i need to override it for serailizeForm Method.

So it's not a class is it? So it has no prototype. It just has properties which you can set as you wish.Ok basic question...how do i override serializeform ...that is all i need to know...

» Help with possibly bricked xbox (softmod)
I stupidly deleted my dash file via FTP so I just get the Service Required message on boot. The Xbox will boot directly to games so I'm hoping to just reinstall the linux profile through splinter cell. The Linux profile is on a memory card (or at least it was) plugged in to my controller, should Splinter Cell read the memory card saves as well as those on the hard drive? Splinter Cell doesn't show any saved games apart from if I save a profile in the game (basically not displaying Linux profile like I think it should be). It's possible the Linux profile is no longer on my memory card as it's been a while since I originally modded it, in which case I can sort that out.?????????????????? 1) this is the XBMC forums 2) on top of that this i...... - 2008-11-19

» What we'll lose with new Airpoints
As we all know, Airpoints is about to be relaunched (i.e. devalued again). Here is my guess as to what we will lose: UPGRADES: 1) Gold and Gold Elite complimentary upgrades reduced to Tasman and Pacific Express only. 2) Redemption long-haul upgrades reduced to Economy to Super Economy, and Super Economy to Premium only, i.e. no more Pacific Class to Business Class. STATUS CREDITS: Status credits on all other Star Alliance credits will be wiped out, just as Lufthansa has done, meaning that in effect only longhaul Air NZ travel will qualify flyers for silver or gold status. They will try to conceal this by offering irrelevent rubbish, like the current car and hotel upgrade vouchers which are unusable and worthless. Of cour...... - 2008-11-19

» Question to the Atheists about their opinion of the Bible?
On a scale of 1 to 10, how much wisdom do you think can be obtained from the Bible. 1 would be that the Bible is completely foolish, and 10 would be that the Bible is the best source of wisdom. I'm not talking about the church, or any religion. Just the Bible. Please state why you gave the rating you gave. I'm just curious.Ground rule - wisdom does not equate to common sense. A lot of what is said in the Bible is common sense and so you don't need wisdom to understand it. HOWEVER, many translations in the Bible have been proven to be inaccurate.

Any fast food restaurant, such as a McDonald's, Burger King, Dairy Queen, Jack-in-the-box, Del taco, and others. Or perhaps a job in a grocery store. Many malls have openings as well, though they aren't as flexible as fast food joints, but they pay a little better, depending.

» is HA in today's H1N1 a descendant of 1918 2nd wave ?
the next available HA-sequences from the 30s are rather distant from A/Brevig/1918, also no virulence as in the 2nd wave was seen after 1918. Maybe the virus achieved a new HA in the 3rd wave or recombined in HA ? Then the virus fell asleep in ~1949 and awakened in 1977 with a (semi-)pandemic. The other segments may well have arisen from Brevig/1918 , but HA from 1931 looks too much different IMO. So, what would have happened if the 2nd-wave HA had survived and no 3rd wave had appeared ? Could that virulent 2nd wave maybe have reappeared in 1919 and persisted for decades as did H3N2 ? May that happen with H5N1 ?

It would be fine to have the possibility to take pictures and then make a movie in the same camera, so while chasing, you don't have to waste your time to take 2 tripod, one for camera and the other one for video-camera. I was thinking to sell my D60 and buy the new D90. What do you think guys?Andrea, would not be a bad idea if your into using the same camera for both stills and video.....if you do sell your D60, let me know, I would be very interested. I currently shoot with the D80 and would like to find a decent back up.Andrea, remem...... - 2008-11-19
» Moat house frequent traveler?
I have an upcoming booking for Kensington Moat House. Is there a frequent traveler program for this chain? Any favorite restaurants in the Kensington/Knightsbridge area? Thanks.Well, my favourite restaurant is also a pub... The Grenadier. It's on Wilton Row and it is also reputed to be one of the most haunted pubs in all of England. However, if ghosts and goblins don't scare you, then do check out its food too! Spectacular! One downside - it's a smoke-filled pub and I'm not sure how it'd interrupt (or enhance) your dining experience.Thanks, I'll bring my hanky!!The Grenadier is indeed a great pub, also a favourite of Madonna and Guy Ritchie (her after concert party last year was held there). Best bloody mary's in town. There is a very...... - 2008-11-19
» Will Nike Legend's Stretch?
Looking to buy a pair of legends but they come in a size 12 and i usually wear a 12.5 comfortably, is there anyway i could stretch them out after i buy them? and also do the 7406's run small or large?I just got a pair of Legends in 9.5. I have not worn them for a game yet. I normally wear a 10.5 running shoe and 10 in other soccer shoes (indoor pumas, predator precisions, nike aztII, kappas). I have a pair of Diadora Baggio's that I have in 9.5 but are still too big even after I double up on socks. So I bought the Legends tight assuming that the Kangaroo leather will stretch like the diadoras did....that and I have a sneaking suspicion that double socks cause blisters on the bottom of my feet.always buy a size down from what you norm...... - 2008-11-19

