the 2012 trivial drivel thread

[HairOfTheDog]

Smoke 'em if you got 'em - that's my motto. Don't care where they came from. If you give one a puff and it doesn't suit your taste, don't pick it up again. Easy. Talkin' about cigars here.

But, I dig Dick a whole lot no matter what - can't deny it.

I know all you motherfuckers are crazy assed paranoid since 9/11, but three hours to get through airport security for a country where every second person is walking around with an anxiety disorder and a crack whore on every other street corner is just a tad ridiculous...

It even took your own citizens two hours to get through the line...seriously, wtf?

Crash if you have time i'd love to hear your experiences and impressions while you're over here! do a thread? is it your first time in the States?

[Maggot]

The powers that be will not let us have airport security like Israel, profiling is not politicaly correct. So suffer bitch, nobody likes it.

[crash]

Ok, LC, I started a thread...should be interesting. I've been here before, lived her for a while, but different part of the country and a long time ago. My first impression is the place has changed....a lot!

[Lady Cop]

everyone is going to love your diary of an Aussie in the US...

just stay out of jail mate!

[crash]

Well I know who to place a call to if things go awry....

Hmmm....can you PM me your number please?

Just in case?

Blame Bush and company.

[Cracker]

Blame Bush and company.

Yes, because he is the President.

It's not like anyone else has had a chance to change anything.

Yes, blame Bush. It's what all the really smart people do.

If we're talking about flight delays and increased airport security, I blame the fact that international terrorism is a fact of life and we saw the affects of naive security processes 11 years ago. Nobody wants to see that again. Sad, but true, the extra time and precautions are necessary to ensure safety. It's inconvenient as fuck, but I dont' think it will or should change (except for increased efficiency or screening technology) with any President until/unless the threat is gone. Probably not happening. Another 911 or some irritation at the airport? I'll take B.

It only takes that long for the profiled ones. You probably look like a terrorist.

I'm afraid to look in the "are you a hunter" thread. I don't go in there at all...ever.

I'm a pansyass, I can deal with dead human bodies but not dead animal bodies. *sigh*

[Duchess]

Every time I get snarky with Dick I end up feeling bad. Jesus Christ.

oh shit, his name is GILLIGAN





Jeff Gilligan, who was a passenger on the American-based cruise ship Star Princess last March, holds a laptop in Portland, Ore., Thursday, April 19, 2012, with the photo he took of a fishing vessel adrift in the Pacific Ocean off the Galapagos Islands while on the cruise.(AP Photo/Jeff Gilligan)
The lone survivor of three men lost at sea for 16 days on board their fishing boat is enraged at a cruise ship for not stopping to save them when they had a chance - a belief shared by passengers who saw the stranded vessel.

Not sure if it's bullshit or not:

WASHINGTON (AP) — For computer users, a few mouse clicks could mean the difference between staying online and losing Internet connections this summer.

Unknown to most of them, their problem began when international hackers ran an online advertising scam to take control of infected computers around the world. In a highly unusual response, the FBI set up a safety net months ago using government computers to prevent Internet disruptions for those infected users. But that system is to be shut down.

The FBI is encouraging users to visit a website run by its security partner, http://www.dcwg.org , that will inform them whether they're infected and explain how to fix the problem. After July 9, infected users won't be able to connect to the Internet.

To check (or possibly infect, haha):

http://www.dcwg.org/detect/

From FBI site:

UNITED STATES v. VLADIMIR TSASTSIN, ET AL.

The FBI is seeking information from individuals, corporate entities and Internet Services Providers who believe that they have been victimized by malicious software (“malware”) related to the defendants. This malware modifies a computer’s Domain Name Service (DNS) settings, and thereby directs the computers to receive potentially improper results from rogue DNS servers hosted by the defendants.

If you believe you have been victimized in this case, please type your DNS information into the search box below.

Information on how to determine your DNS settings, along with other technical details about DNSChanger, can be found at www.fbi.gov/news/stories/2011/november/malware_110911/dns-changer-malware.pdf.
