Biker Dude - You have to know The Car Lounge to understand the context of the joke. Also, please see the number of Democrats who claim that the run up in oil prices is Bush's fault since the increases came during his time in office, he's a supposed "oil man", and Cheney was the CEO of Halliburton, etc... Expect to hear lots of, "Isn't it conveeeeeeenient that oil prices are coming down during the general election?".

Hell, I don't like paying $3.85 a gallon for gas.  But professionally, oil going up is great for me.  I work for a solar company.  Every time oil goes up, so does our stock.  Things look really good for us.

You might want to check who else has access to your computer, since the record shows Biker Dude smiting him this morning.

Re: Oil down below the magic $125 today. Impact?

I know a few computer geniuses...  They do stuff once in a while if need be, like extract personal info, credit card #'s, SS#'s etc.  We played a game once on a different board with a bad sale deal.  If the guy didn't make good within so many hours, we'd start publishing info live.  By the time we hit the 6th digit of his SS# with a pic of his family in the background, he got the message.

He had it coming...  Same as the dude that gay-porn spammed our UCORA site.  He worked for a major manufacturer of wireless microphone equipment that, in particular, had a huge customer base in church-related work.  When we forwarded his latest network activity directly to his directing manager, the excrement hit the rotary air-moving device.  He lost his job, we were vindicated, and that employer found the means to better police his work-related computer activity.

Any secrets in the computer world are mostly related directly to the desire of the people using those secrets to not violate their ethics standards.

In other words, don't e-piss anyone off.   You don't really know anybody, online.

Not really that big of a deal to me.  It's just the internet.  Seems to be bothering you quite a bit though.  If you would like I can look into it...

Just a big enough deal to post a denial,

...when you did?

While that doesn't bother me, there would just be the one reason it wouldn't bother you.

Laughter is a blessing, and you are now blessing us amply.

Would you like to deny it again for the general entertainment?

Sure whatever.  If it makes you happy.  If that is where you get your kicks.  Because you can tell by that post that I was so concerned!  Lol!  I think you are taking the internet way to seriously!  But whatever dude.  Specially since even PunBB doesn't say anything about being able to do what you are claiming.  But you sure do have your panties all bunched up tight between your butt cheeks over it.  I'm laughing all right, and it's how big a douche bag you are being.

They don't say you can't, but they don't say you can.  They just don't mention it. 

I really don't give a shit, but he does for whatever reason.  I rarely even think about karma, here or at IAP.  Not sure why but zuk has a hard-on for me all of a sudden.  Don't know if it's over the whole 'him and Ahk' love fest at IAP that I stayed out of, or whatever.  No matter what, I won't loose any sleep over it, it is just the internet.  But he is kind of cute with his indignation and all though.  Maybe I'll go praise him...

A normally constituted person would not make a truthful response contingent on thinking he had been observed.  Perhaps this just indicates too much time for you at IAP.

I think it is an odd thing to accuse others of taking one "too seriously". The implicit self-denigration is rarely genuine.

You often accuse people of taking a subject too seriously when your ineffective behavior is noted.  Predictably, you also fall back on characterising people as being upset merely because they engage you.

People who are not frank in small or meaningless matters, such as karma, are seldom frank in important matters.  Your confirmed lack of candor has been noted.
