Dont f*** around with people on the internet!

Man burns down trailer in online feud

ELM MOTT, Texas - A Navy man who got mad when someone mocked
him as a "nerd" over the Internet climbed into his car and drove 1,300 miles
from Virginia to Texas to teach the other guy a lesson.

As he made his way toward Texas, Fire Controlman 2nd
Class Petty Officer Russell Tavares posted photos online showing the welcome
signs at several states' borders, as if to prove to his Internet friends that he
meant business.

When he finally arrived, Tavares burned the guy's trailer
down.

This week, Tavares, 27, was sentenced to seven years in
prison after pleading no contest to arson and admitting he set the blaze.

"I didn't think anybody was stupid enough to try to kill
anybody over an Internet fight," said John G. Anderson, 59, who suffered smoke
inhalation while trying to put out the 2005 blaze that caused $50,000 in damage
to his trailer and computer equipment.

The feud started when Anderson, who runs a haunted house
near Waco, joined a picture-sharing Web site and posted his artwork and
political views. After he blocked some people from his page because of insults
and foul language, they retaliated by making obscene digitally altered pictures
of him, he said.

Anderson, who went by the screen name "Johnny Darkness,"
traded barbs with Tavares, aka "PyroDice."

Investigators say Tavares boiled over when Anderson
called him a nerd and posted a digitally altered photo making Tavares look like
a skinny boy in high-water pants, holding a gun and a laptop under a "Revenge of
the Nerds" sign.

Tavares obtained Anderson's real name and hometown from
Anderson's Web page about his Museum of Horrors Haunted House.

Tavares took leave from his post as a weapons systems
operator at the AEGIS Training and Readiness Center in Dahlgren, Va., and
started driving. Investigators say he told them he planned to point a shotgun at
Anderson and shoot his computer.

Instead, when he got to Elm Mott — after posting one last
photo of a "Welcome to Texas" sign — Tavares threw a piece of gasoline-soaked
plastic foam into the back of Anderson's mobile home and lit a flare,
authorities say.

if you gonna piss somebody off on the internet make sure they dont have your address.. and they are not crazy.... and u still might want to do it in person so u can see who you up againts

SCAMS! (updated)

I guess most ppl would have realised by now how cunning/sly/evil some ppl can be.
and theres always the naive (i.e. me and you...or not) who gets tricked.

So theres this scam going on the internet (of coz...since almost everyone uses it) which asks you to UPDATE your BANK info (the only info they'll use is your ATM card number and pin number) OR ELSE they will SHUT DOWN YOUR ACCOUNT.


But you see...i don't even have a PayPal account...
Oh and btw, Firefox does have this security feature where they can detect for fraud websites.


Yup! sexyyyyy
To get this sexy feature you can download firefox somewhere on this website. I know there's a link. Somwhere...

Oh and i got another email yesterday saying that you can get a job by typing stuff for companies at home and earn money.
Not too sure if its a scam since it was sent to my uni email account but after doing some "research" in forums....most ppl reckon its a fraud too. You're actually supposed to sign up with them and in order to do that you have to pay a certain amount of money.


Fraud or not i don't know. But i think if i want to get some money i'd be better off doing a real job =)

I won't get sued for putting this up would I?

add on:
pretty sure it's a scam now.

Stange things on Google earth

Amazing things you can look for in google earth.....
Celebrity Obsession
As if Oprah Winfrey's celebrity weren't big enough already, an Arizona farmer built a 10-acre homage to the talk show host (Google Earth coordinates 33.225488,-111.5955). Visitors can tell their friends, "I got lost inside Oprah's head." The celebrity-obsessed can also visit Google Earth Hacks, which has a Google Earth-style map of Hollywood stars' homes.

Map Mysteries

Some of the sights you find in Google Earth are just plain mysterious. For example, why is a fighter jet parked (Google Earth coordinates 48.825183,2.1985795) in what looks to be a residential neighborhood lot near Paris? And why is this lake in Iraq (33.39845000,44.48416800) blood red?

Crop Circles

Without a doubt, the best thing that ever happened to crop circles is Google Earth. This circle in the desert just outside Beatty, Nevada (Google Earth coordinates 37.401437,-116.86773), is one of hundreds spotted with the software. If you're hoping that looking at enough crop circles will give you clues about the arrival of our alien overlords, download this set of Placemarks to crop circles.
Caught on Satellite

Sometimes Google Earth is lucky enough to catch things as they happen. Here Google Earth captures a truck that crashed (Google Earth coordinates 46.765669,-100.79274) outside of Bismarck, North Dakota. In another instance, Google Earth caught fishermen illegally bottom-trawling (28.102512,-14.265835) beaches near Spain's Canary Islands.

Bikinis From Space
Spend enough time on Google Earth, and you start thinking that the world is a pretty low-resolution place. But Google Earth is steadily updating its maps with high-resolution pictures. Zoom in on this Google Earth satellite shot of Australia's Bondi Beach (Google Earth coordinates -33.892351,151.27538), and you can almost read the designer labels on the bikinis.

Huge and Unique

Finding huge and unique things via Google Earth is one of the most popular activities within the Google Earth community. This giant pink bunny (Google Earth coordinates 44.244273,7.769737) in Prata Nevoso, Italy, was built by a group of artists from Vienna, according to published accounts. It's 200 feet long and answers to the name "Hare."

