So why does Warner Brothers registers domain names like :
  • botmiv.com
  • gxoxt.com

I have no idea and judging the names i assume someone was sniffing glue.

The same could be said by the person at Time Warner who registered : robotunicornattackevolution.com
Moving on to Bacardi Rum (yarrrr) they registered bacardimediacentre.com. Instead of sniffing glue these peeps at Barcadi been drinking to much rum or are they really gnna develop a Bacardi Media Centre ?
That's gonna be one intresting media centre for sure.

Moving on to RIM.
  • blackberryleague.com
  • blackberrycontact.com
  • blackberryleague.com
  • blackberry-free.com (
i would like one of those!)
It was a boring friday afternoon at the RIM offices ? Who knows.

And then we have TMOBILESUCKS.COM. I am not sure wich company registered this domain name. I am sure it is company since the Registrar is Markmonitor and those guys ain't cheap for sure.

The last domain name registration i am going to mention is knowyourdem.com by the Republican Party. I would have thought by now they knew who Obama was but i couldbe wrong ;)

Incase you want to verify the WHOIS on the above mention domain names checkout : http://www.domaintools.com/

Have a great weekend.

Despite what the author of that website thinks, Robot Unicorn Attack is not something you see when you're on acid. It's actually a very kick ass game for the manliest of men. The music alone got me addicted to the game.

For anyone interested in the game:

But beware. IT IS HIGHLY ADDICTING

Sorry guys but I saw a lot of those "news" lately. And I wonder why it's important to post those or what news value they do have..

I like to read the news but those really don't belong on the news page.

That's my opinion,


cheers

Funny, I was thinking the same damn thing. People keep posting this nonsense, and it's not news. `No offense to those who post them, but they're nothing but eyesores in my eyes. Gimme some more articles like them big-headed ants =] That was neat stuff.

This is an open public forum, people post news here which they find interesting. You can just ignore it if you dont agree with their oppinion.

Well, new information of any kind "that's what news is"

I meant it wasn't news worth reading. I could read about a man buying a new car and it could technically be considered news, but it wouldn't be worth reading about. I understand the definition of news, though =]

Anywho, maybe I just don't get the relevance of it. Perhaps if someone were to share its significance with me, I'd better be able to appreciate it. Regardless, he does have every right to post it here, I really didn't mean any offense. Glad you're able to enjoy it.

I like to read these posts, as I am someone who works a lot with the internet, and I know there are many others here who own domains and may show similar interest.

As Wargasm said, no one is forcing you to read these ;)

Yeah looks like it UD. Seems the SC2 dota willbe called Blizzard All Stars. least the domain name would suggest so. Blizzard normally does not register tons of domain names and then picks one . they usually carefully come up with a domain name, then register it and usually it gets used.

Funny enough such stories often end up here as well.
People fighting in restaurants, people getting arrested by the police for some random sh*t they were doing and alike.
There are too many newsarticles here with much less content then this one.

You just shouldnt look too seriously at the news sub-forum here.

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
