There are two files I've downloaded for work, both .ZIP, but if I try to extract them, I get "Windows cannot open the folder. The Compressed (zipped) Folder <filepath> is invalid," and if I try to open them with 7-zip, I get, "Can not open file <filepath> as archive." Frustrating. Neither...

So my niece is 6 and reading a ton. She's getting very good, even when she is exhausted she pushes through. Recently she's been trying some harder words -there was a long talk about 'enough' and 'through' the other night, which resulted in her giving a big (and adorable) sigh. What books are...

I think my colleague's computer has some less-than great sneaky files on it. What're my best options? Working on Windows 7 64bit MSE says no threats are detected, but she's getting a pop up near the start menu that says "Backup your computer now for free!" and there are few things in the...

So I have a file path like this, which takes you to the folder containing all the images for whatever code 4000 stands for: C:\MainProject\ProjectImages\Images4000\ An image link inside of this is then C:\MainProject\ProjectImages\Images4000\specialproject4000gaba_0035.jp2 These image links...

A colleague of mine has a few very large (100 pages, pictures of documents, size ranges from 200MB to 700MB) PDF files that she needs to print for research, but they take forever to send to a printer making it impossible to get them all printed. Is there a quick way to fix this? Splitting them...

Oh my god. So, on Tuesday a 20-year old gunman entered into a school in Decatur, Georgia with an AK-47. The school's bookkeeper, Antoinette Tuff, spoke with him and talked him down. No one was killed. I just want to hug this woman...

Yeah. My hometown has an incredible Children's Hospital, and they gave the youngest person ever an artifical heart pump -and now she has heart transplant. Fuck yeah medicine http://www.edmontonjournal.com/health/Stollery+Hospital+patient+youngest+receive+artificial/8738390/story.html

Leopold travelled from England to sign the new Belgian constitution, and having shed off the oppressive tyranny of Dutch clogs the year before, the independent state of Belgium began. Have a great celebration, Bubble181!

I figure there's enough of us with tattoos, and also I am just really selfishly excited about showing off the progress on my latest one. So yesterday I sat for five hours and we got through the linework on my compass rose. In a couple weeks I go back to do the greyscale shading where you now...

What I mean is, what are you reminded of in many different types of circumstances? For instance, a book that has lessons on many types of problems or situations? A person who often knew just what to say? For me it is the poem Ozymandias by Percy Bysshe Shelley. I find it oddly applicable to...

Here are some real truths about me. There is very little I would do for a klondike bar. I do not enjoy them particularly, nor particularly do I dislike them Given the choice between them, I'd choose the Grinch. Can you even contemplate the ball of teeth, rage and mess involved with a seasick...

What is the purpose behind our existence? I find it empty and generally difficult and painful. I find no meaning in it. What do you find? What do you believe? (42 is the meaning to life, universe and everything, smartasses, I'm limiting it to one of those 3. Which I guess is 14 depending...

Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, is purely intentional. Top forty with a lazy dance beat. This is what passes for club music at most bars and night clubs. No one is here for music, anyway, no one know who DJ Teyla is. No one cares, no matter how many times he announces his...

If anyone is interested, I would like to set up a Civ V game with as many human players as possible. We can either try to schedule regular times to play, or set up some kind of turn timer (I think this is possible) such as 24 hours, and if you don't login within that, the turn automatically...

Greetings one and everyone, I am completely shit at making playlists. I don't... know how to do it. And I need a summer playlist, and I'm willing to reward you for doing it for me. Here are the entry rules. Minimum 25 tracks - this is more about length than absolutes. I won't disqualify a...

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/story/2013/06/17/bc-abbotsford-homeless-tents.html So I guess Abbotsford, BC thinks a good solution to homelessness is to destroy their tents and spray them with bear mace and chicken manure. Yeah.

So an opportunity has sort of fallen into my lap. It would be a significant improvement in pay, benefits, and it would be permanent, whereas my current job has an expiration date of June 2014. Currently I'm working for a university research project, as the project coordinator. I was just given...

Alone in my apartment, with nothing but Archer to keep me company. Come and eulogise me, so that I might read them and become a horrible egoist, or broken man before I pass into the great unknown.

Inspired by I once had to fake an orgasm -and I am a guy, so this seems particularly anomalous- because the girl I was with would do little other than lay there. During foreplay she gave the worst blowjob I've ever had (yay teeth?) and refused to tell me what she enjoyed even when directly...

Okay so I bought 16GB of RAM (2 x 8GB) to add to my computer. Pop them into DIMM 1 and 3; 0 and 1 have my original 4GB still in them. Computer gives a long beeeeeeep. Nothing on the monitor, a pause, long beep again. Long beep again. Over and over. So I turn it all off, unplug. Try to boot...
