The group is Handruin, Tannin, P5_133XL, Flagreen, Clocker, Adcadet, Groltz, Pradeep, time, James, NRG, CougTek, and myself. Anyone there you don't think trustworthy? Originally Davin was part of our group. James replaced him. That was at a time when there were almost no formal rules here...

I'll admit I didn't try to follow along with Flagreen and Jake's recent exchange. This is an argument for more mods, I suppose. I just couldn't read many of the things that were being written given other things going on. When any post is edited, I think the BBS makes an indcation of it with...

"Mozilla Nazis?" I prefer to think of Mozilla Use as the result of good breeding.

There are formal guidelines in place. There are a number of very trustworthy individuals acting in oversight of moderation. There is a point where you're just going to have to trust that the right thing is being done. Most of the folks in the admins group can't see us in the mods group, anyway...

By the moderator guidelines, no editorial action to a post can be made with out 1.) the original copy is copied to the moderators forum. 2.) A notation is made in the remnant of the original post indicating the content of the material that required editorial action. Look at the single...

I'm normally the type who comes home, turns a stereo on and does not shut it off until it's time to sleep. Lately I haven't listened to much of my music, though. I've been listening to some of the music Amy has always liked. I have a bit of a hard time understanding pop vocals, but I'm...

Moderators are in charge of moderation. The admin team discusses the occasional policy issue. Probably 80% of the days SF has been operating, there have been no posts inside the admin group at all. We did a lot of initial planning and as such there isn't tons to do. And yes, most of the time...

Of course we are in part to blame. None of us devotes full time and attention to SR, obviously. It is frustrating, though. Some of the knowledge that was taken for granted on SR is just not there any more.

Yes. I'm painfully aware of that possibility.

Bill: Yes, within the limits of her taking responsibility for her health and well-being, and being honest with me about her actions. Of course, I trust her enough to not do that, too. And the issue is now apparently moot. Love is a great many things to different people, I guess.

That's the gist of the situation. As for unexplored curiousity, the best analysis I've had so far is that certain aspects of my personality make/made the experience of being with me as close to fulfilling as they could be for her. Read into that what you will. Several close friends of mine are...

She feels extremely guilty. There's nothing to be done about it, really. Her perspective is that she's in a relationship that is everything she wants... except for the little matter of my gender. She has expressed concern that she might be throwing away her chance at happiness, but at the same...

Um, it's an odd situation. I'm the first to admit that. But yes, she would stay, if that's what I wanted. And I would. Our friendship is exceedingly important to both of us and so is the support we've provided each other for our entire lives. I'll say, too, that there is a DISGUSTING lack of...

Tannin states, above, that in the absence of any tangible reward, any human behavior can be extinguished. Firstly, I don't think that's the case - probably everyone here has heard of cases here a parent has refused medical treatment for an easily-curable disease for a dying child. Secondly, a...

I went to a big charity function last night; met several folks who share Amy's current lifestyle. None of them, out of nine, had heard of a supportive "ex." Apparently I'm supposed to turn into a horse's ass and give my ex-girlfriend all the more reason to change. I haven't done that and...

Well, Amy couldn't be pregnant (yes, I'm sure). Suicidal? Not that either. She's actually getting better a lot faster than I am (got some response from online personals I encouraged her to do) Me as a "fall back plan"... er, not really. Maybe a little. But more as a shoulder to cry on and a...

Abit makes a board like that. Of course, everything else under the sun is also integrated on it and it only has 3 PCI slots and no serial/parallel but I guess that's the price you pay.

It's flagreen. And my hand is nowhere near the "IP" button, so don't start that again. For some reason, the Mirror's location is flagreen-esque.

I really can't do that, PW. When all is said and done for me, I'm the one with an income and a (mostly) low-stress life, not to mention a whole bunch of people who'll say "poor bastard, no wonder he never leaves his apartment". Amy gets a choice (sort of) in pursuing her path, but no input in...

If I'm reading correctly it looks like an initiative to improve (market) their drivers better. Note the line in the FAQ about 8 - 10 updates a year, as well as supposed improved customer feedback system.

I don't drink but right now I think I could be tempted. The thing is... in order for me to get through the day I have to basically wrap my mind around the finality of what's happened. I'm trying very hard to be friends (I try to look and see a sister) and be supporting of my ex but for her...

I'm allergic to a lot of plants so I think when I get my own apartment I'm going to just buy TONS of fake trees and ferns and stuff. It'll be like living in a jungle. Except for all the dusting. :) Your parents' backyard looks very similar to my parents'.

Computer Science. Minored in English Lit. Amy's also mad at me because I got a higher MCAT score than she did, though.

