Three Wolf Moon "Official" T-Shirt 100% Cotton Short Sleeve Shirt KIDS - TEENS & ADULTS

5.0 out of 5 stars
By B. Govern "Bee-Dot-Govern" (New Jersey, USA)
This item has wolves on it which makes it intrinsically sweet and worth 5 stars by itself, but once I tried it on, that's when the magic happened. After checking to ensure that the shirt would properly cover my girth, I walked from my trailer to Wal-mart with the shirt on and was immediately approached by women. The women knew from the wolves on my shirt that I, like a wolf, am a mysterious loner who knows how to 'howl at the moon' from time to time (if you catch my drift!). (cont)

Snakes on the mother-fucking KID!
Jul 04, 2009 - 8:23 AM
Quote:
Click image to play video
A two-year-old girl has been strangled to death in her bed by a pet python which escaped from its cage in the middle of the night. The eight-foot Burmese python broke out of a terrarium and killed toddler Shaiunna Hare in her bedroom in Florida.
Charles Jason Darnell, the snake's owner and boyfriend of the child's mother, went to the little girl's room when he realised the reptile was missing.He found Shaiunna in the snake's deadly grasp, with bite marks on her head. Darnell stabbed at the snake until he was able to pry the child away, but the infant was dead by the time emergency services arrived.
'The baby's dead!' a sobbing caller from the house screamed to an emergency all dispatcher in a recording. 'Our stupid snake got out in the middle of the night and strangled the baby... She got out of the cage last night and got into the baby's crib and strangled her to death.'

Oh right, it's the snakes fault! IF (and I say IF) this is true as reported, it's hardly the snakes fault it did what it's built to do.

Repo man kicked in the arse by Michael Jackson clone

We saw this video hours ago and we're still trying to recover from the sheer WTF-ness of it. Suffice to say the headline delivers as promised. Also, there is no hope for humanity.
If you've been around Jalopnik for more than a few days, you know we're no strangers to the bizarre, but we're having a hard time writing at the moment because this whole thing is so utterly ridiculous we're laughing like idiots just thinking about it. A Michael Jackson-inspired dance throw-down ahead of kicking a very large repo man in the taint? Really? You have to see it to believe it below. It's around 1:50 in when the taint-kicking occurs.

Microsoft withdraws offending 'puke ad'
Jul 03, 2009 - 10:13 PM
Quote:
Click image to play video
Microsoft has yanked a controversial ad for its Internet Explorer 8 browser - which features a woman vomiting several times - after an outcry among users.
The ad, starring former Superman actor Dean Cain, depicts a woman spewing uncontrollably after apparently finding hardcore pornography on her husband's computer. The man then slips over on the mess before his wife continues to vomit on top of him.
Cain then steps into the foreground telling viewers that none of this would have happened if the man had used Internet Explorer 8, which includes a feature called "InPrivate Browsing" that lets users browse without leaving a trace.
Cain diagnoses the woman's problem as "Oh My God, I'm Gonna Puke" (O.M.G.I.G.P) syndrome.
The type of content on the computer is not detailed but, due to the nature of the woman's reaction, some have interpreted the ad as alluding to child pornography. Taken to the extreme, the ad could be seen by some as Microsoft offering tips on how to browse such material without getting caught by a spouse.

Click the image and look at the bottom right corner! That's us!!!
FUCKEN W00T!!!

 Things are gradually returning to normal for me. Just waiting for a large payout to come. From the looks of things I will be bringing legal actions against a fair few different folks but I have zero risk of losing the actions due to the grossly inappropriate actions of the people involved. Yay.

I would thank the source, but I don't want to get them in trouble too.

Michael Shermer on Science, Skepticism and Libertarianism
Jul 03, 2009 - 6:03 PM
Quote:
 In this discussion with D.J. Grothe, Michael Shermer discusses skepticism and its possible relationship to libertarianism. He argues that what some organizations define as "humanism" are actually positions that have nothing to do with humanism, but with Marxism and social democracy. He talks about why he has begun speaking out more about libertarianism as a leader in the skeptical movement. He admits that he may be more of a moderate libertarian than some others who defend that political and economic perspective. He talks about tensions within libertarianism as regards national defense, and what he sees as the need for national armies after 9-11. He explains which came first for him: libertarianism or skepticism, and talks about the influence of Ayn Rand on his intellectual development. He argues that Ayn Rand is still relevant even if her view of human nature (that people are basically selfish and that there is no such thing as altruism) upon which her economic theories are based is not born out by recent developments in cognitive and evolutionary psychology.

