Has anyone ever seen Jason Bourne and sal Wise in the same room? Me thinks not.
"It is with great sadness that I must inform you that Sal Wise, who posted as bbsal on our forums, passed away on the 17th June 2004, as the result of a blood clot to his heart. Sal struggled medical adversities no man his age should have to deal with, and we are all shocked and saddened by his passing.
Sal was a long time regular visitor to the forums, always happy to help fellow Lexus owners with their problems, or just to chat about their cars.
Sal was also a club official, moderating the ES and GS forums, and making sure that those forums were a fun and pleasant place.
Sal died aged only 26, and leaves behind him his high school sweetheart and wife Michelle and a three year old son, Sal. Michelle is also currently nine months pregnant with their second child.
It would be appreciated if we could use this thread to pay our respects to Sal's memory.
Clearly, this is a hard time for Michelle and her family, so I have therefore created the Paypal donation link. It would really be appreciated if you could make a donation to try and help Michelle in this very clear hour of need.
I agree, why does MS think I want a separate window, bar, or pop up for every action performed on a document. I have spent more time with Office XP hacking the registry and customizing toolbar buttons to avoid their suppossed intelligent features.
Next their going to introduce different degrees of italics and bold.

For Christ sakes just give me a solid word processor with out the needless tweaks.
The battery is the least of your worries. The resonant frequency of water is somewhere around 2450 Megahertz, which I believe is the approximate frequency that a microwave oven uses. 802.11 wireless uses 2.4 GHz (2400 MHz). Essentially this backpack will slowly cook you.
If we take all the linear TX and RX points between a computer and the access point. Then map all the maximum distances from the computer or device to the access point until a 3D map is rendered. Next calculate all the possible points inbetween the minimum and maximum TX and RX. My name is not Euclid, but I'm pretty sure my crappy 802.11b Lynksys is worth $100,000,000,000 in taxable revenue!
Bart: Uh, yes I'm looking for a friend of mine. Last name Jass, first name Hugh. Moe: Hold on, I'll check (to crowd) Hugh Jass. Hey, I wanna Hugh Jass. Oh, someone check the men's room for a Hugh Jass.
(A man approaches Moe) Hugh: Uh, I'm Hugh Jass Moe: Telephone
(Moe Hands hugh the receiver) Hugh: Hello, this is Hugh Jass Bart: Uh, hi Hugh: Who's this? Bart: Bart Simpson Hugh: What can I do for you, Bart? Bart: Uh, look, I'll level with you, mister. This is a crank call that sorta backfired and I'd like to bail out right now. Hugh: All right. better luck next time
I work for a small company that has access to this information. To obtain your SSN all I would need is your first and last name, assuming its not John Smith of NY, NY. $5 and two minutes later I could have your address, SSN, vehicle info and a host of other information about you. I have never used this information with malicious intent, nor will I. This information is used purley in the scope of civil investigation.
However, signing up for the internet site that allows me to access this information required little more than an application written on company letterhead. Keep in mind though, if any information company is worth anything, they'll do a background check on you and your business before giving you access. I'm sure they would bear some liability if Joe Blow was given access. Additionally, each search creates a record of your inquiry.
It is perhaps even scarier what can be obtained in public databases. Anybirthday.com, county assessors, and a well phrased google search can turn up a lot about an idividual as well. As for failed drug tests I haven't seen an instance where that is considered public information. I would imagine the availability of this information varies by state and could arguably be considered a medical record. Also for those who have participated in the legal system a public file about your case is awaiting anyone at your local county courthouse
Once you engage in litigation and sign the required information releases for the defense, then you can be sure your privacy is hosed.
Hutz: All right gentleman. I will take your case. But I will require a thousand dollar retainer. Bart: A thousand dollars. But your ad says "no money down". Hutz: Oh, they got this all screwed up. [adds punctuation] Bart: So you don't work on a contingency basis? Hutz: No, money down. Oops, I shouldn't have the Bar Association logo here either. [Hutz eats ad]
This will have a similar effect to that of the pr0n industry - geeks with asymmetrical musculature. That is, a bulging dominate hand and arm. The non-dominate arm will still be the emaciated or flabby geek arm.
From a forensic science conference I learned that law enforcement will use supermarket discount cards to place individuals at a particular place and time. You'd better think twice about saving $.79 before whacking an adversary.
I agree. With the 8X burners commming out in January '04, we'll simply have to wait another month or so until most of the old burners are sub $100. I love when new technology comes out becuase the previous technology, which is nearly always still really good, goes down in price.
The bleading edge of technology is a wallet stabber.
You are absolutly correct. In addition to having a pop-up ad blocker, you will need a third party government warning blocker. This "warning blocker" will initially have to be downloaded from overseas. After that, simply download it from your favorite p2p.
My mind is a raging bit-torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives."
The "Insert" key is the most annoying key on the board. If I'm editing and accidentally overshoot backspace or delete and hit the insert key then I start typing over my text when the editor switches to "over" mode. With todays text editors and word processors there is no need to be able to type over text. It's called a mouse.
The can will emit 3G wireless signals providing the Coca-cola company with your location. This may make you nauseous and give you a headache, but look on the bright side, your memory and reaction times will be much better with the caffeine and the side effects of the 3G signals!

Yes but will I be able to call Howard Stern and talk about farts and hairy vagina's with out the FCC getting up in my bizznass?
If you think I'm a troll, well you haven't seen my mother.

Not me, I'm going to pull my graphics card out and replace the crap around it.
Kind of like jacking up the radiator cap and driving a new car underneath it, then lowering the radiator cap.
Cutting it in half would merely create two 36" boxes with half the depth. Unless...

They say it has an 80% chance of catcing on. But I think there is only a 50% chance of that.

A question, what is it?
It's an interrogative statement used to test knowledge, but that's not important right now.
Hutz: All right gentleman. I will take your case. But I will require a thousand dollar retainer.
Bart: A thousand dollars. But your ad says "no money down".
Hutz: Oh, they got this all screwed up. [adds punctuation]

WORKS ON CONTINGENCY?
NO, MONEY DOWN!

Man I wish I hadn't thought of that....

CB's are only half duplex, that's why ass spreads are only half as funny/nauseating as internet ass spreads.

Perhaps if I was a cattle rancher I might need a program that could log cow shit and udder status. Oh you said "utter?" - Well then never mind.

Yes, by all means please lose this key

I agree most downloaded stuff is music and movies. I did however, *legally* download illegal street racing videos. At least I think that's legal.
I agree. This is only slightly less pathetic than waiting for the midnight sale of the next Windows release.
