I was thinking about putting this in "highly technical" lol. Only because its amazing. How do they do it? Like, what do they need in order to place a phone call from a computer prompt on a ridiculously large scale like that?

You cannot post links that are not truthful, such as rick rolls. This is your one warning on this matter.

Quoted for ban, DO NOT CLICK

rofl DO NOT CLICK, like it's going to give you AIDS or something

No, not AIDS, but multiple javascript popups that force you to kill your browser process to get the damn Rickroll to stop playing.

Or this?

that second link is pretty cool. theres a guy in tempe that built a rice rocket electric bike. its actually pretty fast off the line. very low to the ground, has body panels and a sport fairing on it. weird seeing it blast off and not hearing anything tho. the opposite of the guy that rides up on mill with that jet bike, tons of noise but he seems to just sit there for a few seconds before accelerating, and not all that quickly

Seriously... this and the other thread warrant the same response.

Switch to Opera and no worries about bullshit like that.

Did you see my quote in the post above yours?

Some times more than one Mod is taking action and things get screwy.
Mod A hits the ban button just before Mod B does and Mod B accidentally reverses the action of Mod A.
