This discussion is dedicated to, and endowed with the spirit of, TI99a and all those of like mind, who seem to enjoy flame wars.
Go to it, boys and girls; this is your space.
Enjoy.

this would work better if you gave them something to fight over.
like the US being hell on earth. ;)

I've no doubt but that they'll find more than ample pretexts for getting stupid, without our encouragement.
However, if you hold otherwise, far be it from me to stand in your way of offering suggestion topics.
Happy Decoration Day.

what's that?
it's just a monday here.

one of the funniest things I have seen in a long time from the British carrier to the French when they had their little labor strike.

Hell is a professional organization. The US is run by a couple of amateurs.
And besides, shooting a lawyer, like the Vice-Amateur did a little while back, puts one on the fast track to sainthood, which would render him ineligible for service in the Underworld. At least that would be a better reason than why he was declared ineligible for service in Vietnam.

you were going to retort that [b]Earth is Hell[/b].
Perhap's we're both right!

The original name was based on the old tradition of laying flowers on the graves of fallen soldiers.
Down here, it's also the unofficial start of Summer, so that the offical day of observance is now always scheduled for a Monday, so as to create a 3-day weekend.
This is the weekend that many Canadians begin streaming into southern New Jersey for their vacations.

"The difficult we do immediately; the impossible takes a little bit working."
We're working on that, but are quite open to suggestions, as so far the quantum uncertainty force field is proving rather unstable, and it would'nt do to have all of us trapped here with them.
by tig2
I don't want to be stuck with a bunch of flamers. That would be no fun. And imagine the bloodshed!
Better to work out that instability issue first!
by deepsand
Theoretically, such is possible. The feasability problems are twofold, and of no mean measure.
1) How to produce an energy level sufficient to isolate gluons from all other particles; and,
2) How to then confine them to this thread.
Any thoughts?

and then use their IP address to not let them post to any discussion but this one.
Either that or call it "Ten words or less: Windooz rewls becuz... " and then carry on as above.
Or "Free pr0n".
Or "Come to this discussion to read a special love letter just to you."
Or "Free copy of Windows Vista here!"
Or "Help me get my money out of the bank and I'll give you $10 million. Come to this discussion to find out how."
Or... well, you get the point.
P.S. To the RIAA: I named this post what I did just to irritate you. May you all die of horribly painful scrotal cancers. Your female employees, too. Have a nice day.

Free downloads of music, games, videos, movies, porn, software, [i]ad infinitum[/i].
It works pretty well for police stings, so it does merit serious consideration.
As for the tracking mechanism, as many probably have dynamic IPs at home, as well as being roamers, we can't count of IP addresses alone for identification purposes. Nor can we rely on persistent cookies, as they can be easily blocked. And, TR Member accounts are easily obtained, so that method of identification alone won't work either.
It seems that we need to take a multi-pronged approach, including all of the above [b]plus[/b] a Trojan, installed in a time-phased manner, such as follows:
1) Real product is made available for downloading;
2) Downloads are restricted to 1 per day;
3) Based on one's download history, certain future downloads are offered in advance, but available to that user on a specified day of the week only;
4) The downloads contain a Trojan;
5) Said Trojan installs tracking data in an OS dependant area unaccessible to all but the most sophisticated users; e.g., in Windows, in the Protected Storage area;
6) Eventually, after a sufficient amount of tracking data is accumulated, so as to indicate that all machines used by that user have most likely been identified, those machines are then perpetually routed to the desired quarantine area on TR.
As noted above, this tracking method would be used in conjuction with persistent cookies, IP addresses and TR Member Account identication.

We're stuck. I'm having problems opening thread posts. I can't see a way that we will find an energy source capable of isolating gluons. Flamers hot air? I don't know.
Once isolated however, they should be addressable. I think. But they should be. Can't we just send them to the real flamers? None of them have shown up here yet.
Maybe the fact that they have a place of their own to go upsets them.
Good. Maybe we have it figured out already...
by deepsand
However, nighthawk's above post did give me a fresh perspective, resulting in a methodolgy that may prove viable, provided that TR's cooperation can be enlisted.
As for problems opening posts, the same's been haapening here all day long. Between 404's and invisible posts, it's been an exceedingly frustrating day.

that recently erupted at another discussion, centering around a user by the name TI99a.
If you're interested, see

And, yes, the TI-99 was an excellent hacker's (in the original sense of the word) box Somewhere in my basement I have the backbone of one, patiently awaiting restoration.

May 21st.
or the Monday following
by jamesrl
Queen Victoria was born on May 24, 1819. The day is celebrated on the Monday in May prior to the 25th of May. Before Victoria Day, Empire day was celebrated in May. (In Ontario we used to call it the May two four weekend - a two four being a 24 pack of beer.)
Our version of Veteran's day is celebrated on November 11, the day the first World War ended. Canada really grew from a former colony to an independant nation during that conflict.

until the "Stop making stupid posts" rally. I'll find something more suitable in a week or so.
Maybe the lazy frog!
by deepsand
And, as usual, there's no charge to you.
Yet.

Flaming, for me, is immediate. I do it right at the point where the poster deserved it, not in some separated fireproof area where it won't be read.
How could you be so STUPID!
:p
