  1. Re:umm on Student, Denied Degree For MySpace Photo, Sues · · Score: 1

    There are idiots among us! With hunts will always happen b/c again, idiots are among us. And to answer the last question: no.

  2. Re:Ditto NT4. Sort of. on AOL's Embarassing Password Woes · · Score: 1

    "The first 14 characters are still used in Lanmanager hashes though, so this is only a security hole if the attacker can access the hashes."

    That might be a good point, but if it gets hacked its still an issue. If there is a chance it can happen, more than likely, it will at some point or another.

  4. Re:I live in Europe on Wednesday Is Pi Day · · Score: 1

    The person that said > Probably because of the way they say the dates, "I have an appointment on March 14th" rather than "I have an appointment on the 14th of March". More than likely is correct. Other reasons I can think of: Someone is lazy and if they dont say the month first, they have no idea what date they are truly speaking about. When I was in travel, I became used to typing in dates as 14Feb07, so that has stuck with me, people think Im odd abit, but I dont care, it actually seems to work better for me.

  5. Re:Anyone miss the 20's? on Connecticut Wants to Restrict Social Networking · · Score: 1

    Yea serious, Im sure the fine would carry for awhile, but the only way to beat kids that are sneaky is to be sneaker. As for the pervs, I got nothing, sorry, still gotta work on this abit, but Im sure with heavey mod and admin work, we can keep the pervs away - look how well its gone lately!

  6. Again on MySpace Not Guilty in Child Assault Case · · Score: 1

    Where are the parents? Seriously, who would let their 13 year old on MS? And why is there no more parental control, sometimes I feel like there are only so many good parents left.....if they are not smart enough to monitor someones access on a computer, they shouldnt have one!

  10. Wow! on Gamers Divorced From Reality? · · Score: 1

    "We'll be back with a follow-up article within the next few weeks that talks about the differences between the two, and what gamers can expect from their $500-$600 purchase." For 600USD I damn well expect alot, is any part of it made from gold or will it do my dishes?

  19. Many companies now are not disclosing any info on Is the Do Not Call System Working? · · Score: 1

    at the end of the call. In a past life, like afew others I have read here, I did the phone work (telesales/telemarketing/survery for political/abortion/ministeries........everything people hate of course). Both companies I worked for, followed the end call pharses to the T, any person who didnt was auto let go since the company did not wish to recieve that up to 11k fine. However, in the past year I have noticed many companies that call here (and yes we are on the DNC, and yes you do need to re-register every so few years as another posted), end up spoofing their #, being rude with a loud click end, etc. From this week:

    Tue, 12 Sep 2006 17:42:33 -0400. Call 1, a woman @ 5:28pm Hello this is . from NSR We are on DNC list, please remove. *loud click from her end*

    Call 2, a man @ 5:30pm Hello this is . from NSR We are on the DNC list, I just asked a co-worker of yours to remove me two minutes ago. *louder rude click on his end*

    So if you reverse the # it brings you to: Cc NSR 3000 Riverchase Galleria Birmingham AL 35244-2315

    But if you reverse the address it gives you: Motherhood Maternity, same addy, same #.

    If you try and call the # back you get *Beep* That announcement is not defined. *Beep* Kinda weird, you know had either rep being abit nicer rather than demand I speak with them, and they were legit, sitting here being about ready to give birth anytime now, maybe I would have spoken with them. And I will never know the real people that called, unless they do call back and I actually sit thru the speel. :)
