  1. Why would dead students need an interpreter ?
  2. Just shout the magic cow begone word: Mac Donalds
  3. Most (if not all) GPSr require initialising if moved more than 400 mls since last turned off. You don't mention what model of GPS you own so I can't help you with any specific instructions. Look for a menu item that says "Setup' or similar. Then look for "Initialise" or similar. You will find a location that asks for your present location or to move the cursor over the area where you are. It may also ask for the local time. This information will help lyour GPS to look for any satelites that will be over the area at that specific time. The alternative is to leave your GPS turned on in a clear-sky area and then go away for a coffee (or something). Your GPS will start searching for sats. from cold and will need to locate at least 3 or 4 before it can work out where it is. This can take quite some time, see your owners book for advise. Don't take any notice of any advice to hold your GPS upside down when in Australia. That's only required if you take a GPS that you bought in Australia back to the Northern Hemisphere. Also ignore any advise about koalas and kangaroos being a danger in the streets of major cities. There are't any since the drought forced the blue ringed octopuss and the hoop snakes out of the bush and into town looking for water
  4. Statistics show that 95% of all heroin users ate or have eaten French Fries....therefore.... If you eat or have eaten French Fries, you have a proclivity to heroin use....! What a load !!!! Especially the part about "EVERYONE".... Typical Psychobabel.... Sorry, but it is....... NO! It's true! Statistics show that: a. 98.9% of people who die in air crashes had peas and/or carrots within 52 weeks of their demise, so if you're going OS, plan your menu and leave out peas AND carrots b. There has never been 2 or more bombs involved in the hijack of any type of transport. Just take your own bomb with you and you'll be safe c. 76.98% of all statistics quoted in general conversation are made up on the spot! PS - I don't really suggest you take your own bomb with you - Honest, Officer, I was just joking! Oh, look, there's Jack, say Hi.......
  5. Try "http://geocaching.com.au/". Like it says "Free and Open Geocaching"
  6. This is a setting in GSAK, not something to do with the website. How are you trying to access the web page thru GSAK? By double-clicking the listing? If so, in GSAK click TOOLS>OPTIONS and look on the GENERAL tab. The first item will be DEFAULT ACTION WHEN YOU DOUBLE CLICK A WAYPOINT NAME. Check how that is set. I have set the double click setting to send co-ordinates to OziExplorer which then starts and indicates the site on the appropriate map (always has). The problem appears when I right click on a site in GSAK then choose "Open Waypoint URL". This used to go to GC and open the appropriate listing. Now it goes to MapQuest and shows the cache site on a crummy map. If I wanted to look at a map, all I have to do is double click on a site and see it on OziExplorer. I don't think the problem is at my end. I suspect that GC has changed its input procedure to go to MapQuest with co-ordinates instead of going to the appropriate GCxxxxx listing.
  7. G'day, I haven't been caching for a while, but when I started again (today), I found some weird things happening. The main thing is that when I attempt to access a cache listing via GSAK, I end up with a map page on MapQuest and not the cache listing on GC! I haven't (knowingly) changed anything on my computer ("If It Ain't Broke, Don't Fix It" principal). Has this happened to anyone else or is it just me?

    Actually, he first called it "Alumium", before deciding to change it 4 years later. I knew that! It's just that I've got one of those keyboards that print what I type instead of what I mean!

    No, you should ask "How do you SAY aluminium?" Like this maybe? A-LOOMY-NUMB? I prefer the correct version. How about PLUTONIUM or URANIUM? To be pedantic, the discoverer of "aluminium" originally called it "aluminum" (which is what Americans call it). He later renamed it "aluminium" (which is what the rest of the world call it). If you want to be picky, ask why "leiutenant" is pronounced "loo-tenant" instead of "lef-tenant"?
