Ugh, you know I used to think AYW was a bright boy...not so much anymore :)
As we were discussing the cultural differences between the East and West with-in the past 500 years he starts talking about the Clovis "civilization."
For one the Clovis people lived in North America and for two they died out no later than 10,000 BPE (before present era). Oh yeah, they weren't a civilization. Why? Because civilization means city dwellers, the Clovis people were hunter gatherers who's primary tools were the Clovis arrow heads. They also lived in either caves or simple temporary man-made shelters.
Poor, poor straight man *cries* lmao

Who said being a rocket scientist can't be fun?
Lonnie Johnson who has a PhD in Science, M.S. in Nuclear Engineering and a B.S in Mechanical Engineering was the inventor of the "Super Soaker."
He holds over 80 patents with over 20 more pending.
To date the Super Soaker has generated over $1 Billion in sales since it's invention in 1990.
I had no idea :)

This just "clicked" with me. Isn't it interesting how a lot of the people who claim that they are being censored or singled out in the forums are the same people with the most forum posts? If you have more posts than 90% of everyone else then you are not being censored.
I've got a littler over 500 posts and I know of some folks who think I'm getting special treatment in the forum, how's that possible when you have more the twice the number of posts I have?
If your threads are being shut down maybe it's because you always bring up the exact same topic or because you try to twist other peoples words and ideas to fit your own person warped views. Ever stop to think that perhaps you're the one violating TOS or just not adding anything new to the overall discussion?
Grow up.

I can understand changing your screen name once, even twice but to always do it? It really should be against VR protocol to change your user name more than once every 6 months.
I never knew anything about this person till she down rated me for no reason. Now it seems as though she just can't stop and is doing it to my friends as well.
Other than being hit by a really, really, really large truck (to make sure it hits all of her) she should have her IP banned. True it's just a personal thing, I don't know that she's actually violated TOS but it's getting rather obnoxious.
You know I've never heard one good thing about her, from anyone, ever. There may be some folks who like her but I can't see why.
If you recall not to long ago I made an entry about how some peoples avatars/names just automatically made you not like them, sent an ill wind up your spine and made you feel like you had been anally violated....well she's one of them.
I'm sure (if she ever reads) entries like mine and other's just makes her all giddy, after-all it's her only reason for existence. Glad I could be of service :)

I've always wondered how much VR is worth, of course each year it gets more and more.
So last night I did some figures, low end and high end which came to a fairly accurate estimate. I figured it up on the projected revenue VR gets each year from premium memberships and avg. advertising. I didn't put in income from other products in the store because I don't figure them to be very high on average.
I'm not going to put the numbers up only because I think that would be stepping over some line and would just be rude. However, I will say that VR brings in a solid 5 digits and would be worth 6. Now I didn't estimate the cost of running the site but I'd imagine the pure profit margin (when you factor in how much work is put into it) is lower than average..which makes Cancer not only a smart computer guy but a very nice businessman. Nice as in not a greedy bastard.
Figures, opinion words etc are all based on my own assumptions.
Should any Admins think this is inappropriate please tell me n I'll remove it. I'm just really interested (to an ocd level) when it comes to numbers, possible numbers blah blah.
Now then, my left shoulder is hurting beyond uber bad (like seriously I think I've sliced into a nerve) so I'm going to get off here for a while.
Oh and it seems as though Cancer has fixed the ad problems on the Sci-Fi Section and it's working flawlessly, at least for me :)
Thank you Cancer, you rule!

I just sent this message to Cancer:
"I'm sure whatever problem you found has been fixed but it must not have been the issue I've been dealing with.
In fact I think it has actually gotten worse. I can't be in Sci-Fi for more than a few minutes without having some glitch happen. It seems to still be an issue with the ads and I have gotten messages/comments from other people telling me that they have had similar things happen to them.
Today I logged into Sci-Fi, saw I had a message but decided to go to the groups first. Got to the home page of Star of the North and was redirected to a Honda car search site (you know the ones where every link on the site is to another search generator) and couldn't use the 'back page button" I had to log out.
Logged out of Sci-Fi, logged into VR and saw that the message was from you saying the problem had been fixed. I think an ad company (strongly believe its the LM Network, at least thats the little trademark company name thingy in the ad corner) has embedded itself into Sci-Fi in such a way so whenever one of their rotations comes around they grab ya and start mucking up your computer. Later today I was also on my way to Star of the North when my bowser began to travel to multiple sites at once in rapid succession, had to have been at least 2 dozen and thats no exaggeration.
I know you are a very busy man and for the most part the Dark Network sites are some of the best online places a person go to. Mainly because of the lack of pop-up/embedded pop-up ads, random or sexual/dating ads etc but this issue is keeping me from being able to use Sci-Fi or even want to use it. The same for several other people as well. If there is anything I can do to help you mitigate this problem please let me know.
--Xzavier"
I really hope this thing gets worked out soon because I actually like Sci-Fi better than VR, over-all, because of the amount of scientific topicd...primarily in the Star of the North group :)
I dunno this is making mad on the one hand but on the other I want to do everything possible to help so I (and any others) can get back to enjoying SF Section.

