I was associated with a venue and got an approval to run an event on September 11th. I advertised it with big posters with the WTC on fire and whatnot.
:-)
There were horribly annoying videos in the Facebook event and a list of acts that was pretty offensive.
... bbbut Facebook wasn't around in 2001 yet...
... a, you mean, you did this for another September 11th, during one of the following years?
Man, this is just tasteles...
... but these guys did it in a much more classy way, just a couple of weeks before the real September 11th:-)
... or these guys (no pics, sorry, they must have pulled them all during the last ten years, but the ad pictured a structure similar to New York City's Empire State building bending out of the path of a low-flying jet. The ad slogan read, "If only all metal were Flexon." The ad appeared on the inside cover of the August 2001 issue of various optician's trade rags). And, talking about bad timing, some people found a flyer of it in their mailboxes on the morning of September 11th...
No need to send an invoice. You just use your inflated number for promotional purposes, in order to attract more real members. You know, a dating site is more "interesting" to the public if it already has more members. So, even non-paying members are interesting.
Half of daters aren't pretty so instead of fishing in a small pool of prettiness and getting nowhere dive into an ocean of uglies and have more choice
Ugly people are a better calibre of human - pretty people generally aren't very nice and tend to be a bit shallow
Ugly people have had a tougher life and therefore tend to be more considerate and more loyal. A recent TUBB survey also proved that they try harder in bed.
Once with an ugly partner it is unlikely that anyone will try and take them from you meaning you can let yourself go completely once you're together.
In these straightened times TUBB is cheaper as a) We don't charge much as the pretty sites and b) Ugly people have lower expectations - for a first date A Family Bucket will usually do the trick.
Yes, indeed. The Europeans were too busy criticizing the Hungarians for their new overly restrictive media control laws, and failed to notice that France is passing laws that are far worse... (Hadopi, Lopsi,...). But you can't criticize a founding member, can you?
You'd have to be at a point where either you knew something really terrible and were pushed by conscience or you were just so depressed that you wanted to hurt yourself to do something like that.
... or so drunk that you wanted to impress your mates at a party with your top sekrit knowledge...?
I don't think the shortening of "application store" to "app store" will be able to withstand the attack of genericity.
Who sez that it's a shortening of "application store"? It would work just as well as a shortening of "apple store". And I've even heard that moniker used by some iPhone toting colleagues.
How about "screw your video, gimmie the transcript (if it is just a news anchor reading from a transcript anyways), and gimmie a direct download link to an mp4 otherwise (for song videos, porn, news that contains actual worthwhile video footage, etc.)"
And how about if youtube led by example here? Isn't it weird that google wants to force open standards in Chrome, yet they cling to proprietary flash in their own video serving platform?
What do they need the password for? They don't want to use the thing, they want the data. As long as you don't have your data encrypted having the device is more than enough for them, no password needed.
Phones are getting more and more powerful. For some devices, such as the Nokia N900, it is indeed within reach to encrypt critical information. However, this obviously needs to be balanced against convenience. If you've set it up such that you need to re-enter the password on its tiny keyboard for each access (sending an SMS to one of your contacts in your address book, connecting to a Wifi,...) it's way inconvenient. If, on the other hand, you set it up to cache the encryption password, it will be useless against this threat model: police won't certainly leave you the opportunity to press a panic button to flush the password from memory.
Why do these web sites have to have a formatting that sucks so much? Just cut the useless sidebars and silly backgrounds, and format the text in a normal way. This is way beyond annoying. And these people try to give lessons to others?
I'd think (hope), that the law would only apply if you impersonated a real existing person. Not for making up a fantasy profile. Just be careful to not call your fantasy profiles James Smith...
(so those that know they have the newest version of flash wouldnt be alarmed)
So, make the next one a bit smarter... re-use original flash detection script, and only attempt to download the malware if the flash player is not actually the very latest version (also consider minor versions, to keep your target audience as big as possible). The download would be a wrapper around the real latest flash player, so that users won't get suspicious if they view the e-card twice.
As an added bonus, the malware could rummage through the user's cached browser passwords, and check whether any of them gives access to a CMS which happens to have flash content... and wrap that content appropriately.
How do I get money in and out of the Flattr system?
- Currently, Flattr supports most credit cards and direct banking. We're using Moneybookers and PayPal to achieve this. To get money out of the system, we currently support PayPal only.
They realize he had condomless sex with both of them.
There is only one way to avoid such situation (apart from always wearing a condom...): just have a f'ick threesome. That way everybody's happy. At once:-)

It would freak me the hell out if I got some email or something from someone (or from a website, on behalf of someone) flirting with me
You mean, you don't already get such mails?

Hehe, ... try harder in bed ... family bucket...
Interestingly enough, the original version was wrongly assumed to be short because the men of his Imperial Guard, with whom he 'hung out,' were very tall, creating the illusion that Napoleon was short, so it's quite understandable that the current garden dwarf wants to avoid similar misunderstanding. It's bad enough already with all the 10 year olds spitting on this head...

A weapon that destroys your enemy's economy in a matter of years is still a viable weapon.
Yes, lets nuke the Brits from orbit! Deploying cows of mad destruction to make all of Europe sick. No, the nerve!
Fortunately, the Germans have their mighty dioxine eagles (a.k.a. chickens) to defend the continent!

Indeed. Do you want a green one, or do you prefer a red one? :-) But be careful about your loose tooth!
YouTube is available in HTML5 as well.
Didn't know that. Is about time :-)
And the HTML5 version works in Chrome and Safari, and probably Opera as well.
And what about Firefox?
The default is the Flash player
Why?
though you can change it.
How?
Want to show your support for Android and hatred for iOS? Use Flash only on your web site!
Actually I hate Flash more than I hate iOS... , so don't count on me :-)
And I'm sure that there are certainly other less intrusive means to put the worm into the apple :-)

finding one that's willing to route your requests, and I doubt that those are cheap.

Baby ferrets have firmware?
They do indeed have tiny brains in their tiny heads, containing a tiny amount of firmware
There's two suns and no women, what the hell am I supposed to do?
Well, there's plenty of hot men...

I never understood the appeal of replacing every occurrence of a single quote with a bitmap of a turd.
Especially, for technical blogs, where people might post shell commands, which break if their quotes get changed into something else.
So, why exactly are people still continuing to use wordpress? And if this is configurable, why doesn't anybody switch this option off?
That being said, does anybody have a link to a non-wordpress source of this story?

I want to know the identity of this rookie college moron.
I also want to know which college trained him, so I can make sure to tell everybody to avoid that garbage establishment.
Next, since this was based upon false evidence, I want to see him, and those responsible for handling him, sued into oblivion.
... and I want to see a photo of this rookie.
This shit is getting to a breaking point.
No, please have an enema before seeing me, I don't like my banana brown.

it's all but impossible to have sex with a woman who is asleep without pretty much waking her up completely in the process?
I don't know about women, but I do know that is is possible with men.
A guy that I know occasionally sucked his buddy's dick while he was asleep, and did it so well that his buddy even came, all without waking up.