Financial crisis hits EVE Online
Jul 03, 2009 - 10:43 AM
Quote:
 TORONTO, July 2 (Reuters Life!) - Facing real world debts, a trusted figure in a popular online game stole money from the virtual bank he ran and exchanged it for cash through the black market...
EBank, EVE's largest player-run financial institution which has thousands of depositors, is at the center of the scandal.
"Basically this character was one of the people that been running EBank for a while. He took a bunch of (virtual) money out of the bank, and traded it away for real money," said Ned Coker, of the Icelandic company CCP, which developed the game.
The CEO of EBank, a 27-year-old Australian tech worker who identified himself only as Richard and used the online name Ricdic, embezzled about 200 billion interstellar kredits, the game's virtual currency.
He broke the rules of the game by exchanging the stolen virtual funds for $6,300 Australian ($5,100) with players who preferred to buy virtual money rather than earn it playing the game.
|
Reuters Source.
If there was a trustworthy person in EVE, Ricdic was it and now, that trust betrayed E-Bank has suffered hard with no big govt to bail them out.
This was just the first though, D-Bank, the second Eve bank had internal strife a week later and a disgruntled 'employee' leaked the d-bank database containing hundreds of player email addresses and minor personal details.
even in OTI its shit to be a bank right now.
oh and this turned up on Reuters. Internet gaming srs bsnss.

Saudi Arabia to fence itself in
Jul 03, 2009 - 10:26 AM
Quote:
 Saudi Arabia has signed a deal with a major European defence contractor to build a hi-tech security system including a fence around the whole of its 9,000 kilometre border.
The country has been wanting to build a strong border security system for some time.
Its two main concerns are its neighbours Iraq and Yemen, and the instability and lawlessness of these two countries have raised fears in Saudi Arabia that their problems will overflow the border.
Specifically, the Saudis are worried about weapons and drug smuggling.
The cost of the contract has not been officially disclosed, but a French magazine said it is worth about $3 billion.

A Dallas security guard charged with hacking the computer system of the hospital he worked for was busted by a fellow hacker, but didn’t help his case when he posted videos of his exploits on YouTube. Jesse McGraw, known by the hacker name GhostExodus, posted videos to YouTube in which he claimed to be breaking into a major corporate building, and as the “Mission: Impossible” theme played in the background, he was shown installing malware on several computers. In actuality, McGraw was in the hospital he worked at.
“He’s a security guard at the hospital, but he’s pretending to infiltrate a corporate office and he’s running around with a hoodie on over his security guard uniform and installing botnet software on a hospital computer all to the Mission Impossible music,” said security researcher Wesley McGrew. “[You] can’t make this stuff up.”

Steam are being nice again, now they are selling Fallout3 at 1/2 price.
If you haven't got it, get it! Probably the best game of last year, now so cheap you'd be a fool not to get a legal copy!
Especially now that we can all look forward to the 'Meet the alien' DLC!

Russia.......I wouldn't bet on it!
Jul 03, 2009 - 8:05 AM
Quote:
 Russia closed down its casinos overnight as gambling was banned nationwide, a move the industry says could throw a third of a million people out of work.
The July 1 ban shut gaming halls, from gaudy casinos crowned by extravagant neon structures to dingy dwellings containing a handful of slot machines.

So where the hell am I supposed to find quality Russian hookers next time I'm in Moscow. On a serious note, they are screwed. There are casinos all over Moscow....built into larger hotels, strip malls, etc. Many business owners are going to be ruined and many people are going to be out of work. Fail!

Neuromancer at 25
Jul 03, 2009 - 5:36 AM
Quote:
 The tantalizing question about William Gibson’s ideas in his novel Neuromancer involves their relationship with the course that the Web took and continues to take as Neuromancer’s publication date--July 1, 1984, 25 years ago today--recedes farther into the past. In his afterword to the 2000 re-release of the book, novelist Jack Womack suggests that Neuromancer may have directly influenced the way the Web developed--that it may have provided a blueprint that developers who grew up with the book consciously or subconsciously followed. Womack asks “what if the act of writing it down, in fact, brought it about?”
I'll take a stab at discussing Neuromancer’s major tech inventions, including the ones that are already coming true, as well as some that seem unlikely to happen anytime soon

Source
Interesting article about what Gibson got right or wrong in what is probably one of the most influential sci-fi books I have ever read. I'm assuming that you have all read this book? If not, and you are willing to admit your complete & utter geek-fail, this wiki will give you a synopsis.

Noisy women are dangerous business!
Jul 03, 2009 - 5:12 AM
Quote:
 A group of teenagers misunderstood a woman's screams during sex and, thinking they were stopping an assault, beat a 25-year-old man in her bedroom, police said.
A 16-year-old girl who lives in the same Torrington home as the 34-year-old woman overheard her and the man on June 6 and rounded up four friends to stop what they thought was an attack, police Lt. Bruce Whiteley said Thursday.
One of the five teens beat the man with a bat and others punched him, police said. The man was treated at a hospital for injuries that were not life-threatening, and was released that night.
"Apparently he didn't have time to explain himself," Whiteley said.

2 Midget wrestlers dead. JR in mourning.
Jul 03, 2009 - 4:35 AM
Quote:
 Two midgets who work as professional wrestlers found dead in a low-rent hotel room may have been drugged by female robbers, according to Mexican authorities.
Post mortems are being performed on the two wrestlers, one of whom went by the name “La Parkita” - or “Little Death” - and wore a skeleton costume in the ring. The other was known as “Espectrito Jr.”
Authorities say two women were seen leaving the men’s hotel room in Mexico City before the bodies were discovered.
Prosecutor Miguel Angel Mancera said that gangs of female robbers in the area are experienced at using drugs to knock men out and rob them, but they may have used too strong a dose.
