Anyone know russian?
Looks like they linked to our thread on the hidden hard drive size. We got a lot of refferal traffic this month from them. Not only them, but quite a few sites from russia...

First of all, some of the volunteers decided to the repetition of experience confirm the effectiveness of method. As the minimum, for two it was possible without the errors to enlarge thus the capacity of comparatively small (tens of gigas-byte) winchesters. And if you yet not to the end were tangled, here is other the curious fact: journalists Inquirer did not begin to repeat experiment, instead of this after sending the appropriate demand to several producers and distrib'yutoram of hard disks. The answer, which arrived from one of them, says, that the proposed by the reader method - even not undocumented function: it is regularly used by technicians for the reserve copying of system regions!

That "confirm the effectiveness" is the link to SF.

Geez, what a horrible translation. I wonder if translation software will ever get to the point of being useful? When I was taking German, I used to try to use it, and the only use I could find was translating single words, or extremely simple sentences. Even then the translator would fail at least half the time.

The problem with current machine translators is that they don't understand anything, let alone what they are translating.

I dunno. But if you want it to be, it can.
Me? I think that if people are willing to stand up and say they want to be a legally recognized as a collective, there's no logical reason why they shouldn't be.
Although don't try to get more than that out of me. The subject is very hard on my mental well being.

I've noticed, from having LGB acquaintances (outside the obvious one) that relationships seem a lot more... fluid. Especially with the ladies. They seem to move in with each other at the drop of a hat, and to have sudden breakups. LOTS of money for lawyers.
OTOH, I have an aunt who has been with her partner for 30 years. They jointly own property, and they adopted kids together. But their relationship has no legal standing. That seems like a shame to me.

Merc, I just don't think that you know the right straight people.
Then again, I had a lesbian acquaintance who had a problem with liking sex with guys (perhaps I missed something); and a gay friend who had a girlfriend for a while.

That's more common than you might think. One of the reasons I hold out hope against all rationality in my personal situation.
A lot of folks who make that determination slip back and forth quite a bit, and there's certainly a great deal of social pressure to be straight. Several folks I knew in college as queerer than a $3 bill have heterosexual spouses now, in one case, a (formerly?) gay guy who married someone I knew as a butch-type lesbian.
I don't want to think what the ramifications of that relationship are. My relationship with Amy certainly wasn't a normal one, either.
I dunno. I think it's pretty hard to categorize things that way. You are who you want to be. Which is why your liking-guys friend can still say she's a lesbian.
But what I was talking about with the moving-in-and-breaking up phenomenon, I know a girl who moved in, with all her worldly possessions, with another girl three days after she met her, moved out two weeks later (back to her parent's house) and then in with another girl two weeks after that. I've never heard of anything like that happening with someone who is straight.

Ahh, the power of the t...(deleted due to family content forum).

Women speak 7000 words a day average. Men 2000. The above illustrates the effectiveness of the mouth in these situations.
It would have taken a man at least 3 times as long to convince the girl to move in...

I vote for Ohio. It ends where it starts, with "O."
Read into that what you will.

My sister had been bi for many years, she is getting married in July to a guy I was originally introduced to as being gay. Other than the really awesome Haloween parties, they are (now) quite "normal" in their behavior.

I guess I'm a little late in the day with this, but the porn site posting thing is easy to explain (I think). It's nothing to do with them wanting people here to follow the links to their crappy sites, it's all about Google.
The idea is Googlebombing. One of the lesser-known things about the Google ranking method is that it really, really likes links that happen to use the exact same words. For example, let's say I place links in five web sites to Storage Forum, and the words I link the SF URL from are:
* interesting storage discussion
* great talk about storage
* all about storage
* the best site for storage
* learn about storage
Google finds those links (eventually) and raises Storage Forum in its rankings a little bit. The amount SF goes up in the rankings depends on the "merit" of the sites I'm linking from.
So, if I place the links in a few no-one-ever-heard-of-it sites, they make very little difference to the ranking. If I place them in a prime Google site (i.e., one that Google thinks is popular, and which is linked to by other high-rated sites), then the Storage Forum ranking goes up. Maybe it goes from Google # 142 to Google #131 in the first example; but up to Google #87 in the second one.
Now comes the clever bit: the Googlebomb. This relies on the fact that the Google ranking mechanism just happens to really like links that point to a site from the exact same term.
So, I go back to my 5 no-one-ever-heard-of-it sites and, this time, I link to Storage Forum like this:
* all about storage
* all about storage
* all about storage
* all about storage
* all about storage
Five different sites, none of them worth a blip on Google's radar. They can be total crap sites that get 3 hits a month - it doesn't matter. Because all of a sudden, for the search term "all about storage", Storage Forum is Google #1!
So what's going on with the porn-bot accounts, unless I miss my guess, is that they are trying to get links here (where Google searches now and then) using the exact same link term as they are trying to get on various other sites. And, of course, getting your pay site listed as Google #1 (or even #10) for a term like "great tits" is worth quite a lot of money.
Scumbags.
Delete the bastards, Doug.
If you need any help with them, I am happy to use a little of my famous simian upper body strength to rip them in half for you.
Most people behave much nicer after you tear their arms off.

You don't know about Googlebombing? Try searching for "miserable failure"; it still works.
