well hello, two months later I notice that this was actually re-opened three years after it died.... whoops

edit: looks like i was in a phase of "i'll do this" and never doing it while this topic was open.. luckily drugs pulled me far out of that stage and into the world of being a business owner who does stuff

Doesn't removing the CMOS battery for a good while and putting it back in fix that too?

I know it resets all user settings to default, BIOS password is just another user setting, correct?

But of course, I noticed mozilla switched to yahoo the other day....wasn't happy at all, but whatever, we're all being monitored anyways

Oh, of course it'll take a while for us to start anything up and it'll be well over a year of being clean at that point, @shadowwolf. I've got a lot of experience in business management actually, sure someone might not be able to manage their own life for shit but for some reason there's plenty of those people who can manage other people's lives. I don't know how to explain exactly what I'm trying to say, but organizing and compiling numbers and stuff for a business is completely unrelated to my personal life, and to me it's just "all in a day's work" to take a proper inventory and get set up for another day. Most of my work experience is in retail, advertising, and customer satisfaction, plus I have just under a year or management training from two different companies.

@proxx, I totally understand what you're saying, but yeah it depends largely on the area. I feel safe enough to go ahead and say that I live in North Dakota, United States. It's a pretty underdeveloped area technologically, hardly anyone lives here and the growing population is merely the oil boom workers moving in. Everyone here farms. They know what a GPS is, other than that the iPhone is the newest big thing. People are *constantly* asking me to fix their computers, bitching that they left it at "The Computer Store" (legit name of the company) for 3 weeks and paid $300 and it doesn't even work. They buy computers from walmart and shit and nothing works right on any of them. So they try to get a new computer online with their limited knowledge, and at least the computer works but it only takes a year for it to develop too many problems to be efficient at all. A physical computer store is by far in huge demand out here. I've only seen two shitty ones in Minot, I don't know of any in Bismarck, and there are none in Williston or Dickinson. I'm sure Fargo/Moorehead and Grand Forks have plenty though.

I'm at a pretty shitty point in life, pretty much lost everything except my family. Going into psychiatric treatment, probably lost my girlfriend for good (I'll know on that tomorrow), no more drugs for me.. This is one sad tweaker.

Anyways, my parents see that I've been kindof at a standstill in life regardless of all of this stuff, and they think that I would be a great business owner, and that's what would really get me far in life. So, they asked me what kind of business I'd like to run, and I said that in this economy and just the way things are in general, a computer store would be a great start. Not gonna charge hellish prices for fixing a computer, gonna build all of the computers in the store myself and make sure they're built WELL and they WORK, have brand new unlocked phones for sale, etc. Just be the most realistic computer store there is lol.

I'd love if I could have my own custom software installed on some of the computers, custom UI's or whatever other programs and services that could be useful. But I don't have the time or energy to learn coding on my own, I thought maybe if anyone here is interested, I'll pay for anything you come up with that I think would be a good addition. Currently the name will be of the company will be "Nerd Cave", if anyone has a better idea for that then shoot it at me. Later on I'll either expand the store or open other stores into different areas of business, particularly music and I'd love to own a tobacco/vape shop.

Thoughts, comments, concerns, etc.? Keep in mind, if this takes off it won't be for quite a while just yet.

A PS2 game, for PSP?

I guess the only flight simulator I played was one of the later Ace Combats for PS2. I enjoyed it and played it for a fair amount of time, but it was a vast, empty, quiet world to me.

I'm on this site every day, and for whatever reason this just now showed up in my "unread replies" thingy..

Send it to me any time, I'll check it out within the day I get it.

Suited is a bit more specific than suitable is.

To say that the property is suited for heuristic analysis would be to assume or imply that the property may have been build with that specific purpose in mind. To say that the property is suitable is to say that the property is able to be suited for heuristic analysis, but there's a chance some changes will need to be made.

Using 'applicable' in that context wouldn't make any logical sense.

As for the for/to statements, in that type of sentence I would use 'for'. Neither one is wrong though, they both make sense and nobody will question you. However if you want to get very specific, usually 'to' is used only when a an adjective or adverb is following. For example:

The property is suited for heuristic analysis.
The property is suited to his needs.

In context, you could replace the words "his needs" with "his use of heuristic analysis". I typed it the way that I did to more clearly show the point that I was making. Qualifying the statements by adding "than another property" is perfectly logical and would be entirely correct.

For the other question between applicability/suitability, applicability would make more sense, but both would be recognized and unquestioned. But I think there are better words that you could use, or maybe even just a better way of saying it. I'm having trouble of thinking of synonyms right now though, "usefulness" is the only word that comes to mind but even that really isn't much better.

However I do believe there are much better ways to say that. To say something like "I test this", or even if you used different words like "I check this", would be an incorrect form of participle in this context. To say that you test the applicability of the property would be to say that you do it often, say as if it's your job. So, if it's something you're currently doing or will do, then it would make more sense to say "I'm testing" or "I will test".

Given that I just changed both your verbs and direct object, you might as well change up those prepositional phrases as well to make it even easier to understand. The original "I test the applicability of a property for heuristic analysis" is just as correct, though it might linger in someones mind for a second longer (because 90% of people are stupid imo), and so it'd be better to just dumb it down some. Assuming you had a specific property in mind, you could actually make more sense by using the word I said no to, 'suitability', as long as you changed the entire rest of the sentence as I said.

I will test the suitability of this property for the use of heuristic analysis.

Obviously that's a lengthy sentence and would get in the way of a normal conversation, so here is where the use of English contractions and other forms of informal compressing become useful. Try it like this:

I'll test this property's suitability for heuristic analysis.

And there is how that sentence would be said in a normal conversation. Granted that you are from another culture, you might think that "informal" methods of compression like that are to be avoided in formal situations, but that's not what I mean by informal here. What I mean is that those rules or methods of compression aren't typically written or taught in length, they're just assumed when speaking. The only 'rule' that English culture has for formal speaking is to speak clearly and avoid all types of slang, which if you're a native English speaker, slang is very hard to avoid.
