A lady asks various people if it makes them happy, all from answers of No because when techonology isn't working (i.e., when the internet isn't connecting, or a cell phone battery dies) they are very displeased, and other answers Yes (i.e., because it helps them get stuff done like homework, and helps them enjoy things they love like writing and photography). So does technology make all of you happy? If it didn't... what are you doing as a CIS major?!?! lol Just kidding. But ya, I'm a geek, technology makes me happy.. I get excited over new gadgets. Don't lie, I know you all do too...]]> tag:learningremix.net,2007:/w2007integ/kmorris5//22.1810 2007-04-22T03:52:21Z 2007-04-22T03:56:59Z

I literally cannot use the internet without 15 popups every couple of minutes. So with a Spyware remover (Webroot) that I have, it removed 87 traces. The problem is, there is STILL spyware! My question is.. whats the best way to get rid of it? In the past I've removed it from the regedit, but I can't seem to find it in there. Anyone have any home remedies they can offer? tag:learningremix.net,2007:/w2007integ/kmorris5//22.1808 2007-04-22T03:43:05Z 2007-04-22T03:47:39Z

Because as Dave was typing the SQL code in and we were getting errors, me, as one of the on-lookers, was able to catch a couple errors. If you have that second pair of eyes, or even third pair, programming is more understandable.. and come on, if you have that many eyes lookin at some code, you're bound to find the error, lol. ]]> tag:learningremix.net,2007:/w2007integ/kmorris5//22.1801 2007-04-21T22:25:24Z 2007-04-21T22:28:00Z

I was just with a friend yesterday helping him pick out a computer and he wanted this fancy smanshy computer with a huge harddrive and all these fancy gizmos on it (the live tv, etc.) and I'm like.. seriously. What do you need that for? You have everything you need online, you arent going to be buying a bunch of games that use up a lot of hard drive space, etc. Especially for the common user.. So I dunno, I guess in a way desktop applications (outlook, photoshop, word, etc.) is being outrun by so many online services. Is that good? Who knows.. saves me some space though. :)]]> tag:learningremix.net,2007:/w2007integ/kmorris5//22.1639 2007-04-13T23:55:07Z 2007-04-20T20:55:05Z

So a little input from people.. Do you think a discussion group draws attention to a website and brings users back? I personally think so, but I just wanted to get some feedback. Aside from technical stuff and MORE fancy gadgets on our page, we're trying to make it geared more towards the user. Does anyone else have any ideas?

I replied: "I want to grow with the company, help expand, and make a difference with your company". or something along the lines of that, make sure you research the company (which I did, I was just a little too nervous to remember anything, lol), and give a little fact about their company with some of your responses.
