    NZBMatrix is dead. What now?

    Back in the late 90s I used to use IRC for quite a bit for these things..efnet and undernet specifically i believe, with xdcc, fservs etc. Is that still an option? or is that also getting cracked down on or not viable for large scale piracy? Think there was also something called 'fsp' i used...

    Vasectomy Inc

    Ok found more info on the device I was mentioning early. Less invasive than a vasectomy; possible option for the particularly lazy/cowardly dudes out there. In all reality though both procedures are very minor with negligible recovery. http://www.medicinenet.com/script/ma...ticlekey=21688...

    Vasectomy Inc

    People who've had vasectomies tend to develop these large versions of these things called 'spermatoceles' near their testes, which I am not totally sure of the mechanism but is probably related to the vas ligation. They are quite common even in a normal population, but tend to be larger and more...

    Desktop Computers

    This is decent looking but still quite a bit larger than the custom pc's i linked. I don't think there are build-it-yourself cases that are close to compact as the tiki or alienware - if there are i'd be happy to give that a shot instead of paying a premium. The alienware especially is gimped by...

    Vasectomy Inc

    There's another procedure women can get where they have these tubes inserted into their..tubes to block them. I forget what the procedure is called, and not sure on it's safety/effectiveness profile. I am pretty sure it is done more often in Europe than here. I am fairly confident though that it...

    Desktop Computers

    So anyone here a fan of small form factor gaming pcs? I have a small place and can't afford the room for an office desk and hardcore gamer setup. So I just use the living room with an hdmi hookup from my laptop hidden in our media cabinet, and a wireless keyboard and mouse, with a big enuf...

    Any admins/other people in the know want to do some interviews

    I think the rape story is fascinating personally, it's really convincing and heartfelt, and utter bullshit. It's a good discussion piece into the diversity of mental illness and how the Internet can foster and evolve it in novel ways. In addition, it's also a good story about how Internet...

    Any admins/other people in the know want to do some interviews

    My friend is a freelance journalist, currently unemployed, but I've been telling him that this whole last few weeks of drama bs could make a good story on Internet subcultures, manginas, etc, and he says he will at least consider it. If you have opinions and ever wanted to be famous, heres your...

    They've actually shown a lot of different gameplay elements throughout the videos. Grinding yes, of course it's Korean, but also home building, siege warfare, boat building and sailing, supposedly an entire continent which will be up for pvp grabs. It's certainly an ambitious endeavor, and will...

    The Evelys Apology

    I think snoop said something similar first, but with so much drama it's kind of hard to keep up. My head is so exploded I actually had a hard time getting any work done today.. When are erronious and Eomer going to chime in on this, didn't they get duped? And speaking of which where is duppin...

    Seriously just fix fucking site already

    And I always thought of foh as "too big to fail" It"s amazing when you think about it, this forum has been around 10+ years. It"s a much bigger deal now to consider it failing/shutting down, as opposed to say 2004 I doubt much stink would have been risen.

    Seriously just fix fucking site already

    So how much is requiems time worth? Let"s say it takes 15 minutes to get tuco ssh/FTP access. Let"s say it takes tuco 6 hours to fix. Lets assume requiems time is worth 300$/hr and tuco"s is 10$/hr, we start a fund and raise about 150$, will this shit then get fixed?

    So my loan officer at wells Fargo has been needling me on to go with arm or interest only loan products. Interest rates being what they are, a 30 yr fixed at 4.1% is pretty tempting, but so is a 7/1 arm at 3.1%. Are ARMs really that bad? I feel like everyone pushes me towards the fixed rate...

    downtown sf is full of highrises charging over 1 mil and well over. Just google infinity towers, millenium, four seasons, st regis, rincon hill, one hawthorne, just to name a few. These arent apartment style units; some are 2k+ sq feet and bigger than a lot of single family homes in the area...

    Say hypothetically you are buying a 1.5 mil place- So say you put 300k down, then you have a 1.2 mil loan At 4.375% APR, monthly mortgage is 5991 Property tax (1.2% CA) 18,000/yr Condo, so HOA 1500/month Average monthly cost - 9k/month So what monthly income do you think is needed to...

    @ eomer, pretty sure the phrase is "hemmed and hawed" not "hummed and hawed", though thats a pretty cute variation. Nothing is proper substitute for trial-and-error; meeting someone early on and not working out means dump out and move on to the next, don"t waste any time. Persistence only makes...

    haha wow you"re taking what i said waaaay over the top. When i said that i meant i"d say something like "yea he"s definitely got a better mind for business than me" or "your dad sounded upset about something"; and then her typical response "don"t say that, you are bringing me down" Actually...

    ok fair enough, there"s a lot of truth to what you said about me there. but i"ve tackled this topic before with friends, re: how do you actualy get "more" confident? i"ve actually found in the past i"d get more worked up trying to figure out how to "be" more confident that it was a lot less...

    not to digress, but that goes without saying. my point wasnt that i was shoving my flaws down her throat..more like, it"s ok to talk about the "unpleasant" things in life, whether it be to acknowledge/accept them, to improve them, or whatever else. The dialogue itself should not be anathema in...

    i guess this is where i cant agree. call it lack of confidence, or insecurity or whatever you want. I just wont accept that its ok for someone to not know their significant other"s faults. To me its an important part of someone, and something someone needs to acknowledge and accept. For me, it...

    you"re kinda getting now to what i despise about chicks in general, and my g/f in particular. what"s so hard openly accepting my faults and still being happy about who i am? I think a person"s flaws are just as important a part of who they are as their strengths, maybe she realizes that deep...

    Define confidence? This definitely brings up a sour point for me, as my ex and my current g/f both love/loved going off about how i"m not "confident". but my g/f"s idea of confidence is dressing like a ck model, standing up really straight, and never saying anything unpleasant even if it"s...

    But see this is exactly my point of frustration. I enjoy putting "stuff in" so to speak and i"m not really looking to get something back, to me this would just seem so..mechanical?

    the problem as i see it, is if ut is banned it would falsely lend some creedence to his cause, simply because this is a developer (and a famous one at that) which he"s ranting against. he would immediately be elevated from "random idiot" to "voice suppressed by authority and a spoiled developer"...

    this thread is going in circles. someone needs to pump some juice back into this thread. maybe blackhand or some other "anonymous" mod could bust out some of the pm"s millie got/sent and embarass the piss out of some common posters here.

    I"m exactly the same way. I remember when I zoned over to bonemire in everquest2 in the expansion, and started seeing exact copy/pastes of overworld architecture from lavastorm (but in a purple hue). It was a small thing, but it hinted to me that the dev team had long since phoned it in.
