I'm going to have to second this. Otherwise, Gyrados perhaps.

No.

Steams DRM works entirely on the basis that pirates don't get hats.

I keep my junk in easily accessible piles, just in case I ever need any of it.

The whole point of this is that this is what trolling is now, not what it used to be. At no point have I said that I support trolling in either form, but it is still true that it has changed over the years; it used to be a sport (a vain and sadistic sport) but now it's just jerks being jerks for...

No it didn't. He just said it needed to be cunning, which is exactly right if you're trying to get a reaction out of people.

It's probably a bit too late for me. I am however interested in specialising in nuclear materials which is vaguely related, although it seems somewhat uncertain at the moment about whether they'll be much of a future in it.

I've not tried their acoustics, or many other acoustics for that matter, but the action of the yamaha pacifica was fairly high, but I didn't have the option of tinkering with it to try and improve matters.

I've never liked yamahas, but my opinion of them may be biased as when I was taking lessons I was forced to use one with strings so old that you could actually pick bits of dirt and rust off them.

Beginners should get cheap guitars because you wont know what sort of guitar you want until you've been playing for a year or two. Squier strats are the tried and tested beginners guitar.

I think INFJ is romanticised to some extent by INTPs, I think the descriptions tend to align with what we would like to be if we had the chance. I think it basically appeals to Si-Fe, if that makes sense. Alternatively, it may be that many of us are F types without realising it. Feeling seems...

If it is a very succinct and insightful quote, it can add quite a lot to an argument. But just quoting people for the sake of it, or the classic "they're-more-important-than-you-therefore-you're-wrong", gets quite irritating.

Sometimes in the middle of writing or explaining long arguments, I realise I am wrong right in the middle. What I often do in this situation is subtly change the direction of my argument to make it look like I was right all along. Most of the time when I notice I am wrong, it's because of a...

The first requirement which should come before asking this, is to have an idea of who to troll and what the aim of the trolling is. I also think a new name for trolling is needed, now that popular culture has hijacked the word to simply mean bullying.

You're an older model Cognisant, I have upgraded firmware. He did a pretty good job of killing Odin. Now it's my turn, and there is no chain to bind me, nor do I have the pride to let any of you try.

*Fenrirs nanotech-augmented descendant appears* Thor, I thought you were killed last Ragnarok? *pounces*

I'm glad that I'm no longer an inconvenience.

testing -it works. I deleted the last.fm link in my account and my msn link.

I've changed my email, so I'll see if that works now. I've already changed most of my profile but I'll clear it all out anyway

It could be I suppose. Hopefully it will go on its own soon. I might try changing my email, it probably won't do anything, but a lot of forums now tend to block hotmail accounts because of spam. [edit - googlemail seems to be blocked too]

The cheese has to be very strong aged cheese such as stilton to work. The most plausible explanation is the actions of tyramine and its interaction with MAO-A.

This has been happening to me for a few days, if I recall correctly it was happening to me last time I was here a few months ago too. :(

The problem with games and software tends not to be the software itself, but the cracks or keygens needed to get them to work. They can usually be downloaded separately to the main program, but it's best to ask around and find what's working at the present moment in time. I'm not very...

Last movie I watched was das boot. It's quite good if a little tedius in parts. Get the 3 and a half hour long directors cut, and the subtitled version is better than the dubbed.

It's pretty much the de facto song for world record attempts. It's less about actually playing a good piece of music (although I'm sure he can anyway) and more about bragging. If you let people choose whatever they want when they do world record attempts, they can pick stuff which is easier...

I had keyboard lessons from the age of around 8 or 9 until I was 16, I was never as good as I could have been due to lack of practice. I meant to carry on playing it once I stopped but didn't. Around the same time I stopped I took up the guitar, but only played it on and off for a few years...

That's quite good. I always think it's a shame that most professionally mastered music almost always seems to have the bass guitar level so low that it fades into the background. A guitarist called Devin Townsend once remarked that kids when he was young got so good at playing because they...

