• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    What are your thoughts on starter Pokémon?

    Re: What are your thoughts on starter Pokémon? My favorite starter would have to be Squirtle. It has to do with the time I went into a library and saw a Squirtle plushie sitting on a bookshelf. I later made up this story about how this Squirtle challenged me to an epic battle, complete with...

    Hacking, Jailbreaking, Modding- Wrong or Right

    In my view there is nothing immoral with wanting to "mod" an item I buy. If I cannot do certain things to my hardware, I am not owning it, I am renting it, which should be made clear to me at the outset, and I should be made to execute a binding contract (not a click-the-checkbox software EULA...

    What Pokemon would you be in real life?

    I'd like to be an Oddish. Just, y'know, hanging around in the soil, or prancing about, being odd.

    Pokemon ALIVE! Only on Discovery Channel.

    Ten year old kids carrying around weapons of mass destruction can't possibly be a bad thing. Not at all. The upside is that we'd have the capability to protect ourselves, and I suppose there'd be measures put in place to prevent a trainer from going totally rogue.

    Genocides of Indigenous Peoples: Evil or Necessary?

    In what circumstances would it "have to happen"? For anyone who thinks genocide of any kind is "necessary for advancement" I ask, advancement of what? Natives were killed off, enslaved, or removed from their own land for imperialistic purposes. That might be advancing some empire, but then the...

    Music that gives you shivers

    This is going to sound really geeky but the most shiver-inducing music track that I listen to is the Route 1 theme (both gen 1 and gen 2 variants). Probably just for the sheer, intense nostalgia.

    Different onClick function for successive clicks?

    No, because the var whatever is being re-declared every time the function is called. Ergo, that function runs the same every time. You want something like this: function cMenu(menuId) { var menu = document.getElementById(menuId); if(menu.style.display == "block") {...

    Occupation?

    I'd like to be a programmer. Except I already am (albeit an intern)... so maybe one that's not an intern. I think my dream programming job would be one where I get paid to write free software (or "open source" if that term suits your fancy more). It wouldn't have to pay much more than I already...

    New Zodiac Sign - Ophiuchus

    I'm kind of confused about this, actually. I was apparently a Capricorn under the "old" zodiac but if this is 2,000 year old information, perhaps I never was actually a Capricorn?

    What kind of people do you hang out with?

    Most of the time I just hang out with myself. If I'm not by myself, though, I'm either with my brother and his girlfriend, or with a social issues club at my school. My brother is enough like me that we can understand each other, yet different enough that I don't feel like I'm talking to myself...

    What are you reading?

    I read Golden Compass/Northern Lights a while back and loved it. Still want to read Catching Fire (and avoid accidentally spoiling the series until I finish it) but there's never any copies of it available at any of the libraries around town. Right now I'm not reading anything in particular but...

    If the whole world were atheist...

    Which isn't even entirely true, because the three Abrahamic religions (collectively over 50% of the world, and hence the ones that spring to mind whenever "religion" is mentioned) all have the same god. They even revere many of the same prophets and holy figures. It even seems, at the base...

    Passwords

    I used to use one password that was not secure whatsoever. It has no punctuation or numbers, all lowercase, and is basically two words. After I decided I needed a new password, I chose one that was still all lowercase but had some numbers. That password was eventually cracked by an enemy, so I...

    How did your religious beliefs (or lack of them) come about for you?

    This, basically. Never saw the value in believing in some higher power, especially since the believers of this higher power can't quite agree on how to worship Him. You'd think if He really cared, He'd set them straight. I mean, He did in the Old Testament... Besides, if He really did exist, I...

    If the whole world were atheist...

    They weren't really intended as scare quotes. I think I meant to put quotes around the entire phrase. Atheism is a very broad concept, which really only means that a person does not believe in a god (and even then, to what degree they disbelieve in a god can differ from person to person). But...

    If the whole world were atheist...

    Well, the implication that I seem to be getting from some arguments is that if "everyone were atheist" there'd be drastically less conflict because somehow we'd all agree with (almost) everyone about (almost) everything, which probably wouldn't really the case. Atheism isn't a belief system like...

    If the whole world were atheist...

    Well, sure, religious wars wouldn't happen without religion. However, atheists are by no means a unified front. There are no rules of atheism and no accepted beliefs or values. The only thing atheists agree on is that there might not be a God, although some are more strong in that belief than...

    Current Theme Song?

    My theme song has generally been Machine Messiah by Yes for many years, and I don't see that changing any time soon. However, were my life some sort of episodic television series, the recurring theme for the current story arc would be Eden is Burning by John Mellencamp.
