> FBI Job Opening
For the final test, the FBI agents took one of the men to a large metal door and handed him a gun. “We must know that you will follow your instructions no matter what the circumstances. Inside the room you will find your wife sitting in a chair. Kill Her!!!” The man said, “You can’t be serious, I could never shoot my wife” The agent said, “Then you’re not the right man for this job. Take your wife and go home.” The second man was given the same instructions. He took the gun and went into the room. All was quiet for about 5 minutes. The man came out with tears in his eyes, “I tried, but I can’t kill my wife.” The agent said, “You don’t have what it takes. Take your wifeand go home.” Finally, it was the woman’s turn. She was given the same instructions, to kill! her husband. She took the gun and went into the room. Shots were heard, one after another. They heard screaming, crashing, banging on the walls. After a few minutes, all was quiet. The door opened slowly and there stood the woman, She wiped the sweat from her brow. “This gun is loaded with blanks” she said. “I had to beat him to death with the chair.” MORAL: Women are evil. Don’t mess with them.

Very interesting.

Telling the truth, is absolutely the most selfish thing you can do. Before you go commenting and telling me what a buffoon I am, let me explain. Let’s say you decided to cheat on your significant other… if you told her that you cheated on her, you’d be hurting her. In doing so, you are relieving yourself of guilt – which is very selfish. So, let’s rewind for a second and review what’s happened. You relieved yourself of guilt, in order to hurt someone, by telling them the truth… isn’t that selfish.

This was interesting, at least it was to me. A group of robbers stole 43.5m from a bank in England – not a single injury either (which is pretty amazing). Link here.

KiLLBiLLZeRo: Seriously them haq-gwais like to tell you “gung hey fat choi” even though its like the summer.
AC: If guns kill people, then it must be the pencil’s fault for getting a bad grade on a test.

“Don’t worry, my heart, it don’t ever quit. I ain’t ready to check out” – Carlito Brigante.
Where am I? why… here I am! Apart from work, there really isn’t much to update anyone on. Recently I’ve been capturing some of my gaming sessions and making videos out of them… however, I can’t seem to get rid of the grainy (?) look that seems to superimpose itself once it passes through a renderer. It happens regardless if, say, I’m running F.E.A.R. and rendering at the same time or dedicating my machine to just rendering. I wondered if this was just a problem with the Dualies and that god awful mess of an operating system known as Windows XP-X64, so I booted two other computers in my room (a 2.8ghz Northwood and a 3.6 ghz Prescott) and they both displayed the same symptoms that plagued the Dualie. It’s probably some minor detail I’ve overlooked. I don’t know how the average person does video editing, a one minute twenty-four second clip takes up over a gigabyte of space – and I’ve got just a hair over 92 gb of uncompressed footage. Compression is for faggots… or wannabe faggots who want to do video editing. Just kidding.

Group pic… wait, who the hell are these people.

Superbowl XL prediction: Steelers.
Q: Are you watching the Superbowl?
A: I’m not not watching the superbowl…
Q: It’s Superbowl “XL”, I wear a medium… can I still watch?
A: After reviewing the play, the call on the field stands. You can still watch.
Q: What kind of atmosphere can I expect?
A: Roughly 78% nitrogen and 21% oxygen with trace amounts of other gases.
Q: Is clothing optional?
A: Not optional. Required.
Q: As a representative of the scientific community, I must provide clarification to a question. Fresh air is approximately: 78.1% Nitrogen 20.9% Oxygen 0.9% Argon 0.1% Carbon Dioxide, Methane, Rare inert gases
A : Details, schmetails. Between the ranch, bean dip, and other miscellaneous (yet delicious) snacks and good eats, it is quite possible that the ratio of Methane will shift considerably. However, I cannot be put on the hook for ALL of the methane shift. Thanks for writing, do not pass go, do not collect $200.

Happy New Year ::shrugs::

I joined a guild… they’re kind of rough around the edges though

About 3 million mesos later, we made it to the end (leaving behind several dead bains). Sadly, not everyone made it to the end alive. -
In hindsight, behind every tragedy is possibility. Perhaps the pilot pricing isn’t so bad because the change is going to force people who’ve become accustomed to their old ways into thinking of new and different solutions to the same question. Not to mention that people are willing to pay the higher premium if you’re selling certainty in an uncertain world. I’ve got a headache so I’ll keep this slightly dusto-style.

