...Ellipses... are fun...

I'll be honest.

Ellipses are probably my favorite punctuation mark.

However, I feel people really overuse them.

Party Thread!: Spam has hit 100 Pages!

I debated making a "Woohoo 100 pages" thread, but eventually decided against it.

Nice to know I'm not the only one who noticed, I guess.

Dude, English was my best subject and I’m a fucking writer, what am I supposed to do now? I can’t continue on after this. I gotta move to a different country now and start over as a locksmith or something. But really, the word hider gets used so little in my life that I completely forgot that it was even a word. How would you even use it? The hider shrouded himself in the dark alleyway?

Does it even matter if you can hardly use the word elsewhere? I've only ever seen the word "hider" in a forum context - but that doesn't matter, because its pronunciation seems implied based on the fact that it hides things.

Also, just the fact that there's only one D would indicate that it's pronounced "hide-er". If it was "hid-er" it would most likely be spelled "hidder". It's like the difference between "rapping" and "raping".

Oh... kay..... Not sure how you missed that one.

why can't you just return the DVD when it arrives and order another with the right region, unless it's from ebay or something they should allow returns.

I don't believe it's available in my region - at least not from the place I bought it from.

I think Amazon had it for region 1 but the price was close to like $100 so yeah fuck that. :I

Question on Signatures

Oh jeez. Yeah, the user you linked to definitely has a massive and headache-inducing sig if you ask me.

Generally I don't bug people about signature size until their sig takes up more than half my screen. At which point I consider it a little bit ridiculous and politely ask them to trim it down.

Try that, for starters?

Edit: As for the thing about "six different disco balls", I guess that depends on how they're displayed. Can you get them to lay next to each other horizontally? If so, probably not a big deal? If they're lying there in a row, vertically, and the image for each is kind of long... that might be a problem.

Alternatively, you can use sig.grumpybumpers.com to make a signature image rotate - so that every time a page with your sig is loaded, it'll randomly select one image out of a set of images you pick out. That's the best alternative to having a long string of images in one's sig, I think.

Oh hey, it's you.

I remember you.

You'll have to post your CS in the intchk "Signup Thread", though.

My replies will be slightly slowed. My computer mouse has died (took it long enough...) and I'm stuck using my mouse pad until I get a new mouse

Understandable.

Also, if I may say something - your signature is rather long. Would you mind cutting it down a bit? Maybe by limiting it to one Youtube embed?

IS spam bigger on the inside then it looks on the outside?

Plug your computer into the TV and play whatever it is you want to watch from there. Then return your DVD to the place you bought it and ask for a refund(optional).It assumes you own relatively modern tv that accepts the video output from a serial plug(or your computer and TV both have HDMI) and that you physically have the room and cables to do so. Or that there is some reason this isn't possible, which is why you're going through the dvd hacking in the first place.But it bypasses all that bullshit related to regional lockout.

My laptop doesn't have a disc drive. I've been meaning to buy an external one for a while now, though - and it's good to know that that is an option when I do buy it.

Just wait for the DVD. There might be no indication of success besides instantly being able to play the disks.EDIT: There's no point trying more than one thing if you can't test to see if any of them work.

Yeeaaaah I just wanted to be productive and search for some fixes to the solution while I wait. :/ Still, though, not much I can do without the DVD...
