General Discussion / Re: What is this thing?
Sun 19/08/2007 03:06:50
Not going to lie,

I'm extremely afraid of this neighbor because he is a total weirdo and doesn't say anything to anyone except for when he chased after my friend who was riding his bike on the sidewalk saying that he was a fiend and should be killed, but anywho...  :-X

I didn't unscrew it or even touch it, that is just the way it is sitting there. If I could remember what used to be there (and i wish i could) I'd let y'all know.

the FCC id is: GIF 2005F

i've tried to look that number up (searching, and FCC) but no results

General Discussion / What is this thing?
Sat 18/08/2007 21:44:00
A couple days ago my neighbor got this installed on the side of his house. I'm curious of what it is or what it does. On the side it has an FCC id number so I'm assuming to transmits, receives, or otherwise communicates with something. On the one end it has a threading as if something can be screwed onto it, and the other end is open with the wiring coming out. The wires of different colors come out and two of the same color wires go respectivly into a plastic thing with a 3M logo on it.

Give me some kind of idea about this device if you can,

Thanks!

the fact that you are using Norton in the firstplace is where all this sadness and trouble starts.

When I first got my brand new windows XP computer and it came with norton i was fucked with virii and bullshit warnings from Norton from day one. It doesnt protect for shit compared to say...AVG-Antivirus/AVG-Antispy. Get those. They are FREEEEEEEEEEEE forever and ever, updates DAILY. More than Norton even.

get them at their completely safe homepage where no virii reside.

Thank you so much for your input.

I'm writing a screenplay about workers in a 1904 shoe factory whom are going to try and form a union. I have about 10 pages so far but I'm a little stuck, mostly beacuse i'm terrible with dialogue. If someone can give me some input and help with what I have already i'd much appreciate.

Hahahhahah. Good stuff. After I finish my screenplay I was thinking about writing a story about an employee of an antivirus company, the company is actually producing viruses that other companies cant remove.

Liked your comik funnnny stuff.

Soliders and military leaders, whatever they do (well, all soliders and military leaders do same thing), deserve to be shot, by wild tradition of humankind. Not hung hanged.


Saddam never served in the military and I dont know if being the dictator of your country and doing your own thing instead of listening to the actual military leaders makes you one of them.
The uniform he wore was completely fake and just something he made up to look more dashing.

I think the posture and all that is very nice and fits the bone genre. I agree with you about the leg.



To fix that I moved our right side of the body over 2 pixels and glued him like that. I think I even put the shading back right. Other than that I think it's wonderful!
