> Is that a real mirror picture or a graphic overlaid?
It's a graphic overlay. Note the angle of the device and the size of the hand; we should be seeing the reflection of the camera or the photographer's hand where the face is. Note on the top of the device the chrome band, which seems to contain some of the camera's reflection. Also the lighting on the hand looks like natural light and the face looks like it's under artificial light. Note also the perfect focus on the face but not on the hand. The face was probably taken from a high res. stock photo catalog and the hand from the marketing dept. digital camera. Just a guess;-)
Have a cronjob that runs a script every month to see when you last logged in. The script could email you if you haven't logged in with a reminder to log in if you're still alive. it could search the net for your name in news articles. It could mail your lawyer saying no response has been received and asking whether you are deceased. If the lawyer replies to the message at your host, the script does a "rm -rf/Home/username/*" or whatever. Or have it email the lawyer your password info. Easy!
You could, in a macabre fashion, have the script email everyone you know with a death letter, but that might be going overboard;-). In fact there is a company that will do this for you:(
You could probably configure a personal proxy server like privoxy to filter out links within a body of text greater than X characters from certain sites, &c. In fact they already have this sort of functionality in an experimental feature that replaces buzzwords on the page with the word "bingo" (don't ask...) so ad texts, especially ones that differ from the context, shouldn't be insurmountable.
I don't know man, the current high bidder's previous purchases were about 30 and 342 pounds, respectively, seems like quite a jump to L 5,100,000! I guess they aren't doing credit checks...
ya. finding them is the hard part though isn't it? I need a nerd chiq really badly, but I have no idea where to meet them. Probably on a college campus...?
btw I would have linked to my site but you know what an effect slashdot can produce;-). If you really want to visit do a google search for andrew watters.
What's more is that FCC rules require the broadcaster to provide "at least one" signal of quality equal or better than current pictures. So you'll buy the HDTV and end up getting the same picture quality you have today:-(
FCC rules for Digital Television mandate that broadcasters must transmit at least one free over-the-air stream in their digital signal to the public just like current TV. However, they can charge for ancillary services like internet (~19 mbps!), pay-per-view, etc. that are in parallel streams. So if you buy the receiver you'll probably need a descrambler and subscription to access the premium content.
Check this list to see what stations are operating in your area. Call them and ask what kinds of services they will be offering. many stations simulcast their regular lineup as part of the FCC transition program.
I'm very happy with my results. It took a little longer than expected but I'm enjoying my longer, fuller penis. Sex is better. My confidence in bed and in general is higher. I just love it
Sounds straight out of the back of Esquire. (They're notorious for accepting "better sex" ads).
fucking incredible how lucky some assholes get.
Set aside, say, $2000 to spend on some nice things for yourself, and SAVE the rest of the money in your bank account. You'll thank me later.
Or you could spend the whole $7000 on a pre-owned souped-up Chevy Tahoe from eBay motors. You probably drive a shitty car now so why not upgrade? The ladies love the SUVs. Whatever you do, don't waste it on your fellow tenants/the landlord.
Possible explanation: if a man says the price is too high, he's admitting that he can't afford it, which could be seen as a sign of weakness. So he'd rather just spend the asking price than say the DVD player is out of his price range. My all-time scumbag retail shopper award goes to a guy who haggled with a liquor store proprietor to save $1 on two six packs of Budweiser. Talk about a loser...
Good points-- perhaps the type of man who works in a low-end retail sales job (the WORST of the worst) is also the most likely to have preconceptions about women customers; after all, the women they know are all in high school or whatever and their own mothers are likely not in overwhelmingly successful jobs. For what it's worth, I keep seeing guys who dropped out of my high school years ago working at Radio Shack or at Tower Records...
Nice post. The easiest way for me to have them is when I wake up at the normal time on, say, Saturday, and then realize it's Saturday so I sleep in. When I fall back asleep...BOOM, lucid dream, total recall (lol), etc. This is similar to the "nap" method mentioned on the site you linked to, I guess.
I'm not sure whether this counts, but in some dreams I seem to speak a narration of some kind in a very eloquent manner. The best description I have is that it sounds like reading a Tom Clancy novel. It's very strange.
put another way, if you're smart enough to get away with murder you'll realize that murdering the target won't do very much for you. So you won't carry it out.
The most dangerous people are angry and have poor impulse control. Beware the man with the hair trigger temper...
One important thing you've touched on is the character of terrorism; it's an information/propaganda war designed to use the weaknesses (and strengths) of the mass media against the populace to make them more fearful than they rationally should be.
42,116 people died in car accidents in the U.S. in 2001 and the death rate was 14 per 100,000 (see National Highway & Traffic Safety Administration). For comparison the national murder rate is only 5.5 per 100,000. And more people died in car crashes in California in 2001 than died on 9/11. Yet this doesn't make the news because it isn't dramatic enough is it?
So you're right. In addition, it's utterly pointless to put the whole country on the same level of alert. I don't think the terrorists have any targets in Peoria, Illinois. I suppose they have to make the alert national to prevent terrorists from figuring out whether the feds are onto them.
Mark my words, this is the beginning of the end for the United States. We are becoming a culture of spoon-fed MTV kids who whine about being entitled to only the best things in life and who have ADD and pay for everything with credit cards. Ironically, in our attempt to "defeat" the terrorists in an unwinnable war, we have accomplished what the terrorists wanted in the first place: the partial destabilization of our country. In combination with the rise of the MTV culture, this illness of America is likely terminal.
Why is it that the US companies and organizations (starting with the ^$!* Universities!) are the only ones blind to the potential of FOSS
One possible explanation is that the high-level administrators who make purchasing decisions have never heard of Linux/OSS and would rather stick with something they know. At UCLA, most of the comps. are Windows with some Macs in the public lab and for A/V work. All the course files and professors already use Windows, and they'd probably complain if there were _any_ change in the status quo. Even if those old dogs could learn new tricks, would they want to?
First person: Do you know how to save five lawyers who are drowning? Second person: No. First person: Good! -- "You're a high-priced lawyer! If I give you $500, will you answer two questions for me?" "Absolutely! What's the second question?" -- "It was so cold last week that I saw several lawyers with their hands in their own pockets." -- What is the difference between a tick and a lawyer? A tick falls off of you when you die. -- What do you call a lawyer who doesn't chase ambulances? Retired. -- Why are lawyers like nuclear weapons? If one side has one, the other side has to get one. Once launched, they cannot be recalled. When they land, they screw up everything forever. -- What do you have when you bury six lawyers up to their necks in sand? Not enough sand. -- Did you hear that the Post Office had to recall its series of stamps depicting famous lawyers? People were confused about which side to spit on. -- What is the ideal weight of a lawyer? About three pounds, including the urn. -- What do you call 5000 dead lawyers at the bottom of the ocean? A good start. -- How do you know if a lawyer is well hung? You can't get your finger between the rope and his neck.
the implications for the phone sex industry are staggering. Imagine the provider being able to use YOUR NAME in the call with a unique new script each time you call. If only I were a pornographer...

The mod_deflate features works really well. It's reduced the bandwidth of my mostly text site to about 25% of its former size.

They truck it in pieces to your warehouse and assemble it there. Jagoff.
