While I'm sure the battery needs replaced, I get two error messages when I boot up the computer. The first is before Windows loads, saying "AC adapter type cannot be determined. Please unplug it and plug it in again. Thanks!" Then, when Windows does load, I get a similar message, saying "AC adapter type cannot be determined. Your system will perform slower and your battery will not charge." I have discovered 3 possible causes. 1) When I pack up my laptop, I wrap the cord around the power supply. Apparently, that can damage some wires in the cord, which can result in this error; 2) There is a pin in the middle of the AC adapter where I plug it into the computer. It may be broken; 3) the connections from the power supply to the motherboard are broken and need to be soldered. 2 of the 3 are easy fixes, but I don't want to purchase a new battery or AC adapter just to have the motherboard be bad. Batteries and adapters are not cheap, and I could put that money to a new computer.

Yep. I have officially sworn off Dell computers from here on out. I guess this is fairly common with Dell laptops.

I bought a cheap Dell laptop 4 years ago. Over the past year or so, it has lost all ability to charge the battery, so I have to keep it plugged in to use it. If the AC adapter comes unplugged, the computer turns off right away, and it comes unplugged all the time. It has happened to me a couple times in the middle of either working on a project (luckily I save a lot) or playing a game, which does not automatically save. I want to buy a new laptop, but it's not in my finances right now. I am bugged by everything about this computer.

mlb discussing reallignment (2 15 team leagues)
NeedMoreFans replied to patrickgpe's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
The Rangers have to do this right now, so precedence is already there. -
Just saw some replays. Does anyone have a clue what Carpenter was talking to the ump about after Prince's home run? Was he complaining about how he needs to find a way to explain his poor outing to his son?

mlb discussing reallignment (2 15 team leagues)
NeedMoreFans replied to patrickgpe's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I don't like the argument against interleague late in the season. They count just as much in June as they would in September, but no one puts spotlights on series' in June. Every other league has inter-conference games at all points in the season, I don't see why baseball can't. If they would have season-long interleague, they would probably (and finally) have to have all DH or no DH. Move Houston to the AL West, and everything is good to go. -
I think we have discussed this before, but I believe the Bradley Center was built with bringing the NHL to Milwaukee in mind. The problem was the expansion franchise fee was too high, and no teams were moving in the late 1990s. Then the push south came, and the chances of getting a team disappeared. That building is a hockey building then a basketball building. Edit: Per Wikipedia (so it take with a grain of salt): In the early 1990s, they [Lloyd and Jean Pettit] pursued an NHL expansion franchise, and were considered a front-runner, but withdrew their bid when they felt the expansion fee was too high.

What is the website? Looks like the old Brewers Radio Network site is dead.

We don't subscribe to any kind of TV service (aside from Netflix), which means we use rabbit ears for TV. Normally, there is no problem getting reception. However, on days where it is even a little breezy, some of our channels won't come in. It makes it very difficult to watch TV, and it really bugs me.

And it being covered by the news...

I have had that fake anti-virus window pop up as well, on a couple computers (one was my school laptop that a student decided to use without my permission). I ran Malwarebytes on each computer, and it found a virus each time. I haven't had any problems since on any computer.

What's NOT bugging you? (2007 – 2013)
NeedMoreFans replied to splitterpfj's topic in Off-Topic Forum
Becoming a dad! My wife gave birth to a beautiful baby girl early Sunday morning. One of the first things I did was tell my daughter about going to her first Brewer game! It's a wonderful experience, and am so proud of my wife. -
I really enjoy very well kept lawns. No one else in my neighborhood does. There are dozens and dozens of dandelions in everyone's yard, and I can't keep them away because of how many there are all over the neighborhood. I am hoping that a dedicated fertilizing program this year and next will help make my lawn much stronger, and less susceptible to dandelion infestation. It probably doesn't help that the previous owner of the house did nothing to maintain the lawn...

