Totally beleiveable. There are certain frogs that can survive winter by hibernating in the ice. completely deprived of oxygen and food. The're bodies freeze right through - essentially they are dead. Then they bring themselves right back to life again in the spring. Perhaps this may suggest that those frogs are the oldest species of animal alive on the planet - assuming that all other animals have evolved past that ability.
Now we are going to need bigger tubes to handle all the extra internets that will be getting. Does anybody know this judges email address and perhaps have a copy of spamhaus's RBL? Perhaps the judge's email address should be handed over to every spammer in the RBL. Then he will need a bigger tube to handle all the extra internets he will be getting. Maybe he will buy some of the Viagra advertised in the internets so he can have a bigger tube.
and I have had about enough of it. This will probably be the straw that broke the camel's back. They use the most underhanded tactics to screw over their customers and their employees. As technical support, my primary job function is to SELL SELL SELL! Technical support takes a back seat - telemarketing is now my job function. When a customer calls in with a problem, say for instance they have a virus, I have to try and sell them our anti-virus software. Problem is - if the machine is already infected, installing an antivirus is not going to work. They will call back when they get their CD and complain that it won't install, then we tell them to go see a tech. Meanwhile - their computer is screwed and we continue to charge them for their service and the antivirus software. We are expected to make sales targets. I feel like a slimy used car salesman. Now I guess I am expected to invade the privacy of the customers I am supposedly helping. It doesn't seem right. I'm looking for another job.
Teacher: I'm afraid we have to put your son into a slow learning class.
Ballmer: Why?
Teacher: Well we found out he was using MSN search to research an essay. His arguments were completely wrong and his paper was 2 weeks late.
Ballmer: What do the rest of the students use? And DONT say Google!
Teacher: Ok I won't.
Ballmer: @#&*!!!!!! *throws chair*
So - what would happen if microsoft's EULA's were compared with religion???
Somewhere in M$ Headquarters:
BALLMER: The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee.
I think I will patent "method for human reproduction" and collect royalties every time someone gets laid. Then I can be the worlds most successful pimp.
I think this person's excuse is lame. As far as I am concerned - you are responsible for your own computer security. Anything that happens on your network because you were too stupid to secure it - you should be liable. I hope this man loses. If I have never driven a vehicle before, then take a car for a joyride and kill someone in the process - I can't use, "I didn't know how to drive" as an excuse. Maybe this will send a message to all the morons out there that don't know how to use a computer that maybe they should learn before they go on the internet. This man deserves whatever he gets.
Ok, I just don't get it. Why do people get research grants to come up with obvious answers to dumb questions. Of course introverts have more brain activity - they are the ones who sit in class - quietly figuring out the problems on the board while the extroverted dumb jocks are discussing the consistency of boogers with the prom queen. You don't need to get paid to figure this out - just ask any teacher. Next someone will get a research grant to determine if wheels are round. Go figure.
I guess he was deprived of playing with firecrackers when he was a kid. So now he has to get it out of his system. Look daddy! I got to play with the biggest firecracker ever! He'll probably use it to nuke an innocent villiage and he will just say "Oh they were terrorists stockpiling nukes." When asked for proof he could just say "Sorry, the proof got vapourized when the bomb went off." He likely has also figured a way of making more money from it too.
Step 1) Find bug. Step 2) Write exploit Step 3) Write fix Step 4) Let vendor know about security flaw and show them the exploit. Tell vendor you want X amount of dollars for the fix within Y days or you will release said exploit publicly. Step 5) If vendor doesn't put up the dough or produce a publicly available patch within Y days, patent said fix and disclose exploit to the public.
Yes - true but unfortunately most, if not all of the people I get calls from that are using VOIP have cancelled their local phone line. So they are relying on it. Then again - most of the people I get calls from shouldn't even be using a computer, let alone any electronic device without supervision. Its amazing they figured out the complexities of using a telephone to call me in the first place. Perhaps they just dial "0" and ask to be connected.
...is planning on taking over the spam industry next. Doesn't suprise me after they removed Claria from their list of spyware in their anti-spyware product. Guess they intend to buy up a bunch of spam companies and take them off their SecureID list for hotmail. Next they will be buying out black hat hackers and writing viruses to send out over the internet. Notice their new anti-virus tool?
DSL sucks up here in Canada. (Trust me I work for a DSL provider and I stick with my cable internet) There is a ridiculous amount of downtime for DSL internet because the technology is flaky to begin with. E.G. - big lightning storm yesterday knocked out my girlfriends DSL. Phone lines still worked though. Do you really want your most important means of communication to rely on something as unstable as the internet? Suppose lightning hit my girlfriends place yesterday and set it on fire. If she was using voip instead of her phone line she would have no way to call for help. I get VOIP subscribers calling me constantly at work to troubleshoot their slow speed problems but their sync rate is so low that their phone keeps cutting in and out. It's frustrating. Why would anybody want VOIP? I prefer to keep thing simple. Use the right tool for the right job. Phone lines are for making phone calls, the internet is for surfing porn.
Two words - Anger Management. Step 1) Take a videocamera to work. Step 2) Videorecord your boss becoming abusive with you. Step 3) Go Home. Step 4) Plug recording media into your 3D smellitouchivision. Step 5) Reach for baseball bat. Step 6) Start swinging. Step 7) Repeat steps 1 through 6.
Hmm. Lets think about this a minute. If the standalone burner burns +R discs - would it be reasonable to beleive that it can also play them? I only own one VCR and it can record AND play tapes.
RFID Chips in condoms - I like this idea. I can set up a device to scan for these at the front door and whenever my daughter brings home a new boyfriend I can bring out the pliers when the alarm goes off. heheh. 8-)
