Go for it, should work fine. Mine does, anyhow. :)

Dead, these are some good ideas. There are some technical limitations to the way the software is written that don't allow this at the moment, but I'm going to do some digging, find out if there is some way to modify the code to allow these.

I'd be perfectly willing to take on running the place, but I am not willing to pay for it. And I'm sorry, but military service is not an excuse - the people who own it make their own priorities, they could have gotten someone to look after it while they were gone, and obviously this was not a...

Ok folks - this is open to everyone. Keep the input constructive and on topic, please.

I totally missed that. Funny, because I automatically spell in US Speak... years of habit formed by building software for the US market.

Err... if you think this is limited to Canada, you need to take a good look around.

That's funny as hell - my wife has her own machine. The background on her computer? A drawing of a girl for a comic book! I have tons of Playboy rated backgrounds that I use all the time, she doesn't mind.

Check out the guy stretch wrapped to his bed ... notice the fact that someone stuffed some lights down his shorts before they wrapped him! I wish I had some pictures from the things I've seen at parties over the years. Video would be even better. :D

LOL! Don't worry about tiptoeing around it, I don't honestly think the morals are much different from here to there, just the laws around those. While it's technically legal here, as in, you wouldn't likely get tossed in jail, it's not something that happens much, if at all - for the same...

Actually, it doesn't seem to cause us much in the way of problems. Among other things, most 14yo Canadian girls can and will kick your ass back into the stone age if you treat them wrong, especially if you are some 55yo lecher. Think about it this way - mother nature thinks we are old enough...

Not really NWS for exposure, just inapproriate content at work. :)

The laws for age of consent are complex, but yes, 14 is the earliest you could get away with it in theory. In practice... well, I went to a friend of mine's wedding in a rather remote little town, and there was a hot little thing there who was 25 years old and was looking after her...

I'll leave this here until this evening, then I'm going to be moving it into the General section for input and feedback from everyone.

Well.... kindof. WOW isn't exactly the latest game anymore - if you don't mind waiting a month or so until the community gets each one working properly. I tend to finish games within days of their release, so building in an extra few weeks to get them working on my OS isn't an option. :(

If it's just lockups, the first thing to try is a good cleaning. Pull the case sides off and blow the dust bunnies out. If that doesn't help, move to a reformat. Lastly, you are looking at figuring out what piece of hardware is toasted, and at that point you are likely better off just...

Added, thanks Jeff.

Sorry for the long post. This is something I've been meaning to get done for some time, and of course, the recent (non-server related) troubles have just increased the urgency IMO. My plan is to solicit input from you folks, then move this in front of the membership for feedback, then...

PS: Just to throw in a little of my opinion - Age does not equate to Maturity. In many cases, sure, but there are far too many exceptions, as witnessed by many posts in this thread. I would not be happy in a community where you have to be 35+ to be a Mod, despite the fact that I am 37.

Now THIS is what I'm talking about - a sensible discussion on how to make things better. Keep the ideas coming, folks. The only downside to this thread is the fact that it's going to take me an hour to assign +1s to deserving people! :)

Linux is better than everything else except for one fact - games. If game manufacturers start supporting Linux, Windows will be off my machine so fast, they'll hear the shockwave in Redmond from here. However, for most people, this is not an option. If I were forced to pick from Windows OSs...
