How else do you explain the renewed popularity of Macintosh computers. I work in tech support and you'd be surprised how many people can't get the concept of right clicking.
They reminds me of nerds who spend too much money on coffee and puters. They probably got the 4x4 option on their SUV just in case they need to drive over a curb at the Office Depot parking lot.
I'm surprised nobody has come up with someting to hijack my printer and print out color ads for crappy vacations and stock purchase news. We get the faxes every day here at work
Good point, and also the fact that you are getting it online means that somebody else had to put in there, so it is like you are freely getting already stolen goods...sort of like a double whammy.
I used to work in the Fraud department of a large bank and I had to call customers at least once a week to ask whether or not they had written a check that was coming from their account.
I think the issue with this thing is that it is easier for the victim to go after the bank than the virus writers.
A friend and I sometimes co-author short stories and we pass a document back and forth and just type the new stuff in red. Something like this would be cool for us, though. Word sucks.
I changed the email address posted on of my websites, and within 12 hours had 3 different nigerian scam emails. THREE! Those phuckers work quick, I tell you.
How do you measure fun? You can't plug fun numbers in Excel and make pretty pie charts for executives to see! You can't track trends in fun! You can't follow the fun market! What in the hell are you talking about?
All you need to do is find a popular movie, then make a video game based on a character or characters from the movie. So what if the game is not fun, it will still sell enough copies, based on its name alone, to make a profit! And that is what business is all about!
But doesn't most spam point back to a website? The owners of that website have got to lead a paper trail somewhere. Surely there has got to be a way to make someone accountable for some of the crap that gets by out there.
Blocking the dirty spam is along the same lines as why video stores put the porn in a back room and why gas stations keep the porno mags behind the counter. Its inappropriate material that has laws concerning the age of the person who views it, and therefore MUST be treated differently.
Since the stores don't know the age of their potential customers, they have to keep those adult things seperated. Same goes for spam.
If I went to the post office and got 10,000 post card stamps and then printed a picture of some boobs on there, and mailed the cards out to 10k random people, I bet I would get my ass sued by at least 100 of them. Why can't the same thing happen to spammers?
You forgot to mention the Grand Casinos!! Are you from the coast? I'm in gulfport and this is the first I've heard about those kids doing a remake of Raiders. WLOX hasn't even mentioned them.
Maybe the RIAA should sue the people who make shows like American Idol! People are at home watching people sing when they should be out buying records. What if people are using their evil VCR to record American Idol? HOW DARE THEY! That is piracy! They must burn.
This reminds me of the time my boss wanted me to code something to prevent web pages from being printed by users. I told him that if the information was so sensitive, he shouldn't be putting it online in the first place.
Wait til that little pacifist turd Moby gets a load of this. We'll be hearing old negro spirituals sung over beats made from Swordquest sound effects.

And don't take away the casual dress policy (if you have one). Nobody wants to have to wear a damn tie just to sit behind a desk all day. It makes no sense.
I was in a healthcare-related tech company that went under and in the last couple of months, you could see it coming. The bosses had no clue what they were doing and wanted all of us smaller people to come up with AND execute the big ideas.
Maybe the business should offer some info on how to make a great looking resume.

Ahhh yes....yet another reason why some guys need to find girlfriend.

I had one of mine get nabbed up. Wickedclean.com. To be honest, I was kind of honored by the idea that somebody wanted it that bad.
How long til the FCC requires that we all get digital implants in our eyes with Authorization codes that allow us to look at ANYTHING?
Remember the line in The Usual Suspects? The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist.
First they say the files are lost. They can't find them, so then they conveniently say the files never existed. Nice work, really.
You'll get my MP3s when you delete them out of my cold hard drive.

Do you think people will donate money for space exploration when the closest thing they have to ever visiting space is to watch Star Trek?

And don't forget about the pothead interns who stayed up all night drinking Natural Light and watching Cosby reruns on Nick at Night.
