Re: Can someone please tell me....
Oh ye I knew that off the top of my head, but surely the logical thing would be to use google or another search engine?
To use such search engines, first find a decent one. Preferbly one like google, which wont give your details/searchs/ip over to the authorities.
Google can be found at www.google.com
you may prefer the UK specific option which can be found at www.google.co.uk or even the japanese version which can be found at www.google.jp . My personal favourite is the uk version though.
Now to searching itself. Type in what you are looking for try and be as specific as possible. For example you want to know what the capital of Romania is.
So type in Romania Capital.
Google will then list all of the sites related to this topic, listing the most relevant/useful first.
If you want a more specific search such as The population of Bucharest. Type in Population Bucharest. If this fails you can always widen your search boundries. Such as Population, Bucharest, Romania. Or even ask the question itself "What is the population of Bucharest?"
Now say you wanted a picture of Bucharest. Type in Bucharest. Then click on images. It will then display relevant images, in an easy to view form.
Hope this helps.

Re: Can someone please tell me....
An even nicer way to use Google, as I've mentioned before is using the "define" function.
So if you type in define:Romania you get :
Quote:
- was a monarchy until the end of World War II, a relatively new country created in the late nineteenth century out of provinces conquered from the Ottoman Empire. But the Romanians are an ancient people, descendants of the Roman inhabitants of the province of Dacia. The Jewish population of this region has been large since at least the Dark Ages. Romania also has the world’s largest Gypsy population, even though a quarter million of these semi- nomadic people also died in the Holocaust.
dhrc.wright.edu/faces/glossary.htm
- Romania is located in Eastern Europe. The capital of Romania is Bucharest. Rug weaving in Romania can go back in time as far as the sixteenth century during the reign of Ottoman Empire. A large number of Romanian kelims are imported to the US.
http://www.eruggallery.com/learnrugs...glossary_r.htm
- already used PZL P.11f built under licence in the IAR factory, and decided to buy the licence for a new plane as well. As a result, Romania bought 6 P.24E in Poland and built further 44 aircraft IAR P.24E from 1937 to 1939. Some components of the P.24E, mainly its tail section, were used in construction of the Romanian low-wing fighter IAR 80.
encycl.opentopia.com/term/PZL_P.24
- a Balkan republic in southeastern Europe
wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn
- Romania (formerly spelled Rumania or Roumania; Romanian: Romānia) is a country in southeastern Europe. It is bordered by Ukraine and Moldova in the northeast; Hungary in the west; Serbia and Bulgaria to the south along the Danube River. Romania has a stretch of sea coast on the Black Sea and the eastern and southern Carpathians mountains run through its center.

The need and motivation to conversate is very hard to find in a sentences like 'guys you know the capital of X'

I do so like a good old define once in a while. There was an interesting book I saw a while back about using google in all kinds of strange and wonderful ways, did anyone read it?

Well thats been made obvious by the literal minded ****tards who neg repped me for this thread. Did it ever occur that maybe I wanted to promote some discussion about how maybe some of the login questions are a little silly? (especially the ones where you cant answer them because the text overruns the boxes :eek: ) Or has your brain been turned to mush in recent years by an overeliance on 'googling' for you to actually lack the lateral thinking ability to realise this possibility? For **** sake, I thought people grew out of the 'ugggh your so stupid, use google' mentality sometime in 2002. If I'm asking a question that seems to be answerable by Google, I'm probably implying something else you spastics.
btw: Not aimed at pig or Dante, who actually injected something reasonably funny/interesting into the thread.

Dude I found out that Planetarion is for spastics ages before this login question system was introduced. Maybe you need to start working on your communication skills instead of believing everyone who isn't thinking in your same little mindset is a spastic.
Also, I agree with Deadmeat and Coolings.

I don't believe that everyone who isn't thinking in the 'same little mindset' (whatever that mindset is, please tell me, you seem to know) as myself is a spastic. I believe that a couple of people who suggest people are spastics due to what I believe to be a spazztactical reason, and are rude about it at the same time are spastics. Very different you see. Maybe you should work on your reading and interpretation skills before believing I believe everyone is a spastic.

Re: Can someone please tell me....
You know what, just start another great thread. You seem to be good at this implying other, deeper things while writing retarded one line sentences thing.
I'll retreat from this masterpiece.
