As the Mexicans say, Feliz Navidad

:lmao: The same reults would not hold true in Canada. 95% of the population here don't even blink an eye on the subject. It's interesting how some things can change so much, depending on your geographical region.

I'm fairly sure it would be the fetish category being as they're voyeur/spycam type videos…. That and just knowing stealfire's interest in content to a certain degree, it wouldn't surprise me if it is.

fancydude: I can guide you through the upload process so that you can figure out how it works. I'm frequently in the chat as well.

As for the education level of some people, never let that stand in the way. I myself was kicked out of highschool part way through my first semester of Grade 11, yet when I was working at Microsoft (they still don't know I never actually graduated), I'd point out things to some of their big wig techie guys with all kinds of papers to say they know what they know and they were pretty well always in awe at what I was able to find for them.

Then again take my father for example. He's been working in automotive for years now as an industrial engineer. Here's the most interesting part… He as well is a highschool dropout. He managed to get his way into such positions the same way I did... Tell things as they are and when a problem presents itself, use simple logic to solve it....

Bottom line is that you can have all the education in the world and still not have an f'ing clue what you're doing... By the same token, you can have no "official" education and know more than the professionals. It's kind of funny how that seems to work out.

YEE HAW!!!

If you're far enough south in the US, you'll likely have a whole different appreciation for that statement.

On the heels of World AIDS Day comes a stunning medical breakthrough: Doctors believe an HIV-positive man who underwent a stem cell transplant has been cured as a result of the procedure.

Timothy Ray Brown, also known as the "Berlin Patient," received the transplant in 2007 as part of a lengthy treatment course for leukemia. His doctors recently published a report in the journal Blood affirming that the results of extensive testing "strongly suggest that cure of HIV infection has been achieved."

Brown's case paves a path for constructing a permanent cure for HIV through genetically-engineered stem cells.

Last week, Time named another AIDS-related discovery to its list of the Top 10 Medical Breakthroughs of 2010. Recent studies show that healthy individuals who take antiretrovirals, medicine commonly prescribed for treating HIV, can reduce their risk of contracting the disease by up to 73 percent.

While these developments by no means prove a cure for the virus has been found, they can certainly provide hope for the more than 33 million people living with HIV worldwide. Alongside such findings, global efforts to combat the epidemic have accelerated as of late, with new initiatives emerging in the Philippines and South Africa this week.

@cumeaternc:

Reminds me of Jim Carrey in Liar Liar. :rotfl:

:rotfl: Now that you mention it… it does :rotfl:

;D

:rotfl: So gross yet so funny all at the same time….

I have a hard enough time with small little needles stabbing into me… I can't say that I'm apposed to them, but there's no way in hell I could bring myself to actually get one.

I cannot seem to find where it was posted, but there is a simple answer for that. The measurement that your torrent client provides you with is compiled by a calculation of the content that your actual torrent client has uploaded and downloaded for each torrent. In this calculation, there is some traffic that does get uploaded and downloaded at certain times that is not actual torrent content. This results in a difference between what your torrent client shows and what the tracker shows. When the tracker calculates your ratio, it calculates it based on the actual torrent content data uploaded or downloaded, and does not take into account other traffic that will pass through your client. Generally, this will result in a slightly higher number set in your torrent program than will show on the tracker in general.

That being said however, the difference is not usually a whole lot. I think perhaps attaching screen shots or uploading them to BitBucket may be a little more helpful. If there indeed is a large discrepancy, more technical information may be required such as your operating system (including 32 or 64 bit) and torrent program may be required. As a general rule, it never hurts any to post as much detail on the matter as possible as it may make a difference in some cases and help get a better resolution to any technical problem you may experience.

In other words, we're an elite group of people who aren't yet acknowledged by most of the world.

If you're trying to upload a DVD-R, you would do it with the VIDEO_TS folder the same way you would a regular torrent. The only stipulation is that eventually, your torrent will get moved to the DVD-R category as you may not be able to upload directly to that category.

We strive for excellence

mgr is definitely a sharp one. When you're here for a while, you'll get to learn we're all one big happy family.

YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY

:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: TOO FUNNY  :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

It's kind of pathetic the way some people so ignorantly and insecurely handle such things in such outrageous ways. It's almost as bad as wanting to ban a Shirley Temple movie because she was not just dancing with, but also holding hands with Mr. Bojangles. Whether it be hate by race, or hate by another pre-determined characteristic, it's all the same thing. Some people should just surcome to "natural selection".

:thankyou: tiptoe… That indeed does shed some more light on things

I agree with Uwe's point, however there is one possible downside to doing so that I can forsee. If users are able to search and find DVD-R torrents, but not being able to download them, this could open a whole new can of worms in helpdesk, chat, etc pertaining to why they're not able to download the DVD-R torrents. It is after all a well known fact that most users do not bother to read a lot of things (such as the rules and/or the forums).

That being said, I'm not sure how difficult the re-scripting of the page would be. If it's something that's in a CSS, as apposed to within the torrent page itself, I'm thinking there would be some technical back-end things that would require a lot of power in order to change. Perhaps mgr can shed some light on as to whether such a modification would be feasable to begin with.

If I'm not mistaken any user can upload or download from the DVD-R category, however they must be a Power User in order to search for the content.