STOP typing in all caps. Not only is it rude and impolite it also goes against the rules of grammar.
Slow down, separate your words, a lot is two words not one, irregardless isn't a word but, regardless is.
Is it really so difficult to take a few moments, think about what you're going to say and then say it with some dignity?
I never went passed the 7th grade in "normal" school, I'm dyslexic, I had to have a voice coach because of my inherent accent and I still have trouble with writing. Guess what, it may not be perfect but these words that flow by the typings of my fingers have done great things for me. Now, you go forth and use patience, care, dignity. This may "just be the internet" but I see at least one news story a day where someone either lost a job or was kept from getting one biased solely the idiotic behaviour of that person.

Am I the only one having major problems with the ads on the Sci-Fi Section!? Almost every day I'll get redirected to some advertising site, have my browser closed out, logged on to 10-20 sites in just a few seconds, my computer will freeze and have to be re-started....multiple times each day.
I've checked my computer to see what was wrong but there is NO problem on my end. I understand advertisers are very important to the Dark Network but so are premium members. I haven't had anywhere near the types of issues on VR just Sci-Fi.
I talked to Cancer about it the other day and he said he'd look into it and it probably had something to do with a new rotation he was working on. Today I logged into Sci-Fi, saw I had a message but decided to go to the groups. Got to the home page of Star of the North and was redirected to a Honda car search site (you know the ones where every link is to another search generator) and couldn't use the 'back page button" I had to log out.
Logged out of Sci-Fi logged into VR and saw that the message was from Cancer saying the problem had been fixed. I don't doubt the problem he found he fixed but I think an ad company (strongly believe its the LM Network, at least thats the little trademark company name thingy in the ad corner) has embedded itself into Sci-Fi so whenever one of their rotations comes around they grab ya and start mucking up your shi*t. Geez this stuff is making me mad!
Cancer, please help me lol I know there are much more pressing issues that need to be worked out but as long as these smaller ones keep popping up you'll never be able to fully get through the larger ones.
ARG! I guess I need to message him again, minus my language and aggravation of course. Despite what some people say Cancer is actually a very nice guy and uber smart.
Again, is anyone else having troubles with ads on the Sci-Fi Section!???????

