  1. I was at HardOCP one day and they had a news story regarding canvas fingerprinting. Here is the article they were referencing. Basically it is a way to "track" whom is using your site without using cookies. It is a sort of  a spying technique and I don't like it.

    This brings me to simHQ. Last week I was tring out Tails Live DVD https://tails.boum.org/

    and used it to got to simHQ website, well, Tails blocks canvas fingerprinting by sending back a blank canvas to the server that made the request and when I connected to simHQ the browser informed me that it was sending a blank canvas back to simHQ because it tried to use canvas fingerprinting.

     

    I no longer have a membeship at simHQ and is why I posted it here instead of there. Maybe simHQ is not aware they are using addthis' or perhaps it is being used by one of their advertisers.


  2. Q : Aren't fried foods bad for you?
    A : YOU NOT LISTENING! Food fried in vegetable oil. How getting more vegetable be bad?

     

    Hate to rain on the fun but when you heat vegetable oil to fry the food all the nutrients are destroyed. If you want healthy oil do not heat.


  3. Oh my comment was not pointed at you. I was speaking generally. If I think someone is a douche bag I has no problem saying so in public.

     

    OK, I see now only I can see my warn status bar anyway because I don't see the other person's that asked to have it removed. I am a bit of a douchebag and don't mind that label, I tend to speak my mind. But I have never been one here anyway.


  4. I don't like the X52 because the bottom of the stick rubs on the base and it makes it feel sticky. I even lubed it with soap as I saw suggested once but it is still sticky.


  5. How big is the install? I assume it just installsjust part of it on a tablet/mobile device because installing a 20+GB OS on a tablet PC is just stupid. Also, installing files for a touch screen when I don't have a touch screen and never want one is stupid also. Bloatware does not float my boat.


  6. The bar will always be there.....its used when someone is being a douche bag....

     

    Me? Douchebag? Never. ;)

     

    I got it for making a negative comment about another website and not for making"douchebag" comments to any users here.


  7. Right now I have MSFFB2, Saitek X52, Logitech Extreme 3D Pro, and Logitech Attack (just for motorcycle racing) but the best setup I ever had was CH Flightstick Pro, CH Throttle and CH rudder pedals. They were all the gameport version though and I am not willing to make such a hefty investment again, especially since I can't even buy them from any local stores anymore. The best cheaper all-in-one stick on the market now is the Logitech Extreme 3D Pro. For more casual players that is what I recommend you buy.


  8. I bought this stick not long ago and it is pretty good bang-for-the-buck. I see they modeled it after a stick in a real civ jet liner but can't remember which one now. Airbus? I also own Microosft FFB2 and Saitek X52 but just wanted a decent stick that you just plug in quickly and go fly and this stick suits that purpose. I like that I can control the axis sensitivity in the little app it comes with.


  9. "Southern Death Cult"

     

    Um, SDC were not a Goth band, they were also an 80s band so the author contradicted themselves right there. Now if they had mentioned Bahaus, Specimen, Virgin Prunes, Dead can Dance, Black Tape for a Blue Girl, Christian Death, Fields of the Nephilim,etc. then I would have given them some credibility.
