  1. Re:A what? on Anonymous Now Attacking Corporate Fax Machines · · Score: -1, Troll

    So I tell them "Then fax it to me" because I don't have the time to explain why they are a 'tard for not knowing how to save a file as a "word 95" file.

    No, you're the 'tard. Any of the newfangled .docx files come in, we just open them with O.o and then save them in a better format if it was really that important. Certainly not going to call them back and ask them to fax it instead. *shudder*

    and faxing is easy, cheap and fast.

    Maybe. Shame those operating the damn things are fucking clueless. Spent all day yesterday "receiving" an 80 page fax only to have it fail and then get it hand delivered to us. Madness.

    As for checks/cheques, they will also be around for a long time as they are handy for a creating paper trail and delaying payment for a couple days. And you can fax them to the other party to show them that the check is in the mail, which doesn't make much sense as technically, it is in a fax machine, but it makes them feel good if you are a week behind on the payment for some reason. Then you wait another week, send the check, and blame the post office. I times are really hard, you can just seal an empty envelope, then use a letter opener to open the empty envelope, then mail that, then when the receiving party says the envelope was open and empty, tell them that someone must have stolen the check, so it isn't your fault, and that you will send another check TODAY, which you then fax a copy of, wait one week, then mail.

    Oh man, you really are a 'tard. Glad I don't have to do business with you.

    and I hope the congress has a vigerous debate about Afghan policy this time around.

    Yeah, this is how that "vigorous" debate will go...

    SENATOR ASSHAT: So, it seems the Afghan situation is far more complex than it initially seemed...
    SENATOR LIEBERMAN: TERRORISM!

    If I object to paying car insurance and don't want to be subject to criminal and civil liability for not having it, I have an obvious legal option: Don't drive. That might not be a practical option, but it's available.

    Thanks for the laugh. Here's mine:

    Hypothetical vs. fact A litte boys goes to his father and asks him the difference between hypothetical and a fact.

    His father tells him to go ask his mother if she would sleep with the mailman for a million dollars.

    The boy asks his mother and she replies "Hell yeah."

    He tells his father what she says and then his father tells him to go ask his sister if she would sleep with the principal for a million dollars.

    He asks and his sister replies "Yes."

    He again tells his father what the answer was. The little boy asks "So what's the difference?"

    The father replied "Hypothetically we're rich, the fact is we're just living with a couple of whores."

    Here in America, we have politicians that tell us to grin and bear the gloved hand of tyranny up our metaphorical rectums. This past week has been a tumultuous time for our country with millions upon millions angry, demanding the end to the usurpation of our human rights. These calls have fallen on deaf ears. Canada, the great untamed frontier, still seems to have politicians who put people over policy. What a topsy-turvy world we live in that we Americans finally look northward for leadership!
