Users normally get a PM explaining why their signature has been removed. The fact you didn't receive one was an honest mistake by the moderator that handled your signature. I think everything has been addressed by now. If there's something else I'm missing, feel free to ask.

Also, it's usually cheaper to treat someone who had an accident if they had a seatbelt on. It's better for the common good if such a law is enforced, especially if there's some kind of state healthcare in place. Cases of fire or falling into water aren't significant when compared to other kinds of accidents, too.

On the same topic, I'm interested in classic guitar, and I can already read music. Where can I get good scores online?

I read somewhere that the real Myers Briggs test actually correlates with 4 of the "big five", so it's not that much pseudo-science. After all, the test only gathers what you already know about yourself and puts it together.

I don't have to take the test again to know I'm an INTJ. The descriptions have always been accurate except I'm not as creative as I'd like to be. A rational, soulless monster, as I once said. I just hate to be paired with Ayn Rand.

Well, there's already a successful thread that encompasses your idea, so I wouldn't say it's dumb. It just would have been too much to have made a whole sub-forum for it.

Today, I listened to a debate on whether my country should be secular or keep its state religion. The Lutheran Church supported the secularization, and a big Civil Rights Movement opposed it. It was weird, but interesting.

As jaerkd00d kindly pointed out, there's already a thread on this exact topic. Feel free to add your thoughts to that one. Locked.

Indeed, please post all your questions in Help & Advice. As for your question, I'm afraid I haven't played RS in one year or so, so I can't help. :P

Wongtong, your solution was right. Adrenal, n² + (n-1) gives 1 tile for pattern 1, and 5 tiles for pattern 2. You're actually off by 1 pattern, so the answer is 20. dave's approach is correct and will lead you to the right soution, though it's a bit too complicated for what you need.

As it's explained in the link Cowman posted, you'll need special permissions to post there. If you are interested, check that thread.

That's what I was thinking. It seems some eye maladies worsen while you grow (my myopia does, for example), so you might end up wearing glasses some years after the surgery if you don't wait (until ~21 in my case). Can't you talk with an ophthalmologist about that?

I've heard how people like Limbaugh and O'Reilly are just idiots that don't really represent the American right wing, even though they're the loudest by far. Can anyone then direct me to a sane and intelligent conservative commentator?

That would is a great idea, for everyone involved. No more flaming will be allowed.

magekillr posted that link back in the first page. :P Let's see Zierro, you asked to have your logic fought with logic instead of statistics, so I'll try to oblige. Your argument is that having a bad enough consequence for crime (capital punishment) might deter, or at least alleviate crime. As far as I understand, you're extending the grasp of operant conditioning from the individuals (as explained in the article, this occurs with single rats, cats or humans) to society as a whole, where punishing a human will create a conditioning on another. You might be failing to see that there is more behind human ethics than a balance of consequences. For instance, people may act without thinking about consequences (e.g. if their thought is impaired by drugs, they act in the spur of the moment, or as a symptom of a mental illness). They can also play down the importance of the punishment altogether (most criminals don't expect to be caught when they commit a crime), or they might overrate a potential reward; there could some kind of "principles" that overrides self-interest-driven morals (so capital punishment won't deter, let's say, suicide bombers).

The children that beat those kids up are guilty. The kids that got beaten up were innocent. There is clearly a difference. That just sounds like a big excuse to me. Just because you had a bad life does not serve as a justification in the least. It's not a justification. Nobody is saying "forget about the kids, for they had a bad childhood". But physically harming them (just like torturing torturers) won't prevent that from happening again and it won't solve the original problem that caused violence in the first place. There is a difference between revenge and justice. This kind of aggression is a symptom of something bigger, and the kids need serious counselling, not a beating up.

It's so great Me_Hate_Libs and depresins are getting along that well. They should share emails and chat with each other! Outside these threads. *wink* *wink* *nudge* Alright? Spam is evil and whatnot.

That was hilarious. :lol: The context won't actually help me, but the translation does give me a rough idea (which is more than enough). :thumbsup:

Well, I was really interested on deciphering this text. Apparently, it's Vietnamese: [hide=][/hide]If anyone was able to post a translation, I'd be forever and ever grateful to them. [Edit] The original comes from this site. There are also a couple of latin phrases there, but they don't intrigue me as much as the Vietnamese text.

I'm pretty sure a lot of users would be over us if we actually were infecting computers, so maybe it could be a problem on your side or a false positive. Couldn't you please post some details about that? For example, was there a specific advertisement when you saw the warnings, etc.?

Tell me, why do you think there's a need for such thread at all? Such threads have always been posted in OT already, and there aren't so many that we would need a sticky. Or maybe I'm missing your point; what kind of questions would get in there, according to you?

The more moderators there are overall, the less work there is for everyone, and the more coverage we can give to all boards and timezones. We had these many new moderators this time, because the team agreed that they were all good additions. Besides, it's not like it's counter-productive to have a lot of mods, is it?

If you really must know a teeny bit of pixie dust, some take out, and a great community. ;) And an awful lot of work from the Moderators, the Admins, and the TET team. Har har.
