I can't believe that he joined someone to inform Spector it's called a "Tux" and not a "Linux Penguin."

Oh, well...

(It's called a tux? Okay...)

Not if you have it protected in some way...

Well, I think that it's sad that he joined just to correct someone.

Anyway, back on topic.

(Edited it.)

Anyway, could there be any bot that can access it? Ah, whatever.

I have a personal proxy as well. If its personal, why are you disabling it? Not like anyone could access it.

So, essentially, you've managed to trace my "address"? Surely it would have been easier for you to just ask.
Pretty sure that posting my IP address and my location, against my will, has some sort of data protection and computer misuse issues.
Oh, well.

In fact you are traced everytime on the internet. How do advertisements know what items to show up? How did the advertisers know that your currency is in dollars/pesos/whatever? How did they know that people in this location like buying certain things?

It's called Geo-targeted advertising. They trace you, then they dish out ads fit for the people who live near you.

And no, the trace is not dead-on. The marker is on a utility pole, and not a roof. Trace my IP and it will show up at a highway, and not my house.

That's just ridiculous. Not only because "dang" isn't even a swear word but because she actually hit you for it. She's not your mother, she needs to get over herself.

Some people don't like violence or swearing. I said dang (Not the curse word) in a shop and I got slapped by an old lady. WTF?

Re: I can't believe it.

I don't get what the big deal is about a few swear words. They're just words, the only thing different about them is that you might want to not say them in certain company.

As for violent video games: I have no idea what's wrong with the guy who's breaking the discs for them. Is it that hard to just sell them instead of breaking something either you or your parents spent $50+ on?

I listen to music with language, and violent games (God of War is the best game to ever exist). I don't see what the big deal is.

I can also see on the tracer that near him, there is a railroad track, two intersecting highways, a football playground and a blue car up the driveway. There's also a river and all the houses are shaped like letter T's.

OOC: :-P WOW doppel!
