    That actually sounds like a really good idea, I've got a few extra snowflakes sitting around if you'ld like to stick them in your CD ROM & give it a try, as long as you promise to let us know how it goes. :)

    Consider theese 3 letters.

    A, B, C

    There's 3 of them, assume that 3 is the number of atoms known in the universe for instance.

    There's more possible combinations of thoose 3 letters, than 3.
    A few for instance,
    AAA, AAB, AAC, ABA, ABB, ABC, ACA, ACB, ACC, BAA...

    Much like cigarette tax money goes to health education, wouldn't it be great if lottery profits were required to go to statistics and finance education?

    I wish I had mod points today, that's funny.
  7. Re:Why there is spam, how to get rid of spam on The Anatomy of Pump n' Dump Stock Spamming · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The problem with that, is that there's millions of middle-low class citizens in the world that are fully aware they will never have the things of thier dreams without taking a chance now & then.

    Spam like that is successfull for the same reasons lotterys are successfull.
    Not because people don't know, but because they're prone to greed.

    i got broken into and they stole my aircon remote and a tin of wall putty

    Couldn't have been a geek, they would have hacked your robot & made it snail mail that stuff to them.

    I believe, it was terrorists.
    The terrorists have obviously enlisted the help of McGuyver, McGuyver, having become outraged when his show was canceled, will use the remote as a timing device for the C-4 that will become of your wall putty & the lint in his new terrorist buddies pockets.

    lottery jackpot of 5RMB million (US$620,000) has donated all of the money to charity. Surnamed Wang, the man is a retired worker with the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps in Changji. "My only wish to make use of the prize for myself is to buy a new radio," Wang was quoted by the Xinjiang Economic Daily as saying. On November 21, when Wang arrived at the lottery complex in Urumqi to receive his prize, he donated the first batch of rmb500,000 to a charity project aimed at financing schooling of impoverished students. Wang donated the remaining RMB3.5 million to charity affairs through a Catholic organization, sources with the Xinjiang Welfare Lottery Center said.

    It takes Wang to do somthing like that.
  14. Sued on MySpace Sued by Families of Online Predator Victims · · Score: 1

    Maybe it's time to review the system of awarding money to victims.

    When's the last time you heard of a victim doing anything decent with the money ?
    I can think of a few people I've met personally that just squandered the money away.
    One girl was awarded nearly 3/4 of a million dollars when a correctional officer raped her while she visited her boyfriend in jail, you know what she did with it ?
    Her and her new boyfriend smoked crack with it & frittered it away in about a year.

    I'm not saying it's not saddening that theese things happen, but is giving theese people an easier means of self destruction after the fact such a good idea ?
