He should change site's name to Botcoder...

You can't be a bot. There's no advertisement in your signature.

Instead, I prompted you to advertise ME, via your signature. I do really come from new generation of bots. More dangerous, but at the same time, a bit more human-like, friendlier and nicer.

On a completely different note, I just had my first hot soft pretzel since high school, where they sold them in the cafeteria.

Was darn delicious too!

[eMTe]

Yummy! Bots love pretzels!

[Chroelle]

Buy Viagra....(oh and visit my DANISH blog).

Sorry...Hello human life forms. Would anyone like to digest fluids with me...I mean - drinks are on me because /insert reason\.

(The upper part of my signature was a clue all along)

[eMTe]

Water with salt for poor bot... Sore throat! Bah, that's the cost of being human-like.

Okay, just noticed that the latest version of this fine software has a new anti-spam bot feature. I replaced the broken reCAPTCHA with simple Q&A thing. You are free to come up with your own questions and answers, right now the questions are:

Please write the word ORANGE
Please enter the word PINEAPPLE
Is this site about MONKEYS or GAMES?
Please enter the third word in this sentence. (The correct answers are enter, the and third... =))

Hopefully this lasts longer than that reCAPTCHA thing.

[eMTe]

How come? "Enter" is the second word.

[Drasir-Vel]

Speak Friend, and enter.

[Zyx]

How come? "Enter" is the second word.

Well... I don't expect the bot to understand the sentence at all, so wether someone enters the second, third or fourth word, he or she probably isn't a bot. I also wanted to have an example that has multiple "correct" answers.

Or to speak it out clear: You believe that some of our visitors are idiots that can not count up to three...

Btw: It's nice to see that there is lot of activity again out of a sudden. It seems the bots got us out of our lethargy.

Next round is on me...

[Zyx]

Or to speak it out clear: You believe that some of our visitors are idiots that can not count up to three...

Well, yes, that and people thinking "the" isn't a real world.

[Chroelle]

Great. And yes I have noticed the growth in activity as well, and that has of course also made me want to do more again...

[JKSM]

After writing so much I got thirsty so I dropped by for a drink.

How's everyone?

Anyone seen "Florida's Natural Orange Juice" advertisements lately or is it just me?
First I recently saw it as an ingredient while playing Restaurant City in Facebook and was thinking ah a US brand doesn't have much to do with me as the indirect advertising might be targeted at US residents. Then today I saw it as part of an advertisement in the newspapers. It's an imported item and it happened to be advertised around the same time. Hmm, wonder if it was a coincidence.

Could I have a fruit punch, or maybe I should try orange juice instead?

[Chroelle]

Well I haven't bumped into them, but then again I tend to switch channels when I bump into commercials, and I dont look at most ads in the web... But now I will propably be looking out for it.

I think you should try some Floridas Natural Orange Juice just to see what it tastes like. Me - I am off from work - I think I will grab a beer. Something dark and with a taste of honey, coffee and chocolate.
Is anyone into special beers anymore? I remember we had a topic somewhere...

[Drasir-Vel]

You know, i usually download a lot of different things from the internet, freeware games, open source games, tools, wallpapers, music, all different kinds of stuff. I used to just delete things after i've tried them out, but some time ago, maybe a year or so, i began to, instead of deleting them i threw them in a folder called "junk" (in danish: rod) on my external harddisk.

The reason was that, i thought that what fragments a harddisk is that new files are written at the the spots of the harddisk where the previus file, now deleted was. But the size left available from that deleted file is not neccessarily big enough for the new file, so some of it fills out that spot, and the rest goes to the end of the row, thereby fragmenting the file.

That's how i imagined the whole principle was. So if you never deleted a file, all data will be written in a linear row, and it doesn't have to be fragmented (probably overly simplified). I have never had any problems with not having enough space on my harddisk, so i'm not worried about that.

I was just looking through that junk folder, and it's really interesting and funny to find all those old things again.

[Chroelle]

I have a tendency to make a folder like that as well. On my own desktop its called "Misc" and on my workplace desktop (which I share with another guy) it's called "Christians mess" (in English actually)...

[Scythe]

My "Temp" folder works like that.... though I do clean it up more than once a year.

[eMTe]

Is anyone into special beers

I am into special beers, mostly dark and honey ones. They have great dark beers in Prague, even the common Dark Pilsner tastes great. Maybe I overrate them a bit, because I dont drink it often, sad fact is that in Poland dark beer is not popular and if one wants to buy it it's usually much more expensive.

[Chroelle]

Same thing here. You get a 0.33 liter bottle regular pilsner for around 5 kroner, while a 0.5 liter dark brew of sorts is mostly from a small(er) brewery and costs around 40 kroner. You can get more regular dark brews now, but they tend to vary alot in quality, still trying to hit the masses and not the "feinsmecker"...
Royal makes some decent dark brew though. They are a pretty common brewery in Denmark - known mostly for their pilsner which is always on sale somewhere...

I dont do IPA's very well though. How do you feel about those? They are mostly too "acid-y" for me.

I likes. In small amounts.
