the point being is that he SHOULD NOT have to take it. I fly all over Texas for my job and the idiots at Amarillo take the cake. Because of the way the terminal is shaped with parking garages, they have to search the trunks of every vehicle that goes thru. Mind you, NOT THE LUGGAGE IN THE TRUNK. So it usually goes like this, 1) drive up to the converted food van that looks like a SWAT van, 2)pop the trunk,3)guy looks and says "OK, you can go on". Like THAT inspection will catch a bomb coming thru. Morons. And then they have the balls to announce that "due to heightened security, , you cannot leave your car parked unattended in front of the terminal." so as I go thru there in my rental car, why do I see at least 5 unattended cars with the cops standing around doing nothing?
And then going thru their security to get to the plane, they tell me to "lose the attitude and calm down". I tell them to "shut up and learn how to do your job the right way". This was after they had already searched my carry-on, etc. Only reason I even got pulled over for personal search was that the penny nails in the heels of my dress shoes set the walk-thru detector off. Wasn't wearing any other metal, not even watch, belt buckle, wedding ring, coins, etc. Machines are obviously set too goddamn sensitive......and they still didn't spot the carbon-fiber knife in my rolling computer case. IDIOTS!
I don't know that you'd want to fuck them. keep in mind, he said he worked for a financial institution. assuming that means a bank/credit union/savings&loan, etc, that is putting peoples money at risk. maybe even your fellow slashdotters. so you want to fuck your fellow slashdotters life savings huh?
I audit financial institutions for IT security. But I do it from the state government regulatory side. I'm not passing judgment on SafariShane, but I would certainly have questions for the financial institution of why they fired their IT Security guy. My job allows me to demand answers like that and then write them up if they haven't done their due diligence or refuse to answer me.
Dubya: We have issued many Federal anti-Terrorism charges for John Ashcroft's birthday celebration!
Cheney: How many charges?
Dubya: Many charges, many!
Cheney: Dubya, would you say you have issued a plethora of charges?
Dubya: Yes, Cheney. We have issued a plethora.
Cheney: Dubya, what is a plethora? Because I want to know if you know what a plethora is? How can you use a word like plethora if you doan know what it means? That would be like saying "They have a plethora of 'Weapons of Mass Destruction'" when you doan even know what you are talking about!
Dubya: I'm sorry Cheney!
Cheney: Thass okay Dubya. We all have our burdens to bear, and we know what mine is.
don't know who designed them, but I was watching some PBS show (don't recall the name, "This Old House" or "Yankee Carpenter" or something) and it was actually showing homes that were sold out of the Sears & Roebuck catalog around the turn of the century. Actually, turned out to be quite well-built homes with lots of gingerbread trim, etc.
you can't figure out his frat? shit, I spied "D D D" (Dubya Dubya Dubya, not Delta Delta Delta) a mile away. personally, I is an honorary member of "P O D" (Piss On Bush, not Phi Omega Delta)

