[quote who="Island Dog" reply="12" id="3079514"]It's usable with a mouse as well, there's really no difference on the input method.[/quote] I caught that; just wasn't clear about my (outdated? primitive? stupid?) bias for (old-fashioned?) keyboards. Grabbing a mouse slows me down more often than not, but then I touch-type, often over 100wpm... Never thought to explore the long-password potential of whole sentences the way that Scoutdog suggested; those might
[quote who="Draakjacht" reply="41029" id="3079468"]banned for I fer none of those. And why is it token? I have a louquat tree. Turtles like the frut and I make preserves from it.[/quote] Banned because I'm the token fruit in this insane excuse for a thread. Or are you actually young enough not to have heard queer men called fruits? Banned again because all this fruit talk has made me forget the name of the uncommon citrus in my yard that's good for some old co
[quote who="PoSmedley" reply="32" id="3079454"]We should have sent him the Redneck Space Shuttle. That would have kept him entertained and out of here for months.[/quote] That thing could help out our poor, suffering Space Coast with a few tourist dollars. Given this so-called economy, there might even be enough shop space in the I-4 corridor to set up a business doing SST refits for trucks, wagons, & vans...
Banned for forgetting the ladies; those would have been self-opening flowers. Which really doesn't work with the flour-flower thing, now that I think a second...and risks uncomfortable digression into yeasty matters.
[quote who="Island Dog" reply="4" id="3078809"]The future is Win8[/quote] That was an interesting MSDN article, but the tech is of no use to those of us will little or no use for touch interfaces. Re the OP, I'm a serious civil libertarian and loathe the general trend we have towards being ever more documented and tracked by public and private information systems. But I've had a strong parallel sentiment to Brad's when I deal with online teaching. Som
Banned because a bunch of my students are making me have to crack the whip over some bloody basic instructions. Why is plain English of so little use these days?
Banned because I've no idea what you might mean by PCV other than PVC, and PVC makes no sense. If you're going to put them in a stiff cage, it should at least be a pretty metal or a practical material like Kevlar.
[quote who="DsRaider" reply="24" id="3077424"]I didn't really mean that there would be complete chaos where we murder each other, I just meant that in anarchy there wouldn't really be legally enforced human rights.[/quote] I admit that half my motive in that reply was to poke the Doc about the fact that all decisions are political. But the other half is a sincere effort to get more folks to understand the difference between the casual notion of anarchy and philosophic
[quote who="DsRaider" reply="19" id="3077381"]Time for Anarchy, but then there are no human rights at all....[/quote] As a former philosophical anarchist who was converted to small-d democracy, I have to call bullshit here. There's a major difference between anarchy and chaos, and that difference is respect for other people. The reason I left anarchy for democracy is that our species is still too inclined to use organized violence as a political tool. The reason I wish I could sti
[quote who="Zarnick" reply="5" id="3076728"]You can still rush-buy improvements[/quote] You can buy ships too, after you buy a Starport. I've used a 'useless' planet as a beach-head several times when some silly AI decided to declare war on me despite my having massive war-tech and econ advantages.
[quote who="Scoutdog" reply="40901" id="3076732"]Banned because there are actually more of them during cold and flu season (as the pharmacies like to call winter).[/quote] Banned for confusing drooling snot with picking boogers. Colds and flus make for runny discharge. Boogers are the year-round product of particulates hitting your sinuses.
Just another example of addle-pated software developers working to make sure the work that we put into learning their products has no lasting value. Change isn't bad, but change for the sake of change is bad.
Banned because all you have to do is ask someone who's eaten someone else. Except maybe for the folks who eat only brains; not sure if pork brains taste different than cow brains or sheep brains.
Banned because you don't want to encourage the token fag to get going about testy bits just because you want to hassle the asexual lad about chesty bits.
Banned because us North Florida folks are having a yo-yo winter. Last year, things were scary-cold. We had an astounding number of hours with below-freezing air temps. This year, many of us are hoping that the rich Yankees are watching the weather and thinking about quick trips down here so they can wallow in the semi-apocryphal Florida weather that helped fuel our economy back in the 20th. I've seen snow in my home town, this week or so plenty of folks are running around in short
Banned because even though I understand basic physics, I still can't really remember why a powered snow-thrower is mechanically different from a leaf-blower. People who live where water reliably turns solid on account of weather have always struck me as crazy...
[quote who="MadDeez" reply="20" id="3074571"]also, i have a UPS and hibernation isn't needed here.[/quote] My UPS died recently, but I've used them since the late '90s. They're irrelevant in why I use the sleep/suspend/hibernate/calm-down-and-wait-til-i'm-back features. Please explain why/how disabling the nap-time functionality is part of keeping a clean rig.
Banned because tearing a teddy off someone of any gender often means you need to quit thinking. If that weren't true, factory teddies wouldn't come in such a wide variety of sizes.
