They force feed us with all the shocking stuff like this - it sells as we all know. Tomorrow this will be yesterdays news and we will all go back to worrying about the cracks on Dirty Den's face.
Ever been fined in the UK? I have. Did I ever pay? No. Did they lock me up? No. What did 'they' do? Apart from a few nasty letters and phone calls. Nothing.

Judging from the Koreans I've met playing online games, maybe 1 year is spent learning-to-hack; the other 4 are spent learning the social skills needed to relieve passwords by means of human to human attacks.
My Dad got out of the Police business nearly 20 years ago. He has so many interesting stories to tell...
He and his police partner used to have quotas each night. Maybe it was 30 cars a night, maybe it was 50. They used to play "Car Snooker" to make sure they hit the mark.
For those who don't know the rules of snooker: after potting a red ball you must pot a coloured ball. Then a red ball, then a colour and so on.
My Dad would start the game going by pulling over a red car, asking the twenty questions, issueing tickets etc. If he had reason to issue a ticket he would get the chance to pull over a coloured car next. The numbers on the licence plate were jotted down. The person with the lowest score at the end of the night would buy the sandwitches and tea.
There were other games they played with people. I hate the police.

Recently he went to a police reunion. Before driving home one of the top police officers he'd done his time with told him to "put your invitation in you windscreen and you wont get done for drink driving on the way home". My dad had been on OJ all night... He was speechless.

Last month I spent some time digging out old fence posts from my garden. These were held in place by large pieces of concrete. Some of the concrete piece were too heavy to lift so I smashed them in two with a sledgehammer.
That's me, 75 kilos with one sledgehammer. Brute strength? I think not.
You are right about the public being mislead by things that sound good.
I modded one of the editors offtopic 6 months ago and haven't modded since. I actually modded both his "not talking about the game" posts as offtopic as... um... they were offtopic.
What I would like to know is why the IT department at my place of work charges 80 GBP ($145) for these? Someone is on a winner down there, that's for sure.
I like a laugh. I'm rarely serious when talking to friends.
"Jim, you're a cunt". I say it all the time. I say it with a smile on my face. Jim doesn't mine. It's friendly banter. He calls me names too. I call everyone cunts. They don't mind as long as it's said properly.
It needs a emoticon online or the meaning is lost.
I was Joe Jobbed this week. It's not the first time it's happened. I was a little annoyed.
The "Take me off your fucking list" emails were fine - I replied to people explaining the situation. Some people are now aware of the dangers of replying.
The "I am interested in your product" emails is where the fun began. The product in question was new and used networking equipment.
I received aproximately 50 emails in total that the spammer would also have recieved. My replies also went back to the spammer.
Below are a few of my replies. I am also in direct contact with the spammer. He is claiming that a virus send all the emails - so funny. I'll save them for another day.
Email #1 A spammer spamming a spammer
To whom it may concern:
If you are reselling Cisco networking equipment, I assume you also have customers interested in maintenance and support for (re)programming of programmable chips (EPROM, PIC, Flash, FPGA... )
Let me know if this is the case. S*** has an unmatched range of programming solutions for all sorts of applications, from development to production. Our latest new programmer is a special Flash programmer that is approximately 60x faster than the industry benchmark.
Kind regards,
J*** L*****
Sales Engineer
My reply:
Most of our equipment is stolen and doesn't work. We don't give a flying fat-one if our customers are happy. If they are stupid enough
to give us money...
Thanks for the offer of a flash programmer but we already have one. His name is Bruce. He is 61x faster than the industry benchmark. He's
a walking god around here. The chicks love him.
Best regards,
D*** D***** R******
Email #2 The stupid
Hi there,
are you looking to buy any Nortel products as well?
Please let me know
Thanks

You want it, we can get it. Stolen to order is our game.

"Thats fine, I'll have a chat to my mate down the road who can get me the same movie a week or so after its released, that WILL play".
After?
Apart from these DVD screeners that float around the net, ALL movies are available to me weeks or even months before their release date... in the UK.
I saw an advert for Hellboy last week. The hype died down ages ago. What good is that to me? How low is my street cred when friends tell me they saw it months ago?
There's a DVD I've been waiting for a long time. "Football Factory" is the name. I saw the crappy workprint after finding a Torrent for it. The official website told me not to watch it as it wasn't finished. Friends who went to the cinema told me the finished film was even better than the workprint but I had no money that month...
So yesterday I saw an XVID DVD-Rip. Great, I thought, it must be out. Turns out it is not out on DVD for the general public yet. How gutted am I? This will probably be the only DVD I buy this year... unless I find a 4.5Gb download of it sooner.
Something is wrong. I have 20 GBP for it. Let me buy it for a change.
Man, that was one hell of a rant. Do you feel better for getting it off your chest?:)
I used to make and work with plastics.
Two-part resins with accelerators were best of all. The smell from these was enough to put you off breakfast, lunch and tea. I forget the names apart from one, HY219. Banned after I'd been using it for several years. It contained carcinogens if I remember right. Nice!
Expanded polystyrene was another good one. We used of a lot of it to make shell patterns for foundries. The thing I remember most about expanded polystyrene was that all the flies in the workshop were basically brain-dead. They did not fly off when you went to squash them with your finger. Nice again!
We used to have a Shares Club at work. About a dozen of us chipped in between 10 GBP and 50 GBP a week. We did alright out of it until redundancies split the club up.

I was always told that if the sound doesn't sound right you have the wrong speakers and amp.
You need to buy the right type of speakers and amps for your room. Adding an equalizer is wrong and a waste of money.
Are you getting genuine inquiries too?
Reply to them stating that the product is stolen. It's what I did last week when I was Joe Jobbed. The personnel satisfaction was great.

A black man walks into a bar with a parrot on his shoulder.
The barman says "Where did you get that?"
"Africa" says the parrot.
"I do video and 3D rendering - a LOT of it"
Me too! On my P3 450! Cool as you like! Quiet as you like!
Takes 2.5 days to RIP a DVD to SVCD.
Takes 20 minutes to render a 1000 surface model in Rhino (800x600 I might add!).
I'm deadly serious. I even bought a duel-layer DVD burner for it a month ago. People I work with are shocked that I can burn a DVD in 8 minutes.
"Don't you need a new P4 3Ghz for that sort of thing?" they say.
I laugh.

"Their fileservers"?
Somebody else's public FTP server needs no encryption.
Europeans are less stressed ay?
I'm less stressed because of adrenalin beta-blockers not the government.
"pay a handling fee of no more than £15(?)"
I forget the exact words but they are only allowed to make a small charge to cover administration.
When I used to Data Protection Act about 5 years ago, I was charged 1.00 GBP for a computer printout of my data.
PS. How did you get the GBP symbol to work?
Man, that was one hell of a rant. Do you feel better for getting it off your chest? :)
