Life Expectancy in General
Arancaytar Law Bringer Member # 2984	written Tuesday, May 24 2005 23:15 Profile Homepage #2 I think I sit over 50 hours at a PC per week. Around 25-30 hours of that at work alone, and presumably more at home. Oh, and my area's life expectancy was 79 for women and 72 for men, but I was born in Manhattan, where apparently the average is 73 (that's not split up according to gender).

This can't be verified, of course, because he was defeated long before that. Alo, since there isn't any real disagreement, I wonder if Godwin's can be applied here. Normally, it implies a sort of hostile context, which we don't have here yet. -------------------- The Encyclopaedia Ermariana <-- Now a Wiki!

Arancaytar Law Bringer Member # 2984	written Tuesday, May 24 2005 15:14 Profile Homepage #4 Bandwidth on the server end is not the issue - remote-loading pictures does not strain the server, but only the user's connection. However, to give some control over filesize and content, it would be advisable to force the picture to be uploaded to the board itself. This would take diskspace, which is an issue. Note that these boards have been pruned several times for diskspace, and one forum taken down entirely, but rarely has anything been done about bandwidth.
