    Email Heights

    I've done that a million times, it's a great way to quickly save something for later, to make it accessible from everywhere where there's internet... Since I have unlimited storage for free, it actually makes quite a lot of sense.

    14 Hours in Brussels

    Hello everyone! I've been away from CFC lately, with all the traveling and work I've had to do this summer. So here's a new thread, dedicated to our oh-so-international community. :D And here's the story: next week, on Tuesday, thanks to the utter absence of low-cost flights to western...

    Would you like to be famous?

    Inspired from the minor cosmetic surgery thread. It seems the options are very divided among the members here, on this subject. The question in the title speaks for itself. Would you like to become famous or would you rather stay in anonymity? Which one of those options appeals to you more? And...

    Another German-learning question thread (bilingual texts)

    Hey, As my previous thread about Germany was asking for a translation of certain bits of text, I don't think I'm entitled to bump that just because the question is again pertaining to the German language, without much of a connection otherwise. So here's a new one. Basically, here's the...

    Inappropriate ad?

    Right now I'm getting a pretty annoying ad, from UGO, for a particular movie, Mirrors. While I've seen it, and of course don't mind the movie itself too much as I'm quite at peace with horror movies, the movie "carries an R rating by the MPAA for strong violence, disturbing images, language and...

    Motherboard / sound card compatibility question

    I need to buy a better sound card for music-related stuff I'm doing, since what I have right now is really outdated. I have this motherboard: Asus M2N E SLI (http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=M2N-E-SLI-GREEN-DT&cat=MBB) and I want to buy this sound card: Sound Blaster X-Fi Fatal1ty FPS...

    German help needed!

    I noticed a lot of people asked for German help on this forum, so why not make one more thread like that? :p Okay, so here's the story: I'm applying for a university in Germany, among other places I'm trying to get in at. I've started "serious" German lessons, after about 4 years of a break...

    Patriarch Alexyi II of Russia dead

    http://uk.reuters.com/article/worldNews/idUKTRE4B60RQ20081207 Your thoughts about this man? You know anything about him? His accomplishments or lack thereof? Any idea who's going to be his successor? Any idea about the Russian Orthodox Church in general? Just wondering what the OT folks...

    In which of those would you live (student) / what do you know about those places?

    Just wondering, next year I HOPE I'll be going to study abroad (finally) and I'm just curious as to what CFC users think about the locations. I already have my preferences set very well, but I'm just curious to learn more about those places, if anyone here knows them. For a while, Vienna...

    A mixed scientific-historic question

    We all know that in the time when sea travel lasted for several weeks or months, taking enough provisions of drinking water on board has been a major problem for a lot of people, and the cause of death and thirst for all those that were running out of it, since sea water is not drinkable...

    Old "Random Rants" threads...

    What happened to them? When I try to access them I get the "don't have permission" message, which means probably that they have been moved to a mod/non-member forum, or deleted. I can only see the 6th one in OT, and the current one, the 7th one. What happened with the other 5?? Why are they...

    Virus question

    Somehow I got a very nasty virus on my computer... don't know how or why. When I start my computer, it automatically changes my desktop to blue with a box in the middle saying something about my computer being infected with malware (it's not the same message every time, so I can't tell exactly...

    "Continue" - can you beat it? Just keep going to the next screen ;)

    Seems like a very simple game, at least in theory. :p Just keep advancing to the next screen. http://nonoba.com/robbit/continue Can you beat it? And if you have, how long did it take you to? (approximately) It's not particularly difficult compared to some other games...

    Another music thread - if given the chance, would you go for money or for quality?

    Ok, so basically right now I have a big choice to make. I play classical guitar, for quite some time, but I've never even conceived the idea of being close-minded and focusing on only one style (although I love it so much). So now that I have an electric guitar, I'm wondering which path to...

    I was wondering if this text formatting feature could be enabled...

    I was wondering if this formatting feature could be enabled... I have to warn you though, I've never seen it on any forum, and I've always wondered why, but I think it would be extremely useful. I'm talking about the possibility to have more than one column in one's post. It could be very...

    Discuss and recommend me some 2006-2008 movies please!

    I'm trying to catch up with my very modern film history (history - anything that happened before 1 hour ago ;)). Having a very good friend at a CD store, I can get pretty much any movie I want for free, and I'd like some recommendations. I've already seen many of the 2008 most successful...

    Movies in a different language - dubbing or subtitles?

    This is a simple poll, inspired by Winner's thread about English words in other languages. When watching movies in a language that you don't understand, do you prefer to have subtitles to read, or to have a dubbing in your language over the original voices of the actors? I will post my views...

    An offer concerning the upcoming NATO summit

    Here is a really interesting offer concerning the upcoming NATO summit in Bucharest, the magnificent event for which the mayor of Bucharest will paralyse roughly 1 million people, blocking all the main streets and shutting down almost all public transport. Don't worry, the link is in English...

    For Kosovo independence supporters: Would you recognize this country?

    Assuming the majority of the people living there would want it, would you recognize this country if it wanted to split up? If you aren't ready to make this assumption, well, then PLEASE vote for the last option in the poll. Let's see: - the majority of the people would have a completely...

    A very HYPOTHETICAL backpacking trip through southeastern Europe

    After spending some great time in a cheap hostel in Belgrade, seeing lots of foreigners and understand how you will always pretty much only meet people with an adventurous spirit in such places, people with whom you have what to talk about, see fantastic stuff, have a lot of fun and getting...
