  1. Re:Freeze your credit report on Will Your Credit Report Disqualify You For a Job? · · Score: 1

    So jobs can't run background checks without your prior approval

    That is untrue, in Arkansas...(well, I think...I mean, why would you access someone's credit report for non-credit related info?)

    Can an employer do a background check on my credit file?
    Yes. There is an exemption for non-credit related access to your credit report and score for specialty consumer reporting agencies.

    hahaha...so it's not just our realm that is having that issue? I thought one of them was just an electronics site....the other one a gold seller...

    Hey! That is the main criteria for my next husband, they must be able to marathon WoW on weekends (we are talking 35-39 hrs of WoW on weekends...seriously).

  5. Re:Static vs Video on Wipeout HD Loading Ads Scrapped After Uproar · · Score: 1

    Actually, I think it would be hecka fun to beat down an NPC that was touting a product. I always wanted to beat up those people "fresh bread for sale". Even better if you made it an achievement to beat down x amount of 'ad NPCs'...of course, turn-off-able....from the Interface menu. The rewards could vary...depending on what NPC spawned and what he dropped (like a free case of Dew, or a keychain, free month of WoW...) but only if they made it legit and cool, not like that survey crap in Second Life. I think it would be kinda cool if they put in a shop or 2 where you could buy WoW clothing, game cards 'in game' (not exactly like it is now where you purchase outside of game and then go in-game to type in the code...or like w/ the battle-bots, where you have to get the fuel by going outside of the game first...)

  10. Re:LinuxMagic already did this on Stopping Spam Before It Hits the Mail Server · · Score: 1

    The spam filter we use already does a geography-based check. Even allows you to choose how to classify it based on geography....as well as IP, grey listing, header, recipient, sender, subject, content, bayesian pattern, honeypot.... My complaint anymore is not about the amount of spam making it in (we have had 1 that slipped thru the filters in the last 6 months, but that is because it actually spoofed an email address on our whitelist (we don't whitelist domains at all). It's the amount of traffic created, and how huge our log files get, and even if we set the amount of logging to limit log file size, then we end up with HUNDREDS of smaller log files.
