Now if we could only deal with Adam Warlock in such a fashion....

Adam's time will come soon enough.
I wish Michael would deal with him. He deserves what Michael would do to him more than what I would do to him.

He and Michael have clashed more than once, and Mike has stomped his ass more than once. I'm sure Warlock pretends otherwise, but thats why he hasnt shown his cowardly face here in awhile :D

Really though, I would like to see that too. You have to admit when it comes to stomping idiots with panache, noone quite does it like Mike :)

You are aware he lurks here, right?

Deathbringer probably didn't want to threaten SB's reputation as an idiot-friendly board.

We should invite Adarx and Mughi over here for an asskicking...er...for round two.

Right. You think they're dumb enough to walk in over here? They'd be afraid of the asskicking they'd get (not that they'd call it that when they returned to SB...)

No, it'd be a mutual exchange of ideas through the use of high tempo language skills. :D

And thats why they won't ever show up here :)

With Adarx it's not running away: it's tactically withdrawing.

Adarx lurks here? Good. Maybe he will be encouraged to respond by fear of embarrassment rather than by peer pressure from his friends.
I think a man should stand on his own, without worrying about what his friends will say.

To be fair, they can't exactly ban everyone they think is an idiot. They have to actually break a rule. Otherwise there would be people bitching to no tomorrow about how "unfair" the staff is and half the population would leave. (not that this is a bad thing mind you...)

He claims that he refuses to come here just to get into a flame war. Of course if he sees a direct challenge like that, I don't know if that excuse will hold up.

I'm not talking about banning. I'm talking about protecting idiots by locking threads where they're being disrobed for all to see.

It seems I sent the challenge to the wrong address. So I went to Spacebattles (You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villany) and sent him a PM. :idea:

There are settings for 640x480 (gasp!, my capture resolution, the same setting that Divx says professionals use), and a few others that also represent a 4:3 aspect ratio.


No, they don't have the same aspect ratio. A monitor's pixel ratio is 1:1. NTSC TV's is 4:3. Aspect ratios refer to pixel size, not overall image size. Monitors use square pixels, while TV's do not.

This is just a nitpick, however, as you are correct to capture NTSC at 320x240 or 640x480 or any size maintaining that ratio of width to height. When you convert non-square pixels to sqare pixels, the image naturally becomes crushed, and it must be adjusted. The proper way to do this, of course, is to devote more width to the image than height. In this case, you devote 4 pixels of width for every 3 of height.

Adarx refuses to contact me via e-mail. He wants me to debate him on Spacebattles on a different topic, and is trying to make it look like I-m ducking him! Never mind that I engaged both him and Mughi simultaneously in a different thread that I started, and that even the moderators want it transferred to e-mail.
I made a quick update to my site telling my readers that he refuses to participate in the debate or to even e-mail me.
It is rare that I find a troll that refuses to even e-mail someone, or engage in a debate without the support of his little fanatical friends. What a vagina!

BTW Brian, your ass-clown detractors are just trying to pull the same political spin-doctoring bullshit that Darkstar does all the time. The disease seems to be spreading.

I love how he's refusing to do it because he doesn't want to give out his Assy, but he would have done that in sending screencaps, and he also refuses to go to hotmail or yahoo if it is that big a deal.

The funniest thing to me is that he tried to make it look like I was ducking HIM by not debating him THERE. Note that I debated both him and Mughi simultaneously in another thread that I started!
This is like calling someone out, he stays in the saloon, and calls you a coward for not coming inside to face everyone there! :)
It seems to me the coward is the one who won't come out and face me like a man.
In an update to Babtech this morning, I told my readers "Sorry folks, this one stayed in the saloon when I called him out, refusing to leave the safety of Spacebattles to face me one on one."

The wierdest thing (and there are a lot) to me about Spacebattles is that the trolls over there can say whatever they want about me or Babtech, but if I give it back, the moderators close the thread.
