Mom charged $80,000 per song for file sharing
Note: the following post is based on the assumption that she was fined not because she downloaded the songs (they don't give a crap, i believe) but was because she shared the downloaded stuff online. Unless, I failed my interpretation. In any case, if she was fined for sharing the stuff online, then she deserves it, however I must agree 80k per song is a bit insane.

Anyone here into reptiles?
As much as I'd like a snake, they're illegal here so meh. Aside from that, I used to have a couple of terrapins here and there, nothing too special.

Tech facts or myth?
I've heard some weird advice about computers from people everywhere. Here's a small list of them, along with some info. Having a huge case makes the interior "roomier", allowing circulation and reducing a risk of overheating :wall: - Got told this by the salesman at a computer specialised store while hunting for a computer. A laptop when charged for too long will exude electricity from any port. :? - What my supposedly adept in tech brother assumes. USB stuff lasts a couple of years before they are terminally screwed. - Read on the back of a flash drive A black area with a brown outline on a LCD screen is the result of the liquid in the screen leaking out, presumably due to dropping. - Explanation my dad gave when my GBA (I was 9 when I bought it) when the said area appeared on the screen) See those vents on the side of the laptop? It supposedly gives you a fever when you get exposed to the air it produces too long. - What my mother (she is good with general knowledge, just totally hopeless when it comes to tech) assumes. Are those facts real or are they just... utter crap? Also, if you have any other facts you find dubiously odd, post them here! Apologies if there is something like this.

Obscure thoughts: Deadly Grammar
Huh? You mean something like... throwing ASCII asterisks at people? I don't get.

Swine Flu (H1N1 Strain) Reaches Level 6 - Official Pandemic
All they're doing to us now is... trying to stop infections, by forcing us to do temperature checks. Ugh. If our temperature does reach suspicious levels, then we're as good as gone. Stupid government.

Do YOU know what to do when...
And more children will be abused in the process, letting that potential rapist get more... sick. :wall:

YOUR thoughs on Pre-ordered/Pre-Paying for games?
I prefer waiting until the game drops in price before making a move. Drop already BattleForge. :x

What Makes a Swear, a Swear?
I guess swear words were meant to offend people at the start, but as generations pass, it's taboo now.

Moderator Applications - Now Closed
Judging by how I post, I'm not probably deserving, but I might send in an application because I see the section "stuff you'd like to see added".

Bird Problems.
Okay. Blood. Could you, I don't know, quit it? You've made 2 whole pages of posts, not one of them helping the OP with his bird problems. What do you preach about? How to be a slave to your dog. Whoopiedoo. Stop telling people how to treat their dogs, I'm sure most, if not all know what their dogs need, and what they don't. Not all of them live in... where ever you stay. They have different conditions to meet. So take a walk in their shoes before you tell others they are mistreating their dog. I don't have a dog, but I'm sure no one would pay hundreds for a dog, then leave it somewhere to gather dust. A mod is probably going to lock this topic if this topic wanders on... :wall:

Excercises while you surf
You think the bodybuilders at the olympics got that way because they did a few sit-ups every time they take a break from the computer? :wall:

Am I a murderer?
You can't murder rabbits. Even if you could, it was an accident. Next time you find something like this, kill them instantly. it hurts them less.

Lets make some pillow talk
Doesn't really matter. What matters is, however, the pillow case. Nonos include but are not limited to: Furry Plastic A pillow without a case. :wall:

Bird Problems.
Haven't you tried shooting the birds yet? Even if it is just warning shots. If the problem persists, I suggest you seek professional pest control. It's not really our fault that the thread posed a very weird question you know. Weird question here = Weird (or in your case, "comedic") answers. \

World cup 2010!
I got a 419 scam about this. :wall: Won't go into detail.

Our Obession with Celebrity
I'm not sure why the press goes crazy when a celebrity "could" be pregnant, divorced, have a personal friend of the opposite gender, or something. Who really cares about what lives they lead? The only reasons people obsess with a celebrity are because: 1. Said person landed lead role in overly hyped about movie 2. Said person is rich 3. Said person is obscenely lucky and gets recognized for a talent by another celebrity 4. Said person is a teenager who is at least 2 of the 3 points listed above 5. Said person is all of the above

No Hugging, No touching? WTF?!
Banning hugging, I'm okay with. I haven't had a hug in uh... actually I can't even remember. What I can't stand is banning touching though. It's like telling people to just shut up through the day. IMO the students should just carry on as usual, after all, the principal of the school can't expel or deal with everyone in the school. Too much work for the teachers, as if they don't already have enough to deal with. For example, my principal forbade guys to come into an arm's length of a girl, and vice versa because apparently "love" is hindering our studies. So what did we do? Nothing. What did the teachers do? Nothing.

Ask yourself this: will riding the rollercoaster (literally) kill you? No? Ride it then.

mother deemed too stupid to keep child
What the heck? The government is really damn useless these days. Too stupid to instruct a lawyer? Too stupid to keep a child? There are really people with <100 I.Q out there with happy, lovely children and these pick a woman who is perfectly capable of taking care of a child? I mean, it's perfectly understandable if the mother is poor or something but intelligence should not be any form of issue. What is the world coming to :roll: Isn't that the name of one of the babies afflicted with anencephaly(sp?) and died like, 14 years ago?

Paint Balling
Paintball is rare over here due to overly strict gun issues and we don't have enough land to build houses, much less a huge paintbal arena. Although I have handled a paintball gun on holiday(too bad it was just shooting metal cans).

15 years in jail for possession of manga...
Sex issues aside, I'd like to know why that moron simply pleaded guilty instead of battling it out with the US law.

Best Games.
I just love RTS games. Got hooked when I was a kid. The Command & Conquer Series, yes I have everything save for Kane's Wrath and RA3: Uprising. AOE. I've heard 3 was a slight disappointment though. Blizzard's RTS (Warcraft and Starcraft) are decent as well. Starcraft has better gameplay, Warcraft has the better technology (pathing AIs and such)

Best online based game?
If you like thinking, Red Alert 3 and its expansion have very, very insane multiplayer. Only drawback? 6 players per game.
