*Sigh* It seems that the mods will never be able to win. We close threads that go off-topic and get told that we're spoil sports, so then we leave a thread open so that it can go off-topic and we get told that we're not doing our jobs. :(

Nah, it's kinda still on topic Int :)

The Thread is doing a decent job in revealing personalities

There will always be complainers.

Listen to those in favor of freedoms as long as the outcome doesn't damage the board more than being restrictive.

This thread is perfectly fine, as is that other thread *wink wink* where things allegedly went off topic.

Can't please everybody, nor should you try. This thread is a good thing. (Y)

I thought he was being sarcastic :/ ?

Sarcasm is lost on the internet :p

It's a meta data problem.

The medium's (internet) "filesystem" cannot hold the extra information (sarcasm tags), hence you need to declare sarcasm in the file itself - in its content, however that's gonna look like sh*t (like putting a joke's explanation right between the words (like here)) - therefore many people try to avoid using them inline.

Nope...Rappy's got that one too. In fact I think he's got all of them. (Insert facepalm pic)

Does Rappy have a framed Apple Shoping Bag hanging on his wall at his house?

Or the box packaging for every apple product he's ever owned? (Including the cellophane)

Or put OS X on a netbook (Hackintosh)?

I bought an RC Helicopter for my little half brother and it says in big letters on the box 'IT GIVES INFINITE PLEASURE'

Made me laugh. :rofl:

:laugh: I bought an RC Helicopter from eBuyer a couple years back, was impatient waiting for batteries to charge and broke the blades playing with it in the house,

Eventually took it out to a field with partially charged batteries in the remote and full batteries in the helicopter...... pressed UP

I still have the remote

Store sarcasm in parity bits!

I think it's time for a thunderdome. Rappy and you can enter to work things out. :)

Charisma can play Tina Turner's part.

You guys are doing good. How can a topic go off topic in general discussion? Just remember, you can't please everybody.

    • Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/
    • This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store
    • Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