Big Commute

Google's satellites sometimes catch the Earth's inhabitants on the move, like these ten African elephants (Google Earth coordinates 10.903497,19.93229).
Only From the Sky
Dubbed The Badlands Guardian by locals, this geological marvel (Google Earth coordinates 50.010083,-110.113006) in Alberta, Canada, bears an uncanny resemblance to a human head wearing a full Native American headdress--and earphones, to boot. Of course, The Guardian was produced naturally. For a more synthetic wonder that can be truly appreciated only from above, check out the giant man-shaped lake (-21.805149,-49.089977) near Bauru, Brazil.

Shark with webbed FEET...!! wooOT?

Shark with webbed feet found in Malaysia.....

A worker of the Malaysian Fisheries Development Board (LKIM) in Batu Maung,
Penang, made this unusual find when she was given the 1.7kg fish by a fisherman
at the jetty recently.

When contacted, Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) Muka Head marine research
station head Prof Dr Zulfigar Yasin said this is the first time he had heard of
fish with legs found in the Malaysian waters.“There is a possibility that the
fish could have swum from other waters into Malaysian waters.“As far as I am
concerned, fish species with legs or bony fins can only be discovered in the
waters of North Sulawesi in Indonesia or South Africa,” he said.

Wake up call

Something a weeeebit serious today.

Sometimes we need a wake up call - in whatever form - so we wont get too comfy and start taking things for granted!


I sure had mine so that I don't slack off anymore. Hopefully it'll last until i graduate =)

"Life is never smooth sailing" were my mom's word of wisdom =P "Just remember to stand up after you fall. Don't give up!"

Gravity Pods

Gravity Pods is a vector-based physics shooter / puzzle. The objective is simple: shoot a projectile at a target. Of course, there are some barriers, and naturally there is a way around those barriers. By strategically placing Gravity Pods around the screen, you can bend the path your projectile takes, so that it goes around walls, down halls, curves back on itself etc. The trick is figuring out where to put them to lead the projectile to the target. The first levels are simple, but it gets progressively tougher as the courses get harder, and more elements come into play.

The game took about two weeks to program, part time. Then about a week of creating levels followed by a week off and another week or so of tweeking things to get it just right.

got to level 20 then gave up.. give it a try!

JokeS!

Tight Skirt, Bus Stop

One day, at a bus stop there was a girl who was wearing a skintight miniskirt. When the bus arrived and it was her turn to get on, she realized that her skirt was so tight she couldn't get her foot high enough to reach to step.
Thinking it would give her enough slack to raise her leg, she reached back and unzipped her skirt a little. She still could not reach the step. Embarrassed, she reached back once again to unzip it a little more. Still, she couldn't reach the step.

So, with her skirt zipper halfway down, she reached back and unzipped her skirt all the way. Thinking that she could get on the step now, she lifted up her leg only to realize that she still couldn't reach the step.

So, seeing how embarrassed the girl was, the man standing behind her put his hands around her waist and lifted her up on to the first step of the bus. The girl turned around furiously and said, "How dare you touch my body that way, I don't even know you!"

Shocked, the man says, "Well, ma'am, after you reached around and unzipped my fly three times, I kinda figured that we were friends."

Lunch Anyone?

A little old lady sits at the luncheonette counter and orders a hamburger. The huge guy behind the counter bellows, "One burger!"
Whereupon the chef grabs a huge hunk of chopped meat, stuffs it in his bare armpit, pumps his arm a few times to squeeze it flat, and then tosses it on the grill.

"That's the most disgusting thing I've ever seen," the old lady says.

"Yeah?" says the counterman. "You should be here in the morning when he makes the doughnuts."

The Firing Squad

A man was scheduled to go before a firing squad for his crimes. The evening before his execution, he was asked what he wanted for his last meal. He refused the meal completely.
The next morning the man was brought before the firing squad. When asked for his last request, the man said he had none. The General in charge of his execution asked him, ''Sir, you refused your last meal and your last request. Isn't there anything you want before you die?''

The man thought for a moment, then said, ''Music has always been an important part of my life. If I could do but one thing before I die, would you allow me to sing my favorite song from beginning to end, without interruption?''

The General thought this was a reasonable request, and ordered his men to lower their weapons and to not interrupt for the duration of the song.

''Ten million bottles of beer on the wall...''

Stuttering Problem

A man visits the doctor's because he has a severe stuttering problem. After a thorough examination, the doctor consults with the patient.
Doctor: "It appears that the reason for your stuttering is that your penis is about six inches too long and it is thus pulling on your vocal cords, and thereby causing you this annoying problem of stuttering."

"Ddddd octttor. Whhaaat cccan I dddo?"

The doctor scratches his forehead, thinks for a minute and states that there is a procedure where we can free up the strain on the vocal cords by removing the six inches from the penis and freeing him from this horrible problem. The patient stuttering badly states that this problem has caused him so much embarrassment as well as loss of employment that anything would be worth it. The doctor plans for the procedure. The operation is a success and six months later the patient comes in for his check up.

Patient: Doctor, the operation was a success. I have not stuttered since the operation. I have a great job and my self esteem is fantastic. However, there is one problem, my wife says that she sort of misses the great sex we used to have before the extra six inches were removed. So I was wondering if it is possible to reattach those six inches.

The doctor scratches his forehead, thinks for a minute and says: "I dddoonnnbt ttthhhinkkkk thatttt wooould bbbbee possssssibbble!"
