  2. Remember, some things, once seen, can't be unseen. Click link at own risk: http://verydemotivational.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/129089125074443679.jpg
  3. Nice post Birdboy. Was it the uniform? If so, I know where I'm shopping later today :)
  4. Paper cups are already biodegradable :) Remember when we used to complain about styrofoam cups?
  5. http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Security/Google-Makes-HTTPS-Encryption-Default-for-Search-371629 Google said it is making HTTPS security via SSL encryption the default option among searchers who are signed in, which should delight privacy buffs afraid of referrals floating around. Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) Oct. 18 said it will begin redirecting most of users signed into their Google accounts to the HTTPS version of Google.com, which encrypts searches that users perform, as well as the results. The encryption comes courtesy of SSL (Secure Socket Layer), a security standard used by most banking and e-commerce Websites. Google began using SSL as the default setting for Gmail in January 2010 after it learned that Gmail had been hacked in China. The company then began offering encrypted search at https://encrypted.google.com for those who wanted to try it in May 2010. With search becoming more personalized--that is, tailored to specific users' preferences based on their previous searches--Google said it has become more important to shore up search results directed to users. This is especially true at a time when more users are accessing Google search from unsecured WiFi connections, such as mobile hotspots at Starbucks and other cafes with Internet access. What this means is that when users use https://www.google.com to search, Websites such as Amazon.com, eBay and others will know that users came from Google and will receive an aggregated list of the top 1,000 search queries that propelled traffic to their Website over the past month. These Websites won't receive any info about specific queries individuals make, such as what they searched for, when and from what computer. However, users who elect to click on an ad appearing on a Google search results page will still send the relevant query over the network to enable advertisers to gauge the effectiveness of their campaigns and to improve the ads they present to users. Search Engine Land offers plenty more on how this change works. "We hope that today's move to increase the privacy and security of your Web searches is only the next step in a broader industry effort to employ SSL encryption more widely and effectively," wrote [/url]Google search Product Manager Evelyn Kao. Many Internet companies that didn't already rely on HTTPS have begun adding the security layer to their Websites. Facebook added HTTPS support in January 2011 and Twitter added HTTPS support in March.
  6. Be careful what you ask for, you may get it. Remember, once somethings has been seen it can't be unseen :)
  7. Home depot uses those today to wisk cash away from the cashier. ...and knew how to work it! And you know that this is:

  10. If you know what the slots on the bottom of the card are for, then you're old.
  11. It's funny what you sumble upon when searhing for something else. I found this on e-How and thought the ladies might be able to use it at some point: http://www.ehow.com/how_6137253_person_s-address-isp.html How to Find a Person's Address from an ISP To protect their customers' privacy, Internet Service Providers (ISPs) do not give out their customers' personal information (such as names, addresses or phone numbers) unless compelled to by a warrant or subpoena. So if you're being stalked or otherwise harassed by someone through communications from that person's IP address (for example, through email messages), you can file a complaint with law enforcement (who will issue a warrant) or retain an attorney (who will serve a subpoena) to that ISP, who must then provide that person's personal information. Instructions Identify the ISP. If you don't already know the ISP, you can research its location through an Internet Protocol (IP) trace. Every computer device has a unique IP address, which is four segments of numbers separated by periods; for example, 127.0.0.2. You might find this IP address in the headers of the person's email or sometimes websites and blogs identify IP addresses for those who post comments. Arul John's Utilities Site provides a free IP trace service. Go to Aruljohn.com/track.pl, enter the IP address in the "Enter IP Address To Trace" box and click the "start tracking" button. The results show the ISP name and city, as well as the email address to report abuse to that ISP. Find the ISP contact information. After locating the ISP geographical region (see Step 1), find its phone number by calling directory assistance (411) or conducting a reverse business name search for its phone number and address through a search engine such as the Reverse Business Directory (go to Reversebusinessdirectory.com and follow the instructions). Register a complaint with your local police department. If you have been harassed or in any way threatened by communications from that IP address, your local police department, in the course of its investigations, may serve a warrant to that ISP. To expedite the process, provide the ISP contact information to the police. After being served a warrant, the ISP must provide that IP user's name, address and other information to the police. Sometimes the police share this information with you, sometimes not; it will depend on their policies. The police will typically contact the person and either issue a warning or file charges. Retain an attorney. An expeditious way to both stop any harassment or abuse and obtain the IP user's address is to retain an attorney, who (as part of filing a restraining order) will issue a subpoena to the ISP to produce that IP user's records (which contain the name, address and more). Unlike law enforcement, attorneys typically share this information with their clients.
  12. We'll actually, if you're chatting on CERB, you are! I must try the chat one day.
  13. I do remember waiting up till the wee hours of the night and sneaking down to the living room to see the TV show "Naked City" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0051297/). I was quite disappointed (no naked people at all, let alone a city of them) and the next day resumed my studies of digging holes and climbing trees.
  14. I first found an interest by tripping across some Playboys. I think my parents raised me well and learned most things from observation and the rest by trial and error, and using the part between my ears to try and make sense of it all and eliminate as much horseshit as possible.
  15. You're just beggin for a call from the NAAZP (National Association for the Advancement of Zombie People)!! Don't parts fall off zombies that have too much action?
