You referred to my pre-scripted emails as robo-scripts. What's the 1-800 number version called ... robo-switchboards?They're even more annoying and less helpful.

I guess if they can make at least 22 days of interest on peoples money, it's well worth the effort..... But like I've said for years and years, "There's no truth in advertising in the U.S.A."-Tinman57 (March 24, 2013, 07:04 PM)
I agree, most advertising can't be taken at face value, especially in the US. And as far as being worth the effort? I don't think I received any reply emails from a live person. The wording in all 5 responses seemed to be pre-scripted. And they didn't appear to pertain to the email it was answering or just contained blanket-statements. Like Horoscopes.
Programmed replys would be a pretty easy one-time setup... wouldn't it? With a trigger, after x-amount of emails from the sucker, to give a refund?-crabby3 (March 25, 2013, 07:56 AM)

Yeah, but as long as shotguns with 00 buck-shot is legal, they'll have a hell of a time keeping them in the air. Honestly, I thought it was a hawk raiding my chickens!!!lol

Considering the limited range of a shotgun with any anything except rifled slugs or sabot rounds, I think I'd rather have the Redback Weapon System.

I don't know about "mildly addictive". I dip, and let me tell you, if I go too long without a dip, I start Jonesing real bad. But I do enjoy dipping and have no plans to give it up. I gave up smoking back in 95, and I don't drink enough to be considered a drinker, so I need some kind of vice in this world.-Tinman57 (March 23, 2013, 07:17 PM)

Crazier still, I know someone who is participating in a study of the cognitive benefits (preventing dementia/alzheimers) of nicotine. She has been told in the course of the study that when separated from tobacco smoke as the delivery system, nicotine is just mildly addictive and has no known carcinogenic or arterosclerosis propensities.

Facebook, their Walled Garden, and McAfee Anti-Virus – What Really Happened
On Sunday, a number of Facebook users reported being locked out of the system. When they attempted to log in they were presented instead with the a series of screens, informing them that their computer was infected, and providing a link to a free scanning service by McAfee antivirus software....

Protect your home from drones (in the U.S.)
A startup plans to sell anti-drone technology to those who want to defend themselves from the thousands of commercial drones that are expected to one day troll the U.S. skies.
Are cheaper pharmaceutical drugs on the way?
By Charlie Osborne | March 22, 2013, 5:08 AM PDT
The Supreme Court will hear arguments on Monday concerning the patent disputes and “pay for delay” tactics.
Often, large pharmaceutical firms are embroiled within patent disputes that not only cause a delay in treatment and sometimes testing, but can keep new drugs off the market longer than necessary. Also, in order to make sure prices stay high, another practice is common. According to U.S. and state regulators, pharmaceutical firms make deals with rivals to keep cheaper products away from consumers.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has branded these deals “pay for delay,” in order to generate additional revenue for drug companies, and they cost consumers, insurers and government bodies billions of dollars annually.
Having fought pharmaceutical firms in court for over a decade, the FTC’s case has now landed in front of the Supreme Court. The question is whether such deals are anti-competitive or illegal, something both U.S. and European authorities have debated. In a brief, the FTC commented:
“The continuing stream of monopoly profits is large enough to pay the generic competitors more than they could hope to earn if they entered the market at competitive prices.”
A decision is expected this year.
Hm, I think ThinkGeek used to sell caffeinated water - brew your coffee with that.

Oh dear, diet Ritalin in gum form
Seriously, I was a gotta-have-at-least-one-cup-a-day coffee drinker, and never had sleep problems, etc. until the day I ran out of coffee and money on the same day. I got a headache that would kill a horse (good thing I'm not a horse, *ba-dum-pish*), and began weaning myself off caffeine that day. I still enjoy a good 'cuppa joe' made with the best decaf I can afford, but even the best methods for removing caffeine unfortunately remove some flavor as well.

Half a glass of OJ with two tablespoons of nutritional yeast mixed in would give you a bigger boost, last longer, and be considerably safer. Probably taste better too.-40hz (March 18, 2013, 04:29 PM)

A controversial Internet scanning project has come under fire for illegally accessing and running code on remote machines. The Internet Census 2012 project, revealed Sunday in a post to Seclists.org, discovered 420,000 embedded devices accessible using default credentials. The unnamed researcher behind the project then used the devices as a botnet to scan most of the IPv4 address space.
