[quote]Sooooo am I looking at you seven years ago?[/quote] Yep. That was taken outside of Tahoe High School before a gig while I was stationed in San Diego. [quote]Too bad your opinions didn't match your looks![/quote] I'd remind you that you only know the opinions of OckhamsRazor who is but one facet of me as a whole.

Reply to Having an affair? in Marital Issues JoeUser Forums

[quote]I feel satisfied that nothing will ever happen behind my back[/quote] How about up front? Can he say "hey, this chick wants to.....can I?" Would you say yes? Who here would say "Of course, dude. Have fun!" *crickets* I bring this up because there are two parts (at the least) to having an affair. One is the fact that you're having a pretty intimate act with someone other than your spouse,

Reply to The Benefit JoeUser has for Stardock in Blog Communities Stardock Forums

Some responses in no particular order: For those of you that don't understand the use of the word "used," I will explain what I see. JU is a blog site. People come here and sign up for free. You get a nice white space and an editor. That is your "page." Let's say you blog for a while and become quite popular, like Little Whip, for example, because I sure as hell am not speaking about myself. You're told how lucky you are

Reply to What would be viable copy protection? in PC Gaming JoeUser Forums

[quote]The key is to minimize sale losses from piracy (which isn't the amount it's downloaded, but people who pirate the game instead of buying it)[/quote] Ironic that they actually caused players that WERE ready to buy it to pirate it instead. Generally speaking, piraters never have any plans of buying what they pirate - for whatever reason. So if someone pirates a game, it isn't a loss of a sale. There was never going to be a sale in the first place.

[quote]Hmm...I figure being used for marketing is like paying rent for my blogging.[/quote] I agree, and that's exactly what it is. I'd like the option to pay. Note, I didn't say I wanted to pay. I said I wanted the option. [quote]Do you not like that I've wandered into the realm from WinCustomize, Ock??[/quote] No no...it isn't that at all. But the feel of the blog is gone because JU is so interconnected w

The Benefit JoeUser has for Stardock in Blog Communities JoeUser Forums

Long ago, JoeUser was just this free place to blog. And it was pointed out many times that "Hey...this was just a sideshow Brad started. He doesn't need it. He doesn't have to provide this place. Be grateful you have a place to blog...be grateful they provide server space for your mental wanderings." And we were. But notice what JU is now? There are some people here (not me) that attract a fairly large audience.

Reply to Are you afraid of talking about racism? in Blogging Stardock Forums

Hard to say. The only racism I've ever encountered came towards me from black people. Let me rephrase. African-Americans. No, let me rephrase again. Black Americans. I qualify it this way out of respect for Africans. I've met lots of Africans, and they don't want to be associated in the slightest way with Black Americans that call themselves African-Americans.

Reply to Marching Band in Music JoeUser Forums

Once upon a time you had to "make" the band. Meaning, you showed up at summer band camp your first year, and if you didn't perform well and show the right attitude, you weren't in the band. At some point band directors got hamstrung by spineless principals buckling under the pressure of idiot parents that thought every kid deserved to be in band (well, not every kid, but definitely THEIR kid). Gee whiz...I never saw Fumble Fingers Fudpucker wobbling down the

Reply to What is wrong with the Sidebar Links? in Blogging Stardock Forums

Me too. (I couldn't resist) Something else that has NEVER worked for me is the little "more" button in the article lists on my front page. Sometimes I want to find things that have scrolled away. I click the "more" thing and nothing happens.

Reply to Download or Retail? in Gaming JoeUser Forums

I love the download. I just back the install up to disk and I don't have a box, advertisements, manuals I never read because I have gamefaqs.com at my disposal, and other sundries filling up my garbage can.