» Free hotel? Really?????
There's a long thread about a computer glitch (presumably) allowing folks to book Hilton at a rate of zero dollars. Pardon me for being a lamb, but I can't imagine the hotel actually honoring the rate! I can see myself waltzing up to the desk, showing them my "$0.00" rate confirmation, and having the clerk quietly reach down under the counter and pulling out the "We take no responsibility for computer errors" sign. When I persist, she'll reach down again and push the button that summons the Brute Squad, and I'll find myself and my baggage at curbside, the confirmation fluttering in the wind. Do they REALLY honor these mistakes? Why?For a recent trip to London, I attempted to make an online reservation at a Forte/Le Meridien hotel. Desp...... - 2008-11-19

I came across this article today, thought you all care to see it. http://money.cnn.com/2004/09/22/pf/debt/airline_rewards/index.htm I am going to post this in the following forums, MilesBuzz, Delta, American Express & Visa.I think that most people realize the APR is pretty bad on these cards. And you dont earn many miles if the thing is maxed out ;-) However, if you use it like a debit card, the miles soon accumulate.Helps bolster the case (IMHO) for Diners Club, AMEX, and other non-specific points program where you earn points that can be transferred to many different programs.

» Over There Cancelled
FX's war drama "Over There" won't be redeployed for a second season, becoming a casualty of the same thing that causes most shows to be cancelled -- declining ratings. The cable network took the unusual step Tuesday (Nov. 1) of announcing it wouldn't pick up "Over There," about a squad of inexperienced soldiers in Iraq. Typically networks don't choose to draw attention to shows that are being cancelled. In explaining the cancellation FX chief John Landgraf takes pains to note that the "beautifully produced, acted, written and directed" show was axed solely due to the realities of the TV business, not for any creative reasons. "That decision was motivated entirely by 'Over There's' ratings performance and our belief that the number...... - 2008-11-19

It's not about Ron Paul, it's about what he stands up for. He's said this himself. For such a supporter, there is no choice but to vote for Ron Paul.

Hello everyone, My name is Yoshihara (middle name) and my sisters and I have been facing a dilemma for the past two weeks. Our mother, who was Okinawan, passed away a couple of weeks ago. We wanted very much to follow the customs of her homeland and provide a proper burial/ funeral for her.

» Question to the Atheists about their opinion of the Bible?
On a scale of 1 to 10, how much wisdom do you think can be obtained from the Bible. 1 would be that the Bible is completely foolish, and 10 would be that the Bible is the best source of wisdom. I'm not talking about the church, or any religion. Just the Bible. Please state why you gave the rating you gave. I'm just curious.Ground rule - wisdom does not equate to common sense. A lot of what is said in the Bible is common sense and so you don't need wisdom to understand it. HOWEVER, many translations in the Bible have been proven to be inaccurate. The only reason to falsify the Bible would be to push an agenda against minority groups. Most Christians accept the current versions of the Bible verbatim. They don't even both...... - 2008-11-19

» is HA in today's H1N1 a descendant of 1918 2nd wave ?
the next available HA-sequences from the 30s are rather distant from A/Brevig/1918, also no virulence as in the 2nd wave was seen after 1918. Maybe the virus achieved a new HA in the 3rd wave or recombined in HA ? Then the virus fell asleep in ~1949 and awakened in 1977 with a (semi-)pandemic. The other segments may well have arisen from Brevig/1918 , but HA from 1931 looks too much different IMO. So, what would have happened if the 2nd-wave HA had survived and no 3rd wave had appeared ? Could that virulent 2nd wave maybe have reappeared in 1919 and persisted for decades as did H3N2 ? May that happen with H5N1 ?

