In the late 1980s I recall seeing a small video by Disney on TV which included many animated Cartoon characters singing to the song "Blue moon" in which many of the characters were active together in scenes doing random events and the video either concluded or started with an animated heart beating.
However, Upon searching for information about this videos creation (such as name, creators, release date) I wasn't able to uncover much. If possible, I would like to know when this video was created because I believe it was created much earlier than the 80s. Also if possible, any other background information on the video would be greatly appreciated. I feel this video was a truly amazing piece done by Disney and it Fascinated me as a child and still intrigues me today even though my memory of it is starting to dull and the facts of the video's creation seems to be lost.
I am always hearing real estate agents say, "it's a great time to buy a house," and "it's a great time to sell a house." How can both be the case at the same time?
Several years ago I read a humorous passage, in I think a magazine or newspaper, that portrayed cars as alive, and humans as some sort of machine that help the cars survive and function. Anyone know of the original source?
There is a porn movie that shows a woman has 2 dicks in the ass and 2 in the pussy at the same time, so 4 guys at the same time, or this is impossible to do???
This mite be a creation of an idle sick mind. Women of the west have become objects of sexual gratification. Thats what the porn movies depict not feminity but repulsive content which eludes the mind of a sick man.
That mite be your opinion. The rationale to decide in the context of sex is unlimited. Every individual will undoubtedly support at any age an irresponsible career in porn industry. Blocking such websites does add a lot of benefits, it doesnt block the mind with that sort of dirt. Freedom is simply abused. Kjvenus 09:45, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
Wow this has gotten off subject, but I'll stir the pot a little by saying that taking away crtain freedoms so that the can't be abused leads down a far darker road then keeping them. Also, how does one define what is and isn't an abuse of freedoms in the first place? Anyway, my opinionis that it is possible if one of the men has good hip and back flexibility. -- T H L CCD 10:32, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

can you name that song? it was on commercials for GE around 2000
P.S. its not a work safe video sorry Anchoress
Sigh, now I have to do a science fair project on decision making instead. How can I 'measure' the decision making process? Survey? Test? Seems so simple yet so vague.

greetings, trying to assist estate "clean up". found one safe (safety) deposit box key in deceased's possesions. so far there is no indication of the institution, no bill for the box rental, no notice of box rental fee waiver, etc.
we have been seeking a visual chart of keys used for safe deposit boxes with info on manufacturer that might be used to initiate inquiries with local banking institutions as to which banks use X company's safe deposit boxes. it is not that bad running in and out of bank branches, but finding the correct person to address the explanation and inquiry to is not fun.

Hello viteh,
As I was looking online for other encyclopedias, I found this one 'encyclopedia dramatica'. And it appears to be a parody of other serious sites (including wikipedia) and in several of it's articles it refeers in a pejorative way about wikipedia. My question is: Why do you have a deleted/protected article about said encyclopedia and what's the connection between wikipedia and dramatica.
Thank you, Santiago.
I'm a decent hacker, but I've always wondered about the other side. Resistors, capacitors, that sort of thing. Specifically, I want to know about RFIDs and imaging chips, like the kind they have in digital cameras (I want to make my own infrared camera).
How might I go about learning more about these sorts of things? What would I need to work with them? -- Abnerian 10:12, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
I hear references to to "Willy on Wheels" (apparently a vandal) all the time? I checked User:Willy on Wheels and found a permanantley blocked user.who is this person? Is he very important to Wikipedia history? Is this all some giant inside joke that I am unaware of? By the way, this might now be the right pace to ask this, but I could not find anywhere else.

I thought that there could be some list of passwords people use, just so that people could see how most people's passwords look like, if they are curious. The problem is that the collecting of the passwords should destroy all traces of the people's identities, so that the passwords would be useless to the readers of the list, and no one's privacy would actually be compromised. The list collector, and the readers, not knowing which passwords belong to whom is not enough - the people themselves who give their passwords must have complete certainty no other person is going to know that the passwords they give belong to them. This would exclude sending a computer form (IP addresses could be traced), and writing them on pieces of paper (handwriting could be recognised). Is there any real foolproof way? JIP | Talk 11:09, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
Well, I know a bit about how most people choose passwords, and it appears to me that most people will choose a dictionary word (or a sports team, keep a sports team wordlist handy), and a number at the end of it, like "steelers7", or "flourish9". Read Stealing The Network: How To Own the Box. -- Abnerian 11:22, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
I have no idea why anyone would willingly contribute to such a list, particularly as the prime use of it would be to illegally hack someone, potentially the person who contributed in the first place. -- Dweller 15:06, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
Shouldn't this be moved over to the Computing Desk, where there might be people who know what they are talking about? Password dictionaries are used all the time for Linux and Unix systems, to check security. They actually check against the encrypted hash, and come up with the hits. There are tons on papers on this. -- Zeizmic 15:55, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
Or you could just ask people who work on an IT helpdesk. Even though (in most instances) they aren't supposed to tell you their password, people still do! -- Chuq 02:44, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
Here's a big list of common passwords, which is what it sounds like you're looking for:
