"A woman with an extreme love of vegetarianism is legally changing her name to GoVeg.com. The woman formerly known as Karin Robertson is now named after a vegetarian infor- mation website to encourage carnivores to give up their meat-eating ways and become vegetarians. The 23-year-old GoVeg.com is a Youth Project Specialist for the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals and says her new name is a great conversation starter. However, she has had a little trouble at airports trying to get security guards to believe her when she shows them her drivers license. She also had her mother worried about what to do if she got married, but GoVeg.com says her parents understand how much animal rights activism means to her. She couldn't imagine changing her name back. "To be named after the number one website for vegetarian information -- what could be better?""
You used to be able to put a magnet up to a B&W TV and distort the picture temporarily. That was fun. Then along come these color TVs that when you put a magnet to them it premanently makes sections of it all red, blue, or green. Bah! That's not fun.
I hear you. Every so often I get an email from www.directnic.com reminding me that in X number of days or months a domain of mine will expire. I just follow the link in the email, log in, and hit a button or two and am set for a year or two... or a hundred I guess.
Woah! There's tons of "private" info on those sites! I just looked at PDFs of the mortgage agreement my grandparents signed for their beach home. That's really scary.
Excerpt:
"So I went on the web to see how easy it would be to emigrate to India. I found NOTHING. I called the Indian Embassy in Washington, DC and asked how I could emigrate to India. They didn't know what I was talking about.
What the Indian Embassy was prepared to discuss was how my U.S. employer might transfer me to India for some period of time. I told them PBS had no such expansion plans to my knowledge, though they might make an exception just for me. They were also willing to discuss how I might go to India as an entrepreneur, bringing capital into the country and starting a new business there employing Indians. I told them I had no money to invest. And the idea that I'd just arrive at the Mumbai equivalent of Ellis Island looking for a job, well they found that rather amusing.
You can't just move to India it turns out. Someone there has to want you -- no, they have to NEED you -- OR you have to be bringing with you a big suitcase of cash to start a business. Journeyman techies need not apply.
It's interesting that Indian immigration policies are more restrictive than U.S. immigration policies. There is no true Indian equivalent, for example, of our H1-B work visas. There is no quid pro quo. But then there is also no wave of U.S. engineers clamoring to move to India."
people are starting to forget that IN A BATTLE, PEOPLE DIE. That's how it works. Some soldiers do not come home and that's just how it works. It is plain stupid to expect that everyone or nearly everyone will come out of it ok.

what you need is a Sharp Zaurus. Read more here.
How indecent, call the FCC.
...Gary Winston to spy on me now when I'm writing code. Then he's going to steal my work so he can finish Synapse.
Wouldn't that be nice?
This would also mean that "H20" is incorrect as well, should be "HOH". That's what my high school chem teacher said anyway.

Check it out, it's a good read.

Get paid extra for writing a few more viruses than usual? C'mon... :-)

that supports GOTOs. Those are the best!

If I had mod points left, i'd give you -1 for using the phrase "paradigm shift". That is the most tired, overused phrase in the book.
Very interesting to read.
