  1. Re:Oklahoma? on Oklahoma, Vatican Take Opposite Tacks On Evolution · · Score: 1

    I know that tactic;

    There used to be a strip club near my house, one of those nearly NC-17 ones no booze and almost no business aiming at the Frat crowd. After too much lack of income and protests they turned it into a Male strippers joint.

    They flipped their tactics, so if you can't beat them, make them pay.

  2. Re:5k fine, 1.8M in profits on UK Company Sold Workers' Secret Data · · Score: 1

    Well, it was. This is an old school method...currently being replaced by just scanning the internet in general, target searching on Facebook and the like.

    As much as the old music industry is hurting with online distribution, so will services like this due to this kind of information being out there for free.

    I concur, I limit the amount of info on my social sites. It's neither safe nor is it ethical some of the practices or conclusions that these create. Does it really matter that someone dressed up on Halloween like a pirate, does that make them a software pirate? But that is what some dumb folk will say if they look on a facebook page of wacky drunkeness.

    ok I am blaming the stupid here and....

    oh wait thats ok. If they have no clue I wouldn't work for them anyway. If you have to rely on someone else to tell you who to hire you likely have to rely on someone else to tell you how to run your business. So pretty soon your company is screwed by your mismanagement for not hiring proper HR people and spending too much time on employee's personal lives then your core business. This sort of foolishness invites lawsuits and rightly so.

    A company that has to pay out discrimination settlements wasn't run properly from the top down.

    on the other hand I have used *69 to get bounce back to the number and the system will announce the number that just called but if you are not quick and write it down an attempt to return the call will wipe the record and tell you the number it just told you is blocked and can't tell you the number. lol

  11. Re:Proud to be an American... on Aussie Net Filtering Trial Delayed · · Score: 1

    Transportation to the American colonies just ended earlier then it did in Australia and to a far lesser extent as immigration came from many countries. It was far too easy to just walk away from service and live in a colony that didn't care for the practice. Sure that temporarily gave rise to more African Slaves. With regards to the North American ones it only amounted to 10% of the total trade to the west. Many of the African Slaves did the same thing. With the rise of industry slavery was doomed, It just became a negative return beyond the moral reasons.

  13. Re:Accident? Suicide link way off base on Karl Rove's IT Guru Dies In Small Plane Crash · · Score: 1

    Yes, and a guy associated with the billion-dollar ponzi scheme also committed suicide... or, well... he was found with his wrists cut and had bled to death... the cause and nature of death has yet to be determined precisely.

    the guy who killed himself was a French Investor who lost 1.4 Billion. Linking him to Rove is tenuous at best other then him being a victim of the Republican culture of corruption.

    since the contest for the Dem's candidate wasn't decided for 3 months and it was hard fought contest naturally there would be more stories. For three months the only real activity from McCain was "elect me or one of those two will get in"

    It's called a metal shop.
    They make these things in bulk.

    You can often buy some of the more "standard" pieces fairly cheaply if you're friendly. Anything else will need to be custom-made, which they can also do, but for a much steeper price.

    it's called a Bicycle Shop, this is where such structures are made in the first place.

    ah, I an just thinking back to the early days of the last century when advant-guad dadaist sculptors Orville and Wilbur Wright accidentally discovered heavier then air flight while trying to epically crash the Motorized Chicken sculpture.

    Airlines have this policy
    about vibrating luggage.

    But when a suitcase vibrates,

    the throwers have got to call the police.

    - My suitcase was vibrating?
    - Nine times out of ten

    it's an electric razor.

    But... every once in a while

    it's a dildo.

    It's company policy never to imply
    ownership in the event of a dildo.

    We have to use the indefinite article,
