As long as the Swedish intellectual feminists are hot gay (meh, or straight) men.. I'm cool with it, otherwise they hold no power over me. *black vans pull up*
Doesnt USPS's system rely on Optical Charactor recognition? I thought it had a really high success rate...
I know the software we used when I used to work on the Fed at the reserve wasn't all that good.. Anything it would reject would be sent to two people on a computer who would type in what they thought the letters were.. then if they matched it would go through, if not, it would go to a third person to make the final decision.
After seeing that much handwriting I dont think we'll ever have software thats 100%.. Especially when you cant even read your own handwriting sometimes *chuckle*
[Scene: A New York apartment. Someone knocks on the door.]
Woman: [not opening the door] Yes?
Voice: (mumbling) Mrs. Arlsburgerhhh?
Woman: What?
Voice: (mumbling) Mrs. Johannesburrrr?
Woman: Who is it?
Voice: [pause] Flowers.
Woman: Flowers for whom?
Voice: [long pause] Plumber, ma'am.
Woman: I don't need a plumber. You're that clever shark, aren't you?
Voice: [pause] Candygram.
Woman: Candygram, my foot. You get out of here before I call the police. You're the shark, and you know it.
Voice: Wait. I-I'm only a dolphin, ma'am.
Woman: A dolphin? Well...okay. [opens door]
[Huge latex and foam-rubber shark head lunges through open door, chomps down on woman's head, and drags her out of the apartment, all while the Jaws attack music is playing.]
Really? Because I used to work at the Federal Reserve in downtown Minneapolis and I didnt even have to take my card out of my wallet. I just pulled out the entire wallet, swiped, and it worked fine. And I have plenty of other cards in it.. though, at the time, just the one RFID card.
I dont have an iPhone, nor have I ever used one... but I do think they were the first ones (that I know of at least ), that used an interface that was sensitive to motion/tilt. At least in a phone.. Or am I missing something? Actually, Nintendo is who I think of when I think motion activated anything.. but now I'm rambling.
oh dude.. I'm sorry. Comcast? That's who I'm having to deal with right now. Every other month they're charging us for something new and generally their customer service.. bites. Which is odd since I'm pretty sure most of them are the same people who worked for TWC ( they swapped service areas last year, in the Twin Cities ).. and I never had a problem with TWC.. at least, not as far as rudeness goes.
sorry:P Okay, it's that kind of day. Let's just hope they build it better then that spaceship in the movie Sunshine.. talk about single point failures.

I keep looking for the Onion logo

I dunno, those trailer park hillbilly meth-heads are an awful crafty bunch..
Because some of those solutions come from the very technologies developed to explore space.
So being stacked isnt a good thing?
Would I have to stop at the Sperm bank anytime I needed to do a release/renew?
Hrm, didnt work for me.
Good point!
yea, I was kind of confused at first

Well, I'm sure I would chime too if I was on PCPro... oh wait.
