Paypal has been a great gift to the computer world, specially when it comes to ebay and other auctions. I haven't had any problems with paypal ever, trust it very much, and will continue to use it and tell the world about it. It is so sad to know that somebody is taking a shot at a company that provides a service for free for most. I guess some people decide that this is the way to make money. Sueing can sometimes be a cowards response, I say take it out back and beat the poop out of somebody!
Sure, I agree, but (big but) who are we to be this paranoid. What possible information are we talking about here? bank accounts? rental video logs? car mileage? Common let's get real. Sure it is your information to begin with and I do understand that we have to keep some privacy in our lives to feel important, but what do I care if somewhere in their logs or system there is a tag for me that says" User 1436544578 rented Richard Simmons Sweating to the Crappy Oldies DVD on March 24, 2005. In regards to spam geared towards what you like, cool, maybe they'll send some coupons too! Spam is only spam when it is something you really don't care about. I am a Former Marine so I welcome any "spam" or unrequested emails in this topic (military topics and such). We need to realize that if we are renting Richard Simmons videos and we get an email advertising about the brand new advertisement for the brand new Richard Simmons Sweeting to the Crappy Oldies part 20 then we actually want to receive this. Think about it they are sending you info about what you like to do or use. My hotmail accounts are full of spam that I really tend to care about, for instance I do not want to loose 20 pounds in 24 hrs, however when I get the military.com "spam", oh yeah baby, it is on!
Seeing that Sega a fallen company is involved I would be kinda scared to trust it, however being that Nintendo is invloved I definetely don't trust it. Substandard kiddie game console companies trying to stay alive is what I see!
P.S. Don't get me wrong, these are two companies that i used to love and give much credit to my right upbringing!
That is exactly the point, we as a society have no realistic value or national security (we want to know it all), but yet we hold personal security to higher standards. Man, if someone finds out that I am renting Richard Simmons Sweeting to the Crappy Oldies DVD's I am toast!
P.S. Hate Satan!
My biggest pet peeve would be the one that would invlolve you writing software for the mac, however if you are writing for Windows. anything goes man. Think about it if the program sucks, someone will just hack it and fix it for you. It is such a lovely community!
Stop caring! Worked for me. I love knowing that my job is not my life. I do believe that you should do the best job possible and keep your morals and standards were they may be, however it is not your company, if they want to sink the boat let them. By the way in regards to NASA, we have a good president in the White house and yes Marine is in charge of NASA, so just give it time and you will start feeling like you are in the right place, we'll unless you are a liberal, then life is going to suck, so you best get out of there!
Sometimes we must quit and say "ok assimilate me." It seems as if we as a whole are in a constant fear of "BIG BROTHER," as if most of us have anything that this world or government would care to find out. Want to read my email? Go for it (mostly spam anyway), want to put a camera on my street to watch me pull in everyday of my boring life? Go for it! I already know that this comment is not going to be well appreciated, specially in this forum, however I want you to see that what I am just trying to say is that we cannot live a life of fear. If you are really afraid of "BIG BROTHER" though I suggest you stop watching tv, 'cause, yes, they know what you are watching. Do my a favor, think of something right now that the government would love to know about you. Anything? If you do have something, you are one kool dude (except if it is something like hacker or anarchist files you downloaded for IRC or something), if you don't, welcome to the club. If microsoft wants to know what movies I am watching on mediaplayer they can have it, however I truly do feel sorry for them, cause I would think that the superpower of the computer world would have something better to do with their time. All that to say, Assimilate me, please!
Join the Marine Corps, they'll make a manly geek out of you. Yes, you will come back with manly arms (and body of course), not the geek skinny arms that are so famous in the geek world and then you will definetely have the courage to ask her and any other chickie out. The way I see it if you have the confidence to kill somebody, you definetely will have the confidence to ask them out first!
Worked for me!
