MHizzle85 Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Nov 30, 2010 -> 02:26 PM) Does anybody know if the Metra happens to run any later trains on New Years Eve? The last ones all leave downtown around 12:30/12:40. I highly doubt they do, but maybe I'm wrong. I'm pretty sure the latest they run on any night is 12:40. I could be wrong though.

HuskyCaucasian Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 (edited) QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 1, 2010 -> 07:40 AM) Random things that come through my email box.... E.T. found? (False) rumors swirl Rumors and speculation are swirling on the Internet about the subject of a news conference to be carried live at 2 p.m. ET Thursday on NASA TV "to discuss an astrobiology finding that will impact the search for evidence of extraterrestrial life." "Astrobiology is the study of the origin, evolution, distribution, and future of life in the universe," NASA explains in its advisory. And that's about as much as the space agency is saying about the discovery right now. However, the advisory includes a list of the speakers for the briefing. That's what led to the online guessing game. Among those speakers is Felisa Wolfe-Simon, a researcher at the U.S. Geological Survey who says she's concentrating on "arsenic biogeochemistry, cyanobacteria, novel uses for as yet undescribed metalloenzymes and of course, arsenic-based life!" Other speakers include NASA astrobiologist Pamela Conrad, who specializes in planetary habitability assessment; Steven Benner of the Foundation for Applied Molecular Evolution, who studies the chemical foundations of biology; and Arizona State University's James Elser, who focuses on life in extreme environments. Blogger Jason Kottke put all those pieces together and speculated that Thursday's announcement would be about the discovery of life on Saturn's moon Titan. But that suggestion was shot down as false in a Twitter post from The Atlantic Monthly's senior editor and science blogger Alexis Madrigal. Will the secret survive until Thursday? Back in August, NASA let information slip out an hour before the embargo lifted on a report in the journal Science about the discovery of two giant planets in constantly changing orbits. In that instance, NASA made its news release and other information about the discovery publicly available. Going even further back, to 1996, there's the famous case of the Mars meteorite study that leaked out in advance of publication in Science.

Your move, Hoss. . . Poem by Demetri Martin Dammit I'm mad. Evil is a deed as I live. God, am I reviled? I rise, my bed on a sun, I melt. To be not one man emanating is sad. I piss. Alas, it is so late. Who stops to help? Man, it is hot. I'm in it. I tell. I am not a devil. I level "Mad Dog". Ah, say burning is, as a deified gulp, In my halo of a mired rum tin. I erase many men. Oh, to be man, a sin. Is evil in a clam? In a trap? No. It is open. On it I was stuck. Rats peed on hope. Elsewhere dips a web. Be still if I fill its ebb. Ew, a spider… eh? We sleep. Oh no! Deep, stark cuts saw it in one position. Part animal, can I live? Sin is a name. Both, one… my names are in it. Murder? I'm a fool. A hymn I plug, deified as a sign in ruby ash, A Goddam level I lived at. On mail let it in. I'm it. Oh, sit in ample hot spots. Oh wet! A loss it is alas (sip). I'd assign it a name. Name not one bottle minus an ode by me: "Sir, I deliver. I'm a dog" Evil is a deed as I live. Dammit I'm mad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heads22 Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 I got really drunk last night and did some things. We now have a new vacuum cleaner from somewhere.

I got really drunk and got in my 1st fight 2 nights ago (and kicked out of the bar I was at). I decked the kid in the face and stomach for talking s***... And considering I've never been in a fight before, I thought that was crazy... But whipping it out in front of a bunch of people at a bar... now that's ridiculous.

BigSqwert Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 FBI says it has nabbed 'king' of spam mail A 23-year-old Russian is accused in Milwaukee of generating a third of the world's computer spam. An FBI agent is credited with bringing down the 'king of spam' -- a Moscow man accused of controlling a network of infected computers generating an estimated 10 billion unwanted e-mails a day. A federal criminal complaint says the FBI and the Federal Trade Commission have been tracking Oleg Nikolaenko since at least 2007. He was arrested last month during a visit to Las Vegas. He's scheduled to appear in federal court in Milwaukee Friday. His attorney, Christopher Van Wagner, says they are prepared to present "a rigorous defense." Authorities subpoenaed Nikolaenko's Google mail records and say they found files like the malware that ran his robot network, called botnet.
