  4. Re:Hrm. on Who's Trading Your E-mail Addresses? · · Score: 2, Informative

    with gmail, if your address is foo@gmail.com, you can send mail to foo+bar@gmail.com (it might be bar+foo@gmail.com, i can't really remember) and it will get to your account.

    You can then set up a filter for it. I find it a good way to filter mailing lists.

    It can become a problem where some sites wont allow + in the email address

    every object you create in SL can have scripts http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linden_Scripting_Lang uage added to them, that fire on different events, ie touch, never ending loops or the right click menu etc.
    some of the commands let you create/spawn (i cant think of the word they use) other objects, like rain, or stars that follow you as you fly around. These objects in turn can have there own scripts too.
    i don't know my self how they normally stop never ending loops of created objects other than them asking people nicely not to do it.
    Some people have asked to able to disable the scripts but this, i think would have a to greater effects as every thing, doors, cars, lifts, dance club lights etc use the scripts.

    i don't mind it, as long a people remember that its really just a glorified chat program with scripts, ie irc with a gui /fish

  19. Re:Trivial search - and the password is.... on Googling for ATM Master Passwords · · Score: 1

    When i got my last bank card, the 'guy' behind the counter said that most older machines are only need 4 numbers and ignore the rest, esp ones over seas. He told me this because he said that a lot of people are losing there cards from wrong pin numbers.

    i try it sometimes esp on machines that dont 'take' your card. Seems a fue of the ATM use let me just entre the 1st 4 of my 8ish digit pin, some let me enter the 1st 4 right and wrong numbers for the rest.

    just a question, But how close do you think one would have to be to break the skin on a aircraft? You say the effective range on the Barrett is 2km, but is that enough to break what ever metal is used on the skin of a plane or just something like human skin? This seems like something that aircraft designers would look at, not just bullets but other 'things' that could hit an aircraft.
