basket case

one who is crazy, well i'll let the lyrics of the Green Day song say it for you.
Do you have the time
To listen to me whine
About nothin' and everything
All at once?

I am one of those
Melodramatic fools.
Neurotic to the bone,
No doubt about it.

Sometimes I give myself the creeps.
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me.
It all keeps addin' up.
I think I'm crackin' up.
Am I just paranoid,
Or am I just stoned?

I went to a shrink
To analyze my dreams.
She said it's lack of sex
That's bringin' me down.

I went to a whore.
He said my life's a bore,
So quit my whining cuz
It's bringin' her down.

Sometimes I give myself the creeps.
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me.
It all keeps addin' up.
I think I'm crackin' up.
Am I just paranoid?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Grasping to control.
So I better hold on.

Sometimes I give myself the creeps.
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me.
It all keeps addin' up.
I think I'm crackin' up.
Am I just paranoid,
Or am I just stoned?

Error Reporting

One of the most annoying 'features of Windows XP. However, it does produce the orgasmic feeling of telling Microsoft that there has been yet another problem with thier "operating" system
Windows Error Reporting has encountered an error, would you like you send an error report?

GPS

Global Positioning System

Complex network of satellites that transmit signals to ground receviers in cars, boats, airplanes (see also VOR). The GPS receiver uses the signals from the satellites (which are over 15,000 miles away!) and uses them to find your location, anywhere in the world, with incredable accuracy.
Without GPS, countless losers who can't use a VOR would be lost"

ADF

Automatic Direction Finder
or
Automatic Direction Finding System

a navagation system used by aircraft and sea-going ships. It consists of one or more ground stations that transmit a signal in the 225 to 500 kHz (.225 to .500 MHz) range. Because of the low-frequnecy of these signals, their range is very good and not limited by the line-of-sight range of the VOR system. The recevier in the airplane/boat uses a loop antenna to "home-in" on the station. There is also a long-wire receiving antenna installed on many aircraft. Most ADF receivers can also recieve the AM broadcast band (530 to 1710 kHz) so pilots can also home in on powerful broadcast stations.

ADF signals should not be used in thunderstorms because the high amount of electro-magnetic interferance that lightening causes.

Many pilots can't even use the ADF system, which is a shame, becuase of better systems such as VOR and the GPS systems.
"In most of the third world, the ADF navigation system is the only way to go"

Spybot - Search & Destroy

An excellent program which removes Spyware, Adware, daillers and many other malacious programs and files on your computer. It can also fix registry problems and remove usage tracks from your registry. It is a free download as are the update files (same with Ad-Aware, another great program).
I use both Ad-Aware and Spybot - Search & Destroy on my computer to remove spyware and other bad programs.
