    i'd like to give this information but its very easy to find online. spamhaus is a good source and there are several others.

  3. you can't trust this guy on MS Gets $7 Million From Spammer · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I worked for this guy a couple years ago (and one of his associates more recently, see below) in his Westminster, CO offices. He is probably one of those most untrustworthy people you could ever meet. He'll backstab you when its convenient for him and will be on your side when its also convenient for him. I hope him and his fellow spam partner Bill Waggoner both burn in hell.... the pieces of shit.

  4. typical MS on Microsoft and Google Fighting for the Skies · · Score: 1

    wow this site is just a complete piece of crap.... i went to 3 locations that i am very familiar with in california, las vegas and virginia, and all of them were so out of date as to be useless. The photos have to be at least 5 years old and in the las vegas area, completely misses a huge freeway. I guess they have the excuse of it being beta, but this is very rough right now. Also, the load times when you zoom in seem to be a lot slower than with google. Can anyone else back this up?

    screw all you people modding this post as redundant....this was one of the first 10 posts in the thread and the first to even mention R134a, which a lot of people have picked up on after i made this.

    The peltier chips used in the device are more energy-efficient, last between 20 and 30 years, are solid-state, and don't harm the environment with ozone-depleting freon like today's car air conditioners."

    Ahem. "Today's" cars use R134a refrigerant, not ozone-depleting freon. This has been the standard for a little less than ten years now.

  7. who gives a sh!t it has alcohol on Budweiser Vetos Genetically Modified Rice · · Score: 1

    I can't stand people who say bud/bud light/<insert american beer name here> doesn't taste like beer. Please realize that taste is subjective. Most people that I have met do not like the taste of beer and thus bud/bud light is a great choice for them when they do drink beer. It is also a good beer when you just want to drink a large quantity because it is not nearly as heavy as most "good" beers. Personally I am a fan of some American beers such as Sierra Nevada Pale Ale and Samual Adams Boston Lager. Both of those have significantly more taste than any A/B product but many people find them to taste putrid. Great! More for me!

  8. life insurance on Switching to Contracting? · · Score: 1
    First rule of life insurance: you don't need it UNTIL your first kid is born.

    Life insurance is there to ensure that your family can be taken care of it you aren't there. Without any kids your wife can always remarry (or gasp, support herself).

    This is what a life insurance salesman told me anyways.

  14. correction on Greatest Equations Ever · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Euler's equation is actually Exp[i*Pi] + 1 = 0 not Exp[i*n] +1 = 0 (unless they say n = Pi, which they don't). I'd have to say this is the most elegant equation of all time. It combines the 5 most important numbers in all of mathematics into a single formula. This formula also has tremendous applications in many fields of engineering and other areas of applied mathematics. If it wasn't for this equation, your cell phone wouldn't work.

    Yes, even so. Her son is just as dead, and her grief is just as real. Her son would be alive today if he hadn't been sent to Baghdad.

    Don't forget that his military service was VOLUNTARY. He knew the dangers when he signed up. Its no surprise that when you sign up to be a soldier, you could be killed in the line of duty. This is why we have a military folks. This is a perfect example of someone who wants something but isn't willing to pay the price for it. I'm sorry for this woman's loss but her 180 degee flip on the issue shows she is a self-serving individual. If her son wasn't killed she would still be for the war. She is only thinking of her situation and is failing to realize there are 6+ billion other people on this planet too.

  17. Re:all the time - I'm whiskeytown on Geeks and Poker? · · Score: 1
    If your professionals don't know not to bluff a weak player, then I question you categorization.

    The problem with what you are saying, and the point that the original author was making, is that bad players don't know when they should give up their cards. They are likely to play anything due to them not knowing any better. So it is hard to put in a large bet to force them out since they will likely "keep you honest". Thus, if you are only playing strong hands, you will be winning more often and not throwing away money with garbage hands.

    An amateur is also not likely to play predictably. It is easy to read someone who has sufficient knowledge of the game because they tend to play statistically correct, so you know in effect what they are holding by their betting. Sometimes you can read physical tells off of players but this requires that the players know what they are holding. A bad player may push his chips in with 3 of a kind when a straight draw is on the board, thinking he has the best hand. Someone with more experience would probably think twice before making a move like that.

  20. blah on Brightmail Denies "White List" Deal With Spammer · · Score: 4, Funny

    The name of the spammer in question is Scott Ritcher by the way...not Richert. I've been lucky enough to meet this guy and even stay at his half million dollar house in Westminster Colorado for a week. He's doing pretty well for himself if you count the house, the 3 car garage with a black Lexus SC430 and a matching LX470. But overall i'd have to say him and his company are a bunch of idiots. His so-called "partner" Dustin Parker (it says this in the spamhaus link) is a total idiot . When i worked for him, Dustin was a 16-year old middle school drop out. We smoked a couple blunts together. Complete idiot. Just goes to show it doesn't take intelligence to become successful. Of course Scott is only dragging Dustin along because Scott himself is clueless from a technical standpoint. I dunno what the point of this post was except that Dustin is an idiot and Scott isn't far behind him but Scott's making millions off of other idiots so i guess that says something.
