physicsnerd writes "SpaceDev has announced that they are auctioning a Microsatellite Mission on Ebay. From the SpaceDev Press Release: "Most earth orbiting small satellite missions can cost $25 million or more, not including the launch. To demonstrate the affordability of private space missions, SpaceDev has posted a "Buy it Now" price of $9.5 million which includes an insured launch and on-orbit insurance. The high bidder will win a spacecraft based on SpaceDev's Maneuvering and orbit Transfer Vehicle (MTV(TM)).""
Ebay INTERNAL email
I would like to notify you regarding the new quality measures that will take place. As you are aware, eBay strives to be the best in our business, and to ensure that our members receive the best possible customer service when contacting us. Starting in October, monitoring software will be installed on all company computers. This is not an effort to "spy" on your activities, but rather to allow our quality department to take screen shots of your computer, to allow them to better coach you regarding policy and procedures. Please keep in mind, all AOL Instant messager messages will be recorded, and all incoming and outgoing emails will also be affected. With this said, here are some guidelines that I would like you to follow:
1. 1. No pornography sites should be accessed unless it is part of your job
2. 2. No personal emails should be sent or received using company equipment
3. 3. AOL Instant Messengers should be used for work related purposes only.
4. 4. While working during business hours, no access to unrelated Internet sites is allowed under any circumstances.
Please remember that every action performed on your company computer will be recorded. Please act accordingly.
If you are caught viewing Internet sites that are not work related, you may suffer disciplinary action up to and including termination.
If you have questions regarding this new policy, please contact your supervisor, or lead.

Am I the only one who finds the new vertical ads to be insanely annoying?
I wonder how many sharks with lasers on their heads it will hold....
Bwaaahahaaaaa
Cold cooling at a ghey ball
and im looking for some ghey action
but like Mick Jagger said
I can't get no ghey satisfaction
the ghey are all around
but none of them wanna get with me
my threads are fresh and I'm looking ghey
yo, wassup with the t-a-c-o
the gheys are all jocking
at the other end of the ghey bar
having drinks with some no-name ghey chump
when they know that I'm the star
so I got up and strolled over
to the other side of the ghey cantina
I asked the ghey, "why you so ghey?"
he said "funky ghey medina"
This is the eighties and I'm down with the gheydies.
More like Egay if you ask me..