Forum: The problem knowing who is under age and who is of age.
~~~Usually I'm the crotchety old guy yelling "hey kids get of my lawn" or in this case my profile however, I think the issue of age is really a moot point when it comes to the internet.
For one if a person wishes to engage in R-rated conversation they would do well to at least ask if the other person is over 18. If, by looking at a simple pic, you feel the urge to start horning it out then you probably lack the over all ethics to really worry about their age anyway.
Yes 15 year olds who put up slutty pictures deserve to get "creeps" dry humping their legs --online-- but, at the same time, an adult should have the ability to keep his (or her) pants on. Heck whatever happened to A/S/L before the naughty conversation?
Really, it boils down to morality and the total lack of it online.
I don't mind people having dirty convos, flirting, cybering or whatever but at least talk to the person for more than 2 minutes and learn something like age or even if they're interested.
Even I have engaged in "colourful" conversations with people but I have the wherewithal to say "hey are you 18?" AND it was on a site where sexuality was a given, heck I've been a feature member of gay.com for a month so far now lol.
Anyway the point I'm trying to make is this is not a site geared towards sexual conversation. If you are under age and start talking about sex (or putting up mature photos) then you have no right to get upset when you get hit on. If you are of adult age then you should be smart enough to ask.
I feel like I've actually had to repeat myself in this post to get it across. I mean seriously is the age issue really become such a problem folks can't handle themselves? I'm actually feeling nauseas. If your avatar is more than your face then you are not innocent, if a person dives into an adult conversation based solely on your face then they need to get slapped and I'm sorry.
No one should be forced to give their age publicly in an internet situation. If you think they should then you're probably the one at fault for being totally immature and nasty/gross.
Grow up people, seriously. Whorish children and ill-minded adults make me sick.~~~

Because it's so hard to believe a person when they've never given reason to pause? I am a gay, Christain male, how should I prove that?
As much as I enjoy VR I don't think a lot of the people I worked for would care to much for me being on here. Heck even my own family has greater issues that I would be on a "vampire site" then for the fact I am gay. Being a public hermit makes for better disguise than either of the extremes.
Like I've said before people with absolute faith need no poof, people with no faith (or in this case no trust) no proof will do.
Would you like to me tell you some super advanced theory? Na, you'd just hurt your head trying to understand it. Perhaps you'd like for me to send you a copy of a book I'm in? Na, I don't care enough to waste the time or trees.
Point is, you don't believe me that's fine (rather glad you at least said so instead of calling me an outright liar and then blocking). I'm not here to please everyone. Several dozen individuals have expressed such doubt of those 2 are absolute ass wipes who aren't worthy of being covered in doggie doo (yeah you know who you are) and then there's you. I think I can tolerate 1 individual with an IQ greater than 75 doubting me (see I can be nice lol). Besides this is VR.
Doesn't my portfolio have a pic containing diplomas and other academic accomplishments?

Why on Earth would someone brag about having an IQ of less than 95? Why would you brag about having an IQ of less than 120 let alone 95?
No, I'm not being some arrogant prick but seriously if your IQ is less than 120, don't post it on your profile or in your journal. It doesn't mean your stupid or slow, unless of course your bragging then you are dumb. There is nothing wrong with being an average person, many of my friends are, but being over joyed for a 120(-) IQ is the same as me bragging about my English. I don't have the best syntax, spelling or other grammatical dillies but it's not the worst therefore I don't brag about it being average (for an American lol).

Ok the ads on VR and Sci-Fi are really starting to annoy me. The biggest issue with some of the VR ads are the ones that 'pop-up' like for the movie 'Hancock.' What ever happened to the no pop-up rule?
The ads on Sci-Fi are actually starting to piss me off. At least once a day, while on Sci-Fi, my IE window will get closed out or my computer will freeze or I'll get redirected to some god awful site that has nothing to do with anything.
I enjoy the Sci-Fi section a bit to much but now it's to the point where I won't even go there. Why use a site thats going to f*k your computer up? I know Cancer is doing some special rotational thingy and using Sci-Fi as testing grounds but seriously...!
Enough is enough with these damnedable ads. With all the talk about making the playing field level both for status and for the advertisers what good is it going to do if people can't use the site? No I'm not questioning Cancer or how he does his job. I am questioning the *seemingly* problematic situation.
I wonder how many other people are having the same issues?

"MY name is unknown and is a need to know thing. And u don't NEED to know. I 'm pretty much one of those rare cases where i'm just plain powerful. My mom was a very evil demon and my dad....well its unkown who he is. But this does not stop me from throwing my pwers around when someone is in my face. i'm mainly looking for a mate and a campanion and if i can ....to start kind of a family group. I would call it something cool. well enjoy my page and please don't comment if ur going to be rude."
Are you freaking kidding me here!? Hun, 15 hits of acid is more than enough for a single night. You're just plain powerful? Like what are you going to put a hex on me so the next time I go out clubbing I won't be able to fit into my size 28 jeans and will have to wear the next size up?
Looking for a mate online..I can understand having that option, the possibility of meeting "the one" but come on. Go hang out at Hot Topic and I'm sure the perfect Lycan-Vampyre hybrid with demon blood and dark soul stirring eyes will find your devastatingly powerful and evil heart.
"I would call it something cool" How about ~~The Most High and Serene House of Evilly Demented Self Delusional Cutters~~
Don't get me wrong I like Hot Topic and I don't think cutting is a funny matter but people you know I'm right on this one lol.

The choice to leave Lux was my own. It was never intended for me to be there permanently at first but it did evolve into that. I am very thankful that I was given the opportunity to be apart of Lux and I got to meet some great new people.
I was able to learn more about how different societies work from the inside and I hope I was at least of some value to them.
Things may not have worked out exactly to plan however, that is the nature of life. The members of Lux are wonderful people.
At this point in time in my real life and my life here on VR the best course of action was to join the Festival of Decay. I feel that I will be able to contribute in more diverse ways, be able to learn in other ways and have a more tailored environment to my personality and disposition.
There are a few of you (you know who you are) that may be dealing with a lot of VR stress in general and might think that I am upset, harbor ill feelings, etc but that is not the case.
I've been in A LOT of Covens and the only one I regret being in was the first, over 2 years ago. I try very hard to not let simple things like an online community get in the way of friendships regardless of what form they may come in.
And now that I'm seeming to ramble I'll spare your eyes and end this lol.

Although there are a lot of unknowns for the true size and composition of the universe let us make some assumptions with current data.
If the universe were a cube it would be about 2.7x10^31 cubic light years in volume.
If we use the mean density of the sun (1,410kg/m3) then the universe would weigh on the order of 1.6x10^60 kilograms.
Of course despite this amount only 0.0000000000000000000042% of the universe contains any matter.
These figures only include normal matter (electrons, protons, atoms etc) not dark matter which comprises up to 90% of the known universe.

There is also what is called a "reservoir effect" where significant variations of the ratio of present day 14C to 12C are recognized (as compared to the average ratio in the overall biosphere). Since the oceans have lower levels of carbon 14 compared to the atmosphere, most living marine creatures date at least several hundred years old. Also, because of local thermal vents that spew out large quantities of carbon 12, certain aquatic mosses living in Iceland date as old as 6,000 to 8,000 years via the carbon 14 dating method. And, in Nevada, living snails have apparent carbon 14 ages up to 27,000 years old. Marine shells in Hawaii show younger dates if preserved in volcanic ash vs. limestone. 17 Also, research has shown the ancient peat reveals an marked decrease in carbon 14 ratios at lower and lower levels (i.e., decreased carbon 14 with older age well beyond what would be expected with radioactive decay).17
