Been busy, just got back today (see my post in the lounge.) But i will. I just need to get some sleep to get a profile pic that'll look decent. I mean right now think Amy Winehouse on a bad day...translucent skin, rat's nest hair. That's pretty much what i look like right now. Roswell

Data? Or are you just throwing out numbers? Without the date you're just another person with an opionion. I think as far as people into "alternative sexuality" as you call it being into B&D, they're just more open an not afraid to go public with it. Once you've come out of the closet and declared yourself gay, what's a little fetish activity to admit to?
Data, although i admit i can't give a very objective answer based on people i know of, since they are in no way the average population. As far as the "alternative sexuality" and S&M, i'm talking about the two as separate things. The first, along with gender disassociation being as sort of a psychological "gender" profile. I see a person's gender as three different things, 1) genetic/physical gender, 2) gender of the person't mind (psychological), and 3) sexual orientation. So a person't gender can be any odd combination of the three. When i referred to S&M, that is no longer a part of their "gender", but more related to their sexuality, which may or may not relate to the abuse. What i'm saying is that an avarage person will not have S&M tendencies without some sort of an event to trigger it while their mind it still forming. An average person growing up in a sheltered lifestyle will not normally have those tendencies or enjoy such behavior. Roswell

Hey Kyle! How's it been? And regarding that minute, haven't you spent hundreds of hours over the last four years just trolling? So that minute shouldn't be an issue. ;P I've spent more than that (~20 minutes altogether) writing this, trying to wrap a somewhat warped topic into a post that won't have everyone giving me a weird look, even though there's still room for it to be interpreted that way...

OK...so what is the question?
Heh...i appologise for being a bit verbose and putting the "question" a paragraph away... but that's why the quotes are in place... because it's not really a question, but more of a background on what i was thinking about and would like to have serving as a basis of this discussion. Roswell

Although this may come off as a bit of a disreputable question/topic, i've intended this to be approached as a more scientific discussion, if that is at all possible here, with the resident Soapboxians being used to the current scope of topics, which i believe needs to be given some rest, as they've become a little too stale. I remember quite fondly the psych-ology/iatry discussions that have been a staple of a forum i've used to call me "home" three or four years ago, until the place had broken up and i left along with many others. One of the members the discussions revolved around was actually studying for his PhD in Psychology which made conversations like this much more interesting. I doubt we have anyone like that here, but that shouldn't make this any less interesting, as the sheer number of interesting people here should make up for the difference in one way or another. :laugh: And finally the "question"... Just to warn you, the human mind has always been of interest to me and i tend to think about and analyse the things i see, often regardless of how "unsightly" their nature might be to the avarage person. Even if it hadn't helped me better understand the myself and those around me, at the very least it keeps me from getting bored ;). One of the things that i've seen and kinda taken note of, is that many people that have S&M tendencies and tend to have gender disassociation/alternate sexuality, often have suffered sexual abuse as children. To be more precise, i've noticed that if there's any two of these "traits" present, there's something of a 70% chance of the third being present as well, regardless of which i'm aware of at first. While i realize that there's many people out there that have either one of these traits alone and not even a hint of others, i still notice that they often come up together, and i've wondered for some time as to which one is the "chicken" and which is the "egg", and which typically appears first. And i do realize that with this thread i risk getting cast into hell by certain Soapbox ideologues, but i've decided it's worth the risk really...they don't own this place on Sundays, while they are somewhere else ;P Roswell :)

:omg: This is the first time i've dropped by in a month or two and i see everything seems to have been updated. My first clue was actually that it freezes (and sometimes crashes) my mobile, though when it does load, it looks awful and still maxes out the memory, though now the CPU as well (too many DOM items?), killing all the cookes and autocompletes in the phone's memory, sometimes causing it to reboot outright. Thus I've not been able to set the proper comments-per-page length or log in, as a cookie is not getting set. This isn't so much a complaint as it is an observation, since i know that Chris must still be busy ironing out other more important bugs. Roswell :-D P.S. After a minute of looking around i can see his place is still a work in progress...judging by the awful lack of margins everywhere.

VGA to USB ? What does that go into ?
Not sure... The USB end is a "blade" (PC end) type connector, and the other plugs either straight into the video card or the monitor, but it's only about a foot long.

I have piles and piles of cables, cases, CD drives, you name it. Hard to say what is strange, I doubt I can beat VGA->USB I do have the cable that my old matrox card needed to be dual head.
I'm a hoarder, so at one point i've probably had as much stuff as you do (before we moved), so i can understand. The only stuff i willingly get rid of is neither old, interesting and rare enough, nor still usable by me. The things i've been able to keep thru the move are most of my cables (i still can't find my serial and two sets of parallel :( ), and heatsinks of all shapes and sizes, as well as all the working (or expensive but broken) computers. The 8X CD-ROM drive had to go:laugh: Roswell

I recently came across a VGA to USB adapter. Not quite sure what it's for, but it may be useful someday i guess. I used to also have an internal tape drive circa '91 that used a "clip" type floppy cable. I had a few other things, but i don't remember anymore, though nearly everything i wouldn't intentionally buy is salvage stuff. Roswell :)

You can just patch a copy of Leopard. It should still be somewhere out there in the torrents, so be sure to check on Demonoid. The kernel patches are easy to come by, both the vanilla pre-/post-patch (link in BrasilMac's tutorial <google>) and the AMD+SSE2 in case your hardware isn't directly compatible. Try it, if you like it, buy your own copy. Roswell
