Where's Dirk?

He's been online a little bit, but hardly spoken. Have the off-topic trolls scared him off?
TALK TO US DIRK!!!

I would hazard a guess that he's on one of his self imposed breaks.
To be honest, can't say that I blame him, the quality of gibberish around here lately has been truly terrible...

You've got a valid point there. It was almost a gentleman's club for a while, where we'd sit round in smoking jackets and discuss morals and ethics, along with light speed and infinite mass. Now it's just "check out this chick I pulled. At least I think it's a chick".

Indeed, unfortunately I can't justify banning somebody because they're "crap at OT"...
What's needed is some sort of "Recognised Gentleman With A Tendency To Post Frivolous Yet Somewhat Insightful Crap" title and a private OT...
I'm starting to see why the mafia guys have their own thread.

You come out with some off-the-wall crazy ideas Conan. Next you'll be suggesting some type of moderation!

Now that's crazy...........
So crazy.... that it just might work.

He's healing his eyes. Seriously. I emailed him. Has to take a break from computer screens. He said he's been catching up on the real world and such.
- this sig is just so I don't have to write 10char when on my phone -

Yup, you're right. He didn't say much and he said "i need a break", but i think the evidence speaks for itself.

Hallo mate!
The worst thing has happened. I'm exiled from the Internet! I've got eye strain so i'm having to give the PC a break until the treacherous orbs of pain are better again. Otherwise things are ok.

It's been quite liberating being detached from the net. I've been doing it old skool, with crossword puzzles and movie marathons. I feel like i'm missing a lot though, even though i know it's probably nothing i can't live without knowing!
Please say hi to the OT folks for me, and tell the blighters i miss the company. I'm waiting for medical science to catch up so that the docs can go do a Steve Austin on my ass. I've always wanted to be Bionic!

We do have a kitchen.

It's all a lie: things that just aren't as they seem...

My take: pillow fights. Movies, tv, whatever try and make them seen fun as hell. Have you ever actually been cracked in the head by a pillow at full-speed? How is that fun? Instant headache and nothing else. Lies, I say, lies.

The irony of it is that at the very end of the game you see a room with a cake in it, so there actually was one all along. Admittedly you were meant to be incinerated and would never get any of it, but it does exist!

I really want to go to Alaska to photograph it. Also I'd love to head up north in Alaska, like where it takes 5 hours for a medic to come help you. There are some beautiful places there...and cheap corner women in Anchorage, at least thats what the Discovery Channel told me.

I would eat one. I imagine they would be chewy, they look chewy. I wonder if seal would be better grilled or fried. If I had my pick of artic type animals to eat though it would definitely be penguin, they look delicious!!

He said boiled in soup. Mostly because there is no fat in the meat, it's all in the blubber layer, like whales. He also has eaten a beluga whale. He was married to a native woman at the time. They are the only people that can eat them.

Very true, hes so well-rounded and down to earth, he's the complete opposite of a fanboy.

He's pretty impartial but he's far from down to Earth. Some of his ideas regarding tech and patent licensing are probably never going to happen. For instance (and I'm paraphrasing here) he thinks Apple should agree to license all of it's "General UI" elements for a reasonable fee. That will never happen, Apple has invested too much on it's UI and that's the only real advantage they have. Also he want's iTunes for Android. Where's the logic in that?
That said I have a lot of respect for him and wish he still held the reigns at Apple.

Assaulted and given a ticket in Texas. Help!

Hey I need help! I'm 16, I live in Houston TX and back in October a kid assaulted me (jumped me) on my way to class, and I had no choice but use self defence. In the end he RAN away from me, but I STAYED with the teachers, and was very cooperative. The school did NOT see it that way and when I demanded they look at the school cameras they simply said "it didn't catch anything" they gave me a ticket for fighting, and I have court this Friday (nov. 16) my family is really low on money and I can't do community service as I have a job. What can I do so I don't have to pay a fine or get community service?
Ps. The kid broke my glasses (again he jumped me! If I agreed to a fight I wouldn't wear glasses) if I plead not guilty (which I think I should) what would happen? Thank you XDA. If this does not belong on the XDA website please lock the thread AFTER 1:30pm central time November 16. I really need all the help I can get!

Sucks, but just tell the truth and hope for the best!
I hope it goes your way.

supposedly no evidence either of you started it... plead not guilty... either you both are stuck with a ticket, or the case is dropped...

Tell the judge there may be evidence on a school camera. He/She can force the school to show the footage.
