Go to google,clear your address bar and insert this

javascript:R=0; x1=.1; y1=.05; x2=.25; y2=.24; x3=1.6; y3=.24; x4=300; y4=200; x5=300; y5=200; DI=document.images; DIL=DI.length; function A(){for(i=0; i-DIL; i++){DIS=DI[ i ].style; DIS.position='absolute'; DIS.left=Math.sin(R*x1+i*x2+x3)*x4+x5; DIS.top=Math.cos(R*y1+i*y2+y3)*y4+y5}R++}setInterval('A()',5); void(0);

Try it with blogspot blogs too

UrlSnooper / Re: which WinPcap?

« on: January 31, 2007, 02:22 PM »

I can't speak for mouser,except i know he's got a lot on his plate.Sometimes some of his other
babies,like find and run robot,get a little more attention.I'm a daily user of Url Snooper and rarely have had any problems with Beta or non-beta.

As far as a new beta,i don't know what features he could add,then again i'm not a programmer.

« on: January 30, 2007, 01:30 AM »

Granted 4.4-5.0 and less than half a years worth of service isn't the biggest loss i've encountered.
But if you bought software less than a month ago,then got hit again,no way,hell no.And i don't care
if the programmer is running his outfit out of the garage rubbing two pennies together.

"Their software,their choice." - "I purchased,my beef" 

"Small time software companies can't always provided convienent upgrade paths or discounts on upgrades."

Their profession and hardships make them no better or worse
than my profession(laborer for a landscaping company) and my hardships.Their special how?
My paycheck is effected by the weather and fuel prices,not bandwidth.No Sympathy!
Go ahead and let a company say their crooked (a matter of opinion,i know) But my sympathy
is limited to the handicap and terminally ill.

I'm slighty angered(i cooled down a little,i found this out in the morning) but no one on earth
could convince me of an upgrade after less than a month.Good lord,you pay your utilities you
at least get a month of service.

I intalled the "upgrade",that's how i found all this out,and it was an Major upgrade only by name.

I want a Mashup Style fastfood joint,all on one menu,so i don't have to cross the street.

I want a chili cheese burrito i.e.Taco Bell,frosty from Wendys (they got good french fries too) and
hot wings or buffolo wings,i like wings...with ranch dressing.And an ice cappuccino, Tim Hortons

Tim Horton's ice cappuccino should come in bathtub size."Sir do you want a small,medium or lar---" no mam i want a bathtub full of it ,the marketing people can call it the "Tub"

I actually posted a discount code back in December for their software,and chances are,if you bought from them,your already getting hit up for an upgrade fee.

I don't know maybe it's me but i think this is wrong and maybe you can chime in...

Say i purchase a 4.4 of their ConvertMovie application in July,then not even a year later or a 4.5,4.6,4.7,etc
they zip to 5.0.I have to admit to their credit they say "Major Upgrades" will cost a fee.But not even a year
later.I'm sorta lucky,mind you if you bought their suite,that i gave a coupon to    in December,your already
getting hit for an upgrade fee a month after cause they rounded up their versions 4.0,5.0.

That is shady,and i'm sorry if anyone got burned by this.
Don't be fooled by their professional apparence and thier oh so hey-their-are-humans-behind-this-company blog
(most likely friends of the family)
Put this on your sh*tlist for future reference.

I am sure we will all agree that this was one of the worst games ever.

(you can watch the full game being played and won)

What is funny is how many people actually bought it. Every time I buy out someone's full collection of old atari games, this one is almost always in it. (I buy old atari collections at yard sales)

It was the worst game ever and i bought it too,everytime i watch a documentary about video games,it was E.T. that marked the end of the videogame boom...then Nintendo and Mario revived it.

Hmm,it would be hard to find an all in one solution,especially freeware.

For a freeware vector graphics program i highly recommend Inkscape

And then maybe a freeware animated gif creator

i4get75, try installing QuickTime or QuickTime Alternate.. movies from my sony-ericsson play fine with them.

also, maximum time for movies can be changed provided you have an add-on memory card. but user forums for this phone will have a better idea on how to do it, try googling for them..

Living Room / Re: Some thoughtfull worries about google misbehavior from FireFox developer

« on: December 31, 2006, 01:23 AM »

Oh i did some extra credit...

When you envoke "What would Hitler's deceased Jews say about Google?"

You did draw comparisons.

When you partake in Google products it's an option,you take it
or leave it.The Nazi's took you,if you where Jewish,gay,mentally
handicap or physically handicap,etc, then they killed you.
They killed you if you where lucky.They experimented on many,
slave labored others and even made furniture out of the dead.
They would stuff pillow cases with human hair.When they shuffled
the Jews to gas chambers,they would have them take off their shoes
and tie the laces together so they could organize the shoes easier
after they where killed.They're countless other stories,that one
is one of the more tamer ones.

You take the approach like you've graduated from the I see through
all the B.S. College,i'm sure you've seen all the documentaries
on google,i'm sure you've read all the insiders blogs from disgruntelled ex-employees,etc.

I suggest you study the holocaust.The Jews with catalogue tattoos on there arm didn't have an option
to clear their internet browser cookies and delete their cache,change
their ISP,and get a new start.(I feel like such a fool even making
holocaust and tech comparisons to state my case,this is a first and
hopefully last.) 

In short,worst possible scenerio,google knows everything about me,
what i read,what i watch (pron),where i shop,who i call...


If i know one thing,regardless of tech privacy issues,political climate,political
affiliation,nothing,and i know things are f*cked in the world today,but nothing compares
to the holocaust.

Ok i rolled up my sleaves and did my homework or maybe i did someone else's homework
i don't know.



What would Hitler's deceased Jews say about Google?
The deceased don't use search engines.

Ditto for Stalin's 50,000,000?
Stalin should use Google's Calculator,he killed many but not that many.

Ditto for Mao Tse Tung's millions?
Yes ditto for them too,communists don't use capitalists tools,who gonna blame?

Ditto for Saddam Hussein's political rivals?
They would've use google maps and found the WMD'S


"I am serious about wanting you to answer these questions.  Here are a couple more..."

We are all so glad your serious,cause it's makes oh so funny for the rest of us.

Would you feel the same if each of the above had access to Google and you were their citizen?
I'd use google earth and escape.

Have you considered that even if  Mr.G#1 and Mr.G#2 are benevolent that one day all that data will be in someone else's hands?

It already is.

They're called the phone company and the credit card company,they know what kind of tinfoil
you buy.
