    You shouldn't pick up little girls... that's a crime. Go for the ones around your age.

    it's only a crime if he gets caught, though i'm not trying to encourage people to do so, least i wouldn't.

    My fucking computer is giving me a hard time. I show it nothing but love and this is how it repays me. It took me like 2-3 hours to even get it started today. It keeps rebooting right when windows is starting up. And sometimes when windows has been running for a while.

    Does anyone have any idea what the problem could be? My guess is that i have some fucked hardware but don't have any idea what it could be.

    I'm assuming you are running XP.

    For starters, reboot, go into safe mode, and in the command prompt or Run window, run "CHKDSK /R" [without quotes] (or /F but /R is more comprehensive since it implies /F) it will ask you to reboot since it needs exclusive access to the entire hard drive contents. Agree and reboot. It will take a very long time depending on how full your hard drive is (with what I've got, it took 2-3 hours). If it can fix any problems on its own, it will.

    I had a similar problem a couple of weeks ago, and it turned out I had a corrupted .tmp file somewhere.

    If that doesn't do it, you either got viruses, or its something else I don't know how to fix.

    It could also be as simple as a bad contact between components inside your computer case. Make sure your video card, sound card, and such things are steadily in their slots, and memories, and everything. With bad luck there could be also physical damage somewhere. That happened years ago with my laptop: The CPU socket had a fracture and the computer froze randomnly.

    But of course it could be also something totally else, like Ryllharu suggested.

    If your computer is randomly restarting it can be due to a number of reasons.

    1) The first thing I would do would be to check the CPU temperature in the bios. 55c+ is usually when you should begin to worry with your processor. If it's too high, you can try blowing the dust out, and if that doesn't help you should reseat the heatsink or get better airflow in your case. An overheating processor will cause your computer to randomly restart or freeze once it reaches a certain point.

    2) The next thing I would check is the RAM. A few months ago my friend added some new RAM in his computer, but it conflicted with the RAM he already had and was causing data to corrupt, thus freezing and restarting his computer at random. There is a program called Memtest 86 that you can make a bootable floppy with and test your RAM. If it fails any of the tests then your RAM is bad. And yes, it can just stop working properly "just like that."

    3) Run virus/spyware check and clear anything it finds out.

    4) Check all the hardware in your computer and make sure everything is connected properly.

    5) Re-format and reinstall your OS if all else fails. Once you reinstall the OS, if the problem still continues, then the problem is obviously with some piece of hardware.

    There are tons of other reasons related to the OS that could cause it to restart, but I usually don't take the time to check for things like that. In the case that something is wrong with your OS, you should probably just reformat, anyway.

    Have you added any new hardware recently?

    I need help with my bittorent. Every file I try to download, no matter how much seeding it has, goes INCREDIBLY slow. Before the download speed went from 55kb to 60kb. Now it takes a huge amount of time to even connect. Same goes for Limewire. The only thing that I did out of the ordinary was downloading nonstop Bleach episodes these past two weeks through limewire (eps. 30 to the latest) since bittorent was being extremely slow. Any ideas?

    Did you try changing your port range? I don't know what client you're using but you should have the option of changing what port you're using to download under "preferences" in most clients. If someone's got a better suggestion, I'm up for it too. My bit torrent's been pretty slow lately as well.

    I got the same problem, I have dsl and my bt downloads used to go 30-50kb/s. Now it goes from 0-20 no matter how many seeds there are, and what's weird is that my upload rate is bigger, it's now 30-40kb/s, it used to be very low. Someone please help.

    hey, i've been working on this month's Feautred VA and I was wondering if anyone knew a good way to go about looking for sound clips from Japanese seiyuus?

    i've only been able to stumble occasionally on random places having random clips of voices from particular shows. Any help would be much appreciated.

    Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".

    Aside from siphoning off the sound from a divx file using one of those video-editing softwares, or maybe even using Audacity to record the sound while playing the anime ep, it'd probably help to know how to Google in Japanese. Sorry dude =T

    To the people having trouble with bittorrent speeds:
    This sounds like a problem with your firewall. Edit the preferences in your firewall and punch a hole in ports 6881 to 6889.

    Altavista should help. Here's what you do: Go to babelfish.altavista.com and type in the name of a seiyuu. I typed in "Mai Yanme" (I know she's a singer, but that's another matter). Select English to Japanese of course, and you should get an answer in Japanese. Copy that then click on the word home. Now click on the MP3/Audio tab and paste the Katakana you just copied. Hit enter and you should find a number of links to sound clips.

    Edit: If Babelfish translation doesn't work just type the name into Wikipedia and you will be provided with a translation of the name. I used Romi Paku as an example. If you follow that link you'll see a table on the right with her name in English and Kanji (also Korean in her case because she was born in Korea). Once you have this information, copy it and put it into the audio search I mentioned previously.

    I hope that helps.

    I need help identifying a video game I have only vague memories of. There's this PC game I played when I was really young that I would love to find the name of.

    I don't remember much about it, but I'll do my best to provide as much details as I can.

    '90s PC game. It was 1st person view.

    I remember the first level took place on this futuristic looking building -- white walls, computerized doors etc. (I liken it to some of the sets in The Fifth Element. Or perhaps I'm just thinking of The Fifth Element and using it to fill in the blank in my memory).

    It was about time travel or something. I just know that at some point (after beating the first level or something) you got in this room and it was a time machine and you could go back to prehistoric times with dinosaurs and junk. And that is about as far as I ever made it (I seriously played this when I was like 7). And I don't remember what exactly, but when you got to the prehistoric times there was like a T-Rex or meteor or something that always killed me.

    I don't remember if you have a gun or shoot things or if there are enemies in the futurist building, but I do remember I found it difficult. So maybe there were enemies...

    edit: I've been informed that I am probably thinking of Myst

    Dudes thanks for the help.

    I'm going to try out the stuff you mentioned. And to answer your questions, I haven't added any new hardware recently and I'm running win 2k.
