  1. Thanks Kota, but I did read the article, and I also did a little research afterwards. They DID go to jail for sending the e-mails, NOT for selling the product.

     

    The "product" they were selling was information. Basically, FedEx guarentees overnight delivery. If its not there overnight, you get a full refund. Well, 7% of FedEx overnight packages do not arrive on time. So, you are entitled to a rfund. What they were selling for $39.95 was information that told people they could basically contact large companies who do a ton of FedExing and offer to split the refund with them if the company let this person do all the work.

     

    Basically, ABC company sends 1000 fedexs overnights a day. Say, $20 a pop. 7% of them dont make it on time. ABC is due for a $1400 refund. John Smith buys this "product" from the people in the article, and with their advice, calls ABC and says "I will do all the work getting your refunds if you split it with me". This doesnt work because ABC could just have some $5.15 an hour employee make the calls to FedEx.

     

    So, it was not "technically" a scam. But it still wasnt making anyone any money.

     

    And Kota, you said they were sentenced for fraud. Actually, and to quote the article that I read: Jurors recommended that Jeremy Jaynes be sentenced to nine years in prison and fined Jessica DeGroot $7,500 after convicting them of three counts each of sending e-mails with fraudulent and untraceable routing information.

  2. she was still alive on the tape, and that's all I'm gonna say.

     

    I was having nightmares about a bunch of idiots sitting around in their office watching the tape "hey joey, you gotta come watch these idiots...."

    no kidding!

     

    I mean, if i was a security guard, i would pray to see a hot chick with a video camera. Because I know hot chicks always have pillow fights in their underwear... and video tape it...

     

    at least that's what I imagine.

     

    But seriously, what if you had been a pot-head or something, and the video had someone smoking a joint or something? Do those rent a cops have the authoirty to bust you? Whole thing seems shady...

  3. First game of the season to be shown live on TV this weekend!!

     

    At least I don't have to put up with Les Mouflons again!

     

    Go Bills - kick the snot out of them!! If ya don't - my neighbours 3 streets away will hear the screams!

    103310[/snapback]

     

     

    So, kickoff will be at 7:00pm? (you guys are 6 ahead of us, right?)

  4. Last year I brought my small video camera into the ralph for a game. Was taking some short video clips of touchdown celebrations in the stands and everything when some security guys showed up.

     

    1 complete dickwad who thought he was a tough guy cause he wore a yellow $4 jacket, and his boss who was polite and levelheaded.

     

    The tape had about 60 minutes of footage of my friends and I hanging out for the weekend, partying etc - good stuff I didn't want to lose, and about 2 minutes of bills stuff.

     

    anyway, they pull me into the hallway, ask me a bunch of questions and then ask me for the tape. I was really pissed, explained the situation, told them I'd leave the game etc. no go. Dickwad was getting all tough with me while this was going on.

     

    My video camera also has a digital camera, so it had an 8mb memory chip in it. I handed it to the guys and told them that was the tape. They believed me and were just about to walk away when dickwad looks closer at the camera and says "why does it say eject tape here?". I was busted and gave them the tape. They told me it would be reviewed by security and I may be able to get it back. 

     

    I was bummed cause I knew I'd never get the tape back, and it had some really good stuff on it of the weekend with my buddies. Dickwad keeps giving me stevestojan and leaves with the tape.

     

    15 minutes later the nice guy comes up to my seats, gives me  the tape and says 'I'm his boss, and couldn't not take it from you in front of him. keep your camera in your pocket and don't bring it back again".

     

    I couldn't believe how f'ing cool that guy was, and wanted to write a letter to the ralph about him - but didn't want to promote the fact that he broke the rules....

     

    moral of the story - I was wrong, got busted but there are nice people out there.....

    So the scene where the stripper got killed was on another tape?

     

    thank god...

  5. ICE is right. She shows the cleavage so you will look. It's all part of the mating game. A woman will consider it a compliment if you glance at her cleavage, then her face and smile.

     

    However, consider the woman's maturity level to determine how she will respond to staring or ogling.

    Older women who are comfortable with their sexuality won't be as offended by your staring because they've been around long enough to know that it's normal.

     

    That being said, DO NOT look at the cleavage while a woman is talking to you. Look at her eyes. 

     

    If guys looked at the eyes more often they might be better at figuring out when a woman is lying to them!   :D

    All I could think of was boobs while I was reading that - sorry, I'll try again.

  6. It is what he does for a living.  Those are probably his screensavers.

    103117[/snapback]

     

    Hey, surgeons dont have screensavers of open chest cavities and multiple skull fractures. . .

     

    Sadly, my screen saver is pictures of Jim Kelly, Andre Reed, Thurman, Bruce, and James Lofton.

