Jewels @Tetchie (2932) • Australia 1 Apr 07

If you respond to a post and you get no response back from the poster do you feel despondent and think 'why did I bother?' Don't know if you feel the same way but if I don't get a response to my answer I feel ignored. To me...

gau_veldt Half of the time I don't even know when I get responses. A lot of topics move so fast it takes forever to find the original post and look for any. Also if I'm in a binge to respond to several topics I rarely look back simply becuase that takes a lot of time as...

gau_veldt Yeah it does run slow. Very slow. Sometimes painfully slow even. My interests are in anime and RPG and my devart site reflects my interest in computer programming, games, RPGs, and anime/manga. gauveldt.deviantart.com

gau_veldt The short and sweet answer: run the fan and vents (open the windows if you're not using AC), use fresh air rather than recirc (also prevents fogged windows during rainstorms or in the wintertime) and try defizzed ginger ale in addition to the milk...

Why can I still post photos in my discussion?

learnandearn @learnandearn (254) • China 24 Dec 06

That said members with ratings under 500 can't post photos in their discussions. Do I get the wrong meaning? Or just Mylot changes back.

gau_veldt Personally I think this new policy is intended to increase the gap between long time members and newcomers in order to discourage new members. I think mylot might be discovering they have too many people on their site and are starting to put policies in to...

gau_veldt Up here in temperate North America in the 50s of Lattitude there's plenty of snow. But more of it is melting year-to-year. We'll get big dumps of a foot to have it melting away within a month. Winters here aren't like they used to be. Green (or black)...

Have You Ever Used Powdered Milk and What do You Think of It?

ElusiveButterfly @ElusiveButterfly (45940) • United States 2 Jan 07

gau_veldt This is not a legitimate statement. Most systems verify your PIN by using a one-way encryption of the PIN and verifying it against the postencryption of the same PIN stored either on the card or at the bank. Becuase the encryption is one way you cannot...