Korean Maple Story (click on image to enlarge)
This is a quick mini-guide to Maple Story.
!!! TIP – It is important to know which stats to increase. Otherwise, you
may find that you don’t have the required statistics to wear your armour or
weapons in the HIGHER LEVELS. I made this mistake and wasn’t able to wear
my proper armour at level 20 because I didn’t have enough STR as a Warrior.
And at level 30 I didn’t have enough LUK as a Bandit to wear my dagger.
Which Stats For Job Advancement?
—————————-
Warrior level 10 | 35 STR
Thief level 10 | 25 DEX
Bowman level 10 | 25 DEX
Magician level 8 | 20 INT
Which Stats For Later?
—————————-
Warrior STR and DEX (more STR)
Thief LUK and DEX (more LUK) **
Bowman DEX and STR (much more DEX)
Magician INT and LUK (much more INT)
Each job only needs to apply Ability Points (AP) to only two types of
Abilities as shown above. For example, if you are a Warrior, don’t place
any AP into LUK or INT.
Magicians, if you keep missing monsters, do not put any AP into DEX,put
it into INT to increase your accuracy.
** Thieves do not need strength, unless they are STR Bandits. LUK Bandits
use daggers that require no STR, while STR Bandits use daggers that require
a small amount of STR. If you are unsure, you can put 10 points into STR by
level 20 and see if you like being a STR Bandit.
AP can also be used to increase HP and MP. I suggest not doing this. HP and
MP will increase with every level-up without you adding AP to it.
Rolling The Stats Die
—————————-
!!! TIP – Before creating your character, make sure it has good stats. If
it hasn’t got stats that you are pleased with, you can click on the red die
to get new stats.
Good stats would have 4 or 5 in the abilities that your job doesn’t need.
But if you can’t get good stats, it’s OK. But since you can roll the die as
many times as you like, you may as well try a few times.

Beware: [mini] Wall of Text
I’m not sure how often some of you sell items using eBay, specifically anything in the ticket category but they are introducing a new pilot pricing. Effective January 24th to Febuary 7th, all Fixed priced listings will have zero insertion fee but a FVF of 10%. The pilot was created to introduce a success-based price model similiar to other sites that high volume sellers use. This is just a pilot and any future pricing pilots or changes will take seller feedback into account (yeah, right) because the idea is to partner with larger sellers out there. The goal is to find a palatable fee model that volume sellers like where they can list for a minimal/zero amount like they do elsewhere in the industry. 10% is rather high in this case, but that’s why it’s a pilot. Over th next two weeks, they will draw data/conclusions based on seller activity. On StubHub and other sites, they charge around 10-15% to the seller in the form of a mark-up on the tickets and they recommend sellers could follow suit here and add the incremental cost to their eBay price. This is not an apples to apples comparison because a mark-up is not the same as a direct fee, but the general idea is the same.
The purpose is not to make more money for eBay during the week of Super Bowl, but instead to test out what sellers think of not being charged to list, but having a higher FVF like their competition. The assumption is that since football is practically over, with the exception of the Super Bowl, this will help focus sellers to list ASP baseball and basketball tickets on the site.
Am I the only one who saw something wrong here, because not paying an insertion fee is certainly nice but the 10% FVF is like taking three times the normal amount you’re regularly being charged. The purpose is not to make money during the week of the Super Bowl… I call Bullshit on that. Joe Blowme with two pairs of tickets is going to be glad he can get a listing of his pair of tickets for no initial cost… and even worse, he could literally make thousands of listing for the same pair of tickets and effectively flood the market creating greater exposure for himself while only getting juiced for the FVF of 10%.
The solution that they offered was to apply the 10% FVF onto the listing itself to eliminate the backend but that’ll only retard sales/volume. “Uhhh, we’ll charge you $30 dollars more than usual and uhhh, you can charge your customers $30 dollars more than usual.” Now that we’ve bluntly bludgeoned logic into submission, I suppose you could just create an auction and append a BIN slightly higher than that of the starting price. It’s like the difference between 10% and 8.5%… so you can choose your poison there -_-’
On an unrelated note, I have like $200 dollars in my business account… i r teh pore.
O i c wut u did thar!
o rly?
ya rly.
