    Alamo-Girl used to have a super Newcomers Welcome Desk and Information Center. I've been on extended leave from FR. Is there still a place where newbies can go to get oriented, pick up some lingo, learn etiquette, get questions answered without getting flamed, etc.? My sister just registered, so I'm trying to help her out. Thanks!

  • Image expansion software for making huge freep posters

    12/13/2005 11:26:27 PM PST · by lqclamar · 7 replies · 391+ views
    Hello - I have a technical question for anybody who is good with computer software or images. I've read on several threads where people have posted links to image files with blown-up billboard size freep banners where you piece 8 or 10 pages of regular printer paper together to make a giant poster. A lot of these seem to go into PDF files. Here's my question: I have some campaign logo files that are regular 1-page sized and want to make them where I can print them out into a banner or billboard size. Is there any special software or...

    <p>Thread URLs will change.</p> <p>Old links will be redirected to maintain bookmark compatibility. The new links will be more descriptive, offering the date of the article and perhaps a meaningful filename.</p> <p>The timestamps on threads will change to your computer's local time zone, but only if you have JavaScript enabled. Otherwise they will be in US/Eastern. Your FR preference will be ignored (and will be phased out in favor of browser-side time zone handling.) The beauty of this arrangement is that as long as your computer displays the time in your time zone, FR will "Do The Right Thing"(tm).</p>
  • The Free Republic Controversy

    10/05/2005 11:11:28 PM PDT · by John Robinson · 286 replies · 10,655+ views
    The Free Republic Controversy Money is often the center-point or at least the lead-pipe of any good controversy. This is perfectly illustrated in the battle of (or against) Free Republic. A number of the site's detractors have repeatedly "demonstrated" that Free Republic is bilking thousands from little old ladies in a Jimmy Bakker-esque scam. I will offer a counterpoint for thought.In this article I will attempt to justify some of that cost. Some? Despite popular conception, I am only an ancillary participant in the internal operations of the site, and therefore I simply do not know where every dollar is...

    My "New Posts To Me" thingy | Now | Me
    I like feeling wanted, but over the past several months I've noticed I'm getting pinged for things that I don't know (and unfortunately don't really care) about. The only ping list I remember signing up for is PJ's DUmmie FUnnies. Most of the other stuff is interesting, and it's nice to be invited into conversations, I'm just wondering if this is a common occurance with FReepers...or am I just odd? And really most of this stuff didn't start until I started with DUmmie FUnnies... or maybe that's the only time I really started noticing it. Any answers? Thanks

  • Left-handed women have higher risk of breast cancer

    Asian News International ^ | September 26,2005
    A new study published in the British Medical Journal, has revealed that left handed women are more at a risk of breast cancer. Researchers in the Netherlands examined the relation between handedness and incidence of breast cancer in over 12,000 healthy, middle aged women born between 1932 and 1941. Body measurements were taken and risk factors such as social and economic status, smoking habits, family history of breast cancer, and reproductive history were recorded. They found that left handed women were more than twice as likely to develop premenopausal breast cancer as non-left handed women. Adjusting for risk factors hardly...

    You can look at FreeRepublic by browsing the photos that have been posted with Google images. Just search for site:freerepublic.com Google image search site:freerepublic.comMaybe this old to some people but I thought it was an interesting way to get a visual retrospective of the site.
