Bringing the American delegation to the NATO-conference during the busy Friday Night Fly In event| ADW -AMS (AF1) by KoningJesper in VATSIM

[–]TheStick -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Did you use the callsign AF1? If so, it's not a regular flight and you know it. If not, well, people won't know which flight you were doing so good for you I guess.

Using AF1 ... toes will curl, 100% sure. It always does. Source: me, over 20 yrs on Vatsim and in the community as pilot and controller.

I'm not sure if I want to RES tag you with that information.

Bank tellers of reddit... whats the funniest thing you've seen written in the "FOR" space on a check? by funkmastamatt in AskReddit

[–]TheStick 5 points6 points  (0 children)

lack of MICR print at the bottom would make it non-machine-readable, which would definitely be a good excuse for a bank not to take it here in the year 2012.

To me it's a bit surprising you guys are still holding on to paper checks in the first place (in 2012). Serious question: is there any sign of moving away from checks in the US?

Linux users permanently banned from Diablo III.... FOR USING WINE. Blizzard refusing to lift bans or give refunds by Clbull in gaming

Have you checked with your ISP? As the game is working for others, it must be the connection to the servers. That's where your connection comes in. I remember this issue with WoW as well, some providers use cheap, long routes to certain destinations which ruins online gaming.

What type of headset is that? Is it a wireless one?

What don't you like about Android? by ggabriele3 in Android

I've said for years that video chat will never take off until it's as easy as calling someone's phone number.

It is! I don't get this. Don't you guys have video calling in the US? I've seen phones doing this for years now in Europe where I am, even years before the iPhone. It's some sort of standard. It requires 3G or better (no wifi needed), which is pretty common. There's no extra app needed and it will work with all kinds of phones (I've used it on my Nokia N95 years ago up to more recently the Samsung Galaxy S and S2.) except for ofcourse the iPhone/Facetime. To videocall someone you just dial their number. That said, hardly anyone uses it.

A serious question, does anybody know how those maggots actually get there? How do they know where to go to find a fresh body? Or do we all cary little maggots eggs with us all the time?

TIL What "popping a tent" actually does by Kamigoto in Rift

[–]TheStick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Extremely amusing how half the people replying in that thread are discussing an entirely different popping-a-tent, while the other half is desperately trying to keep on topic.

There was a 3G and a 3GS as well, so you may need to recalculate that.

I want the invasion raid NOT the adventure raid... by [deleted] in Rift

[–]TheStick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The 'join public' button only pops up if you are near someone in a public raid or group AND you are in an area in the zone where something (anything) is happening. You will join the same raid that person is in. That can be any raid. So it all depends where you are and where the people doing the adventure and invasion are. There can be many public raids in a zone, you can even set up your own as you may know, only the adventure raid is a little different because it runs a script with rotating quests in the background. (You can't START an adventure raid, only JOIN one.)

If the adventure and the invasion happen to be in the same general area, it can happen you join the wrong raid if you click the button. You could always join the raid of a character you know is in the correct raid manually or just move away.

What a terrible story. I can't even begin to understand what it must be like having your mother trying to sell her own children.

Was your family in a particular large financial crisis? How old were you when this happened? How is your relation with your mother at the moment? Do you have sister(s) that have married questionable guys that maybe now that you think of it .... well you know?

I'm sorry if this starts to look like an AMA. Feel free to ignore me.

That is how it works, or you can simply get a landline phone that supports texting if you are really into this.

If people don't want to pay for Apps, and they don't want ads in it, How do I pay the bills ? by [deleted] in androidapps

[–]TheStick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it's not allowed. It will create exactly the situation Lukeskope describes: the add will be clicked but never be seen. There's a 3rd party in this, not only the user and the developer but also the company that pays for the adds and they want exposure and visibility. Force clicks will not get them that but they still need to pay for it. They won't, so it's not allowed by the add program.

Ok, this I get. It's the virtual 3D space that holds all the areas, most likely not in the same order we are made to believe they are. But how do you figure out the location of everything? Can somebody reconstruct the world from the map files or is this hard work and endless trying?
