I suggest you head back over to dafont.com and give a proper thank you to User123 for the assist. It’s the exact font you were looking for.

Do they see mine?

No. Feel free to slander them. 👍

It's unfortunate... you have two options for saving as a PDF. One is "Save as" and the other is "Export".
If you haven't already, try using the remaining method (just make sure to select the Adobe PDF format)...

Even Corey says

"Interesting." (Using quotes—because if they were mostly vegetarians, it would be a different kind of /"normal"/ interesting).

Mark Cruz15 said:I'm asking, maybe you meant something else. Meaning Al Pacino likes to grope.

I don't know if he does or doesn't. I'm not claiming he seeks out those opportunities on purpose.
But it's practically a fact that he took advantage at least once ("took advantage of the crowd"). There's no debate there—he "prepared" himself for the grab—he looked to see exactly where his hand "needed" to go.

😲What exactly could be controversial here?

(Just leave out the "it can't be done any other way" bit and the "Al Pacino mastered the realistic scope in cases like those" stuff)

Heat (1995) - Al Pacino /r.1940/ & Natalie Portman /r.1981/

I don't know how much this place cares for "cinema trivia," but I find it interesting...
Sure, most people wouldn't think to look for anything out of the ordinary in that scene—but I'm not most people. 🙂

Here are a few slowdown "aids"...

Peter Reyes33 said:...I don't have those three little dots

Right, fine—but the actual facts missing from the post matter more. For instance, which version of Windows are we talking about? Windows XP, 7, 8, 10? Etc.

(Also, did those dots disappear in a way similar to this group -> ... dot?)

wiredviper19 said:...how does a single moderator get to decide they have the right to just lock threads because "they" deem them moronic?...

I'm sure they're on the NASA payroll...
...just like that crew mentioned in the thread, those NASA illustrators tasked with retouching original photos to look like the country in the NWO.
(attached below is one of the few shots that hasn't been doctored yet)...

rustydrifter10 said:I looked at part of the thread and there were indeed some crude posts.

You looked at PART of the thread? A thread that had nine posts total back then (and only five now)?

rustydrifter10 said:I asked the mods and the super-mod to take another look and edit what needs editing.

So, as a user with admin rights and access to all the Reddit tools, after your "personal inspection" of that thread, you requested someone else to review and fix things?
In this thread, while it was still like this?

Carol Price4 said:Garo, my mistake... I apologize.
I wanted to issue him a ban but ran into an issue... with the options...

So, you "wanted to issue a ban," but had an issue with the options...

It seems you still have issues with the options, as far as I can tell (March 12, 2015; 11:49 AM)...
Did you notify rustydrifter10 about this technical issue? If you did, what was the response?

----------

The title of this thread is "setting standards"—so the core issue here isn't just about the user who started it. It affects me too.

dustydrifter14 said:coppersailor28, you're acting like a general surveying the battlefield after the war is already over...

Rest assured, on topics like this, I have a full view of the entire situation—whether I'm actively participating or just observing.

dustydrifter14 said:I don't get your urge to go off-topic.

If anything here is off-topic, it’s only what follows: your attempt at trolling, which serves only to confirm everything I've already told you.

Your reasoning is purely subjective—and without further explanation, it seems completely illogical to anyone who actually knows how to navigate all the software you claim to own. ...

dustydrifter14 said:If someone wants to build a website in Word, that's their business.
Whether they struggle through it only to end up with something hideous—that's also their business.

You're wasting time analyzing why I need a specific program, which is entirely irrelevant.
Should we analyze why I still play vinyl records when MP3 players exist (even though I own those too)?

Look, I simply want this particular program because I like the green color in the bottom right corner of its logo.
😵

(don't be so stingy—it's not like you're using a bar of soap that needs to last forever)

dustydrifter14 said:The point isn't WHICH program I need, but WHY the computer is doing this and HOW to fix it.

Then why, once it was already resolved, did you write what you wrote? This:

1. There are plenty of reasons.
2. If you don't get it, just try using it. Maybe you'll figure it out if you're lucky.

If someone actually owns Corel, Adobe Photoshop, and Microsoft Office, then there isn't a single objective reason to use Adobe Photoshop specifically to "write text on images"...

Your reasoning is purely subjective—and without further explanation, it’s completely illogical to anyone who actually knows how to navigate the software suite you claim to own.

2. If you don't know why—just try it and see. Maybe you'll figure it out if you're lucky.

"Save your breath... if you don't know why—just try it and see. Maybe you'll figure it out if you're lucky."

(I assume it's clear, whether you try it or not, that someone who finds it easier to take something from their own pocket is hardly some genius who discovered a more efficient way to reach into their own wallet.)

William Bennett53 said:If the signature is an insult, you get the penalty card along with an immediate removal. You don't just take the card and then try to hold onto the signature as some kind of compensation. 😉

This one. The signature was removed by the moderators. In the ban corner—where you can't even link to those posts anyway—you explicitly stated that it was justified.

No, maybe we’re looking at some kind of... I am ready. Send the text.It’s Greek. You can't even see the signatures.

William Bennett53 said:Folks, we’re right in the thick of it now. Mid-election season.

Given everything mentioned above, the mods have been pressured to tighten the reins. Expect a flurry of bans over the next few days.

So, we're just deciding that a card is a right now? Like, if a signature breaks the rules, we just pretend it never happened? Fine. Whatever.
I don't care about the specifics of that signature. I'm looking at the "fate" of those cardboard signatures.

The Ban Corner — An appeal against moderator Fran Krsto Quote.

Locked in.

Yeah... but it's all being shouted into a void (at least within that specific thread over in the ban corner).

Just shut it down and leave it alone until tomorrow. Maybe it’ll "fix itself" overnight...
(either way, tomorrow is another day)

Try hitting the F8 key.
Shut down the laptop or just restart it. Once you see the manufacturer logo (Apple... whatever), tap the F8 key rapidly before anything from Windows actually loads.

William Rodriguez9 said:...just hit enter to get into the BIOS, I guess?

"I guess"? You didn't even hit enter to log into your account first?

Just set your preferred language settings once and be done with it. Let people read what they want without bothering you over every minor detail.

Give this a shot (it’s free, just watch out for those sneaky checkboxes during installation that try to bundle extra junk on you)...

Better yet, just head over to Google and search for something similar to the title in the link above (a snapshot of People Trying to Unlock your /PC/...). Find the one that actually fits your needs.

Bottom line: it can be done.

Michael Jackson10 said:That process isn't actually "taxing" your CPU; its whole job is to show you how much "processor capacity" is sitting idle and doing nothing. So, it's basically the exact opposite of a heavy load. Don't even sweat that one—just sort by percentage and watch the other entries. If you see something jumping up to 40% out of nowhere, that's usually where the trouble starts. That's your red flag for malware.
While you're at it, check your Task Manager startup tab. There’s probably a bunch of useless junk running there, especially since everything works fine in Safe Mode.
If you run into some shady little process like "hpui," you might find it won't let you kill it, or it just pops right back up after you end it. That’s exactly how malicious software behaves. When that happens, you need to figure out what's driving it. Usually, the move is to clean things up or delete files while in Safe Mode so the virus can't jump back up during a normal boot.

Cleaning out "junk files" from your hard drive won't actually speed things up. You were just clearing out stuff that takes up space, not stuff hogging your active RAM. You really need to dig into those processes and isolate the suspicious ones that are being extra active...

(deleted - missed that you already provided the explanation regarding why this is likely a process issue)