Bill, are you still friends with any of your "ex"-es?

Unless there's a reason to upgrade, don't. For 99% of interactions with the system, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Your machine is fine at 55C unless it's making the room uncomfortably warm or something, so give it a month or so and see what kind of additional value you can get for...

That must be some kind of physics class rule. I've saw that film in both high school and college physics and even had to do the same problems (uh, but using different methods for solution).

Two fingers from the river Lethe, good barkeep.

Some days are just harder than others. Mixed signals suck.

Fiercely.

Minimal web site for ex-girlfriend's stuff, that I'd like to look nice, 'cause I'm a perfectionist. Place for me to play and learn for the rest, Gary. timwhit: Regarding your discussion I can only say that you're both right. Access is a PITA but it does great for quick and dirty stuff.

Basically there's some code that needs to be run to determine that you're either a US-ian or have a valid business interest in the US before they'll let you have a site in that namespace. It's not a big deal. Like, without dealing with an Italian registrar, I don't think I can get a .IT domain.

I already know PHP. It's a great way to talk to MySQL. Prof - Needing to use a (software) wizard to do something is indicative of a gap in one's knowledge of that technology. Wizards can cover up things you can't do on your own, but then when there's a problem, you also don't know how to fix...

I've always been a hard case about doing everything in a text editor. Auto-generators tend to do thing behind your back. The other side of this is maybe it's not really worth learning. I change the extension of a word document to .html and it's a web page. Two sides of a coin, there.

Last time I did anything web-ish, HTML3 wasn't even spec yet (tables? What tables? OK. Maybe HTML2 wasn't out. Whatever. Nothing supported tables). I know things have changed vastly but other than getting databases to output nicely-formatting HTML search results, I haven't touched web...

You pay a registrar for a name. You pay a hosting provider for space and access to services. Usually the less-expensive registrars are teamed with an expensive hosting service. Registrars offer things like domain parking and email forwarding, but frankly you can do those things for free through...

I picked up a domain for myself and now I suppose I'll be needing a host of my own. Since it's "mine", I suppose I can justify actually paying a little more for service. So Handruin, what can you do for me? 10MB space and 100MB/month is, I'm guessing, a good initial estimate. I *do* want mail...

I just registered mercutio.us (I could've taken mercutio.sr, too, BTW) on dotster.com. Mostly because I already have an account there. $28 for two years' registration is a pretty good deal to me. I'm just getting ready to go talk to Handruin about the rest.

You don't know snow until you have fields full of snow fences in which to build your forts. But better than snowdays were the great thunderstorms (and yes, the excitement of a tornado) rolling through the farmland. Central Illinois might not big "big sky country" but it certainly was big...

OK, I'll bite: My name is Mercutio I need a nap.

My ISP doesn't do webspace. Which is OK, 'cause they don't care about my multilink connection or near-constant online activity. I have some other accounts scattered around but nothing I can ethically use for this.

I've dealt with several different high-dollar hosting providers at diferent times. They all kind-of melt together. Except internap. They were just evil. Yeah, I think maybe I did recommend pair. Maybe I'll pick up a cheap plan for myself and just run her stuff out of my space... I've GOT to...

It's just going to be some images from my ex's Relay for Life (ACS benefit) experience. I'm planning to go as the cameraman but the idea is to throw the images online as the event takes place. Anyway, the anticipated demand at first will be for the X-number of MBs of images by the team members...

I'd second that one, too.

If I may, I'd also suggest that perhaps a non-US resident get the nod this time. I'm up entirely too often during the middle of the Aussie day but keeping miscreants like James at bay probably requires someone who *isn't* being deprived of sleep to do it. time? Pradeep? Jake?

Anyone have any experience with *small* domain-parking/web hosting services? I'm looking for a really low-volume application. Probably under 100MB monthly bandwidth; basically just enough to park a domain and a bunch of images (2MB or so) for some people. POP forwarding would be cool, too...

My real name is Sam. The result of a family tradition, there are six or seven "Sams" in my family already so through my life I've mostly been known by nicknames. The nickname I like best is the one I selected for myself. Besides, it's probably a bit more appropriate here than the ones others...

During my childhood I remember a cold autumn night when my father got a phone call, then rushed out the door in his dress white Navy uniform. He came back with tears streaming down his face many hours later - having been summoned to deliver the US flag and a note of condolence to the family of...

Not all of us. I make every effort to be genuine with everyone. Many people find that off-putting. But I'm pretty sure I'm real and not a figment (a better phrase than sock puppet for the rest of the schizophrenics here) of jtr. Although if I am a figment I could use some creative re-writes...

Given that Moz and Opera both scroll, it's entirely possible that scrolling is the "correct" behavior.
