    Just got another call from "Card Services" (I'm not answering these, just silencing it then googling the number), but this time the number is different. I wonder if posting the number here got that number shut down? Either way, the new number is 251-725-1770

    It is definitely the same place

    I am constantly getting robocalls from "Card Services" at the phone number 775-410-1104. I haven't ever owned a credit card. I've tried my best to try and get information so that I can do something about it, but they hang up as soon as they think you are on to them. You can't call the number back. Is there anyway to nail this entity?

    That was exactly my point. These are being built as purpose oriented devices, not general computing.

    Ah yes. tigerdirect.com is notorious for this. Call up, complain, get it fixed, then "We would like to offer you a free copy of x", which is actually a subscription auto-billed to your credit card. They will only take a hang up as an affirmative no. I started just paying the few bucks for newegg.com

    Not necessarily. If you want a cluster on its own little network, it acts as one machine, so logically to everyone else it should come across as one logical host when routed out. Regardless of IPv6 or not

    I haven't seen a "Made in Thailand" mark in, it has to be, 15 years. I just looked around at everything in my immediate vicinity, and it is almost all "Made in China", except for this pad of sticky notes that is "Made in USA" and my shoes which are "Made in Philippines"

    You can attribute that to trying to explain what you are dreaming about while you are sleepwalking.

  25. Re:In my experience, yes it does on Pot Smokers Might Not Turn Into Dopes After All · · Score: 1

    You are viewing it from one perspective and putting too much faith in that one data point. It reminds me of my daughter when she is doing something dangerous and I tell her "You are going to get hurt!"... "But I didn't!"

    You are viewing pot, like a drug, as in cocaine-meth-style drug, rather than say, caffiene. A cup or three of coffee can be a godsend, but drinking pots throughout the day will kill you in more ways than one. Don't like that comparison? One vitamin is good. Six are not.
