterotype JokeSep 5, 2003, 1:46pm
One day a housework-challenged husband decided to wash his sweatshirt.
This he thought would relieve his Wife of the burden of washing his oil ridden tee-shirt from been under the truck all day Seconds after he stepped into the laundry room looking rather confused and distressed, he shouted to Wife, "What setting do I use on the washing machine?" It depends," I replied. "What does it say on your shirt?" He yelled back, "University of Texas." And they say blondes are dumb.... A not so Sterotype JokeSep 5, 2003, 4:34pm

I was Talking to Linn and she beleave's there has been one out for a few
years now, Its name I think is texture lister, it is one of Ananas's programs named RWLsTX this performs the task of listing the textures used in a .cob or .rwx file so you can download them from megapath texture lists or see them on Tonycats web site. http://oct31.de/aw/ As to perform the task of creating many more files that contain the textures that may never be used can be seen as a waste of valuble time on everyones time. If you are desperate for textures for the megapath objects download this program. make a list, then download them at your ease. This might not get you used to seeing the files (rwx) but gets you used to working with them, hence increase your own knowledge.

Poem for Computer Users over 30
A computer was something on TV From a science fiction show of note. A window was something you hated to clean And ram was the cousin of goat. Meg was the name of my girlfriend And gig was a job for the nights. Now they all mean different things And that really mega bytes. An application was for employment. A program was a TV show. A cursor used profanity. A keyboard was a piano. Memory was something that you lost with age. A CD was a bank account And if you had a 3-in. floppy, You hoped nobody found out. Compress was something you did to the garbage, Not something you did to a file. And if you unzipped anything in public You'd be in jail for a while. Log on was adding wood to the fire. Hard drive was a long trip on the road. A mouse pad was where a mouse lived And a backup happened to your commode. Cut is what you did with a pocket knife Paste is what you did with glue A web was a spider's home And a virus was the flu. I guess I'll stick to my pad and paper And the memory in my head I hear nobody's been killed in a computer crash But when it happens they wish they were dead.

When you write copy you have the right to copyright the copy you write, if

Very conservative people write right copy, and have the right to copyright the right copy they write. A right wing cleric would write right rite, and has the right to copyright the right rite he has the right to write. His editor has the job of making the right rite copy right before the copyright can be right. Should Jim Wright decide to write right rite, then Wright would write right rite, which Wright has the right to copyright. Duplicating that rite would copy Wright right rite, and violate copyright, which Wright would have the right to right. Right?

Ok found the url:
http://jonathanclark.com/textures/index.php3?browse=1&maxtn=27&start=586 Jonathan created these textures for the game Golgotha which collapsed a while back and allowed his fantastic work in textures to become public Domain so that some use could be made of them, therefore his work not wasted. Most are of High quality photorealistic textures. All you need is the free TS3 or TS4 (I think) and away you go. Used as a facade they can produce some very nice effects. The old Ghetto world in AVRquest world was created from most of Jonathans textures, and was quite stunning effect for very little work. Share and Enjoy [View Quote] |
