Preserved Topic: Addicted? (Page 1 of 1)

The poster has demanded we remove all his contributions, less he takes legal action.
We have done so.
Now Tyberius Prime expects him to start complaining that we removed his 'free speech' since this message will replace all of his posts, past and future.
Don't follow his example - seek real life help first.

Yes, and proud of it!

On the page itsef, the design is clean, but it's annoying to see that every site done in several languages fails to declare the appropriate charset in the HEAD tag and keep some UNICODE characters.

Otherwise, I'm certainly addicted to the internet and to computers in general. Heck! I'm a computer addict since ~20 years, it's probably too late.

Roughly 20 years to computers in general as well. I remember my TRS-80 at age 11 very well. If I go several days with absolutely no contact with a computer, I start to get the shakes. Not bad, but noticable involuntary finger wiggling. And it's not uncommon for me to clip my fingernails at least once a week - even 1mm disrupts my intimacy with my keyboard.

Can't say that I'm addicted to the internet nearly as bad. If anything, I think I would miss Google the most. Google is great for the stupid little questions. How tall was James Cromwell? Is Alan Cumming gay? What exactly is the Poincare Conjecture and what does it have to do with my car?

Is it addiction or love? I am not addicted to computers, I love computers, what's so wrong with that? Better to have kids addicted to computers and using their minds than have them out on the street doing things that could really hurt them.

great use of flash and html- do I hear Cameron calling?

Cameron- you are influencing me one post at a time, as ruthless as you are you are most always correct.

I'm not always correct. I'm just good damn good and twisting things around to make it seem like I was actually correct to begin with. =)

On that note, I wouldn't really say that was a good use of flash as I see little justification in it. That?s not to say it's bad, but I wouldn't say it?s good either... *shrug*

I'm addicted to information, knowledge, cigarettes, and coffee. For me, the internet provides the best means to satisfy the first two, whilst providing a suitable environment to indulge in the latter two.

If anyone has a problem with that feel free to inform my stuffed E.T. toy about it, cause unlike me, he might actually care.

Like Cameron I'm addicted to information and knowledge but I am a bit of a whore about how I get it so I am addcited to the Internet as well as books, TV, films, magazines, etc. - I do worry that I might actually be addicted to libraries. I'm often on the Internet and keeping thinking about the smell of a library, the feel of the pages of old books, the Zen-like quiet, etc. but that said I'm never foolish enough to let the Internet know that I'm thinking of another source of information while I am with it (I don't want either getting jealous of the other - I love them both in their own special ways. Bigamy?? Damn right).
