Sigh, amature writers and laws

Writers are entering and publishing without truly reading or understanding the legalities of what is or isn't plagiarism. Nor do they understand the repercussions of filing a "that's my story line" lawsuit without researching prior publications. The large publishers did all that expensive legals for their authors. They knew whether they had a legal leg to stand on or not. Now with thousands of instant writer-publishers who read something somewhere about DCM (digital copyright material) they start firing off take down notices to everyone.

Shook the piggy bank

Author: 

The Station's Late Night Princess by Alecia Snowfall is worth reading and reading again like so many other great stories posted on BCTS. Although some of them have moved onto ebooks, and I'm not into such, I'll toss a few pennies into BCTS cookie jar in honor of them. Don't know why it feels more right than sending in a blind donation? Erin, Piper, and the ladies host the site but the authors wrote the story. Both mutually necessary for this site to be here. One can't be without the other. And yes, Erin and the others use the site too for posting their stories. I know, I'm weird.

Real Life, not only the stories we write

Caution: 

Blog About: 

Author: 

Most everyone of us understands the hate generated toward others because they are different and don't conform to society or an individual's rules. If one hasn't run into that person who would kill you in a heartbeat because you aren't what they demand all females and possibly many males must be to live in their world; you aren't trans, gay, lesbian, or you fit the kind of model who blends in real well to the norm. Protecting one's self or receiving protection from those who are supposedly protecting those who can't isn't always possible.

Javascript error on home page?

Author: 

I have noticed that often BCTS loads, the contents shows up for a fraction of a second before being wiped out to a blank page.

When I look into the page with my browsers "Inspect Element" the page is indeed nearly empty. But I KNOW I saw content flash by for that small fraction of time.

Could there be some JavaScript on the homepage that under some conditions, wipes out most of the page again?

Computers Against COVID:

Turn your computer against COVID.

Your computer can turn its other-wise unused processing power to the fight against COVID. Researchers attacking COVID are turning to us, ordinary people, to supply some of the computing power.

The University of California at Berkeley offers “BOINC”, (https://boinc.berkeley.edu/), a science manager that runs in the background on your machine, managing research programs to fight COVID. These science research programs won’t hurt or slow your machine (they step aside when you use your machine.)

Looking for a story.

I am looking for a story that I have read several times but not recently. Do not remember the author, title or main character's name. The main character is a 65 year old male design engineer working in a small branch of a much larger company. His branch of the company is sold to another company. This has happened to him several times during his career. Each time in the past, he ended up getting laid off in a downsizing move before he qualified for company benefits. Feeling that history is about to repeat itself, our character gets a friend to help him present himself as a woman.

(still) In Search of a Story

Reposting this since nobody seemed to have any ideas the first time.
----------------------
Synopsis:

Guy gets asked to infiltrate a compound where brainwashing and cult tactics (plus drugs/chemicals) are being used to turn men into women. He happens to be trans, but also a expert on cult indoctrination and brainwashing techniques. Keeps track of time using coat hangers at one point.

Group name similar to the "Church of Achelois". Rank progression including Near Sisters and full Sisters. They'd been taken criminals and homeless men off the streets who nobody would miss.

A really bad idea by our own government

Author: 

This has nothing to do with BCTS, stories, or writing but everyone needs to pay attention.
Intelligence has seemed to be lacking in anyone or anything having to do with government for as long as I can remember. A really long time. This is truly a short sighted, dumb, beyond comprehension "fix" that is being encouraged and helped along by my own government.
Progressive stupidity in action.

2020-04-24 ANZAC 2020

Blog About: 

Author: 

It's a bit controversional because of some comites / groups that are just a bit on the nationalist / right wing / phobic side but tomorrow, April 25th, is ANZAC day.2020.

It's a day I try to keep in mind each year.

The war from 14-18 also known as World War 1 or the War to end all wars wasn't just a 'thing' for Europe. Gallipoli is one of the most infamous especially in the ANZAC coutries. But soldiers of all over the commonwealth, the colonies served in 'Flanders' fields. Almost every skin collor know to man served 'next' to each other down in those trenches.

Essential employee

Author: 

Oregon's governor has issued an executive order Oregon schools are to be closed until September and that schools implement "distance learning" so that the students in Oregon don't lose a year of schooling. As a result, school bus drivers have become "essential employees". We are to deliver school work assignments and lunches.

Trying to remember the name of a story........

I’m trying to find a story based in the Whateley Universe in which a teenage boy is exposed to nannites while on a school field trip to a top secret lab, and then while playing an RPG on his computer he runs into Fay’s alter ego and is killed while trying to save her in the game. The nannites are somehow activated, mutating him into his role playing character, a female elf, who also happens to have an affinity for electronic devices, as well as retaining her stealth abilities from the RPG, and some pretty well enhanced combat abilities from the nannites as well.

HD coming with shingling

Author: 

The majority won't understand what this is about. Some will. This is for those few. WD and a few other HD mfg are adding shingling to some of their drives. It's raising havoc with the RAID build. This drive will work as a stand alone in a personal computer. It won't work in a mirrored array. I doubt it could even be cloned and used that way as it does not work well or get along with normal drives. If none of this makes sense, ignore it, you aren't one of those who will be running into problems with these HDs. What ticks me off is the companies weren't informing the buyers.
