  • How do I install Creeper World in Ubuntu?

    CreeperWorld3DEMO-linux.tgz

    is the file I downloaded from knucklecracker.com

    It's supposed to be the free demo specifically for linux. The other demos are for windoze or osx.

    Inside this file is a folder.

    Inside that folder is another folder and two files. The files are:

    CW3.x86 and CW3.x86_64

    The folder is CW3_DATA

    What do I do? Clicking on the file brings up a 'select an application' window.

  • How do I connect a pipe to a garden hose nib/bib?

    Will a 3/4" water heater hose connect to a outside garden hose nib?

    Here is the situation: I have a pex line that I would like to connect to the outside faucet such that I can unscrew it and drain it for the winter. I have a steel braid hose to connect the pex (Sharkbite) to the faucet, except it says for a water heater, which to my understanding is the same size faucet as for an outdoor garden hose. For some reason this connector won't screw on tight. It's as if the threads are all wrong. So I'm wondering if this is just a defect or if I need to find a different way to connect. If the later, then how do I make the connection?

  • what video card will SLI with the onboard graphics?

    My friend has a Biostar A780L3C motherboard with an AMD Athlon II x 4 640 Quad Core CPU and 4 gig of DDR3 ram. This motherboard has 1 x PCI-E x16 2.0 Slot, 1 x PCI Slot, Integrated Video: ATI Radeon™ HD3000 Graphics, On Board Graphic Max. Memory Share Up to 1024 MB, Hyper Transport Technology up to 3.2G

    I'm sure it has to be an AMD card, but I'm not sure if it needs to be one with HD3xxx. I know in the beginning it needed to be in the same series, but didn't that change?

    This will be for multiple monitors not for gaming.

  • How do I appeal the deletion of an answer when I get sent the link to the confusing page that asks for topic and subtopic etc.?

    These are the details:

    I got the following in my mail:

    Deleted Answer: How can you be sure the person asking this question is white? It seems more like someone whose goal is propaganda to stir up racism and racial hate. The Human Genome Project has proven that race is a social concept only. When the DNA of people in socially classified racial categories was compared, there were more differences within a group than across group lines. If race exists, it does not use the socially accepted visual identifiers. Further, there wasn't any grouping that had enough genetic differences to consider any grouping a subgroup of the human species the way animals are sometimes classified as subspecies. Humans are all too closely genetically the same to consider anyone of a different race. Further, such visually identifiable features as large nostrils and dark skin are brought out by environment. Everyone has the ability to eventually express these traits. Just as crocodile gender is determined by the temperature of the nest, so too environmental factors influence what genes express and how people look. A population can morph from one extreme to another in less than a hundred generations with no mixing outside the gene pool. However, organization that derive power from racial hate, such as the SPLC, Black Panthers, etc. would have an interest in stirring up and continuing the hate. They don't want to end racism. Without racism, their organization no longer has a need to exist!

  • What is the big deal about hot flashes?

    I would have thought women would enjoy them, so why are there drug companies advertising drugs that make them go away and suggesting that they steal your moment from a party? How could they do that?

    That's like suggesting that an embarrassing ***** on a teen could steal his moment from a party.

  • How do I fix an infected router?

    I have two routers that apparently have been infected by something since I cannot view web pages when connected through them. Firefox will ask me what I want to do with the file. At first I was able to do google searches but clicking on a search result would bring up that popup. BTW, this is not limited to Firefox, but also affects Google Chrome and Seamonkey. This began while I was using Ubuntu, then I booted to Mint, then Puppy to no avail. I realized it was the router and not any computer when I plugged my computer directly into the DSL modem and it worked. Resetting the router did not fix the problem. Trying a different router only seemed to result in it getting infected too. My parent's computer is a windoze machine that I haven't been able to check, but their experience is normal when plugged directly into the modem, so we have just been taking turns so far. Today I plugged in a Switch rather than a router and my experience is normal. I haven't been able to check theirs and I don't know if their computer is even on. Anyway, I'm pretty sure that the router itself is infected since it did not work with only my computer plugged in. So I just need to know how to fix that for now.

  • Would lowering the minimum wage for men only fix the wage gap?

    More men would be hired at the lower rate, thus the averages would equal out.

  • Women: what would you do in this situation?

    If you falsely accused a man of rape and after he was jailed you felt remorse and went to the prosecutor to change your story, but the prosecutor threatened to prosecute you if you changed your story, would you willingly go to jail for what you did or would you stick to your lie?

  • Why is PATA/IDE to USB adapter the same thing as USB to PATA/IDE?

    I want to convert the IDE on the motherboard to additional USB capacity, but no matter how I search all I keep finding is an adapter to connect an IDE drive to a USB port. THAT'S NOT WHAT I WANT! What word combination can I use to find what I want?

  • What is the reason for violation when the reason states TOS violation? Isn't that circular logic?

    I got a message saying my appeal was declined. Okay, so why? What was wrong about the question? The reason stated in the message is "TOS violation". That doesn't tell me anything. So is this more evidence that the people reviewing appeals are flipping a coin rather than working?

  • How do Buddhists live with spiders?

    I know not every Buddhists chooses to cohabitate with spiders. My question is about the ones that let the spider alone. Any tips for how to peacefully coexist with spiders are appreciated. Catching them and relocating them is not an option. How would you feel if someone scooped you up out of your paradise and dropped you off in a harsh desert? Forced relocation is not peaceful.

  • Is Benjamin Franklin's advice here misogyny or does it actually help women?

    http://www.swarthmore.edu/SocSci/bdorsey1/41docs/5...

    5. Because in every Animal that walks upright, the Deficiency of the Fluids that fill the Muscles appears first in the highest Part: The Face first grows lank and wrinkled; then the Neck; then the Breast and Arms; the lower Parts continuing to the last as plump as ever: So that covering all above with a Basket, and regarding only what is below the Girdle, it is impossible of two Women to know an old from a young one. And as in the dark all Cats are grey, the Pleasure of corporal Enjoyment with an old Woman is at least equal, and frequently superior, every Knack being by Practice capable of Improvement.
