That's the sad part. There aren't many people out there with the balls to actually go through with such things. There really needs to be more of them to make a further demonstration to society.

Blood related or not, I don't see an issue with an attraction to a relative in that regard. The whole taboo nature of it for some can be quite a turn on. My only advice is to be careful at just how far you go because you don't want to end up creating a potential problem, or otherwise awkward situation. That being said though, as long as you're careful about it, view all you want. It's only natural

In that case, I think discussing other options in private is at least worth taking a look at. You can choose to take an option, or to pass on all options. Either way, I won't be offended since I realize that not all users have access to the same resources, whether they're financial, hardware/software, internet connection, or otherwise. I also realize that not all users will share the same opinion with respect to any given subject.

I will PM you to start the ball rolling into looking at some other "alternative" options that are available for you.

Having a slower connection than you myself, I have resorted to a somewhat different tactic to keep my ratio up. I think this may work in your case since you have two connections. In my case, I can double my single connection, thereby effectively making it two connections effectively. I've managed to keep my ratio in good standing for some time by taking one computer on the one line and exclusively dedicating it to seeding my completed downloads, or in some cases, uploading a new torrent. The other machine, effectively on the "other" connection I use to download material, or in some cases, upload material when my other torrents are reaching my max cap of approximately 35kb/s.

Effectively, this provides me a way of being able to continue to have my ratio grow, even when I am not online. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to tell you what to do, I am merely throwing this concept out as an idea of a way to help. I've found when I leave all of my torrents seeding, between them all, I can manage to keep a steady speed going. For me, this is the major key to keeping my ratio up. The one thing to keep in mind is that it doesn't matter which torrent is being uploaded, just that any torrent is being uploaded. It creates a bit of a trade-off. Where I may not get as much upload credit on some torrents as I would like, by leaving them seeding gives me the opportunity to consistently crank out the maximum speed I can reach at all times, thereby driving my ratio up while doing nothing in return.

If you'd like, I can help you get setup with such a system so that you can take advantage of the fact that you have two connections. I think this would greatly help your ratio overall. If you wanted to take advantage of this system, I think it would be beneficial for you to upload new torrents from one connection, then move them to the "seed machine" after they've caught on and use that other connection for downloads. Once downloads are complete, the implication would be to copy or move them over to the "seed machine" to continue seeding them. Eventually, this process would get easier, the more torrents that you collect. Think of it as more of a traffic management system.

The only down side to this is that doing so in large amounts (i.e. saving ALL torrents) eventually does require a great deal of hard drive space, which I realize may be a limitation since even you have stated that not all users have the financial backing to be able to have access to the same resources. If this is simply not doable for you, I still have a few other "options" as it were that you may find useful. Each "option" is intended with the sole purpose of getting your ratio as high as possible as fast as possible, but each one has a different "down fall" as it were.

@ballard1:

So what's with all the music uploads which clearly have nothing to do with GAY at all?

Unlike video where you have a "visual" element, it is not possible to portray a "gay" theme in music, short of making gay reference in the lyric (if any). For this reason, it is not possible to classify music uploads, therefore there is no such restriction on uploads of music only. Music videos on the other hand are a whole other ball of wax and are a no no.

That's pretty sad. Personally, I think things should be done the "old fashioned" in the sense that saying "I won't work along side gays" would be classified as the same as saying "I won't work along side blacks" for example. This "treatment" would consist of one bullet… delivered straight to the head. Such intolerance is simply unacceptable, especially at this day and age. Quite frankly, if it doesn't physically affect you in any way, why the f*** should it be an issue in the first place?

Perhaps what is in order is a Martin Luther King of gay rights... for a man with a dream combined with the acts of a few (e.g. Rosa Parks) can really go a long way.

pathetic… simply pathetic.

:funny2: :rotfl:

I am officially bitching about the Ontario DriveClean program. My car has just proven that it is nothing more than a cash grab. According to my mechanic, who is by the way VERY reputable (over 20 years working on family cars, without a problem), my engine has NEVER seen a tune up of any form. The car now has 283,000kms (176,000mi) and is very overdue for an oil change. My plates were due to expire at the end of the day today and in order to renew them this year, the government requires under the DriveClean program that I subject my car to an eTest first. From a cold engine, overdue for an oil change, and never getting a tune up, my car produced THIS:

Given the condition of my car and the fact that it is in dyer need of a tune up, it in theory should never have stood a chance in hell of passing this test to renew the plates, yet as you can see, it not only passed, but it passed with flying colours. Can anyone provide an explanation other than the eTest is just another government cash grab?

I personally use NCH VideoPad Video Editor, which is available on the tracker here.

In the interest of being a "good Samaritan", I have cast my vote

HOT! Got ant more of this stuff?

NICE!! I like the stuff you're adding there

Ah. That explains a lot actually

It was me that removed it. I have this thing about people asking for seed bonus points in a torrent upload. When I see it, I remove the begging. Call me a prick if you must, but I just think torrents look better without begging for SBP

@pigtucket:

So, is this considered over the line?  :cheesy2:

That's kind of funny actually.

At least they have enough ethic to not have to make users put up a fight for what is right.

Forgive my ignorance[nb]The lack of education or knowledge of a subject[/nb], but what exactly is raptured?

I would certainly hope so on the principle that you should not have to pay for a service that you are unable to receive.

Windows 7 comes with a built in tool called "Snipping Tool", formerly known in the beta and RC versions as "Snip-It". I have used this personally a few times to grab screen shots of videos. Play the video, then pause it at your desired point and wait for the controls to disappear. From there, open the snipping tool and select the video. You can find this in the following location:

Start > All Programs > Accessories > Snipping Tool

It's a little primitive, but it works.
