Your post was disrespectful.
Time for a proxy spanking.

And now a little test: If I were to tell you that I'm playing around with artificial intelligence, what would you have to say to that? I already have the answer from a real fanatic as reference.

Type? Who needs to type? Look at the growing army of illiterals out there who are happy as long as they can smear around on a touchscreen. If they had to, they would do it with the tips of their noses.

RantBabylon Toolbarmembervirang_218 Nov '12 - 14:32 
Few days ago I was installing a photo printing software (freeware) on my machine and during installation I noticed that it was asking for installing Babylon toolbar (The piece of crap that highjack your search engines in browsers) so I deselected it as I knew how nasty it is to remove later. Even though I asked not to install it it ended up on my system and infected IE/FF/Crome/Registry . Took me a while to get rid of it.Mad | :mad:
 
I think the people / company who wrote this piece of crap should be prosecuted. There may be millions of not so savvy users who fall pray to this nasty crapware/hijacker.

Most AV engines flag that as malicious software, with good reason. I have tried Babylon software before, and found it did not work well. I really hate these browser hijackers.
I think computer viruses should count as life. I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We've created life in our own image.

Can you tell me how, please. It has been bugging me, for the past few weeks.
The master of the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his education and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which; he simply pursues his vision of excellence in whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he is always doing both.

GeneralRe: Babylon Toolbarmembervirang_2110 Nov '12 - 11:01 
Check in your Control panel -> Add or remove programs and remove any babylone software (Sometimes it is called with different name so you have to check the whole list and see which one is related to it)
 
Delete the folder called Babylon XXX from your program files
 
Find and delete any babylon related files in AppData folder in MyDocuments
 
Search registry for Babylon entries and delete them.
 
In your browser see if you can see any babylon entries in Extensions/Plugins and remove them...
 
It changes your default startup page in browser to its own site so remove them and set to default or whatever you want...

You should update your post with the name of the photo printing software as it is useful info for the rest of us.
People say nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.

The software is called Camtoprint (Cam to Print)....

Hi all,
I am not a programmer but I was given the opportunity to attend an Android development class and now I have to create my own project which i don't know what to do or how to do it,
 
can anybody help me build something simple but impressive, i am really willing to learn but the project is for this week and i don't think i can have something ready by the delivery date which is Tuesday next week, i have learned a lot in the class but i am going to have to go back and review everything so i can feel confident about building something on my own...
I'd appreciate your help
Thanks.

Lucky you! I guess you want to be a programmer then?

I kinda highlighted something for you there.

So you're looking for suggestions of a project? Difficult considering we don't know what was covered in the course, and so don't know what you are capable of doing...

or how to do it,

Oh, dear.
 

AnyelMartich wrote:

There are lots of people here who could, I'm not sure why they would want to though?
 

AnyelMartich wrote:

Isn't the idea that you use what you learned in class, not get someone else to do it for you?
 
AnyelMartich wrote:

Good!
 
AnyelMartich wrote:

I suspect that is exactly the idea of getting you to do a project!