try driving during rush hour in a major city and having a conversation on the phone about something serious, like a lawsuit (no, IANAL). I try to avoid answering the phone at all and only do so when traffic is clear enough. Even then I tell them I'm on the road and they can call me back in XX minutes when I can devote proper attention/thought to what they are talking about.
I had an '88 Ford Escort EXP (little 2-seater with cargo area). I had to replace the TIMING BELT (not chain) at 50,000 miles. Cost me about $250 because even though the belt was $15, the labor was $235. Reason? In order to change the belt, you have to jack the whole engine out of the car about 15 inches, put the belt on, then drop it back in.
damn engine was so wedged in there (front wheel drive) that I swore off front wheel drive after that. no room to work on the vehicles. thank God for my 1967 Impala convertible with big-block V8! I can actually climb in the engine bay and work on the engine comfortably.
all new vehicles I buy since then (15 yrs and counting) I make sure that there is plenty of room under the hood to work on stuff, even if I don't do the work, since I know the mechanic labor rate will be high.
you know, I could flame you, like BitGeek's rantings, but I won't. it seems apparent that you do not know how to distinguish between personal attacks on a person and on the views that they are trying to present as evidence. I offered no supporting evidence for my views because I did not need them. I was presenting nothing as fact, it was inherently being stated as opinion since I did not try to establish it as fact.
If you could not see the fact that BitGeek was all riled up and foaming at the mouth just to say anything to anyone who crossed his point of view, then may I suggest you either: (1) re-read his posts, or (2) take advanced reading classes and classes in advanced psychology that will allow you to interpret what he is really attempting to say, as opposed to what you are hearing.
the average person does NOT walk 5mph. you are obviously talking out your ass and we know it and you know it and you know that we know it. you think the more that you foam at the mouth the more people will believe you
after reading most of your postings I can see that you have a teenage-mentality emotional development which has never experienced anything in life. you are obviously angry at our government and unable to express yourself properly in debates. you blather on, offering no supporting evidence for your views while disparaging others without listening to them.
$20 says that if you respond to this posting you will say something along the lines of "wtf do you know?" . your inability to give reasoned replies shows you for what you are, someone to filed to/dev/null.
you have a right to drive on the roads that your tax dollars helped pay for. you do not have a right to drive recklessly. the government (that is, we the people, including slashdotters) has the right to protect ourselves by making sure that you are fulfilling your obligation to drive safely and not endanger others, whether it be by drunk driving or whether it be with a p.o.s. that spews oil and exhaust pollutants all over the place. this is for the good of the community, something you obviously do not give a shit about as can be observed from your rantings.
I would continue to speak at length on this issue about your shortcomings but it is obvious that you would not listen and would just respond with what I described above ("wtf do you know?").
as for your Friday class, who's the prick for being dumb enough to take it and then wanting to sleep in knowing full well the requirements of the professor for turning in homework on Friday? fucking dumbass!
you're either lying, stupid, or not telling the whole story
being fired while at home taking care of your disabled wife is a clear violation of more than a few federal laws. if your story is true, then you need to sue. if incomplete, then come clean.
ummm, no its not. my wife and I use a 60-70% percent markup (1.6-1.7 multiplier) at our store because we have to compete against the big boys like Kmart, Target, Wal-mart, and Babies R Us.
if I knew what the average markup was at the time I bought the store, I never would have gone into this business.
the only people getting a 100+% markup on a regular basis on everyday retail items is the big-box vendors who stick it to the manufacturers for lower price cost. which makes it harder for us to compete since we don't get special pricing like the big boys do and don't have the advantage of buying in quantity like they do either.
what I really liked doing to you fucking nukes was telling all your noobs about the explosive bolts in case of problems and we would float to the surface while you sank to the bottom with a heavy reactor to (maybe) be rescued.
of course, it was also fun to plug your EAB equipment and watch you turn red trying to get air during drills. BUT, the BEST part was to go visit Maneuvering, let a nasty fart just as I exited the area, and let you deal with it and never figure out who did it.
I never did around to scratching FTN on the reactor wall, damnit.

slightly better than the State of Texas, we only get 2.3% per year. however, it only takes us 10 years but the pay off is a lot less overall methinks. we don't get free medical for life until 65. right now we do, but the state can take that away at any time. my health insurance is free, my family's is not, and we're expecting our first in 6 months. gonna run us about $2500...minimum. I did my time in the Navy as a Machinists Mate 3rd(SS), nuclear fast attack. the tech training you get in the service is good, just don't think you're gonna impress your civvie employer when you tell him it's gold (it ain't).
I built myself an AMD2200+ on FIC mboard w/512MB RAM, 200GB hard drive, 128MB GeForce FX 5200, decent no-name case, $30 Hercules sound card w/Dolby 5.1 all for about $550. swap over my burner,cdrom,floppy, and zip from old system and I'm set. already had speakers and 21" monitor.
its not a concrete intention. I expect it will be changed before it is passed.
and that is exactly why you will be wondering the reason why the day they haul YOU off to the Gulag because you refused to do anything about preventing it from being passed in the first place
my WIFE drives HER own SUV, she bought it and I know she DOESN'T HAVE a penis. furthermore, she actually uses it to move items, especially oversized items, between her 2 stores. she also uses it to deliver oversized items to customers and gets 20mpg which, when you compare that to a truck or larger SUV like a suburban, is pretty damn good.
so take your penis extension you bought at the triple-XXX adult store because you can't impress the skank ho's with just a 1-1/2" dick and shove it up your ass.

100+% markup is NORMAL in business

so, looks like you're the dumbfuck now.
Sooner or later, the horrible markups will backfire, if people start getting smart and shopping around online.
I can guarantee you THAT will never happen!
