Yeah, the new "second chance offer" deal makes it even easier to scam buyers.... Have ur buddy shill bid the price as high as possible and even if his bid exceeds the real bidder's top bid and he wins the auction, you can just offer the real bidder (who lost) the 2nd chance offer..
In the past at least the seller had to worry about his shill bidder bidding too high and ending up winning the auction away from the real bidder -- forcing the seller to eat the listing fees, and go thru the hassle of relisting..
But DO remember to manually AV-scan anything you save to disk (from an attachment or a download) prior to execution/viewing. For the truly paranoid, rescan programs both after installation AND after first execution (in case something malicious is extracted or downloaded by an installation package).
Because that's so much more convenient than just running a resident AV.
I saw that episode and remember being pissed that they did the experiment wrong and called it busted.
They did not angle each individual mirror at the same spot. They just had a big surface with all the mirrors attached to it on the same plane (which was as worthless as a single small mirror).
In general though, awesome show -- I like that they do some really stupid stuff and unintentionally almost get really hurt. That dude Adam has burned off his eyebrows on more than one occasion...:)
Wow this is a great point - it's not people - it's IP addresses. I would think they would at least have to gather evidence that a particular person was using that particular IP (proof said geek was in his momma's basement, e.t.c.). Or am I totally clueless?
This is what I wanna know. Has anyone successfully used the "I have a wireless network, some random neighbor or drive-by hacker was using my internet connection to do this -- not me"?
But my cousin Walter jerked off in public once. True story. He was on a plane to New Mexico when all of the sudden the hydraulics went. The plane started spinning around, going out of control, so he decides it's all over and whips it out and starts beating it right there. So all the other passengers take a cue from him and they start whipping it out and beating like mad. So all the passengers are beating off, plummeting to their certain doom, when all of the sudden, *Snap* the hydraulics kick back in. The plane rights itself and it land safely and everyone puts their pieces or, whatever, you know, away and deboard. No one mentions the phenomenon to anyone else.
Well, did he cum, or what?
Jesus Christ, man. There's just some things you don't talk about in public.

um I was being sarcastic.. Of course a resident AV is more convenient.

Think they'll be a political threat to the Sweedish Bikini Party?
Is that price before or after rebate?
hmm I dunno, maybe ur right.. but I remember that there was something VERY obviously flawed in their experiment with the dethray.
