Indian "Windows licencing" scammers caught on camera - Off-topic

Those rogue Indian scammers called me today, trying to get my "CLSID" and my phone number, in a poor attempt to try to socially engineer me to cut a hole through my Windows security so they could - for whatever reasons - access my PC. I am no mug, thankfully - I politely and calmly asked the caller to hold a second, and I started recording it all on my Moto G... so here is the whole call... ha ha ha... :

So worth watching. XD

I forgive them, they're living in a relatively poor country and trying to make a living isn't easy, especially when wages are low, and all you want to do is make a better life. I am not saying that scamming people is morally acceptable; it is NOT, it is a wrong thing to do, but I don't hold onto anger and I forgive him... and besides, he got NOWHERE

They called me twice last june. The second time I recognized the number and picked up with "You have reached the Interpol Cybercrime division, Please be advised that this call will be traced. How may we assist you?" I was halfway through the word 'Cyber' when they hung up with a lot of panicked yelling in the background. Haven't called me back since. :laugh:

Being bored I decided to check out what was happening on today's date 4 years ago and I found the above.
This can't be mere co-incidence surely, so the question is.. does anything actually happen on September 8th, or is this the most boring day of the year?
Please write your answers on a postcard and send them to anybody but me.

Well being bored, for me, is better than siting myself from 8.15 to 15.00 at school and learning some stuff which I wouldnt need in my whole life !!!
like what the hell is past continuos or present continous (learning english in Latvia)!!! I can speak in english and write in it but now I even need to know some stuff which I dont need!!!
And Mr. Channon hits 3500 with that last one...
MODS!!! Edit this thread!!! That last post should have been placed under the jokes thread.
And I just hit 350...yep....I look at all the 349 other useless posts I have placed and came to one conclusion...all but 1 of them was useless.
I wonder when, oh when, I will ever reach the Mt. Olympus of Mr. Channon...I am, but a foot stool.

			
				
For me, there are five days boring in a week. I'm only alive on weekend and holiday. When can I retire?? Every day is boring!

Look at the first tip on HTC's Tips and Tricks section for the Kaiser:
http://www.htc.com/us/FAQ_Detail.aspx?p_id=67&act=tt
So that's why I can never get the keyboard to come out, I was trying to slide it counterclockwise to the right. LOL j/k
The first tip should be:
To: Use your phone
Do: Press the power button
ha..ha..ha..ha

Prince Declares The Internet Dead.

Prince, never a model of rational thought and probably richer than God anyway, totally declared the Internet “dead” in an interview published by a British newspaper on Monday. Like, "MTV" dead.

The singer I said......What I mean,does he at the end said if it meant something else than prince? What inspire to do that specific sign ? I'm just curious about that
My believe is that the above symbol is completely ramdom, and designed in such a way (see the contradiction?) that would make us, so many years after, be here spending our precious time and brain cells talking about it and him... wich makes his prophecy on net's death a good thing!
The Internet retaliates by declaring Prince dead.
There you go. Suck on that, the artist formerly known as the artist formerly known as prince.

IIRC he was in a contract dispute with SONY, and changed his name to be a HUGE pain in their ass. All his contracts needed to have his legal name on them.
For a while he had "slave" written on his face at public appearances. Finally he got out of his contract with SONY, and changed his name back.

When writing a post use these things called "Capital Letters"!
They make sentences much easier to read and you much more like by me!

JimJam, i understand your frustration. I always try to include punctuation and capital letters in my writing. But unfortunately, some people seem to take the royal piss and decide to write something so only they can read it.
This thread has made me think more about my writing and take into consideration your point.
Thanks for making the world a better place!

Capitals don't bother me, but when I read 'an windows mobile' or 'a android' it bugs the hell out of me.

You technically don't need that extra comma It all depends on how you are saying the sentence, when I use commas I usually use them as a pausing tool (I do the same thing with smileys; but I use them as periods haha) So you didn't fix it, more so, you made it how you believed it was being pronounced. BAM! IN YOUR FACE!

attention, love and loyalty
Probably first of all,
being a fair and equal person,
seriously, cannot stand on girls that are selfish or mean...
Then comes the rest, such as a lovely face or decent boobs
I wished if my girlfriend could be a person that embraces equality, but seems like she isn't.
She would choose her favorite thing, instead of me. Let's say she loves her job but it is as risky as James Bond, but I don't allow her to do it, she would probably say 'let's break up cuz you don't let me do it'. Well the reality is a more selfish one, but meh.
Embracing equality is a must I think.