A program is not necessary. Hook up your iPod, and select your iPod in iTunes. Check the "Enable iPod for disk use" (or something similar to that). Next, make sure you show hidden files on your computer. To do that, in any folder, go to "Tools" then "Folder Options." Click on the "view" tab, then select the show hidden files button. Then, make a folder...anywhere...where you want to transfer your files to. Now, open My Computer, and find your iPod (should be the E: or F:, depending on how many drives you have). Open it. You are looking for a folder called iPod_Control (it will be shaded, because it's a hidden folder). Open it, then open the Music folder. Select everything in that folder, and transfer it to your designated folder. Don't worry about song names...they will come back when you put them in iTunes. Go back to iTunes, and add music to your library from your designated folder. Everything should go in like normal. You will lose your playlists, but you'll still have your music.

I have this uncanny ability to hit every single red light on any trip. I had to run an errand today and had to go through 5 stoplights each way. I hit every intersection when the light was red, many just turned red as I approached.

One pet peeve with FF 4...on the "back" button, I can't seem to find a drop down of the past 10 or so pages I was on. That means I have to click the "back" button 3-4 times to get back to a page I visited earlier. Not a big deal, but it is a change from 3.xx.

I'm sure everyone has seen what the south has gone through this week. Wow. They said there were over 150 tornadoes yesterday, and the average April has 116, nationwide. It is really unfortunate so many people have lost their lives in these storms.

Charter calls me plenty, but I never answer. I get frequent missed calls from a 1-877 number that I Googled, and it came up as Charter. I know they want to sell me stuff. I just called last week to reduce my services and the guy on the phone tried to get me to purchase new services. I told him flat out that I wanted to lower my bill, but then gave me this song and dance about how they offer local channels and I need them in case there is bad weather. I told him I get the internet and I have an antenna. That pretty much shut him up.

Why don't you just plan on not being home during that part of the day? I don't know when they will be calling. My sister could call, theoretically, any time of the day on Sunday. My parents...I could, but I they are hopefully bringing stuff my grandpa is giving to me. You need to put a stop to this. I have called my mother out on this twice....the first time I complained about giving us 20 minutes notice, the second time about giving us a couple days notice before a major holiday. Both times, she reamed me out for not being more inviting and not being appreciative of them visiting.
-
So on top of my sister calling me the other night, pretty much asking to come over for a little while on Sunday, my in-laws are now here for 2 nights. This is the 3rd time in the past 6 weeks they have come and spent at least one night at our house. To put icing on the cake, my parents are visiting my grandparents in Iowa this weekend. There is a 99% chance I get a phone call on Sunday from them telling me they are stopping by on their way home. What's worse is they will probably call when they are in Verona, and I live in Middleton. I can think of at least 10 instances in the past few years where I have had less than 20 minutes notice that a family member was coming over (and everyone lives over 2 hours away...so it's not like they are popping by on their way home from the store). Yes, this is my family. This is normal. I hate it...it bugs me.

For my birthday/Christmas, my wife got me 4 pounds of Kona coffee from Hawaii. I'm a coffee snob, so this came as an absolute wonderful treat. I just opened the final pound today...it was the most expensive type she ordered...and wow...it is amazing. -
This is the week of my spring break. I have a major project to tackle (staining windows) where I need about 2 days of dry warmth, and was hoping that would have happened this week. This sucks...
-
My family has this habit of calling us just a few days before a holiday to ask what we are doing and proceed to ask if they can come over. My mom did it 4 days before Thanksgiving and my sister just did it tonight for Easter. We do have 6 days before Easter, but I'm not very happy about this...

Winter Storm watches posted for the northern half of Wisconsin for Tuesday. Says there are places that could get 6-10 inches of snow. Will this winter please go away?
-
Dane, Green, and Rock counties were all added to the tornado watch, which means there is now an unbroken line from the UP to the OK/TX border that is under a tornado watch. Crazy... The line just moved through Middleton. Pretty weak here. Within 5 minutes of it passing, I saw the moon and stars. Now to cool the house down.
