Four years ago, I lost my testicles.

You just lost a job.

I understand what it's like to lose a job, but I've lost my testicles. If that doesn't give you some perspective, nothing will.

This is why I like Havamal so - it's good, secular wisdom whether you read it literally or metaphorically.

You can do it, but it's a PITA, because you can only be signed it on one device at a time, and the offerwalls don't all recognise you're on a mobile, and give you a barcode to scan on the screen of the device you're supposed to scan it with, which is a bit like trying to scratch your elbow with the hand on the same arm.

But yeah, you're allowed to do it. What you can't do is use a device somebody else is using for Clixsense.

Quote:I tend not to trust people who live in very tidy houses. I know that on the surface there is nothing wrong with a person being well-ordered and disciplined. Nothing, except that it leaves the impression of that person having lived in the confines of a stark institution which, although he or she has long since left, remains within.

Yes, I'm using Debian Linux on the desktop, and a mishmash of different versions of Linux on the laptop with compatibility layers and emulators.

There is native support for flash in Linux though - see the instructions in the other thread.

Who? I'll assume you mean me since you liked my post....

It's the laptop. The Desktop is a work machine only. That's Debian stable, plus DotDeb (because Debian Nginx is always way out of date, even in backports). Plus, a laptop is easier to plug into the telly, since it's portable.

The mutliple distros thing is more a bug than a feature. The multiple systems thing is definitely a feature. You don't have to make it as complicated as I did though - just setting up the emulators, and then adding a custom mimetype instead of relying on file is all you need to do.

Under the Berne Convention, you've got copyright whatever. If you have to defend the copyright, you need some way to prove your work predates whoever copied it - a letter to yourself serves this purpose, but the copyright itself is granted automagically.

Code: Select All

apt-get install playonlinux

Code: Select All

apt-get install pepperflashplugin-nonfree

then restart your browser.

Code: Select All

apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree

for Firefox.



Edit also yeah, go for Mint. Debian is better, but Mint is easier and Debian based enough that Debian users can still help you.

Now let's make the math together.

No, let's not, let's DO the mathS together.

Until then, I will hate you with all my heart.

Daesh sounds like Ne Znaesh, so every time the news comes on...well put it this way, I've had this stuck in my head for days.

In fairness, most scammy PTCs pay a few times in the early days, making you hundreds of millions of times more likely to make something back.

If you do play you still have, for every day purposes, no chance of winning.

For every one jackpot winner, ninety seven thousand four hundred people are hit by lightning.

There's always a system, or some huge bait, and someone always goes in for them.

The martingale system works, at first glance. Bet $1, and if you lose, bet $2. If you lose, bet $4, if you lose, bet $8. Easy, right?

What if, instead of increasing your bet, you increase the odds?

You start off betting on a fair coin toss. Your second bet goes on betting on the suit of card pulled at random from a deck. Your third bet goes on a greyhound at the track. Your fourth bet is an outsider at the grand national. By your tenth bet, you're betting on Mali beating Angola in the 2010 African nations when they were already 4-0 down. By your 11th bet, you're betting on being hit by lightning. By your twentieth bet, that's the chances of anything coming from Mars (yet still the come DA DA DAAAA dadadadada DA DA DAAA). By your thirtieth bet, you're betting on Zombie Jesus riding a unicorn into battle against the reincarnated assembled hordes of Genghis Kahn teamed up with the Care Bears.

No, I shan't be betting on the lottery, because I can count.

No, we all do that - you hold your place unless you actually cancel it.

Which immediately made me sing the Wally Page classic So Do I (which many people think is called This Is The Day because that's the name of the album Christy Moore recorded it on).

Quote:This is the day the cuckoo likes and so do I
The hills fall down in different shapes and swallows fly
to a hidden beach where boats can’t go
mountain rivers overflow
I hear the squealing of the seagulls as home they go
And So Do I

-- Wally Page

Has that finally happened?

Would you like to borrow my world's smallest violin?

Yeah - that's kinda why you should wait until they're three years old. Almost all get-paid-to-sites are a few months old, and that's been the case since last century. The average lifespan is under a year, and in that year, an equal number will form to replace them, giving you this perpetual youth.

A ruthless promoter with a fast turn around can make a pretty penny on these sites that live a mere breath, and most people will hit payout at least a few times before they stop paying - but almost all of them will stop paying.

Just check the start date of the site. Ignore anything less than three years old.
