  1. Wait a minute, G4 is behind that? I thought it was the crab people..... BH
  2. Well, to paraphrase on of my favorite shows: CONFIRMED (at least in my mind) I wish I could prove it, Slashdot would have a ball Oh well, I have the strength to accept those things I cannot change. Thanks for all the inside info everybody! BH
  3. How many MisFae's would it take to screw in a lightbulb? 13, 1 to do it and 12 to ban people on the net who were talking about it. BH
  4. Yes, I have to say the stuff they pulled over there has worked out well for me too. This place has a whole different feel, low stress, with a lot less chance of getting flamed or having your spelling corrected... A good analogy might be that G4 boards is like a Jr high lunchroom, and Besttechie is the teachers lounge... BH
  5. I have been downloading TWIT and I noticed an issue with bittorrent. When the download completes, I just close the app out of reflex. Now that didn't seem fair for me not to seed for a while. So, I got to thinking about setting up my machine to seed at night. Is there a way to run bittorrent so that it is just seeding in the background. The scripting and the Cron job aren't an issue, I know that part. I am just a bittorrent noob. TIA, BH
  6. Granted, it sounds weird. But if the Mods really don't want the trolls, it would be very easy to stop them. Just match the IP's using a script and you are finished. Even the number of troll posts getting locked seems to be going down. The benefit they get out of letting the trolls roll on is the total volume of the site. Since sites have to attain a critical mass of posting to make the forums interesting, it is an easy way to prop up the numbers. Maybe they need to prop up the numbers to justify the admins. Now if they had any smarts, they would do it by injecting useful content, lik
  7. Reminds me of a bumersticker I saw: Vegitarian - Primitive word for a poor hunter. You should forward this to Air America... BH
  8. Unless we can get a former mod to let us in on the secret or plant a ringer....There are always ways... BH
  9. Nice, are you going to leave it up for a while or should I copy it down? I also need to take a python tutorial, can you suggest one? BH
  10. Not looting, profiteering. Looting is petty crime, profiteering is evil. The way I see it, stopping looting is less of a priority when you need to save lives. After all, it is just stuff. Profiteering leads to much worse, If it goes on I see fire bombing and murder close behind. The Senators and governers are freaking out about it, as they should. People that are desperate will do whatever it takes to remove themselves from danger. BH
  11. I have a conspiracy theory I would like to discuss. I have no evidence, but I haven't been able to talk my self out of the possibility. I started a thread yesterday, mostly being playful, volunteering to mod just for the purpose of hunting down and banning the trolls. I know they can do it, they outed WM when he changed his screen name. The reaction was quite chilly, and the thread got locked. Now I am not a genius or anything, but it got me thinking. Didn't they already get caught on the show for faking callers? And if they have used this ploy before, isn't there a chance that they d
  12. At what point does traffic volume change the rule that the left lane is the fast lane? When traffic has stopped, it always seems to be better to go to the right.
  13. Ill go one better, a few close friends I haven't seen in a while, ribs, chicken, tater salad, and a big screen. Won't be drinkin' out of respect for a close friend who is recovering. Won't be drivin' for obvious reasons... BH
  14. Granted, but it has been floating in sewage. I wish I could speed up and slow down time.
  15. I used to have this need, I am able to overcome it most of the time. Wanting to stay married will do that to a guy... BH
