get these emails, "someone you know has a secret crush on you! if you can guess who it is, then it was meant to be and we will email you their address!"
so you spend all day thinking up emails and submitting them, praying that you can guess who it is (cause you're an angst ridden slashdotting teenager lonely and looking for love:) but DOH, it clicks only too late and you thank God none of your friends are going to find out that it was REALLY YOU who submitted verified, working email addresses to this giant spam harvester!
Ah, if only I were more sinister myself, I would have seen the trap before I fell:-D
anyone got a more evil sneaky method to get good email addresses? no, of course you dont. this is the worst one ever.
Anyone ever pretend they really want the service and write back? I have written back to spams about 3 or 4 times, pretending to be seriously interested, asking for more information with contact information (why not, they're already spamming me 15 times a day)... none ever got back to me.
i think this is a valid question, if the answer is creative enough it will offer some insight as to his overall maintenence methods, albeit abstract (but we all deal with massive abstraction on the internet anyways, so why complain)
Hey math person, post a link to mapquest from the perspective of this ballon, using the zoom in/out feature. say from over NYC or something. then we can all click it and see what these people would be able to see. thanks math person!
i saw both. i saw 'the one' at 7 and 'monsters inc' at 9.. the one was the biggest highlander ripoff i've ever seen. 'each time one of you is killed, his power is divided amongst the rest'. i tried to let it go, but at the end there was a 'there can be only one' line almost verbatim, and it was sad and disappointing.
I guess I'm a dummy; I would have thought it was just "Kewro-szhin". is this guy right? theres a lotta things people all say different til they hear them out loud..
-MySQL- M-y-S-Q-L or My-S-Q-L
-/etc- I say "slash et sea"
-/usr- "oozer", but i dont know anyone else who says that
Anyone else here ever booted the wrong machine cause of these things?
I was messing around on my own machine once, and it was run into a KVM, but the setup was skewed... Nothing on my screen was moving, so I figured it was stuck. So I did a keyboard reboot. Our largest client's colocation server next to me goes "...beep." Whoops.
haha talk to the hand

Talking Palm

· Score: 5, Funny
talk to the hand cause the palm aint liss'ning. oh wait, yeah it is. hey palm, wassup G
Amen to that. I live in an apartment with one slobby roommate (he leaves the pizza boxes everywhere and trashes the carpet.. I clean them up.. We're like a straight Bert and Ernie) and we have three bed rooms. The largest bed room is the office. Two tables, cat5 everywhere, there's like, what, nine machines? ten? Who knows. It's a nightmare. Then there's coax and more cat5 and cat6 running down the stairs into my bedroom, or over to the living room. The cable is split 3 times. It's nasty. It looks like hell. It's impossible to make this garbage look nice.
When I have a nice house, it'll be cause I'm married and not allowed to have nerd junk littering the house. "Why don't you just pull out a dusty old 486 and put linux on it" is already a cliche, and if i'm ever allowed to play mp3s in the living room, you can be sure that device will have no used 14 inch monitor, no console cable, no keyboard, no mouse, nothing. Just a sexy black slab with a power cord, and unfortunately probably an RCA and ethernet jack.
Do I sound like every other post here? After I post, will I be able to tell which of these is mine?
What happens when some kid with a summer internship is working in some lab, brings his laptop in, uses it to do his job, and figures out he can use the modem to go grab some mp3s on the internet?
more general, wouldnt it almost instantly be linked up to the public internet due to people doing things like the above, heck without even knowing what they did? what about people who DO know what they're doing and just dont care? surely getting 100% of everyone using a private network to NOT link up to the net is impossible.
course, maybe its more like putting a white fence up around your field of horsies. you can jump over it, its just inconvenient and blocks the majority...
yeah seriously.. playing a game where everyone is on the same level is unrealistic and boring. well at least in a video game. a video game is virtual so its like implementing physical levels for you. everyone can click at the same speed, in theory at least, but people in reality cant run and jump the same. so its like imposing reality. something like that.
nah you dont like 64 cause the game play is sloppier. the first version was TIGHT. anyone who mastered that game knew it cause you could take player 2, put them in the center of a field, get a red shell, and by aiming it just right, put it into orbit around them. actually thats my BIGGEST gripe against 64- the red shells are unpredictable. it took a whole level out of the game. the roads are 4 times too wide, anyone can play it and win after 8 minutes.
has anyone heard any release dates, or time frames, for the next mariokart? damn i love mariokart, i feel like a crack addict waiting for his next hit. does anyone know that its even going to be published? its gotta right?!
yup. they could either turn it into a park, and thats like.. defeat, but if they rebuild them then its a symbol of defiance and/or hope. i read on here that the towers themselves were strong enough even with the holes in them, but the fires melted the metal and thats why the fell down. so maybe with a little more precautionary stuff this time around.
i had a mariokart shrine on the web in 96. i still have it kicking around. anyways, question: it didnt say anything about a new mariokart being in the release titles. does anyone know anything that will get my hopes up?!
I feel really saturated with what I know regarding my job. It's just a simple sysadmin/netadmin combo that a lot of us have: Admin some linux servers, set up frame relay PVCs, and... well, that's about it. I remember my first assignment: set up an SSL web server. That took me about 4 months. Two years later, I find it taking about 90 seconds. Problem is, I'm still doing the same old things. I think that perhaps many companies have zero incentive to force their employees to learn, because the more marketable they become, the more likely they are to leave.
The point that I was going to make, though, is that it seems when I REALLY learn something, it's due to my breaking something that was working. Nothing gets you in a learning mood more than having your job at risk. (Well, at least thinking your job is at risk... I'd bet a company overlooks a certain number mistakes if you agree to work for a low enough income). Hey wait, did I just call myself mediocre? Heh.. maybe. I AM posting during work. But who isnt?
pan to several giant animals that were formally covered in debris from the hospital getting destroyed (all wearing shirts but no pants)
Animals: Tetsuo's stuck here in a blob! Kaneda of his friend's been robbed! (glitter effects, everything turns into a modernist art style, steel drums assume the background beat)
Tetsuo: Kaneda, Kaneda what's with my brain
Kaneda: Well buddy buddy, you've gone insane!
Tetsuo: Insane?
Kaneda: Insane!
Tetsuo: Insane?
Kaneda: Insane!
Cut to animals, standing on each other's shoulders and playing patty cake)
Tetsuo, in background: (Kaneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeda! Kaneeeeeeeeeeeeda!)(repeat 8 times)
Kaneda, in foreground: My bike, my bike, hey you, with my bike!(repeat 8 times)
Animals, all tumbling down on top of Tetsuo and Kaneda: (breathing rapidly and oddly: Dooooo daaa, heeeeee haaaaaaa heeeee haaaaa)
(all land in one pyramid of talking dancing animals, Tetsuo and his giant mutated robot arm, a mountain of chewed up intestines, and Kaneda, balancing his motorcycle on his left hand, all holding the final note) THWOMP! (everyone falls down and walks off. scene change to little blue guy, where he shall speak of how being blue has made him realize the truth about being short)
I know this guy whose friend had his kidneys stolen from him one night! He woke up the next morning in a bathtub full of ice and a sign that said "use the cell phone on the tub to call the hospital, else you have 4 hours to live". true story.:)

One method I always end up falling back on is cleaning.
