There's an option to mod new users down, or there used to be. I cannot check on this PC as it only has IE7 installed and the slashcode is trying to be clever but it doesn't display the forms/rant
I give it 24 hours before someone mirrors the content.
I mean, it's not as if us 'pirates' are any good at duplication. We have no experience in it. We do not know how to upload links and files to a message board.
Pleased so far. All my dozen add-ons worked, although eBay's sidebar update has failed to download an icon, which I would have removed anyway.
Was shocked to see the tab positions. Lucky "Hide Caption T. Plus" had an option to put them back where they belong. Dunno why they've moved the home button either - all buttons belong together devs!
Now to try some of this newfangled HTML5 I've been reading about, heh.:)
Then you'll be needing to enter all your meta-data. After 20 minutes you'll be bored. The local chav might do it for a few quid, but with a rate of 96-98% perfect record entry, could you handle that many errors?
I'm not handing in my geek card. I earned it. It's mine.
I used to wear an open face helmet, with removeable chin guard, foam face protector and googles. The idea was to keep my warm breath off the clear plastic I looked through. Think motor-X style.
We had a similar problem on Direct Connect. Our channel was for sharing music that was only released on vinyl 15-20 years ago. Music where only 100 discs might have been pressed and some were selling for triple figures on eBay. It attracted a couple of hundred users.
Every single flipping day we have to remove users for trying to share kiddy porn. They even went to lengths in order to bypass our banning scripts. Sick bastards were probably cops too.
I played a throw-the-bomb-over-the-landscape game back in 1982. It was on my uncle's 'portable' computer, where portable meant the size of a suitcase. The screen was a massive 10cm and every pixel was green.
We have a clever one on our sporting forum. The troll has three facts, and they are real facts, that he spouts over and over and over. Sometimes the odd word is changed, but they are maninly copy 'n paste. One of these facts spans both world wars, when no competive sport, but it's still a fact you cannot argue with...
Of course, all the new users fall for it.
We let him have a thread to himself. It's a chance for the regulars to blow off some steam. He get ignored on other threads where he tries to hyjack. There is a bit of sport in baiting him and he's been doing it so long, he honestly thinks he's winning.
Banning is not an option when private browsing, dynamic IPs, and free throw-away email addresses are so easy to come by.
I want to shadow ban him - I do see this as the only option in beating the trolls. They still think they have a voice, which is why they are there.
I always ask them the same question back. None have ever provided me with their postcode (zipcode).
I beleive there are tax fraud issues in the UK, although no one has ever been able to explaing them to me. This is why we are asked in electrical shops.

It all sucks dog's balls.
Using the old D1 system is the only usable option.

Well done my new cat killing friend! One down, many to go!
Access DB. 30 minutes to write. No need to check.

Motorbikes -

No way perfect but better than a full helmet.
The integrated graphics on my HP notebook are plenty fast enough to play CIV5.
All these new HTML5 demos run at above 50fps. More than enough.
The HDMI port outputs full 1080p to my plasma TV.
A sibling poster is correct - no one really cares about how many FLOPS a GFX card can handle.

It only crashed once in that 8 minute video. I thought that was impressive considering IE used to crash during a reboot.
So many nightmares compressed into a single youtube video. What will he do next?
Probably earlier than that.

And most of those cameras are in shops and offices.

You yanks can't tell me there's no CCTV in the local 7-11, the gas station,

We have the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 in the UK. I'm surprised you don't have something similar. Cars, houses and bank accounts are taken.
Use the Consumer Credit Act to fight the likes of Global Debt Recovery AKA Tower Investigations. There are plenty of forums and letter templates.
Only costs a quid and the price of a stamp.
In fact only one in ten use Facebook.
And I'd hazzard a guess that the majority of them are under 25 years old.
Email is still a great tool.
Funny.
The best part of my ant farm is watching them take care of their dead. "Pile 'em high" seems to be their prefered method.
Yeah, but, those emails were almost childish in nature. Do people really format their emails like that in the professional world?
Were Anon clever enough to mimic his original sloppy writing style?
What about a metric shitload?
And I find it extremely hard to beleive that Google doesn't render the JS.
This isn't 1998...
You know those three guys are only 25mm tall? Freak lab experiment gone wrong, or something.
Nice touch but is that really in the spirit of nerdish geekyness?
We discussed getting married in our living room. The conversation ended with me saying: "So, shall we get married or not?"
We married 3 months later.
15 years on, still together with a lovely daughter.
I can't imagine popping-the-question, not really knowing the answer. Why would someone do that?
Romance died by strangulation..
hmm. I've been playing the game without the music and the volume way down low so as not to annoy the other half.
Have I missed something special?
OK, you did ask:
Mary Lykes
The Cockwell Inn
Tillet
Herts
UK
Or a variation of that. Google if you don't beleive me!
