ONCE, in all my years on the internet (nearly 10) have I accidentally run across child porn. About 8 years ago I was looking for websites that had music on them (this might have been before mp3, I don't remember) and one site had a TON of pop-up windows, I think more than 20 came up, and one of them was child porn. Very disturbing. The website itself was legitimate, just a homemade site about popular music.
That's probably due to the time of year the pictures were taken.
All of her pictures were from Feb. 21, which is before there are leaves on most of the trees and bushes. The old picture with the two young girls in it looks like it was at least April when it was taken because they're dressed for warm weather and the hybrid tea roses are blooming.
Or (5) a friend who is notorious for forwarding e-mail hoaxes forwarded some info and a link to the website that lets you join the class action, so naturally it was thought to be a scam to get my personal information.
But if it has been a generation or two since anybody in that area has been able to use ham radio due to interference, when that natural disaster does come along, nobody will have the equipment or the knowledge to use ham radio, and there won't be any to hear what they're transmitting anyway.
(IANAL) Often you sue in the court of the jurisdiction that made the rule...
Since I seriously doubt the city has written any consumer-protection laws, and I seriously doubt the county has, he might be suing them in state court. But consumer protection is one of those things that a lot of states just leave up to the fed., so Denver may be the closest federal court.
Ahhh, but I have already chucked many clue bricks at him, and we have discussed the clue bricks.
He says he's too busy for a girlfriend right now because he's working three jobs to pay off college and car debt. (He works about 70 hours a week)
But he should have the car paid off and job #2 finished sometime this year, so I'm just making sure that I'm first on his list when he does decide it would be nice to have a girlfriend:)
That's a lovely proposition, but a bit difficult in the execution...namely I can't e-mail a file that bit, and I don't know of anywhere on the web that will let me post a file that bit either. It's 50,062KB.
Haven't you ever heard a song on the radio that you loved so much you couldn't wait for them to play it again, you had to go out and buy it so that you can listen to more frequently?
Or because new songs have come out so the song you like has gone out of rotation?
There are currently two songs that I have music videos for (found them on someone's computer) and as soon as I can figure out who the band is what CD it came off of, I'm going to buy it.
Fingerprinting requires that you be detained -- in effect under arrest.
Wow, where do you live? I have to get finger printed to get my real estate sales license (Idaho) which I'll do at the facility right after I pass the state license exam. The testing facility is just a suite leased in an office building. It's got about as much in common with being arrested as filling out the forms to get license plate for a boat trailer. Yawn.
How about an extra large pizza delivered to his door with the pepperoni arranged in the shape of a heart? Geeks love pizza! You just need to find a place that will let you pay for it over the phone at the time you order it.
Of course, that's not going to get anywhere near your $100 limit, so you might want to toss in some more goodies. Have some Mt. Dew delivered too, and spicy wings, and dippin' dots....
Darn, now I'm hungry.
I'm doing this for the geek I'm flirting with, but without all the extras because his birthday is right after Valentines Day, and I'm jobless at the moment.
Oooh, I just had another idea: you could pick up the pizza and deliver it yourself, dressed up in some way that he would find appealing. My geek would be getting that if he'd let me be the girlfriend instead of just the friend....
Wow, I had actually forgotten how stupid highschool english classes were until I read that! Most of mine were better than "If you were a seagull, what would you do?" (actual prompt), but that is exactly what all the standardized tests looked like.
My guess is somebody decided that creativity is much more important than the knowing what the phrase "past participle" means. Parents don't want their children to be the next $40,000/year editor at Harper Collins, they want their kid to be the next J.K. Rowling.
I don't think creativity can be taught, and the school's attempts at teaching creativity are worthless. English class basically consisted of being told "write a ten page story." So I'd write a story, then get it handed back to me with a few spelling errors circled, but those were words I knew how to spell and just happened to miss for some reason. So in the end I had learned nothing. Then we'd do it again.
Really, the places that have the highest concentration of vehicles - downtowns - seem to be almost entirely cement, glass, and brick. Out in the suburbs there's houses with paint on them, but there's not much pollution out there...unless you live in southern California. Cement might actually be more useful because there are more cement surfaces than painted surfaces in high-density parts of town.
I bought a CD two years ago that came with a remixer for one song: Volume 3: Further In Time, by the band Afrocelt Soundsystem. They're British, and a really interesting/awesome mix of African, Celtic, and techno. Bet you never would have thought of putting those three together:) Track 3 "When Your Falling" has Peter Gabriel as a guest vocalist and got some airtime on radio for about a month about two years ago. Another awesome thing they did is put an entire 2 hour concert on streaming video on their website. Darned if I can find that website anymore though.
How are they going to take advantage of me? Wal*Mart now knows that I have bought an electric blanket, developed one 24 exposure roll of 35mm film, and a Brita filter. Are they planning on bombing my house and are going to use my purchase information to figure out how many pounds of TNT they need?? It annoys the heck out of me that I have a 1/4 inch thick pile of club cards in my wallet, but I don't feel violated.
This would be great for someone who gets cold and stiff extremeties in otherwise warm environments, where taking heat away from the torso isn't dangerous. In the winter I can have a space heating blowing full blast on me, I'm sweating...but still my fingers are icicles. Guess my gender! (and I'm young and healthy...I don't get it.)
I have a 21 inch monitor that is 9 years old and still works great. It refreshes at 75hz at 1200X1600. I only bought this thing a year ago, I wonder how much the original owner paid for it back in '94? It's a Viewsonic PT813.
How in the world could he go to college if he's banned from computers??? Besides, I'd like to see their deffinition of a computer, because most would include my car airbag-delpolyment device, my watch, the solar calculator that's attached to my check book cover, the security system everyone has to pass through to get into the computer lab, and one of my school's dorms now has keycard entry...

I bought a USB-powered compressor-free fridge several months ago, and it works great: http://www.thinkgeek.com/computing/accessories/96b3/ Move along, nothing new here.

You can't, but a pharmacy can. FDA calls it a drug and regulates it.

And I'm far from the only person like this.