  7. Alaska Darrin and wwovince, that's fine.. "its not over till its over"..

     

    In your two examples (Houston Oilers and NY Yankees) only ONE team needed to f-ck up and collapse.

     

    For us to get in, not only do we have to basically win out, but we need the Jets, Baltmore, Cleveland, Houston, Indy, Tennesee, San Diego, and KC to finish rather weak in order for us to go in.

     

    Impossible? Of course not.

     

    Probable? About as probable as me ever running a marathon.

  8. Mathematically eliminated.  People keep using this word like it is the end all.  It's not. There is a thing called reality.  Never do I say QUIT, but there comes a point in a football season when you look and you KNOW you don't have a shot at the post season.

     

    The Bills are there now. We will NOT Win 8 more games this year. How can you look at this schedule and with a straight face say THIS team will win more than 3-4 more?

     

    That said....

     

    Play JP starting the Cleveland game.  It is amazing to me how fans will, even in the light of Losman, say sit him a year.  Ok fair enough. We sit him all of this year. Are you ready to sacrifice next year possibly as well?  You might be.  The kid may struggle. (Note: YES JP can have an off season his rookie year and still be BETTER than Rothlesburger. *) Now you have sacrificed part if not all of next year too.

     

    Everyone bitches about the OL. Time to give that a rest. Bledsoe HAS TIME.  Numerous times the last 4 weeks we have sat at a local sports bar and you can her the unison chant....one, two, three, and sometimes FOUR.  that would be the seconds we count that Bledsoe has to get rid of the ball.  Any QB that has 3 seconds or more...has more than enough time to throw the ball.  I also think it funny that we have a guy behind the same line that has rushed for 100 yards per game in his two starts as well.

     

    My point being we are realisticly done. We can't win on the road. We will not win at NE on the road, forget it. Odds are no way in hell against Seattle on the road as well. It's not quitting to say ok, time to start preping our guys that will be starting next year.  Get JP, WM and Evans 4 straight starts together at the end of the season and it helps greatly going into the next offseason

    I was thinking the same thing while driving home yesterday. PLAYOFFS? haha..

     

    The funny thing is, there are people that say we have a chance, yet still were rooting for the Jets to beat Miami on Monday because they "hate Miami" - this is just an uninformed fan.

     

    Listen, there are legitimately TWO playoff spots to be had. We are not going to win the division, I think ALL of us can agree on that. That leaves TWO wildcards.

     

    Now, with only two, 9-7 is not gonna cut it. We need to go 10-6 and THEN win a tie breaker or two. 10-6. Ok... we have 9 more games. We need to go 8-1.

     

    Folks, we still are not very good. In his BEST performance of the year, our QB threw for 81 yards.

     

    So, I think Jim Mora said it best when he said:

     

    PLAYOFFS?!??!?

  9. Nah, just another couple of trillion and we'll have it licked.  Politicians and the lemmings who believe them...

    Wait, I know we were winning one of these wars.... was it the war on poverty?

     

    Maybe I'm wrong.

     

    Alcohol leads to other crimes, but we can still use that. Hardcore drugs only "lead" to other crimes because they are illegal.

     

    I don't know. Either legalize all of them, or stiffen the fine/punishment for their use.

  10. i buy my jerseys in the kid section  :unsure:

    102204[/snapback]

     

    Yeah, I never did quite figure out why, even with the replicas, they make them so damn big. I mean, I had to send my XXL back for an XL. Any female under 5'5 would be hard pressed to be able to even wear a small.

     

    By the way guys, buffalobills.com has a new set of jerseys. They are all of the OLinemen and they come with collapsable pockets.

  11. GTA:SA is awesome... but you need MAD time to play.  This isn't a game that you can play everyother day for 30 minutes here and there... you will get sucked in and be playing for 4 hours and then realize you were supposed to be somewhere 3 hours ago.  hahaha... It's pretty awesome if you like this style of game.  There are more "race" missions in this one, I think, and I don't really like "race" missions, but it is still AWESOME!!!  you can do soooo much more stuff.  If you are single and don't have kids, it's worth it for sure... but if you have kids, it is NOT for young people.  The "F" word is said everyother word... and so is the "N" word... even when you are just driving around or walking around.  It's funny, but it's not for a household with children wondering around.  But you don't have to worry about that, right Steve?

    Metal Gear Solid 3 comes out in like two weeks too... these two games will pay for the PS2 no problem, I think it's worth it... All I play is Madden, NHL, LOTR, MGS and maybe a cool SW game if there.  but XBOX is the best for Star Wars games... but I'm rambling now...

    102155[/snapback]

     

    Yeah, the only games i ever buy are madden (which also got stolen because it was in the PS2) and the GTA games. I loved Vice City, so im sure Ill like the new one.
