I wouldn’t say the soundtrack is worse than Twilight Princess or Wind Waker which are my favorites. It’s not worse either. It’s just different from what we’re used to, just like the game itself.

So, neither worse nor worse, got it.

D’oh! I meant neither worse nor better, naturally.

Naturally. 😄

The misquote random thought out of context thread.

Still no.

The idea should be that someone says something serious in the context of another conversation that sounds ridiculous in isolation. A one-off play on a Futurama quote doesn’t do that.

Shouldn’t the OP be the one doing this?

Well, the OP gave almost no direction, and still hasn’t, unless I missed it. Also I kinda like Frink’s idea.

Info: School me on rTorrent (or convince me to do something else)

the torrent file that you create, determines what data gets shared. a torrent file is just a checksum of data chunks. When you open the torrent file, you point it at your data (and hash check it) before sharing.

When downloading, you just point it at an empty directory with enough space and hope there are seeders 😃

You certainly need to have your listening port open on your firewall if you want to have incoming connections, otherwise a connection will only happen if the other party opened their firewall correctly. it would work that way, but tends to not be wise if you are primarily wanting to be a seeder.

trackers are places that peers (the people with a given torrent file open) announce to, and the tracker helps them find each other, so that they can then connect directly to eachother. There is trackerless techm like DHT, but private trackers don’t allow that. (the spleen). Magnet links depend on DHT technology. The Magnet link is just a checksum, so it can be embedded in the webpage and doesn’t require a ‘download’ like a .torrent file would. Then the torrent client uses DHT to find other peers based on that checksum. not an option on private trackers since they want to control who can connect.

It’s harder to kill someone with a knife than a gun and it’s even harder to kill lots of people with a knife than a gun. This should be extremely obvious, but since it’s not, learn something new every day!

What about a double-barrel knife launcher? or a knife-tossing trebuchet?

Automatic or semi-automatic?

fully semi-automatic knife?

Ok.

So why would you hate it then?

Why don’t you do another armchair diagnosis?

No. Bitter, are we?

lol, see.

but no, really, i just don’t know why you choose to return in this way. Meaning, you dug out a several day old post about a nonsense topic and started asking about it. I assume you had a reason other than antagonizing?

Seems like a poor assumption to me but I’m just a dog pretending to be a human.

INTERESTING

IM A COMPUTER PRETENDING TO BE A HUMAN

Because it was on the previous page? Because not everyone reads everything everyone says on a forum as soon as they are posted? Because this is the Random Thoughts thread?

Take your pick.

Thanks!

Frink will hate this.

Because it’s a video?

I thought he was saying you’d hate it because it’s a video of a slideshow.

Ok.

I wasn’t saying you did. I was saying that’s what I thought he was posting it for. I’m not sure why you would be bothered by a dog who supposedly acts like a cat.

Maybe because a self-respecting dog wouldn’t do that.

Every dog’s gotta eat.

I am gonna be very raw and honest right now.
