    Hey FUD Boy

    > First they were banning child avatars.

    False

    > banning avatars that were adults but could possibly be perceived as underage (i.e. anyone under 6' tall)

    False. (but they will suspend you if they have reason to think you are under 18)

    > Then linden labs started required age verification (credit card, etc) to enter into "adult" areas of the world

    1. age verification was never required. 2. It was never used. 3. it was to be up to the "owners" of the property to allow verified or non-verified users.

    > Pedo-hysteria was running wild throughout SL

    Pedo-hysteria was running wild in the Media more so in SL

    > and then they banned gambling.

    That was the governments doing.. You could cash out RL money, so the credit card companies would be put at risk if they dealt with SL

  2. Re:VIBRATORS, BUTT PLUGS, and DILDOS...Oh my!! on You Have Been 'Randomly' Selected? · · Score: 1

    Oh your soooooo mean. I guess I'd have to check out each and every one of them for explosives.

    Dude really trust me... even 10 cases of dildos, lovedolls, penis pumps are not a big deal. Hell they even mentioned it in training. I had to freaking dig around in dirty underware and you think a few dildos would embarrass me?

  3. Selected is selected random is random on You Have Been 'Randomly' Selected? · · Score: 4, Informative

    EX TSA here

    If you buy a one way ticket, you were not randomly selected, If you buy your ticket at the last moment you were not randomly selected. If you did one of the many unknown "bad" things you were not randomly selected.

    The airlines ticketing system is set up to flag certain actions, and prints out that line of SSSSSSS on your ticket and you get extra screening... nothing random about it.

    Random screening happens when the screener at the walk through metal detector sees that one of the people running the hand held detectors are not searching anyone so whoever is next is sent that way. Or when the screener searching bags out of the X-Ray machine finishes a bag, they just grab the next bag out of the machine and search that.

    So random in this case comes from just keeping the screeners busy.

    Damn dummy passangers.

    I worked at a freaking tiny airport and saw sex toys a couple times a month doing searches, It's really no big deal. Hell I'd take my time dealing with jackass passangers like you.. Hope you came to the airport early.

  5. Who is Zap? on ZAP Smart Car Approved for Sale in the US · · Score: 1

    I was under the impression that Daimler-Benz was going to import them to the US sometime around the summer of 05. Starting with the forfour followed by a new SUV version.... UGH.

    Me I'm waiting for the roadster-coupe version to replace my trusty 85 CRX. (If they fit a proper manual transmission)

  6. WOW on Cheap Cell-Phone Detector · · Score: 1

    "works by picking up the bursts of radio frequency activity"

    Wow they invented the radio receiver.

  7. Re:For how long... on Gentlemen, Hack Your Engines! · · Score: 1

    Who cares?

    When something breaks you fix it, or better yet replace it with a stronger part.

    It's not for people who are afraid of getting their hands dirty.

    Bogus augument.

    I had to set up windows for her too. Hell I had to reinstall windows on many many friends computers too.

    Oh and my dad took his laptop to best buy and had them install XP for him.

    Normal people dont install windows, I guess windows is not ready for the desktop. :-)

  10. Re:She DOES! on Moms Go Linux, And Other Windependence Winners · · Score: 1

    So does mine :-)

    No real problems to speak of.. I Just told the "K" is like the windows start button, and it's not windows so some things wont act the way she is used to.

    I get more questions on how some websites work (Yahoo mail took a while to sink in) than how the OS works.

  11. Doctored pic on Hubble Snaps Pix Of Dying Supernova · · Score: 1

    "Colors highlight parts of the debris where chemical elements are glowing. The dark blue fragments, for example, are richest in oxygen. The red material is rich in sulfur. Green areas were originally recorded as orange-red but recolored to visually separate them."

    Anyway... anyone know where to get wallpaper sized hubble pics? That would look cool on my desktop :-)

  12. Try these on CAE Tools for Car Performance Modifications? · · Score: 1

    If your interested in a drag racing vehicles try the programs from RSA, 2 1/4 mile sims, 2 dyno sims, a 4 link suspension sim, and others.

    For 2 stroke applications there is TSR (google cache, the site is not working)

    This site offers several suspension programs.

    Here is a program/cable for a palm that's a data logger (works with OBD II and 90-95 DSM's).

    But the truth of the matter all the software in the world is not worth the value of plain ol' testing and experience. If the factory raced the model car that you have see if there is a factory racing manual for it out there. It might be all you need. Along with Carroll Smith's books (A must have for any type of racing IMHO)

  13. Re:$75.95 != Free on StarOffice 6.0 · · Score: 1

    I don't think you get it.

    StarOffice is not for us geeks, openoffice.org is. geeks are happy with user to user support and often prefer it. We wont/dont like to use manufacturer support and if we do the odds are we try to get past the first level support ASAP.

    The Star Office user doesn't want to RTFM, use news/email list/IRC support or google an answer they want to call Sun up and have them tell him/her how to fix it. (and the first level support are pretty good at that)
