I'm somewhat conflicted about the registry. On the one hand, it prevents the practice of scattering configuration files through all corners of a hierarchical filesystem... on the other hand, it does this by telling people to scatter configuration data through all corners of a hierarchical.. non.. file.. thing.
While the problem of configuration is not solved by the registry, I think it's at least superior to/etc/bunchOfUnregulatedFiles ~/.shitloadsMoreOfUnregulatedFiles
Those were not shots. I just think (honestly) that the orc model I was referring to was a thousand times better, and still looked like shit, and that there's probably some mental block on people who don't see these primblobs as crap-looking, and that it's all an opinion.
But if you just don't feel right without a shot being fired because you feel oh-so discriminated against for your fur-lust, and can't handle a conversation where nobody bothers to insult you: you probably smell bad!
Now that I've watched the videos, I can only be left with the conclusion that people who like furry have some sort of illness where those sorts of primblobs are "masterworks".
Opinions are opinions, but of course mine is the only one that matters.
At work, so I can't watch youtube atm (I'll look when I get home), but a good texture will do wonders wear an untextured blob of prims (no matter how many) tends to look like crap. The best one I've seen was merely horrible. I do expect the new release (sculpted prims! yay!) will utterly invalidate that statement, though.
I expect I'm fur-racist in the sense that I pre-judge people who walk around wearing anthro the same way I expect from your comments you're penis-racist in the sense that you pre-judge people who walk around wearing penises.
I don't own a penis attachment, but I'm okay with being racist against fur. Even the hot ones.
meanwhile I may be extra un-blessed by having a fear of areas where I'm not allowed to say "ass" without fear.. A more technical and less statistical reason, if desired, is that the Pelvis spot seems ill-suited for most non-penis things since it does not interact well with animations which move the legs (such as sitting or dancing), the the sense of objects passing through each-other, getting covered up, etc.. to sometimes embarrassing effect. This may also be only "in my experience", but it's been a constant annoyance whenever I've tried to attach something to the pelvis, enough so that I'd guess "if penises weren't the point, they probably would be better suited to things which aren't penises"
I will also admit to completely having forgotten about tails, as I try not to think about that:)
You really take those moderations seriously? When something is modded: "Flamebait", it really means "moderator has a stick up his ass". I'll admit to posting in haste, but I won't admit to doing so for purposes of baiting a flame.
Your feeling a need to flame it is more a statement of your self than my post.
1) Avatars don't come with genitals, but there is a place for "Pelvis Attachments". It has other uses, but they are rare.
2) You could trick someone into accepting an animation under false pretenses, but clothing is strictly client-controlled.
3) There is underwear, it is optional. There is also underwear with genital-textures on it, for those who don't want to buy entire new skins just to try out a new vagina

I guess I should have clarified that while the student is definitely liable, I in no way meant to imply that students in schools, all schools, (public, private, home), should not be spending every minute of every day doing their damnedest to fuck with every aspect of the school. But it being your duty as a human to put epoxy in all the door locks does not mean you shouldn't be suspended for it when caught.
There is nothing about being able to use Google Earth to find your keys which implies by its very nature the ability for Google itself to find your keys, any more than the ability for Google Desktop to find your pr0n implies by its very nature the ability for Google itself to find your pr0n.
I want my home computer to be able to have disconnected local extensions enabling me to perform searches on things which Google itself doesn't consider relevant.
If I really wanted to, I could (right now!) go out to radioshack and get everything required to set up a Home Positioning System- like a GPS, but with less G. I could then interface the data from that with Google Earth using its existing extension mechanisms and- without Google knowing a thing about it get Google Earth to tell me where my keys are.
With a post like that, I can't help but wonder why Slashdot has labeled you a "freak", which I've never seen an explanation of, but assume means "has you listed as a foe".
You come into my house, I say "don't fuck with the computer." You fuck with the computer, I kick you out.
If anything, a public resource should be more tightly controlled. Should they fix their security issues? Yes. Should they kick out people who exploit the fact that they don't? Hell yes.
Malicious or no, you should not be touching the school computers anymore.

I've only heard one story of "I bought Vista", and I've heard it repeatedly, and I've witnessed it first-hand: My Boss bought a new laptop. It came with Vista. There was not one 3rd-party thing we were currently using which worked on the laptop. There were several Microsoft Products which did not work on the laptop. (read: everything that came pre-installed seemed to be working, nothing we had, and required (like Office and Visual Studio) worked.)
So he installed XP and everything works now.
Vista "sales" numbers are not an indicator of Vista's performance. I expect those numbers to dive when others follow Dell's lead and start offering XP again.
As I understand it from my googlings in the past, such various "this is so annoying and stupid that it doesn't support this!"-type missing features of X are actually part of the X protocol, but no one (NO ONE. Absolute zero. Not "almost nobody".) actually implements them.
I do not actually know the X protocol, or anything about X, really. Ever tried to read that thing? Maybe it's time to kill it bunches.
I was talking about your post, not the quote in it. I realize I'm overgeneralizing, but to me "changing the servers to ones owned by one of the interested parties" is an irregularity. Something being improper is a separate issue from how "regular" or "non-regular" it is. When people talk about "irregularities", they are generally talking about things which can raise an eyebrow, get them to look into things to see if there is any actual impropriety going on. As I said, usually not as general as I'm doing here, but to respond to: "I have detected something which, on the face of it, may be a sign of something a bit suspicious" with: "That is obviously not suspicious, because if it were, some sign of it would be detected" seems off.
Specifically: "...even if it DID happen, that it possibly could have or would have gone undetected."

Trains: the only form of mass transit!
All of which would of course remain true in a hypothetical future where cars can drive themselves, of course.
I expect that someday I'll understand people who go out of their way to take offense.
More to my own point: if the car's going to drive itself, why not take mass transit?

Why would anyone read an article? That's what editors are paid to do.
