Reverse Graffiti

· Score: 5, Interesting
Aye, we have several free walls here in Tallahassee, FL. I have a bunch of friends that paint, and it truly is art.
Unfortunately, most people equate graffiti with silly kids that scrawl basic tags all over the place. If you look at some of the bigger pieces(murals and such), you'll see it for the art that it is.
I actually like getting gift cards. With cash, I'll probably spend it on stupid things like deciding to eat out.
Conversely, a gift card narrows it down to where I have to spend it. I can usually find things that I want at that store anyway.
For example, I'm not a huge movie fan, so I wouldn't normally spend my money on a DVD. If I have a Best Buy gift card for $20, I don't have much choice. It's a nice excuse for buying unnecessary items.
"Plus, it's just another thing that I have to remember is buried in my wallet. I've gone to stores over and over, forgetting each time to use one of their gift cards that's been in my wallet for over a year."
You could always set it aside one day and plan out when you're going to use it. You might even be able to go on their website and find what you want before you actually go into the store(assuming that you don't want to pay shipping costs for shopping online).
I've never actually tried this, but it seems like a decent idea to me. I rarely go shopping, so it usually takes a gift card for me to make a conscious decision to go to the store.
Soulseek is good for finding obscure songs.
I like it better than other trading services, because you can see how far down on the queue you are, and because I can find stuff on smaller labels.
I think there's a decent market for people that want to know that everyone is eyeballing their car at the red light.
From what I've seen, it tends to be the retired folk that have money to spend. Atleast, that's usually who I see driving their old Ford Model T around and such.
You might be able to get your employer to allow you to plug it in to charge up while you're working. It takes six hours to charge, so I'm sure a 9-5 worker would have plenty of time for it to charge.
What about battery lifespan? He might have better luck with a smaller gas engine. Perhaps you could pull it from a weedwhacker or something of the sort.
Not to sound rude, but I think you missed the joke. If I'm correct, the comment was about the people that come up with bullshit, unscientific answers as to why they think we didn't go to the moon.
All kidding aside, one of my friends got 3 1/2 free hours of tattoo work(~$300 at the price this particular artist charges) simply for removing spyware, running through scandisk and defrag, and taking unnecessary items out of msconfig.
"I use IE exclusively and haven't EVER had a spyware program on my computer because I'm not dumb about it."
Well, there's spyware that's bundled in with legite software. WildTangent(comes with AIM) is the one that pops to mind. You also have the stuff that comes with file-sharing software.
Eh, I always imagined that Norton would say, "Oh well, I've bogged the system down with so much auto-protect nonsense that they won't even notice you."
Would you expect a new driver to know how to drive a manual without first showing him/her?
Sure, you could give him/her an automatic, but then you bring up all of the great advantages of having a manual.
Maybe it's a shitty analogy, but oh well. The point is that I would regard SAMBA as a somewhat advanced feature. It's not something that I would expect someone with no Linux experience to be able to figure out.
The fact is that Linux is something new and different to most people. I'm sure that same person that can't use SAMBA wasn't able to set up a Windows network when they first started. If you're not willing to put effort into it, then you're probably not in the situation to need SAMBA anyhow. I've let friends check their e-mail and what not on my FC1 box with KDE, and they can't even see the difference between it and Windows.
When I first started using Linux, I read a short book(100 pg. or so) on the basic history and workings of Linux, and then I got a much thicker book on my actual distro. When I needed help with something, I could look it up in the index, and had no problem with the instructions that they gave me.
I find that pr0n sites like to do this. They send me an e-mail with an html section that display a collage of pictures, while the text is simply a news story(usually about Iraq).
Odd thing is that they never use punctuation, and it always looks as if a Neanderthal pieced it together. Perhaps the text message is made by a program that crawls through online news sites for similar articles, and then takes random words of it?

Vandalism = bad
Painting free walls = good

My mistake then. I merely looked at the Compatability Key. I couldn't test it with Firefox, because I still use Mozilla 1.7.
There is one here.
"I have no idea where you got this idea it was a teller-free banking establishment. Maybe you should patent the idea."
I'm pretty sure my response was a half-joking reply to the quoted statement.
I'm sure the ATM has already been patented.
"like a day without, uh, whatever it is nerds need to survive."
Hentai and caffeine?
I'm sure someone that was trained in stage makeup could easily make a fake finger that would slip over their real one, and yet still look realistic.

G5 for sale on Best Buy's website
As someone else already pointed out, the page is hosted with IIS on a Windows 2000 system.

"When they can invent a phone with a 19" screen, 3D accelleration, a mouse and a keyboard that fits in your pocket easily, I'll buy it."
The answer is simple: BIGGER POCKETS!
I'll just point out that this is just another reason to buy vinyl. You can always rip it back onto your computer, iPod, etc.
Can you introduce me to some of your friends?
All kidding aside, one of my friends got 3 1/2 free hours of tattoo work(~$300 at the price this particular artist charges) simply for removing spyware, running through scandisk and defrag, and taking unnecessary items out of msconfig.
She ended up getting a Tux tattoo.

The prefix 'mal' means 'bad'. I'm sure the RIAA would try to argue that their copy protection is good, not bad.
It'd be interesting to see how the Congress handles that issue.

"I don't think anyone would actually pay to then be shown ads, at least anyone with some sense"
Haven't seen the AOL Welcome screen lately, eh?