And you dont earn many miles if the thing is maxed out ;-) However, if you use it like a debit card, the miles soon accumulate.Helps bolster the case (IMHO) for Diners Club, AMEX, and other non-specific points program where you earn points that can be transferred to many different programs. In many cases, you are also required to pay off the entire balance each month.I came across this article today, thought you all care to see it. h...... - 2008-11-19

Hi, I'd like to pop up a window to display an image. However, I can't seem to find a way to size the width of the panel/window automatically based on the image size.

» mienu deshou
Hello :) I noticed this strange quote out of an anime theme song, and wondered what could it mean... Could you help me? –²‰“‚«–¾“ú‚Ì‚±‚Æ‚Í’N‚É‚àŒ©‚¦‚Ê‚Å‚µ‚傤B :okashii: This mienu sounds quite awkward to me... ‚¨Šè‚¢‚µ‚Ü‚· p.s.: it's u–‚–@Œ‚¢‚É‘åØ‚È‚±‚ÆvAs far as I'm aware, mienu simply means not visible. No one can see dreams that are so far distant, into tomorrow. The main reason I don't work on song translations. :cool:‚Ê is an old way of negating Japanese verbs. If you see it, it will either be in old text, or text trying to give a classical flair, and sometimes it will be ironic or sarcastic. The verb inflections are the same as if you were to negate them with ‚È‚¢, except you put ‚Ê in its place.‚Ê is an o...... - 2008-11-19
» AA headphone jacks?
I'm a newbie to AA and I just wanted to know what the standard headphone jacks are on AA's aircraft? (esp. MD-80's) Are they the regular single-jack 'walkman' type, or the more difficult two-prong style like on LH, AC etc? Thanks in advance!regular single-jack....MD80's don't have headphone jacks.Does anyone remeber reading somthing last year that they (AA) were going to put IFE into the MD80's?Regular headphone jacks, but the MD80s don't have inflight entertainment. Supposedly the pursers were told last year that AA was going to add entertainment systems to the MD80s, but I suspect that whatever plans they had to do this were canceled because of declining revenue, along with the more overhead bin space initiative. dYea, no IFE in the MD...... - 2008-11-19

» Over There Cancelled
FX's war drama "Over There" won't be redeployed for a second season, becoming a casualty of the same thing that causes most shows to be cancelled -- declining ratings. The cable network took the unusual step Tuesday (Nov. 1) of announcing it wouldn't pick up "Over There," about a squad of inexperienced soldiers in Iraq. Typically networks don't choose to draw attention to shows that are being cancelled. In explaining the cancellation FX chief John Landgraf takes pains to note that the "beautifully produced, acted, written and directed" show was axed solely due to the realities of the TV business, not for any creative reasons. "That decision was motivated entirely by 'Over There's' ratings performance and our belief that the number...... - 2008-11-19

» Would you want to stay in a hotel room you know Wilt Chamberlain occupied the night before?
It's probably just as dirty as most hotel rooms. Haven't you ever seen the dateline with the black light? There is semen EVERYWHERE! Not a single inch of the room is clean. Pee too. I like to stay at my house, where I know where the semen came from. lolNope, but how would I know unless the cleaning person or someone like that told me, or I saw him checking out. The idea of staying in any hotel room that someone else occupied would creep me out so I try not to think about it. You never know about that person's past or their disgusting, filthy habits. Virtually any room could have had someone with a very lurid sexual history occupying it. This is a tricky question because most people don't think about or realiz...... - 2008-11-19

Great script - thanks for all your efforts. I got version version 1.8.7 going fine, except for lots of amp-raquo and amp-hash-1234 stuff.

» Do you think McCain or Obama will get any Ron Paul voters?
As a big Ron Paul supporter, the choice between either McCain or Obama is a toss-up. Paul has not endorsed anyone, and I'm not supporting either major candidate until the debates begin (hopefully good debates). I hope that between now and the GOP convention, Paul and his supporters will raise enough hell to get their message out.In my opinion, a true Ron Paul supporter is someone who also understands and supports the ideas of liberty and limited government. It's not about Ron Paul, it's about what he stands up for. He's said this himself. For such a supporter, there is no choice but to vote for Ron Paul. The other two candidates do not stand for the same principles. Anyone who actually "gets" what Ron Paul is talkin...... - 2008-11-19

音に酔 I know the literal is 'drunk on sound', but that really doesn't fit well with the context, so I was thinking this could be a phrase I'm simply not familiar with.
