Any suggestions on great, FREE html editors?

Let's write our own ongoing story! The rules: You get 10 words or less, punctuation doesn't count (use it, but it doesn't count towards your ten words), stick to the story as it unfolds as much as possible, read the whole story so you can re-use characters and situations in it, and have a silly time! Here goes: While on holiday in Barbados, Aldo, the chubby but overly

So I must have some spyware or something that hijacks my google and yahoo searches and returns results to a bunch of spam crap. Anyone heard of this? Can anyone do a quick search on the internet for a fix?

Given the amount of very stupid people in today's world, I thought I would dedicate a thread to them. Just tell us the stupidest things you have ever seen... For starters, here's a good website for this: http://www.darwinawards.com And here's mine: A student who was very interested in a teacher's demonstration of the effect of sodium in water decided to do some testing of his own. He extracted some sodium from the tank of oil it was stored in (to prevent a reaction) and wrapped it in paper towel, then put it in his pocket. Eventually, his sweat soaked through, and POOF! he experienced the demonstration firsthand. He experienced severe burns to his private …

don't get mad at me, I know there is a Biomedical Ethics forums but this thread is meant to be different. I had an idea to discuss everyday ethical decisions. If my idea sucks go ahead and let me know. So heres my question. If an underage girl does everything in her power to seduce you what do you do?

Hello, all, I am a new member and this is my first post. I am a 33 year old male who is from California (basically--father was military so we moved a lot) but I am now living in Japan. As my job teaching English to high school and junior high school students leaves a lot to be desired in terms of the mental work I have to do, I have begun to turn, yet again, back to books as a source to exercise my brain. Anyway, I won't bore you with all those details. My basic question is this--what are some good books to read in the areas of science? Or even history if you know any? I love reading about evolution or human evolution, astronomy, etc...But keep in mind that I am an Eng…

all I can afford to buy is a new Honda. i'm going to get laughed at. would a cute chick or a vanity license plate make me cooler?

Today I entered this forum several times and a link to this site appeared: http://www.americantaskforce.org/news/roundup.htm I don't really have problems with ads, but this kind of stuff pisses me off. I'm Jewish, I'm pro-Israel and I don't care what they have to say. I don't want to see this crap here anymore.

So how do get caffiene into your body? I have always liked Coke, though last year I started drinking 'energy drinks'. That subsided, and lately I have been drinking tea.

I would profile myself as physician. because my career of eng. comp. systems. its related to... we have some common brances such as... Biologist, Chemist, Physician, Psychologist, Medic.

I guess this might sound weird but since I'm 11 years old I feel and believe that pictures around me look at me. I believe they can see me and hear everything I do and say. It mustly happens with picture of guys I like or artists I like. Now all the pictures in my room are of people not looking directly to the camera because the feeling is so strong that if I have posters or pics that make me feel watched I go and change outside the room so they won't see me naked. Also I was so sure that the people on the pics could see me that sometimes I used to carry the pictures with me so they could see how popular and cool I was... IT IS SOOOOOO DISTURBING HELP ME! Its very uncomf…

This has to be one of the most ridiculous stickers I've seen yet, right across the power socket.

...what did you want to be when you "grew up"? For those already on the career path, are you headed where you wanted to go? For those who are perhaps still undecided or still at school, do you think your childhood dreams were childish and silly, or are you determined to make it happen?

I've always been fascinated with spiders and have kept a few as pets, including a Mexican tarantula. I do have a problem and that is I can never get a descent picture of the spiders. I've seen some great shots, some were even done *supposedly* by a disposable cameras, but I've always had this problem. I've even used the conventional film cameras and some quality digi cameras to no avail. So my question is, how do these people do it? If anybody has any experience at taking pictures of spiders in their natural habitat and obtain results better then mediocre, how do you do it and with what? I'm not willing to buy professional grade equipment as like I said, I've…
