btw... WAB is a message board. Chat is instantaneous.sigpic

I've done both (boards/chat) and although the end is similar (communication), the means are very different.sigpic

They had to expand the addresses capabilities, but having TLDs this long, somehow denies their purpose, IMV.

I had a chance to go into cybersecurity/hacking in an earlier stage of my career when I was younger and did tried it out and was successful somewhat. But I quickly found that despite the glamorous connotations that hacking conjures up, it is really like kicking over an anthill only knowing that it will rebuild itself and you will accomplish nothing except a couple bits for your troubles and the fleeting gratification of destroying something. In short, hacking ain't what it is all cracked up to be. The perfect description for hacking is weapons of massive annoyance.

I understand the feeling of massive annoyance, as I dealt with it couple of times earlier. Particularly, w.r.t our neighbours. DDOS requires very little and selective skillset. :) Minnie knows.Politicians are elected to serve...far too many don't see it that way - Albany Rifles! || Loyalty to country always.
