Mobile Scam Charges?

2011-07-25T15:53:00.003-04:00

Took a look at my AT&T wireless bill today and noticed that Theresa had $48.11 in extra charges. Extra charges for unwanted and not signed up for games/ringtones/wallpapers/horoscopes. Looked at the other phone numbers on the bill- mine and Shelton's also had 3.20 and $10.69 extra respectively for games/ringtones. Called AT&T up and within 10 minutes had the money refunded and a block placed on

Bill Collector - QAR

2010-08-24T14:47:00.001-04:00

Just received a call from an automated caller showing phone number 856-295-1010 (8562951010). I don't remember the name given by the automated caller (a person's name not the company) but the live person that picked up stated that his name is Michael Harper and he works for a company named QAR. When I asked him what QAR stood for he told me that QAR is the company's name and it doesn't stand

[ubuntu] Wine Uninstalled but still showing on the program list

2009-07-10T14:16:00.001-04:00

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=805698Quote: the reason those shortcuts don't get removed is because wine (not the actual program running under wine) created the shortcuts, and so the uninstaller (which is a windows program run through wine) doesn't really know where to remove them, and wine doesn't really keep track of them.

Gmail Not Working on Firefox with Adblock Plus

2009-05-14T19:40:00.001-04:00

I had to go into the Adblock Plus (ABP) options [Tools > Adblock Plus Preferences] and under My Preferences I had to uncheck or delete the line for https://mail.google.com. Not sure why it did that, maybe it had something to do with the routing of Google traffic through Asia today?

McCain's Brain - Funny Politics Parody

2008-09-28T08:43:00.004-04:00

One of the funniest political parodies I have seen this campaign. McCain makes some of the funniest faces- better than 'W'. Anyone else notice that the voice of the Brain, while belonging to a guy named Daniel, sound like Will Farrel of SNL? Also, some of the lines the Brain uses are very similar to ones that Will Farrel has used on SNL.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7sGjAWSUCNQCheck out older

I find it funny to see Trent using "pwn3d" in an email. :) I think I will skip the date with Jeordie White whether or not condoms are supplied- thanks anyways!Message from Trent: Hello everyone.I'd like to

Getting your (my) wisdom teeth out sucks

Just got my wisdom teeth out a few hours ago and I am not having fun. It is nice that Kim is taking such good care of me right now and that the pain killers keep the bad pain at bay. Well, Kim is going setup the PS2 slim in the bedroom for me, with my guidance, so I am out of here.

I recently went on a cruise trip to the Bahamas with my wife (Kim), mother (Val), and lil' sister (Alicia). Had a lot of fun but dealt with a pulled muscle in my neck the whole trip. I enjoyed the Royal Carribean ship, Soveriegn of the Seas, but man did they nickle and dime us to death. $1.99 for a bottle of water, $1.50 for a 12 oz. can of soda, and top that off with a %15 gratuity that went to
