That's pretty funny. :p But no. :D
I think simple "Yes" and "No" would do it.
No it wouldn't, what are you smoking?Quote:

Shhh. No one tell lollypop head our little secret, eh.Quote:

Seriously, you'd be better off lobbying for animated avatars. I think you'd get better support. At least animated avatars used to be allowed; avatars larger than 55x55 haven't been for as long as I've been here. (Has it really been four years? Wow.)
P.S. Isn't it a pain to log in with a username like that? :)
>> At least animated avatars used to be allowed;
Huh? Am I just seeing things in that psychedelic swirl? Yours definitely looks animated to me (could be the magic mushrooms, of course).
DWKS:
You should check out this thread from last month, animated avatars have already been re-allowed :)
http://cboard.cprogramming.com/gener...avatars-2.html
Ah, I'm out of the loop. Sigh.
Your avatar had me fooled for a moment there. I was scrolling through a thread and thought, "Hey! There have been a lot of replies since I last posted!" But it was only your post from a little while ago.
@Sebastiani: It was just the upload of animated avatars which was disabled (by accident, if I remember correctly, but obviously my brain isn't very up-to-date at the moment). People with animated avatars were allowed to keep them.
awww, I wanted to surprise youQuote:

Well, if you insist. In fact, why don't you post it in plaintext right here on this forum so that everyone who comes by can appreciate its obfuscatedness?Quote:

Ah, never mind. Then we'd get into discussing passwords, which I'd rather not. :)
Nothing at the moment, but I'm planing on trying weed.Quote:

Me neither, as mine is only 1 character (and it's in the alphabet). :-)
That's illegal. :-(Quote:

Well, that depends on the locality, of course. Oddly enough, it was made illegal in the US simply because it threatened paper (lumber) interests (as new processes were being developed that would make it competitive in that market).
By the way, when I had to change the password for my university account yesterday, the system reported "Error: password too long".Quote:

Agreed!

I'm sure that's below the minimum password length limit.
I attached the avatar I would use with the first post, notice how it's smaller than the gray spaceQuote:

William Randolph Hurst (Citizen Kane) was heavily invested in lumber and the Dupont process. He and Dupont funded a public smear campaign (which must have been easy, since Hurst owned most of the daily newspapers) that pulled racist strings (eg, that blacks and latinos used marijuana to sedate and seduce white women), which in pre WWII America was probably akin to a sure bet. Most people didn't care about dope, but they would rally around the clan every chance they got.Quote:

Citing the industrial side of the argument as the sole reason it was made illegal for consumers is a bit short-sighted.
the discussion is leading towards the hemp side, which is illegal and cannot be smokedQuote:

Hurst's papers really did run these articles (vis, marijuana and adultery with minorities), that was what really what made banning "dr. feelgood" a winning "majority" political platform, and Hurst really was invested in PULP and paper and Dupont. They benefited *immensely* from that.Quote:

As a matter of fact, my great-grandfather (not one to entertain wild theories, either) even reached this conclusion at the time (he wasn't personally affected by the ban, as he was involved in oil speculation and fruit tree production at the time), characterizing it as as a serious strategic mistake (due to the usefulness of the plant). As agriculture was always a major concern of his (interestingly, he often warned that the lack of diversity in banana cultivation may lead to a die-out of the crop, which turned out to be quite accurate!), he was probably as qualified as anyone to correlate the events surrounding the ban. At any rate, I think the evidence is clear if you consider all of the circumstances. Hemp was being hailed as the "billion-dollar crop", which naturally worried the paper industry, who stood to lose *everything*, so they worked very hard to remove the threat (and succeeded). Incidentally, I agree that the consumption of the plant should probably be restricted, but I do think it's a shame that we aren't utilizing the crop for other (numerous) purposes.
hemp != marijuanaQuote:

yes, but you can't consume hempQuote:

EDIT:
To be honest, I don't get what point you're trying to make. Care to elaborate?
Do you mean to say that big business,with the aid of political backing, lied to people in order to protect their business interests rather than act for the betterment of the population and planet? Yeah, right. Next you'll be saying that smoking causes cancer when Philip Morris has already told us that's not true.......Quote:

So why is it so far fetched that in the 1930's when people were much more ignorant (correct usage in context) that business interests came before anything else and "arguments" were accepted without question, especially if the argument was that it must be bad because the negroes are doing it!
It seems that Sebastiani's relative was one of the few forward thinking people of the time, but as a minority and without any political backing his ideas would probably have been discounted as "outlandish".
But anyway - on topic. First animated avatars, now wanting bigger avatars. What next? Why can't you be happy that you have an avatar at all.
> The U.S. doesn't make such a distinction. Both are illegal.
Somewhat of an irony then that it's founding document was written on hemp paper then.

Imagine how much slower it would be with loads of bloated crappy avatars as well :p
Consider the current restriction to be an opportunity to be creative, not a problem to be avoided by changing the rules.
so try to find a way to trick it into thinking an image is smaller than it really is?Quote:

This is probably why people on the East Coast of the US will buy a cigar, split the rapper, dump the tobacco out on the street, and roll weed in it. Because they are smart that way.Quote:

Like, banana, strawberry, mango, peach, vanilla, ultra-chocolate, meringue, silver, plain, platinum, coconut, beef, watermelon, candy-cane, and so on. Wait about five minutes and you will see two or three kids come in and buy a few, at $1-2 a piece. Now, one thing you *never* see is these same kids (or anyone else) strolling around smoking these cheap cigars they bought just for the big flavoured leaf a cigar is wrapped in. Which the replacement filling is gonna be $5-10.
But if the government started collecting tax there the money would no longer be needed because of all the dough they saved closing prisons, so I guess there is no point.
