It's the same in the business world. Everyone knows by now all businessmen are completely full of shit; the worst kind of lowlife, criminal cocksuckers you can expect to meet. And the proof is, they don't even trust each other! When a businessman sits down to negotiate with another businessman, the first thing he does is assume the other guy is a complete lying prick who's trying to fuck him out of his money. So he does everything he can to fuck the other guy a little bit faster and a little bit harder. And he does it with a big smile on his face. That big, bullshit businessman's smile. And if you're a customer, that's when they give you the really big smile! The customer always gets that really big smile as the businessman carefully positions himself directly behind the customer, unzips his pants, and proceeds to "service" the account. "I'm servicing this account... [pelvic thrust!] "This customer..." [thrust]... "needs" [thrust!] "se rvice!" [thrust, thrust, thrust!] Now you know what they mean when they say, "We specialize in customer service." Whoever first said, "Let the buyer beware" was probably bleeding from the asshole. But that's business. That's business, and business is okay.

The company has signed a letter of intent with its law firm, Boies, Schiller & Flexner, to restructure its fee agreement, Chief Financial Officer Bert Young said in a conference call announcing financial results for SCO's third quarter of fiscal 2004, which ended July 31. In the quarter, SCO had a net loss of $7.4 million on revenue of $11.2 million.
now, signed an agreement
WASHINGTON -(Dow Jones)- SCO Group Inc. (SCOX) said Thursday that it signed an agreement with its attorneys to limit cash expenditures in litigation with several corporations, including International Business Machines Corp. (IBM).
I guess it makes a difference to the lawyers and SEC, but not a real bunch of new info, really.

This site has stories of scammers being had along with pictures they sent of themselves holding up signs.
featured scammers include Ima Dildo, Mr. Bukakke, Father Will U. Tuchme, Ivannastiff Kockupmianus, Bendme Overand Dome, Will U Phystme, Ima Wayne-Kerr, and of course, Phill Miazz
My favorite picture is the one with the scammer posing under an umbrella holding up a sign that says "It's Raining Men".
Sounds like an idea for an upcoming MythBusters episode.
Next time on MythBusters: Adam visits the dentist and gets an implant with a timy tracking device. The team then tries various ways to block or disable the chip. Will tinfoil in Adam's hat do the trick, or will Jamie's more radical plan to alter a microwave oven be successful!? Tune in next week!
Heh, didn't they hint about putting a poodle in a microwave once?
A friend of a friend had a grandmother who was a little bit "dotty." One day, Grandma had just bathed her miniature poodle, Pierre, and was about to towel-dry him when the phone rang. It was her daughter, reminding her that they had arranged to meet for lunch a half hour earlier. Grandma apologized for being late and said she'd be there as quickly as she could.
As she began towel-drying Pierre, it dawned on her that there was a quicker way to do it: the microwave. So she put her beloved pet inside the oven, set the dial to "defrost" and switched it on.
A half a minute later, as Grandma was donning her coat to leave, she heard a muffled explosion in the kitchen.
>Seriously, do Americans actually VOTE for people like this!?
In Mississippi, I guess they do. In addition to reigning-in the media (The media is necessary, but it shouldn't be evil), we need to get rid of gambling, homosexuals and pornography...
We should all strongly oppose pornography, and strongly support the abolition of it. It influences and actively encourages people to engage in sex without the benefit of marriage (which is fornication), and encourages and influences married people to engage in sex outside of the bonds of their own marriages (which is adultery). Sex was created by God and is good - within marriage, but outside of marriage it is the known cause of all kinds of other moral and social problems, including unwed pregnancy, the hardship of single-parent families, an increase in poverty due to single parents having to raise their children alone, the spread of AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases, the proliferation of strip clubs, prostitution, rape, and murder. Free speech does not include pornography, and the pornography "industry" must be brought to an end.
Uh, didn't the chief engineer wear a red shirt through the entire series? I remember on episode where he got falling-down drunk, but that was about it.

some potential competitor going to be able to launder $24k in exchange for the code and be able to actaully do something with it undetected?
