I don't think I have. anyway, does my new avatar looks good?  Cool
3242  Other / Meta / Re: Avatars re-enabled on: April 02, 2015, 05:51:37 PM
woot, looks like it's working properly now. thanks for your hard work (and joke), theymos.  Smiley

All of the old members or people who have accounts with avatars as collateral might be a little bit angry about this.

I don't think there's many of them. besides, account with an avatar is usually owned by an old and trusted member... I think
3243  Other / Meta / Re: Avatars re-enabled on: April 02, 2015, 03:55:00 PM
well, now we know that removing and re-uploading the avatars will not work. tried it and I ended up with this insulting avatar instead  Sad

can't find anything other than gif.. there's some SMF scripts but I'm sure you have to be an admin to do that.

Animals always shows their emotion more than humans do. it's just that not all of their kinds know what "gratitude" is.
You are personifying the shit out of these dogs. Dogs don't understand death very well, they often stay with the dead body of a human for days waiting for him/her to wake up.

what? I didn't say they understand anything...
I said they always shows their emotions better because they're not smart enough keep secrets.
3246  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Pack of Stray Dogs Stand Guard at Animal Lover's Funeral on: April 02, 2015, 03:03:51 PM
poor dogs... they just lost their caretaker.  Sad

you mean like automatic posts? where you can just write a post now and set a timer so that it would be posted automatically when the countdown ends?

nope, it's not possible on this forum, I think
3248  Other / Meta / Re: Avatars re-enabled on: April 02, 2015, 02:40:51 PM
Is my profile a meme too? To me it looks like how I actually put it as, so how would I know what picture is replaced it.

Log of your forum account and take a look at some of your post and you will see your meme avatar.  Wink
Ahh ok so to yourself you still see your avatar, which is pretty much all I care about (I can easily find and identify my post while scrolling through)

Exactly, only you will see your avatar. All the other community will see an "april fool avatar"  Grin.

So when will the others get to see my original avatar instead of the april fools one?

no one knows when. I think theymos will fix it as soon as he goes online.

anyway just quit complaining, people. we never used avatars for a long time, few more hours of waiting wouldn't be a problem, right?  Wink
3249  Other / Meta / Re: Avatars re-enabled on: April 02, 2015, 02:26:51 PM
Please do not allow animated avatars in the future, I find them to be a big "LOOK AT ME" thing

it's already not allowed from the start. it's just something went wrong and user was able to upload .gif avatars, buy theymos already fixed it and removed the existing .gif avatars.
3250  Other / Meta / Re: What is happened to the forum? on: April 02, 2015, 02:24:26 PM
Actually, The DDoS happened almost exactly one hour after a new bitcoin exchange called Mineral.com launched. and apparently the people at GAW are involved in it, even though they denied it.

this is just an observation, however. not saying that they did it.  Kiss

Avatars going back to normal is the real April fools joke, you are stuck with meme avatars.

well then, I guess we'll be seeing a lot of Spongebob around..  Grin

..but seriously?
3252  Other / Meta / Re: Avatars re-enabled on: April 02, 2015, 01:53:55 PM
just relax, guys. I'm sure Theymos will fix it as soon as he log in.

but the plane's system is susceptible to hacking. so the terrorists wouldn't need to convince themselves to get on a plane and crash it if their demands isn't met.
compared to very rare occurrences where a pilot is a suicidal maniac, cyber attacks on the plane's autopilot system is more dangerous and numerous, don't you think?

seriously? no such news exist. a little late for a joke now. :p only a hour left until 2nd April
3255  Other / Meta / Re: How to know if an account was banned? on: April 01, 2015, 11:36:38 PM
Well... That is my question.
Is it possible to know if an account was banned in the past?
Thanks!

you can only ask a staff. even the modlog doesn't show the name of a nuked member. all it shows is the mod who did the deed sorry,  the modlog actually shows some of the banned member's account. maybe it's all of them but there's no way to know for sure

Would you be willing to fly on a plane with no pilot?


The technology exists, even if no airline is currently thinking about trying it.

The tragic Germanwings crash in the Alps this week -- which allegedly was caused deliberately by the copilot -- raises the question: Would it make sense to fly planes without pilots?

Some experts say the answer is yes.

"Planes can already fly themselves," said Mary "Missy" Cummings, a former Air Force pilot, an engineering professor and director of the Humans and Autonomy Lab at Duke University.

"Pilots only spend 3 minutes per flight flying a plane anyway, and they don't really need to do that," she said. About 80% of plane crashes are caused by human error, she adds.

The U.S. military already flies Global Hawk drones, which are nearly the size of a the widely-used Boeing 737 passenger jets. And military data shows that drone flights crash less often than piloted flights, Cummings said.

But so far businesses working on drones are looking only at non-passenger uses, like making deliveries or taking aerial pictures.



your thoughts? will air travel truly be safer without a pilot?

this one doesn't have a video or anything like that, but this poor guy reportedly got beaten, kicked, and bitten by a police dog while he is unconscious and handcuffed
