How the heck do i paste a chart of numbers from a web page to excel and keep the chart format? So far I've tried pasting then clicking on the 'paste options' button, but it doesn't work for me.

Depends on how the data ends up in excel. If you have several rows of data, like this:

1 2 3 4 5
6 7 8 9 10
11 12 13 14 15

And they appear as just three cells, highlight those cells and go to data -> text to columns -> delimited -> separate by space. That should work to get each number into a different cell.

Other than that, there are a few other tricks, but I'd have to know how Excel is formatting it first.

Ah thanks a lot Integral! It worked out fine using your way.

It will reach one billion at approximately year 2300 (can't post you a link, but I swear it, I read it somewhere).

The world will be over by then. Or so radically different i doubt predictions.

Abbadon, you're right. D)

zxcvbnm is actually an account on this forum.

Yeah, I was reminded of that name. Then I wondered what it was. Then I realized it was the entire bottom row of letters on the keyboard.

I used one of those for another forum, but I don't know about using them for anything secure.

From what I've heard or read, hackers usually brute force a password using dictionary words. So I think it will be secure, since without knowing what it is, something like agm154a1 looks like a random bunch of letters.

Am I cuter then Daches?

What is "Daches"?

 

[Mad Man]

It's Dachs with an "e" in it.

 

[Abaddon]

Well i don't know what Dachs looks like, but he is a pretty sweet NESer...

 

[eastsidebagel]

Oh I see. Yes, you are definitely cuter than him. "Dachs" means badger in German, BTW.

Are there any experts on Apartheid on the boards?

There are at least two fanboys of it on this forum. Do those count?

Why do 'party people' all over the globe make this sign when posing for drunk photos?

I hate drunk people. And my nephew makes that sign too, regardless of the alcohol content of his blood.

By the way, nice to see you (your avatar and username) again, Bozo Erectus.

You cut me deep there just now, bagel dude. Cut me real deep.

In what sense? I have a (what I consider to be) vague familiarity with the policy of apartheid...

How far away could the North Koreans hit with their current missiles?

How far away could the North Koreans hit with their current missiles?

According to FAS, up to 1500km with current missiles; three longer-range missiles are in production. I don't know how current their public info is, though. The Taepodong-2 missile (range 4,000km) is still in production; North Korea intends to test it in a few months. Their most recent test of the Taepodong-2 was in 2006, detailed by wiki.
