Its amazing how much the internet has changed the mortgage brokering business.
Years ago it would take HOURS to complete a loan application (in person or over the phone).
Then, once its finished, you had to mail it to the lender and wait for a response from them to know if they could even DO the loan.
Today, I took 2 loan applications over the phone, pulled there credit, submitted it to electronic underwriting and locked there rates (4.5% for a 15yr fixed if your curious) in about 10-15 mintes each.
Basically, in what would've taken days, even a week or two in some circumstances, now takes a matter of minutes & is a hell of a lot easier. Just thought I'd share 8^)
It wouldn't be difficult at all. Heck they could even use different ratios on different servers. Such as 1 bad guy for every good guy, 1:1. Then on different servers have it 2 bad guys for every 1 good guy, 2:1 etc.
The average system: 1) Accept all email 2) Filter 3) Hope an important email isn't filtered improperly. If it its, go digging through the trash/junk folder looking for it. 4) Read
A better option: 1) Deny all accept from the addresses and/or domains I have specifically chosen to accept. 2) Read

At this very moment there are hundreds of geeks around the world trying to think of a great punchline for this.

Lilla: Fry, one of these men will become president of the world!
Fry: Who cares, I'm from the United States.
Lilla: The United States is a part of the world.
Fry: Whoa, I have been gone a long time.
I'd love to see a game where you play from the perspective of the super villan. Battling the X-Men and other super heros trying to interfere with your plans that are bent on world/universal control and greed.
You lost your job to some guy in India because the company is able to pay him less and pass the savings onto the consumer to better compete with Arch Enemy Company B.
So you get screwed, but theres a guy in India whose happily working and the consumer just saved $20.
Can someone explain why thats so wrong?
At my families liquor store we have a bunch of $1 bills which we made photocopies of.
In the event of a robbery we're supposed to place it in the robbers bag along with the rest of the money. That way if they ever apprehend a suspect and he's carrying any of our copies, we at least know he/she is the robber, or at least connected to the robber.
This was a tip from the police I believe after we were robbed the first time...
Wouldn't it be easier to setup up, for example, a yahoo email account through multiple anonymous proxies. Then each time you want to read/respond to those emails, use a different group of anonymous proxies?
And in an event such as this be sure you use plain text emails.
Getting drunk while I was playing counter-strike until the middle of the night & smoking 1.5 packs of cigarettes.
My room was littered with beer bottles, empty packages of smokes & overfull ashtrays... I turned the white walls in my room yellow.
My mom hated it. When I turned 27 she finally had enough and kicked me out.
In In the US Army you have earplugs everywhere you go, its a part of your uniform.
They're in a small case that hang from your inner left breast pocket & will have the Insignia or Crest of the unit you're in.
Out of curiosity I added up the GDP of the EU using the following nations: UK, Ireland, France, Italy, Germany, Spain, Greece, Sweeden & Finland.
(I'm not exactly sure of all of the nations that are a part of the EU)
Total: 8.2 trillion
US: 10.4 trillion

Reminds me of a Futurama episode:
Lilla: Fry, this is very importnant! One of these men will become president of the world!
Fry: Who cares, I'm from the United States.
Lilla: Fry, the United States is a part of the world.
Fry: Whoa! I have been gone a long time!

I thought the post was funny, but +3 informative is hilarious.
No dude, aliens have much cooler things to do then lurking over silly little cars. Like, getting drunk off Listerine. Aliens LOVE Listerine.
Votings uncool. Stay home and get trashed off listerine.

Yeah, but thats insignifigant. This is important because we previously thought they only lived to be 7-15 years old...
