Wordpress has two little buttons you check called: Anyone can register & Users must be registered and logged in to comment..........I set mine up so that only when you register, will I allow a user to post.
That problem solved, even with the site still being under work, I have had no problems what so ever.
Im sure it applies to most blog softwares, I dont know how Blogger works, but this seems to have solved my problem, so please dont state that blogs allow anyone to post, thats just not true man.
Have you guys seen that sp00ky ass TV commerical?
Man, I would be scared to let my son see that (its just up there with the one on the west coast that starts out something like 'You dont want your penis to fall off', for a STD commerical.
I bet their all "fuming mad".....hehe
But on the mark of stupid people, my high school had the same problem happen, it wasnt a reporter, it was a student, and most of the pwd finding was done thru social eng. or guessing, or being tempted to guess.
The main Admin was a math teacher, soon to be vice principal, and the netadmin was a senior who was a lazy slacker, and tempted the student to 'guess' the riddles (netadmin) had posted on the computer lab walls, how stupid is that? So, needless to say, alot of things were 'played' with, and by graduation the student was told by then vp, "I know you did it, I just cant prove it"............seriously, if we have this many stupid people, teachers not changing passwords, and admin that just go 'ok do it', then wtf are we bitching about?
Get non-stupid admin
Only allow non-stupid users
Thee end
A man with no vice, has no virtue...Ben Franklin
While the toothpick idea is a good one, it is just substituting one vice for another....
I shouldnt talk though, I have afew vices....
Ima go back to read/. now....
Seriously, yes you can wash a pillow, and if it gets ragged looking and weird shaped, go buy another one....its not like a major purchase like a car man, ITS A PILLOW!
As the soon-to-be wife of a IT Director for a billion some dollar company (and being the entire IT dept.) I understand afew times during the night of 'Honey, I will be back soon I have to go check email'. For him, its work, just in case the cell phone does not ring right away.
For non-IT work, I see alot of people waste massive ammounts of time playing online with IM and email. I have actually been bored with people that IM be just because they wanted to 'chat' during the work time.
For a cell phone when I was a manager for a rest. I had numerous people ring me up just to 'chat' and that lovely txt msg, so I started to ignore all calls that were not urgent (from another store, manager above me, etc).
I can understand people getting bored at work, but unless you work for a carnie, you really should work and not play around.
For myself, sometimes I work around the house (freelance) or I am busy actually working on the house with repairs. For certain reasons I leave my IM open, but randomly I will get msg's of 'hey whats up' or 'you havnt talked to me in awhile'..........and I close all these windows because they are of no 'urgent' response. I check my email about twice a day, once after my/. morning readings, and once in the evening, there are no popups for me and there are no 'urgent' things that you can not either call me up or you can knock on my front door. I guess that makes me an asshole for wanting to actually get my work complete, o well.
Just a thought, use your computer for what its meant (your work), inturn you get (your paycheck) and maybe who knows, you can retire early and play on AIM for the rest of your life.
Thats cool I can see that happen, but if I only knew you had that title as the server name, I would popin and ask if you meant it for this
http://www.car-art.net/70mach1_mustang.jpg:)
Many female sites I have been across are sexist, its a good reason I prefer to not join in on the bs.
We just need a "WE NEED TO KILL SOMETIME" server, and all just go plugin like you said.
I know, I can read, I seen the post (unsure if you posted on main page or where unaware of it).
I had the 'will make a page on domain' as a joke, sorry you didnt catch that.
As for your sarcasm, it was not needed.
I think I can manage to > google > girl gamers > find your pms site
IMHO, I did look at the site for about 30 minutes, I have no issues with any said member, but personal preference, would not join a clam with PMS in the title, I need not reminded of the crimson, nor need to define myself by it. Like I said before, I game to game, not to game and go 'O hey Im a chick'.
Good luck, the website design is nice too.
haha on the Holy Shit......
I agree with the one that stated "I think Microsoft is aiming for two things. First, is convincing those mom's to buy Xbox360 for Christmas. Spending $400+ on your son for Xmas sounds a bit extreme but if you convince the mom it's a family gift, it's not so bad."
But for the length in the post'........I do use the enter key, look its right
here
but sometimes even with massive space between, it still comes out looking like I dont know what the enter key is really for.
As a mom, Im lucky (I gamed alot when pregy) and his dad spent most all of the pregy time gaming (Why I refuse to play Metal of Honor) he was ready to be born into the gaming world. Now I am getting him his own first gaming system this coming Xmas, and it will not be Xbox, I just see him breaking that for some reason.......maybe b/c his parents are mostly all more for the PS.....anyways, any suggestions?
When I said the 'this is why..' I was thinking more along what someone else stating with the kid going 'well it can play our movies, etc'..........
I dont think any (possible online w/child using parents cc#) will allow in any state a child to purchase anything over like 100usd (Im pretty sure my state wont).
Most of the xbox games I played, like I said, I just really didnt like, I dont think it was anything against the xbox (even though I razz fiance for it being 'mircosoft') but Im all about the PS2.....
I went thru the Nintendo fan(girl) deal, and the Sega (just about all, I think we still have a dreamcast floating around here too), but its all about the PS now in my 'olden days'....now thining about Nintendo and the olden days, I really wanna play some QBert.....
The lying party is to blame and will be proscuted under the soon-to-be 'You are a lying jerk' law, coming to a state near you soon!
Y! will back up with 'We changed our rules so that they shouldnt lie when we ask their name'
The courts will wonder why (if their not thinking of it now) Y! did not go p0rn site route with
"Please type in your cc# here so we can verify your age" (you guys relize that a debit card works the same way, underage or not, right?)
Lots and Lots of things this will create, and Im sure/. will follow it (so we all know how it turns out).
