cachedwellers

OK seen it, done this, read it, heard it before etc. AFAIC discussion here is utterly useless. Any one wanting to assist in the development of this item is invited to http://groups.google.com/group/geosticks. If anyone here feels insulted or mistreated in anyway by my response I offer them my sincere appologies. Raphael

Bring it here, I'll have it messed up in a matter of minutes. Where you live, I live in Buffalo NY, where can we meet? What desktop did you choose? Both? But the problem is not solved - usenet is the king of spam still. Even the good "stuff" can be considered spam - no? Hi Frank, By both I presume you mean Gnome or KDE? Just as Linus I'm currently on Gnome and al lot on the terms. I cannot do without as a lot of stuff on GUI's is just to bloated. As far as your dare is concerned I need not bring you the machine. Just illustrate your casus. Mess it up by sticking a stick into it. I extend the same dare to you. 10 geocoins and a geostick. As for a independent arbiter I will bow for the slashdot community. To state the issue once more to be clear Mess up a ubuntu os by sticking a hardware unmodified usb stick into it. Notice I will not keep you to your minutes you may take day's or even weeks. Now what kind of man would pass a challenge like that? OOPS forgot your usenet remark. True but it delivers copyright content 10 times faster and long after torrent have gone :-)

I shouldn't but I will address. The new account is the new teams account. And I never assumed the idea was not thought of before. That doesn't keep me from giving it a new impulse. But theres always a good ol' boy keeping the strangers down isn't there. That will never change.

Do they make trolls the size of dwarves now? This will set off some people LOL. I dare you. In front of the whole geocaching community i dare you to damage my Ubuntu OS by just sticking a stick into it. Well are you more then just words? Or will people get hilarious everytime they find gof1 in a cache?

I live here for 10 years now. I love this country Portugal e minha vide. Sorry, if I could only get the hang of this language :-) Dont pass by without saying hello: Rua do Colegio 8a 2 andar esq. Chip in on General discussion. But the basic defense. If you don't understand it don't touch it. Nobody forces you to take out anything from a cache. Especially a Portuguese one ;-) Thanks for the welcome Hugo, I hope we can make up by presenting our first cache in a few weeks. As stated we want to produce high standard caches and Portugal with it's magnificent history won't make that very hard. F.I. we noticed that the area of Caramulo is practicly cacheless. A sharp contrast to the Estrela that has to much IMHO :-) Especially the side that has been burned to the ground and is littered with broomsticks. Anyway especially the area of central Portugal can use the attention of tourists so combining this geocaching has great potential. Embraços Raphael (what I use here in stead of Roelf :-) I ensist on the ph though :-)

More then 25 years despamming usenet and my own computer firm make me confident I understood the problem. Which means you didn't understand the problem. On what basis do you asume MY dongle would be save? No just as much I cannot be sure he will not put in serin or another poison or booby trap the cache. You can't but you can prepare for it. Or JUST LEAVE IT WHERE IT IS. Man I know and that's not the point with the proper efford and a complete noob you can infect a coffee-machine but the point is that we are tainting an idea here with non factual arguments. Factual is: A usb stick can not infect your computer. Only you can. You even have to make an effort. Starting with taking it out of the cache. This is the first factual statement. You are right. And diminishing greatly the risk factor of the stick by setting it off to the every day risk of computing. Doesn't matter I have quite a few blonds volunteering if not because of the entertainment this tread is offering. Kiddin. You made the only valid point. Fear it, leave it. Dont touch.

You are just jalouse you don't want me to have a botnet thats greater then yours. Shame on you :-)

No way I am touchy my friend, I feel sorry for you because you stick to an inferior OS please try to infect my Ubuntu Linux I challenge you. Please give me your input on the stick. I ask for it. Heavy critic even. The idea won't develope without. Now as to your concern and me being touchy. I have your objection under advise and think of a stick wrapper (it has to be protected) with the bio-hazard symbol and a short explanation that you should leave it in the cache if you don't want to take the risk. Does that address your concern? Not that I need your blessing but I'm the guy that wants to make everybody happy :-) Kidding don't take me serious please.

Added the following to the RFD 1. Viruses and Mall ware. A group of people ventilates fear that the stick might add to mall-ware and virus spreading. I do not think this is fair. 1. Only MS-Windows users are currently under thread. 2. MS disabled autorun. 3. This all comes down to computer hygiene scan before run. 4. Nobody forces a noob to grab hold of the stick. Bottom line if you don't feel confident leave it where it is. But if you oppose to the general idea because of this fear I do hope you wear gloves while handling a potentially deadly cache. BTW check for booby-traps. It looks so silly on your resume, death by geocache.

Hi there, We are trying to introduce a new cache item that we developed. Please have a look at our RFD and send us your feedback. The paper is located here: http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dcsk47cz_35fgbcnwcn We are: http://cachedwellers.no.sapo.pt Thank you for any input.

Hi all, Description of the group says it all, só Portuguese, but not us. As estrangeiros we feel there is a place for a group addressing a large group of non-Portuguese or bad Portuguese speaking people. Therefore we started out creating a team for this group with the homebase of Oliveira do Hospital. Yes base of team Fafnir who we admire for their inventive and creative caches. I feel real bad having missed the event they recently organised that traveled along all their caches. Hope I will have the chance to attend next time. Cuprimentos. To avoid the obvious, we do not compete against Fafnir, nor do we exclude Portuguese members. We only target a common language being English. And no, me and my daughter Jen are Dutch, so we are not English but just see it as cooperative language in Europe. OK so far for the introduction, please feel free to visit our website for more info at: http://cachedwellers.no.sapo.pt I hope we will be able to attribute to the global community and we set as goal to keep our planned caches bi-lingual, Portuguese and English. P.S. Take a look at our design for a new cache item called GeoStick and please let us have your feedback.