I never said anything of the sort. Either way it is an atrocious argument because at the end of the day everyone is going to be paying the same for an internet connection whether they're downloading or not. Have you actually read anything I've said? Everything that I would be bothered about...

And I have provided reasons why it is not. You may be implying it but you haven't gave any good reasons why. Also your line of argument seems to be against digital downloads in general, not just illegal ones. The piracy you described is arguably far worse than downloading. The difference is...

They usually don't understand though. Even if they do understand, they fail to adequately explain why they disagree.

For anything you can't simply download again, online storage space is dirt cheap. If that isn't an option, you can get fire-proof safes for not much more than a couple of hard-drives, and every house should have one anyway. Or if you have a willing friend or relative, set up a NAS device in...

Anyone else notice how many other people say this, or words to that effect? I find that it is incredibly infuriating, especially as it is almost always followed by the other person repeating their original point in a slightly different way, and showing no signs at all that they've understood...

Most peoples views on this are uniquely polarised, everyone seems to be either stuck at "pirates are evil" or "corporations are evil"

I disagree entirely. The concept of intellectual property is the foundation of the entire creative industry. The problem however, is with copyright, and especially the ability to sell or licence that right to others. My view is that the entire system should be royalty based, with the creators...

Personally I've boycotted EA entirely. I won't even give them the satisfaction of pirating their games. Instead of blaming people why not try and find solutions. No one thinks piracy is right but they do it anyway, yes some people are greedy or lazy and will always pirate, but the average...

We are living in the information age yet copyright holders are stuck in the past. Unless they change it will be them who destroy the industry. I am all in favour of buying work to support content creators, but unfortunately the creators are rarely the owners. The copyright holders are not going...

Whenever I need a quick boost of confidence when I'm out, I focus on posture. I stretch out to my full height, relax my shoulders, rotate my hips. Just going through that action makes a noticeable difference but takes a lot of energy to keep up for long. From this I believe simply doing yoga is...

I can relate to most of that. Except that I am generally quite conscious of the negative thought patterns, it makes it all the more frustrating because I can see what I'm doing wrong but am powerless to change it. I think I have a strong shadow Ni whispering these things to me in the back of my...

It's good advice, as everyones has been. I already sort of knew it myself, but it's good to have confirmation.

Me in a nutshell. I've been doing this for as long as I can remember. I often get myself pumped up to do this, but when I'm in the same room as other people it's as though that part of my brain just shuts down. Exactly. The next step is talking to my house mates tomorrow, which seems...

It's the same for me. I think perhaps the hardest part of it is just the initial step. The problem in the UK is that the NHS is GP-centric. The only way to get to a psychologist is through a referral from a GP, and if you do get a referral the psychologists are over-subscribed so tend to...

I generally find that covering all these points helps me cope, but none of them is a magic bullet. Chicken/egg. If I saw a psychologist the answer would probably depend on the person I was talking to.

Real Ale drinker here. I cringe whenever someone says they don't like beer, because if you look in the right places there is a beer that caters to most conceivable tastes. The most common complaint is that it tastes like piss, but that tends to only be true for cheap and/or mass produced stuff...

I might join, but I've got to decide between using my current account which is my real name or opening a second account.

My colleagues were once going to take me to a stripclub as a leaving-party, but circumstances meant I had to leave early and so this never happened. To this day a voice in the back of my head says that this was probably a good thing.

I've been playing recently, but the server I've been on was a cheap one with terrible lag, and for the past couple of weeks I've been getting ISP related packet loss.

I've thought about it, but SSRIs are the default prescription and I've witnessed what they can do to people. I don't see beta-blockers having a big impact because they only affect the physical symptoms which kick in during stressful situations, and my problem is more along the lines of avoiding...

I just hate the people shoving it in my face in every single corner of the internet.
