So i just deleted my operating system (and everything else on the drive). Once again encountered one of windows odder features. When you delete certain files (mostly in the windows directory), windows goes and recreates them. No errors on deletion, just *poof* their back. Could be confusing if you don't realize it's doing it. "Why isn't this directory emp

dharma, doable, i don't plan on leaving anytime soon, now that i'm here. and i'm sure you'll hate me once you get to know me bluedev, have to be careful, going off and being curious like that, might get your cat killed, which would be bad...

The intent of this article is to give some background as to where i'm been/how i've acted online. At this point i've been online for something like fifteen years. And for most of that time i've lurked. I tend to be slow to get involved in things with people (both on and offline). Look, listen, get a feel for whats going on, then jump in and make a fool of mysel

As Wesley once said, Life Is Pain (anyone that says otherwise is obviously trying to sell you something). The world is a crazy place, it's helps to admit your crazy too. I feel your pain, it sounds much like my own.

yes little whip, i do know your a points whore. i've read enough of your articles to tell there have been a few times i almost delurked to comment on them too. but dharma directly asked me to post in her article, so i did. of course, i had been thinking about delurking for the past few weeks anyways. hehe, now i have to decide if i should go back and find all the articles i liked and

doh, i feel silly now (which is neither new nor bad). I forgot to mention that i have been lurking here for a while, at least a month, probably closer to three. This is not the first online community i've been part of and i am not intimidated by the more outspoken bloggers. Time for an analogy: it's like walking into a room of people that have never met/seen/heard of you, yet you've been stalking them all for months. I can't say how anyone else wo

Now that i've delurkified myself i've noticed a problem here. From the point of view of you all (by this i mean the people i read often, i'm not going to claim i read everything here) i must appear a stranger. Yet from my point of view i know many of you (or at least the face you wear in your blogs, if there is a difference). Lurking was easy, no one knew me, or ev

texas, yes, i wanted you to troll me, and you still can if you want, but chiprj showed me the error of my ways. but still, trolling is fun, it's kind of like fishing your evil chiprj, evil i say giving me more points =P but you brought knowledge, which ruined the experiment, but that's ok, it was all for fun and if you want to jump more then the 'next twenty's' as you

So i was thinking (potentially dangerous, i know) would it be possible to get a negative score/points/whatever you want to call it. As i understand it people declaring a comment of mine as trolling gets me negative points, so in theory, enough people telling me how bad my comments are would get me a negative total. Mind you, it will take lots <BR

no, mustn't post, mustn't lose my precious lurkerness, must resist the urge to post, argh... Once Upon A Time... There was a game called Galactic Civilizations, and i thought it would be a fun game and i bought it (or to be overly technical i bought a subscribtion to drengin.net for a year). And it came with these neat extras, like stardocks updater and registration here. So time goes by and one day i'm using said updater and i notice a

Well your going to have to decide on both of those accounts, i'll just write what i write and see where that gets me. <!-- Ju-Anchor-Footer-End

Hey you, yeah you, go vote. Stop reading this right now and go out and vote, quick quick, run don't walk.

If it helps you decided, vote for whoever you think would do the job the best, even if that ends up being the neighbor
