Haha it looks similar to when you connect to a terminal with the wrong settings and you just get a bunch of garbage. I really don't get what these type of spammers try to accomplish. I used to get them all the time on my forums until I implemented lot of security. One of my forums has 3 captchas, it tells you to enter the one that's different. (two are always the same). Oddly this seems to have twarted 99% of the spammers. I honestly did not figure it would work that well.

A garbage truck driver thought it would be a good idea to make a u-turn across the medium strip on I-10 during this morning's rush hour, in the dark, with no lights. I guess the next exit was an exit too far at one mile ahead. He didn't kill anyone, this time.

Had too much wine and sake last night, got no sleep, and must pull off a miracle to muscle through tonight's margarita festivities. God help me.

I moved somewhere I don't really want to live and am paying about $500 more per month in rent and insurance so I could be close to the office. One day later I got put on a project which I can't work on from that office and haven't been back. Now that office is closed and the new office is closer to my old place. :p

Saw a news story about a local counterfeits seizure. Who the fuck counterfeits a Magic Bullet?

Lmao. I don't know what's funnier, the fact that someone counterfeited THAT, or the fact that it was involved in seizure. I'm totally picturing a FBI raid of someone's garage where he's making these things lol. IP laws are freaking hilariously overboard now days. The guy is probably getting like 25 years for that too.

We have a tomato sitting on our counter. It is a nice looking tomato. My wife realized that we had bought it in early September. It hasn't dried out or changed appearance in any way in three months.

Drinking Courvoisier, Not something I often get, and it doesn't feel as good on my stomach as scotch.

I want to get a realtor's lock box to put outside -- people often forgetting keys. But I'm not sure how secure it is. Every chain, fence, or doorknob I can think of attaching it to, you can probably cut through in an hour or less which is easy to do in the dead of night. Once you get the lock box, take it home and go to town.

I'm also seeing reviews saying they can easily be picked. Best idea appears to be locking it at someone else's house but I don't have any friends in the hood.

I don't know who Mazda thinks they are... spamming be with car ads in French for weeks now. I'm a Honda/Toyota bitch, your ads do nothing for me.

Bt lock or keypad lock.

Just use a solid combo lock box. We use them all the time as agents in in NE NJ and I really don't hear about any issues about them being broken into. It's either the heavy duty push button lockbox or the MasterLock spinning dial lockbox. The thickest metal railing you can find to lock it to that it fits and that's the best you can do.

Keypad/bt lock requires work... Buy lock, attach, walk the fuq away is more my style.

Ya, probably could just lock it to something thick and walk away. Keep it in the backyard and maybe no one will notice it. There's a screw-in model that may be more secure unless it gets pried off.

I found out that being mentally retarded is too broad a classification. According to a site I found, the DSM-IV (outdated now) has 4 categories of mental retardation based on IQ... These, of course, cover older terms such as moron, imbecile, and idiot that corresponded to IQ ranges.

These East Coasters keep scheduling meetings "after lunch", which means they're at 11 or 12 for me. This is timezoneism!

Same here. Those online classes/webinars are almost always on around 1 p.m. their time or around noon here and I have to eat lunch at my desk while watching those boring classes to fulfill all of the CPE requirements.

I hope that at work we switch over from Cadence Orcad and Allegro to Altium. The sooner the better. Ever since the 64 bit version is released of orcad, it has non stop weird bugs. And the hotfix packs do nothing.
