[quote who="myfist0" reply="13" id="3084624"]Win! Well, partial….DNS pulled from SOPA (for now) The Media[/quote] I've always supported the notion of flame-war avoidance, but I've never been able to convince anyone in inner Stardockia that everything is political. There's no way to manage an online forum without making judgment calls, and there's no way to make a judgment call that is purely objective. But one reason policies get written is to simplify the work

Banned because you nailed the tip, or whatever, even though you claim to not understand. Do some more reading on the history of prudish garments and get back to us, you naughty-bit-o-phobe. Or better yet, join a local naturist club and work to replace your freak-out-about-bodies view of clothing with a wholesome appreciation of practicality and perhaps some affection for fashion.

Banned because I doubt that you really want a quick overview of the top/bottom/versatile/frottage-only thing. It really doesn't have anything to do with creepy real things like fisting or silly myths like gerbiling. Just go with the belly laugh. Banned again because we all have join dates displayed, and I hope most of y'all had some joining in your lives more recently.

Reply to George Takei Blog, a must read! in Politics GalCiv2 Forums

I'm no fan of fame, but I like Takei for a few reasons and there's no doubt that more folks in the U.S. need to know our own history when it comes to 'making the world safe for democracy.'

Banned for being overly gross on account of shunning everything other than neuroanatomy and hardware. Also banned because I still can't get a hit at scroogle.org. Screw whoever is behind this mess, and I mean in a hardware way, not a wholesome sexual way.

Banned because it looks like some villain or another has totally taken down scroogle.org. I'm used to the occasional 'they think we're a bot and we're down for a bit' page, but now my ISP (Cox) can't even resolve the domain name. Instead, I get a search page w/ a first link to the scrotum topic at health.justanswer.com. Even weirder, no site:forums. RandomStardockDomain .com for scroogle get any hits, even though I've seen plenty of discussio

Reply to Spray On WiFi ?! in Personal Computing GalCiv2 Forums

For those of you interested in SF pre-capitulating real engineering, I recommend Vernor Vinge's Rainbow's End . The novel's setting features exactly the sort of novo-nano-thinking that Doc praises in this thread--it's a world where personal computing tech is wearable.

Everyone would be better off shunning all the cable news channels in favor of good old-fashioned reading. Important things deserve thoughtful engagement, which is impossible in a high-tech non-stop circus.
