Wow...

My sister has just become a victim of ID theft as most of the money in her bank account was taken out today. She just found out about it just now.

How does ID theft even work?

I mean, I had some third tier credit union say I was dead once, but it would seem that everything would be pretty trackable.

Re: OS Off Topic

This past weekend nascar was in town and because of this the local newspaper wanted its readers to submit photos of themselves enjoying the festivities.
So I submitted one photo and they posted on their website.
The cooler part was they use the photo to give sort of a time line of events during the weekend, along side other photos by only their staff photographers.
I just thought that it was cool that my photo was the only one used that, was submitted by an amateur/not even considering photojournalism as a career, photographer.

Well one way I'd imagine is by hacking into records such as your debit card and such. It's a lot easier then you think.

So after consideration, I've decided to change my NFL allegiance to the Browns. I don't follow the NFL that much as it is, but I've fallen so out of it as far as the Rams go. I'm lucky to get to watch 1 of their games a year, plus their last two 1st round picks have been the epitome of terrible. Now that I'll be about 2-3 hours from Cleveland, I'll likely get to see every Browns game. Not to mention, Braylon Edwards is sick.

What if you don't get Browns games? What if you get Philly or Pittsburgh games?

Philadelphia is almost 10 hours away from BG. That'd be like getting Panthers games at my house, not happening.

Last time I checked, Cleveland is closer to BG than Pittsburgh is.

What if you get Lions games? Detroit is closer to BG than Cleveland is.

I'd think he would get both, given that more often than not the Browns will be on CBS, and the Lions will be on FOX.

That's what I'm thinking. Here I get the Steelers on CBS and Eagles on FOX. Makes me want to punch myself in the head every time I see one of those two teams on TV.

Re: OS Off Topic

Heh, well other then the Bills I seem to get stuck with NYJ/NYG or the national game.

Luckily I can watch just about any game I want but let's just say it's not fun seeing hated teams on TV most weeks. I also tend to get quite a few Dallas games (depending on if they're a national team at the time) During the Cowboys run the 90s I got quite a few of their games as well as in the last few years as well.

Re: OS Off Topic

Today work ended at about 4:40 pm...but of course I can't go earlier for no reason. I can stay late but not leave early.
And get this: I work at a company that prduces events such as financial and other convetions, happenings and many others. Now, the main event of the summer here is called "Cellcom Volume 2008". Cellcom is one of 3 largest cellphones suppliers in Israel. So during the summer (when students are on vacation) they have this event where teenagers pay some money and have a 3-day vacation with food, live concerts, lake, pool etc.
Now, Yesterday one of my supervisors told us that they might need some people from every department to help the workers at the event. If they need us, we'll have to spend 5 days away and work at the event (sleep there and everything). Excuse me, but I'm a graphic artist, I work at the office, I'm not one of your people that get payed for working at the events. Hell no, I'm not gonna do it if they ask me, even if it gets me fired. That's really an insolence. I'm not gonna take it and shut my mouth! Work isn't life, work is just what I do for money a few hours a day. Life is what comes after work. Screw 'em all!!!

Re: OS Off Topic

That's not the problem. Its convincing my parents I need another game system before I go off to college lol.

I plan on getting the 40gig PS3 which is $400. I don't plan on using it much other than The Show or some exclusive games, and maybe Bluray. But convincing my parents is the hard part. I have the money, but my parents are telling me I won't have time in college... yeah right lol. I'll have the rest of the summer and I will find ways to play video games at college no matter what.

You're gonna have so much free time you won't know what to do with yourself.
