Hey cr0bar, tell us how you realy feel about the idiots. Dont hold anything back. Im starting to think your cursed. Where ever you try to bring something worthwhile to the net, people just try to fuck you. All i can say is keep up the good work and spread the word about these morons that took your money and then bent you over.

Uhm... About the Netscape thing... The problem with Sole IE support is Simple for me. I suggest you try reading your page while in linux. As it is commonly using Netscape as a browser (lynx being a moot point for detnet) Things look surprisingly, freakishly, and annoyingly small. I have good eye sight, but when letters meld into one another something is seriously wrong.It's Not an I hate mirco$haft thing. I believe IE does run faster than Netscape, however netscape is Linux capable, and it's ftp runs. IE's ftp sucks arss. They both have strengths, but for those of us who use linux, Netscape support is needed. I do suggest someone looks into a possible fix for this, like a netscape version of the main page. or soemthing. Anywho, later.

It's what you do when you're not constantly online or playing Quake. Not that I have much experience doing anything else.
Posted by cr0bar on May 18 2000,11:07
Believe me, I fully intend to iron out all the bugs on the site between Netscape and IE. I just haven't found the time....How do I feel about Superb? I've started a thread..... ;-) ------------------

[B]
Nearly ALL websites have small font w/ Netscape for Linux, that's always been that way (for me at least) way back when I used some old version of Red Hat (4.2?) and it's still going on with the newest version of Red Hat and Netscape installed on my work computer. It's not just det.net that looks fucked up in Netscape on Linux, they all do.------------------

I will attest to that, eng_man. Just about ever site in linux with nutscrape has itty bitty text.
Posted by eng_man on May 18 2000,20:51
The only "workaround" I've found is setting the font to some ass-high number like 18. Even then the text is about size 10 on a Windows machine.AH HA! The REAL reason everyone doesn't use Linux ... the font looks like ass in Netscape. Damn I'm good. ------------------

Yep, that be it. I just got through reading the Superb rant, and realized that whatever semblance of a life I had, will be wasted forever in my quest for vengeance or some such shit. Ah well, there's always my dreams.

Wow, I got bumped up to "l33t hax0r"! What's the magic number cr0? I lost count at 20.
Posted by eng_man on May 19 2000,00:01
You know cr0 isn't gonna tell everyone what the numbers are, then the BBS will just get spammed with people trying to get a certain number of post so it'll change their status.I say leave it alone, you'll move up when you're good and ready =) ------------------

What do you mean "when you're not constantly online"? Are you trying to say there are other things other than the internet that people use? Wow, i wonder if theres a website about that...
Posted by Anztac on May 19 2000,05:20
There are other things besides the net, well I've heard of such things in chatting in Quake. ------------------

"It is known that there are an infinite number of worlds, simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them to be in. However, not every one of them is inhabited. Therefore, there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the Universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the whole Universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely the products of a deranged imagination."

It's true. You start to think like IRC. The net is sucking us in Neo, and I don't know what it's going to do ...Like my friend the other day reminded me once about when someone referred to talking as "face-mail" ... somethings going wrong ... Come on, how many people have said lol in real life? I've come so close so many times ...  ------------------

How to get a life.Step 1) (the hardest) Turn the frickin' puter' off. Just for a few hours at first, then gradually up to a day at a time. Step 2) You'll now find yourself bored at first. A good place to start is a playground. Take a friend, or, if you still don't have friends yet, a family member. Try the teeter-totter or the swings. They're fun - yes, I'm being absolutly serious. Step 3) Go into public places where you can find friendly people. Bars are a common meeting ground, but I suggest a club of some sort that you have interest in. They're usually more desperate for intelligent people and leadership. Also, churches tend to be highly fulfilling and full of open people. Step 4) Yes, you can continue using the computer. But keep cutting down... maybe only to an hour or two each day. Things will gain momentum as you meet more people, and eventually you'll be in full possesion of your new life. Treat it carefully, for it's hard to regain if you lose it somewhere. Then come back to detnet and post your success story to motivate others.

I got a life, it's so cool. What I did: I got a job that let me play on my computer all day, but that's not what did it, I have a t-1 at work, and dial up at home, that's deterrant enough. So, I play on the computer all day and then there's nothing new to look at when I get home, unless you get into pr0n, but the thing is, that's all done late at night, so the time between work and ritualistic pr0n is the time you spend with people you know, it worked for me, but i don't know if it will work for you.------------------

You may need to bring in outside help. Try calling an electrician to cut the power off to your house for a few hours.
Posted by Kuros on May 25 2000,09:59
an hour on the net is an hour wasted, when you could be doing something else like going to the gym ... saying that though I always end up geeking all afternoon.has there ever been an l33t hax0r who works out ??

ahh now i know my problem
Posted by jrh1406 on May 25 2000,17:55
Time away from my computer? hah, i work a 12 hour shift, and then i go home and sleep, occasionally i get some time to hang out with friends, but usually i just hop on my computer to get ahold of friends who are too far away to hang out with.

Cr0, when a thread is dead for say five days, can it be set so it stays dead? it wasn't a bad thread, but that's five minutes of my life i spent to read old news because of one recent post. now on with life.
Posted by adeadlyintegral on Jun. 05 2000,05:40
how do you socialize at bars and clubs? i've never figured that one out, but it seems a simpler question to answer than how to get a life. in my experience there's just been a whole bunch of people crowded in together, 1/2 of them drunk, and since i'm not 21 i can't get drunk(in public, safely) which just pisses me off when i'm surrounded by happy drunk people... :-/

just look at the date last posted.or u can just remember: "Hey that thread was fucked, I won't go there anymore" ------------------
vegemite rocks!!! Remember, its all your fault.
Posted by Nero on Jun. 14 2000,14:23
That's exactly my point. I posted that ten days ago. The last post said June 4, until there was another reply. I was watching Fight Club yesterday so I wasn't online. Then when I got back today there was "Idiots" with a last post of June 14. I thought maybe there was something worthwhile. I was mistaken.
