  1. Cool idea!
  2. It's no place for kids either.
  3. Short but Sweet
  4. For sure.
  5. I agree.
  6. You just can't keep a good thread down.
  7. Just for a load of laughs, David Lynch's Eraserhead If you haven't committed suicide after seeing it, try the director's cut of Blade Runner for its soothing music by Vangelis, the perfect visuals, the more than decent performance by Harrison Ford, the absolutely stunning 'Rachel' and the total ambiguity of the replica/human storyline.... Actually go to a cinema? Yikes, that's sooo....well, promiscuous.
  8. The STE: only for the very rich.
  9. That's ok. Just make sure you don't the next time....
  10. Vicky, try seeing if it will run upside-down (lay it on the crystal, make sure its perfectly horizontal). Even if it does, sounds like you need to take it to a smithy....
  11. Thanks for thinking of me, Vicky...is it perhaps because I've become a bit of a ghost myself? Whatever; but if I ever imagined that some of our hairy-armed ultra-rationalist members had their own stories to tell, I might have suggested that they do so in this thread. As for me, I do: it's absolutely true, no embellishments added, and quite a good one at that. But as they say, that's another story...
  12. Happy birthdays, evvveryone! And here's an extra-special American Love Story treat for the Pug: BLOOMINGTON, IN
  13. Hambone, that makes absolutely no sense! Not at all like this:
  14. What strange body-languge...it's almost as if the Prez is saying, "Heh...what a funny little critter! - wunner how it got past Security?" As for Laura, "Let's see....If it's Monday, this must be Queen Elizabeth? George did say today was Monday, didn't he? And do I have to take off these damn gloves if we shake hands?" I wouldn't venture to say what the Dear Old Bird is thinking about all this.
  15. Light up the Jack o' Lanterns: it's Halloween! http://www.knbc.com/slideshow/entertainmen...rce=rss_offbeat
  16. Pizz Be Upon You, Bro.
  17. Never stops. Just like Chuck Norris.
  18. Where? Anyway, not quite.
  19. Having forked up big-time like this once or twice myself, I can feel this guy's pain. Doesn't stop me from loving it just the same: http://docweasel.wordpress.com/2007/10/24/...hes-an-a++hole/ NB: you gotta click on the link and then type in the censored two esses in the address-bar... 82.

  20. A little (and I hope interesting) update: Yesterday, I posted on Yahoo's own user forum, where people like me query others on issues that they're experiencing with their accounts. Yahoo staff also read the questions, and occasionally provide information. My question - deliberately provocative - was similar to the one posted here: was it possible to hack into one's own yahoo mail account. There were no answers forthcoming since yesterday, and then suddenly, a computer-generated message from yahoo itself suggesting that I check the thread I started. When I did, I noticed that nothing had changed: still no answers. A while later, I tried to log into my alternative yahoo.fr account and got the same error messages as on my (hacked?) primary yahoo.com account: I was locked out for a second time! This time, I was ready for them, however: I had carefully entered all the correct information for the security questions necessary for generating new access. And this time, once again, the answers were rejected as being erroroneous! Eureka! I think I'm starting to get it: I think that it's Yahoo itself that froze my accounts both times. The first, probably after being notified by PayPal that the account had been used to breach their security for a fraudulous transaction. The second, after posting a query about hacking Yahoo's mail system on their own forum. The first account might have been retreivable if I had had the proper answers to the security questions. The second was probably just cancelled by Yahoo - despite my having the necessary answers - for having sollicitated hacking info on my account and right in their face, so to speak. Makes sense, no? I was able to open still another new yahoo mail account afterwards, which would mean that they haven't blocked my IP address. I'm curious to see how long this one will last - and if I've actually figured out what's really behind this mess. It would explain the lack of enthusiasm and robotic responses of the customer service reps when I called: if the first account had been frozen for security reasons, they would have been doubly attentive to attempts to re-open it. Hmm... Am I over-analysing here?
  21. I've never dealt with Yahoo.fr, so I can't say. What's for sure, is that the people in the U.S. are mighty strange....
  22. If you've got anything to protect, you might want to change them every time you think about it...just be sure you can remember what the latest one is I've got a feeling that sooner or later, everyone's gonna get stoned
  23. I appreciate the various inputs, guys... Just to clear up a few details: No more Macs: crossed over to the Dark Side: I'm using a Dell laptop running XP... and I like it just fine! I've been dealing with yahoo.com in the U.S. - even though I live in France. The poor people who have to answer the phones and talk to people like me have been reduced to the state of humbots (human robots) - they even talk like Hollywood's comical idea of a machine, as if their voices were computer generated: it's really an unsettling and rather sad experience.... like talking to the HAL 9000, but with less personality. A real tragedy, actually: these people must be really in a bad place to exhibit such alienation. That's absolutely true! I've got a near-photographic memory when it comes to the messages, folders and sundry stuff in that account. No one could possibly fake detailled knowledge of such an accumulation of data. There are even piles of attached files with my own resum
  24. Just look at our membership curve: we're almost there!
