Wasn't there a story a while back about a kid that got arrested for making bomb threats in Barrens (WoW) chat? Don't know what country, and probably got some facts wrong, but the interwebs has eyes.
Yup, I live in Melb (sorry, not going to say the town I work in), but all Sensis Yellow/White pages, as well as the car sized phone books and directories go through where I work... the racks are full of them, my desk is in the warehouse and I can see them right here from my desk. Small world mate!:)
Totaly offtopic, but I gotta say in response to your sig... I work in the warehouse that sends them to you! And I can't believe we're still sending out paper phone books!
Okay, I'll lay it out there. I'm a 21 year old chick, with very little world experiance, and I used the wrong word. I don't have the time/energy/desire to continue this, but thanks for misunderstanding and overanalyzing the majority of what I say, because you believe that what I believe is flamebait. Cheers mate.
Thanks for the information. Sorry if you took the quote as flamebait, it's something I personally believe in, and forces me daily to consider my position in life. For me, if I was underperforming and was subsequently made redundant it is something I accept, and it would be difficult for me to gain employment and maintain a meaningful career, therefore I strive everyday to ensure my continued employment. Sorry again for the tangent, and unintended flamebait, and thanks for the help. Cheers.
With all due respect, where was I not nice? Honestly, I always try to keep my posts short, and I apologise for not using line spacings, while trying to stick to the point. I'll even go so far as apologise to anyone reading this for it being off-topic. Sorry.
I've said before that I don't work in IT. I work in logistics. I find this site interesting. Now, you could have been nice, and told me how to do it, but it's cool, I only talk on here when I have something useful and relevent to say, which isn't often, because once again, I don't work in IT. Cheers.
I'm sorry, I know I'm offtopic, but I don't want any of my drivers 'fixing' their own trucks. I don't care if they are a mechanic. I want them to take them to the mechanic that has a contract with me, and get it fixed that way. If one of my truckies of forkies try to repair their vehicle it's a violation of their employee agreement./tangent.
It may have been here that I read the following quote, but I found it so good that I kept it. Sorry I don't know how to space this out over seperate lines.
"I may be branded a traitor to "working men" everywhere but I believe this: I have a job because my company was successful enough to hire me. It is my job to bust my ass to make the company even more successful. I need my company more than my company needs me. If my company can find someone who can do my job better for less money, they are obligated to do so. It is my job to ensure that my contribution to the company assures my continued employment. My company and I are both playing for the same team."
Hey! I'm not a geek and I loved that game!! Was thinking about it the other day, actually... might have to play it again, for old time's sake. Pitfall and Earthworm Jim... they were the bomb for me and my sister.:D
I don't know how to do paragraphs, so I'll keep this short. Do you think women might fight 'acting' emotional in the business setting to avoid men thinking of them as 'typical' emotional women? Honest question, as a young (21)female in another male-dominated industry (logistics), I've seen a bit of boardroom meetings and agree with your assessment, women tend to be more 'cool' as opposed to the somewhat 'arrogant' males. Note, yes, personal anecdote, this is a generalisation blah blah blah.
Yup, that worked with my sister and I when we were young. Mum's rule: "One cuts, the other chooses"... I always made my sister cut cause I'm hopeless at cutting anything straight or even.
Can I ask a question of my own? What circumstances would require being anonymous? As someone who doesn't care if Google knows I look up anything from "OH&S Law in Australia" to "Tips for pallet control", I see a lot of concern on/. about privacy online, and I'm curious, what topics don't we want Google to know we're intersted in? Totally curious, not trolling.:)
And the person that first said it, intended for it to be a more negative thing, "I'm doing the wrong thing, but I intend to remedy it soon..." saying that repeatedly then WHAM, you're in hell. And that guy that first said it turns in his grave every time it gets mis-quoted.
(I'm not assuming that you are American, this is just one thing that bugs me). And what's with Americans saying "I could care less.". Well that's great that you could, over here in Australia we say couldn't care less, because that makes sense./headdesk./endrant.
The way I look at WoW is that it's my social life. For a 21yo I don't go out, I hate shopping, therefore I feel I can spend money on this game to make it more enjoyable. So when I found out the CAD have a guild on Sentinals, you know what I did? Spent some of my real life money, and moved servers. What's the big deal? It doesn't cost that much to change server, I ended up moving all my mains because I was over Aman'Thul so much. So really, get over it, cause there are ways to play with your mates.
From my experiance, you get much less XP by grouping with a higher level at a low level, and while I'm here I'l gonna call BS on leveling a toon to 50 in four hours. No way.
But hey, if I'm wrong, I will subscribe to your newsletter.;)

If I was him, I'd want to know which "friend" told the police. Then again, I wouldn't have posted it in the ifrst place.

I simply sent them a message linking this story, with Attn: PR Department. Simple, doubt it will be effective.

Dolphins, actually. So long, and thanks for all the fish! :)

I don't know what this should be modded (+1 Personal Opinion?), but Flamebait? Seriously?

"They could have gotten root if they wanted." Sure, sure, that's what all the geeks say. :P
Awwww... Dr. Who Goes To Norway... you know, I can see that happening... I'm staying tuned. :)

/offtopic I'd rather see more than 12 episodes of Firefly. :P
Or what about the drugs Mal's old war buddie took to do the organ smuggling, it's been a while, but that sounds about right. 3 Joss.
