I don't think trout are pertinent to this thread. I love trout, don't you doubt it....but still, I fail to see the commonality.

no. we must fight on everyday even though there is no hope for victory. our lot in life. every Friday brings with it such a familiar sense of defeat. everyday for me is like holding my hand over the open flame.

good party last night though. girlzzzzzzz make me silly.

I just got out of a meeting with the boss and the rest of the team. Work assignments for the next couple of days. I get to call our data source and ask them why thier numbers are significantly different than those we can see on Yahoo! Finanace or the AMEX/NASDAQ websites.

OMG....I have become a lackey!!!

Aren't numbers on Yahoo! delayed by 20 minutes or so?

I'm not convinced that the 'watch live streaming shit' posts will all be removed. its kin difficult to keep up doing it manually. each time you think you've nailed the b08979879d's and go back to the home page there's more scumbags appearing.

even widening the IP range blocking isn't going to get 'em all.....

I'll send you a tea cup. I'd like you to use it to move the lake about a kilometer west. Keep me informed on your progress!

TRUE but tactical nuclear device(s) that takes out the main internet gateway(s) in those countries would be a damn fine start

True, but a tactical nuclear strike would also take out 5-8 innocent people in the offending city. I'm not willing to bear that cost to stop the spam.