People fear what they dont know, or dont understand, resulting in bad judgement and all the misery it brings with it.....
Everyone makes mistakes either at the time knowing or not, and in the end it always comes back to haunt them. The goverment did (IMHO) fuck up and screw over Kevin (weather deserving or not) thats a really shitty ammt. of time to be stuck in.
All the people that are bashing are either bored now and just want to stir the pot, or still living in the past and cant seem to get a grip on the present.
And if they cared, they would save/. bandwith & space for something more interesting than bashing.
Finally, I get to the end of the page and I see one person agrees with me on the parent control issue.
I thought I was all alone, and its true the internet is not a babysitter. I highly doubt that dafoomie was implying he/she would allow a 9 yr old on a p0rn site. Its more so that once most kids reach 'that age' they will be curious and they will at some point see something weather online or not.
I was a lucky one, I stated to mess with computers at an early age, but then I tired for awhile and stopped. By the time I was a teen I was online, in chat rooms and everything else (lots of geeky things). Being a female, I had my share of pervs online (What chick hasnt?), but I also had the smarts to trace who they were and report the abuse myself.
Alot of kids are not (so geeky) to be able to do the same. Many are naive at this age (I will just for giggles and shits sake, range 10-15) and do not really think 'this person is bad' when they are all 'la la o im chatting with this person and they are nice.....'.
Parents do need to take a KEY ROLE in the avalible content for their child, if not its just the same as giving a 5x over felon for childabuse the keys to your house and go 'I will be home at 9'.
WTF Why do I see SO MANY LAZY PARENTS, if anything besides trying to avoid being liable for possible future issues with an online perv harassing a online person, they are trying a step in the right direction.
Maybe someone like Shaq should show his big ole foot up your lazy parent asses before you relize its your issue too.
My parents were strict to a point (mother being the most)....I grew up abit before your time, but not much
I remember being in a neighborhood that we didnt have to lock our doors, now looking back over 20 years, part of my hometime is now crime city.
I think parents still worried about their kids back then, but now instead of 'just meeting a stranger in the park or on the way home from school', its the above + online + on a phone (IM via cell if your a teen with a phone), etc/etc/etc
People worry more, and sometimes (not so much this case particular) but the media feeds the worry, and that worry carries over to things like this, even to the most extreme (which is seems alot of people are freaking out over Y! putting age restricts. on a chat room, when there are many more dangers besides this).
Its the chat room and the parents that make the kids aware and safe, both parties need to own up to it.
How about repharsing to state:
If a person is chatting (via YIM) are they punishable?
What happens to the childrean caught lying about their age?
What happens to Yahoo when they first child is found by a perv and molested and possibly killed?
Lots of questions to ask here..
Do you really think a perv is going to answer a registeration agreement with 'yes I am a sicko bastard who preys upon the underage'?
Seriously, the steps should have been taken sooner, and yes its still a parents job to pay attention to what the child is doing on the computer, and no not all kids will tell the truth. Yes they will still find ways to get around age restricts, but its better than nothing, right?
Its more than a one person battle (parent), the company (chat company) needs to take precautions as well as the parents of the child, and a well educated child is better than one that has no idea what bad things can infact happen to someone online, regardless of age.
I am a parent, and between myself/fiance and his father, my son will know the dangers of the net as well as precautions to take to avoid anything as I have unfortunatly read about in the papers. There is no reason why a child should not be made aware of the dangers.
Maybe we need to stop bullshitting about what is done to try and help now, and maybe put some effort in ourselves. If there were actual mod's in these channels (and yes I know alot of people are strict to talk only in pm's) we could weed out some of the sickos.
And the kids will go, but smart parents will still try and protect their child, online or off.
I seriously do not think Yahoo (or any chat for that matter) suggested 'lets have a site where kids can be prey upon' when they started the chat, its something that occured b/c there are sick people in the world, but the educated ones (like ourselves) need to take some measures to even it out, so our children are smart enough to not give out personal information, to not just trust someone (even if known for months), just as simple: Be cautious.
Another opt. if everything flakes on nix for IM's (for me, I dont know how many others can do this, pending they have the space).....this household is full of computers, our (shared office w/fiance, another huge geek) is our office that is 22' X 15', once installed we will have two desks like this
http://pengi.org/img001.jpg And make them back to back T shaped instead....with plenty of room for more than one computer. Right now I have a KVM switch between the dead suse (vid card) and the windows box, so I can flip between the two. Both mine are play toys, but when I am doing anything useful (freelance something or another) Im using windows, nix is just a play toy til abit down the road. He has two monitors and two towers (one for linux for his business server, another for personal use) and a lil bigger desk.
Who knows, just be all 'yeah honey, we need to add on to the house b/c I need more computer room since we cant get good IM with linux' lofl
http://linux.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/10/12/ 1354254&tid=215&tid=106
LU's still use IM, see:)
I have used (for aim only) kopete on my suse box, but it seemed to flake out when right before my video card died, so right now, Im back on windows. Alot of people I know prefer gaim, but Im still willing to give kopete another try once I get a new card.
No Im not too much for the sports games, once in awhile hockey or football, but rare.
http://www.pengi.org/ps2/chix/ Is what is currently being played (Champions: Return to Arms).
We have both ps and xbox, but I prefer the ps (tend to like more games they put out), and the xbox is kinda flakey for us, we need another one I think. I prefer the ps controllers too (their just abit more comfy for me).
Your right, their not the target, but alot of mothers (fathers too) will go out and purchase a gaming system for their kid, so they are (company sided) right to target who actually purchases it. If a company can talk a parent into 'this is why its good to get for your kid', imagine all the parents rushing out to fight with other parents around xmas time to get a gaming system.
And your right, it is about the games, so lets all be happy and GO KILL SOMETHING.:)
