C'mon!
Dr. Evil: You know, I have one simple request. And that is to have sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads! Now evidently my cycloptic colleague informs me that that cannot be done. Ah, would you remind me what I pay you people for, honestly? Throw me a bone here! What do we have?

My Nigerian friend also needs help with his investing, so he MIGHT be the one buying me all those UK lottery tickets......Regardless, I gave 'em all my banking information, and I'll have the money any day now.
What we need is a Ponzi Scheme WITHIN second life....I'm going to start offering real estate acquisition courses and start offering all the second life citizens with poor credit financial security in the future.
Then I'm going to take all their fake fake money, and steal it.

(ridiculous frivolous patent pending) This is worth points, people!
What people are failing to realize is that with the stock market, and these people who are day trading, they are investing large amounts of money for small periods of time. This, on a large enough scale, produce significant earnings, especially if the interest in a junk stock suddenly jumps becaue five people out of the million who get the email actually foolishly went ahead and jumped on it. Penny stocks can make a lot of money fast if suddenly they have a quick spike in interest. This is where the money is being made in these situations.
If you go to olga.net, they have a link to the legal firm handling their "letter"....
I found a handy contact us button there!:)
I'm going to hell/jail
but...Fuck it.
To whom it may concern:
The acts of demanding a "Take down" letter to the providers of OLGA.net are ridiculous. Your clients sad attempt to control their "property" under copyright laws, though I'm sure legal in nature, are an aberration to the law itself. Just because it's legal does not make it right. Olga provided no COPIED material. People just FIGURE OUT how to play songs. Where does this stop? do all bar bands now get busted for playing cover songs? Do all kids trying to learn songs at home on their guitars without the help of your clients precious "Content" violate these same laws? I may be misinformed but OLGA and their provider were seeking no profit (save maybe ad revenue to handle bandwidth issues) from their representations. it is something that is a valuable asset to those people trying to learn guitar, and to be quite honest, your clients attempt will backfire. The "geek" community is a large one, and this type of ridiculous attempt at controlling data and information on the Internet has failed and will continue to fail as long as the geeks among us are resolute in keeping information free. Many geeks play guitar, gentleman, and in choosing your path, you have alienated a large percentage of your customer base. I for one will never purchase any sheet music again, and I have a considerable library of legal, copyright protected and fully licensed material. The customers that you are attempting to salvage will be of little or no significance when the majority of these same customers boycott your products on principle. Enjoy you last days.

there's a great book called Schroedinger's kittens, some good back story on fundamental physics, etc. Author John Gribbin Talks about Quantum mechanics, historically, and even ...in regards to recent developments, and how we got there.

Am I the only one envisioning the Dining hall from Harry Potter here?
Picture it...storm clouds overhead, rain, winds, and inside, a temperate, dry 72degrees.
We could also do it with millions of freakin LASERS.
Never...no, no, ALWAYS, check your references...
What would you use a laser that big for?
I dunno, making enormous swiss cheese?
Didn't anyone ever tell you to make sure your optics were clean?
Here, try this
