Ok, my turn.

I need a flashcard-like software. I don't know the exact word for what I'm searching actually, so let me explain with an example:

I'd like to have a software which prints on screen a sentence in a foreign language. Under it there's a form where I can type in the answer. Once I submit the sentence, a simple check is performed to see wheter the answer is correct or not.

I'd like to be able to add more sentences to the database / to have quizzes in both ways (from english to x-language and vice versa).

It seems easy enough to code in whatever-language-you-like, but it feels a waste of time if there's already something similar out there on the int3rnets.

Thanks in advance for nay help.

Just now the forums were down for me. It soon picked up again, but I was just wondering whether there is a back-up plan if, for some reason, the forums went down permanently?

Go to lookout point and flash your torch into the sky 3 times whilst wearing a single red rose in your lapel.

Someone will come for you.

Yes, the wall on CJ's house. We gather there and write onto it. Moderators carry bucket of water and a soap.

But CJ told me off last time I wrote on his garden wall. It'll teach me to keep my distance next time... :

Joking of course. Although I love what you've done with your bedroom interior CJ.

That's because you were naked.

Edit for new message: How do I set the language that appears on my profile? I can see no field for it.

Yet another question:

I'm lookin for an out of print book. Title is "100 Dictation exercises on the Thousand most-frequently used Words", written by Reginald Dutton.

I can't find it nowhere on the net. Is there a site where I can kind of place an "ad" (like "I'm searching for this and that") and can be contacted if someone has the item I'm interested into?
I'm sure someone's bound to have it, they just don't know I'm willing to buy it!

Another one to add to the list, PC & video related:

Video files won't upload on youtube. Not had this problem before. All other uploading procedures are fine, ie FTP uploads, uploading photos to facebook. Videos used to upload fine but now my connection will upload maybe a meg at most and then nothing more, and the bar will stay in the same place and the upload never completes.

What could be wrong? Is there some settings in "internet options" i should have on/off? And what about Windows Firewall? You can't list websites as exceptions so what should I be looking for? Many thanks

Amazingly, it's not available at abebooks.com, but you can "Place a Want" on that site and when a bookstore gets it they will let you know. Not quite what you asked for but it might work out.

Done! Let's see if that helps!

Youtube has been rather buggy the last couple of weeks because of a major update.

I asked about this on page 8, so sorry if I'm repeating things, but the problem was never resolved and now I really need to get my iPod working.

So yeh, basically my laptop doesn't recognise my iPod.
I have iTunes, my iPod is formatted for Windows and I've tried everything the Apple support site has to offer.
It must be a problem with my computer (backed up by the fact that my mobile phone doesn't talk to my computer either).

Any ideas from a Windows point of view? As I'm pretty sure everything Apple-related has been tried andseems to be in order...

Quick question:

I remember a movie about angles attacking men, because God gave up on humans, so he's sending the angels to kill the woman to bear birth to humans' saviour. A fallen arch angel is fighting the ords of God.

What's the name of this movie please?

[discordance]

Legion, perhaps? Just came out?

[GarageGothic]

Was Christopher Walken in it? It sounds a bit like The Prophecy/God's Army.

[Ryan Timothy B]

Yeah it's Legion.

[Stupot]

Sounds rubbish...
