@HardwareGeek said in 📧 The Official Spam Emails Thread™:
@Zerosquare My first thought was more along the lines of "do I look like someone willing to work with SAP," but that, too.
Yeah, I'm not enough of a SAP to work with Accenture either
Well I got a response indicating the scammer didn't read or didn't care, just asking for confirmation of all my personal details. I get bored easily so I just deleted everything.
@dhromed said:also,LE BOAT??! Apparently they were originally going to call it "Le Home Of Purple Dildo Murderer With Burial At Sea" but after consulting with the signwriter, "Le Boat" was the cheaper option.

You mean that isn't a misspelling of cron?
@da Doctah said: Typical foodie DIY pretentiousness. Why would anyone go to all the trouble of making your own ice cubes at home when you can get a bag containing ten pounds of them for in the neighborhood of one dollar? Since even McDonald's sells them you can use the drive-thru and not even have to get out of your car!
You have a freezer and a faucet in your car? Amazing.

Been reading up on BattleTech in preparation for MechWarrior Online, and I came across thishttp://www.sarna.net/wiki/Apple_Computers_Interstellar Hopefully by then they're writing good software. That might be just long enough for all the current NextStep-based code to be phased out. Imagine high-tech battlefield missile guidance systems as poorly-built as XCode.

Has anyone taken the time to ask the car how it identifies itself, or are we just going to start slapping labels?
It's a German car. It follows whatever orders it's given. Yes, but does it prefer 'he', 'she', or 'they' ? I believe in German, a car is "it".Sort of like Chaz Bono.
@PJH said:Finding naked pictures of Louis is left as an exercise for the reader.(No | fuck right off | die in a fire)+I had respect for him when he slowly wound up a male porn star in his disarmingly naive way and never got cockpunched. However I caught him in another programme where he was an apologist for a scamming thug, making out that the toerag had been "forced" into a life of crime because others around him were more affluent and he felt he had to rise to the challenge.I suspect somewhere he was being satirical but it came across as being so sycophantic he practically lapped his interviewee's sphincter into a vacuum.
If you go to Google Maps and search for "Volkswagen Group Sverige AB" (Volkswagen's Swedish office) you find this street-view:(click picture to biggify)
@RTapeLoadingError said:On Cassidy's suggestion I have added a box of popcorn to the facilities in our toilet. I have to say I'm not a fan. It's not nearly as absorbent as normal 2-ply paper. Try omitting the butter topping. It takes up valuable absorbing space.

@El_Heffe said:A few days from now will mark the 100th anniversary of the opening of Fenway Park, home of the Boston Redsox -- April 20, 1912.April 20, 1912 was also the 23rd birthday of Adolph Hitler. I wonder if he went to the game. No. He was too busy chisling the iceberg that sank the Titanic.Little known fact: It was meant to be a well-sculpted tribute to the wonders of Jewish engineering. But since he sucked as an artist, it broke apart on the pass-by, and sunk the ship. That's why he turned evil. Some people still theorize that he placed a sigil on the bottom of the hull, and sunk the ship intentionally in order to raise Cthulu, but had his research wrong. Cthulu isn't in the Marianas Trench, he's in Challenger Deep.So what does that tell you about James Cameron?
@morbiuswilters said:I'd need a photo of her to be certain, but $42.75 seems like too much.There are many other source from where you can get the photos of her. Spending $42.75 would be much enough!
imgur - that's the one!I know imageshack was boycotted by a pile of forum users elsewhere I frequent, and I recall the sitename being "small".Didn't know that tinypic history.Looks like imgftw.net is broken (I tried a quick search, and many thumbnails 404 on the original)
Wow, this thread is great. If I ever find more time to read more comics I'll be sure to return back here.In the mean time: Wayward Sons and Yet Another Fantasy Gamer Comic [nudity now and then].Both comics are updated daily, including weekends, and yet they maintain a good level of writing, drawing and entertainment.
@Cassidy said:and had an E or 3 in there From what I understand, in Ontario, E and 3 are treated as the same character for the purposes of uniqueness. Same with 1, L and I-- Q 0 O, etc.I would hope the search routine takes that into account. SearchTerm = SearchTerm.Replace("/[E3]/", "'[E3]'");
@blakeyrat said:When Bethesda released the "Creation Kit" (i.e. the game editor for Skyrim), I looked into it. Unit testing for quests? Not there. No hooks to add it. Pathetic. No wonder the end product was so buggy...
The really craptacular part is that anything you can do with Skyrim quests, you can model as some form of attributed workflow, which means whole families of automated tests (soundness, deadlock detection, etc.) are possible that wouldn't even require the writing of unit tests.
Massive fail on the part of Bethesda.

How topical the Skryim stuff is! Number 7 "Its not a bug, its a feature!" (sic) has to be Bethesda's Radiant AI...
@Sutherlands said:How stupid. How does crap like this become news? The media are obligated to let Ed Begley Jr know whenever anyone pulls something like this.
@mott555 said:Then you find out that the neck you bought uses odd-sized bolts to attach to the body, and the only manufacturer of that size of bolt uses a weird alloy which chemically reacts with the wood in the body and causes a severe self-sustaining exothermic reaction. So you do some research and find that that's been a known issue for 15 years now and no one has bothered to fix it. Also, when you ask why the guitar lit on fire everyone gets all elitist and calls you names instead of telling you how to put it out. tells you to RTFM.
@DOA said:How long after the system sends a low HDD space alert can we expect them to clear those log files?
[pause] Seventeen days.
Seventeen days? Hey man, I don't wanna rain on your parade, but we're
not gonna last seventeen hours! Those things are gonna get huge
just like they did before. And they're gonna fill up the partition...
Hudson!
...and they're gonna fill up the partition AND THEY'RE GONNA CRASH THE SERVER!
I laughed because it's true. :(

On the bright side they seem to finally forgot the two girls.

I just dug it out of tftsb.net's whois info. You know, since the girl's photo is on tftsb.net. Must be her number. Makes sense to me.
We may be able to figure out our esteemed peer's place of employment, but I reckoned that might be going too far.
