Yeah, WHAT IS UP WITH PEOPLE AROUND CHRISTMAS!! In the last 2 weeks I have had my car broken into, my window broken and my sterio stolen. My friend had the same thing happen in the last couple days and today...my f-n site was hacked. I don't even know what to do about it except contact my hosting company..which I did.
I have been looking forward to going home tomorrow to spend christmas with my family but now I don't know how I am going to deal with this tech crap when I am going to be traveling most of the day...
Sorry for the rant, but I had to vent to someone.

When people get stressed (which is virtually always in our f-ed up society) they for some reason think it's cool to do whatever they want in order to either accomplish a goal or just because they justify that they needed to do it. There is no accountability these days it seems...

Once you begin to recognize that everyone is a faulty screwed up mess in some situations and some moreso than others, you begin to actually like people. :)

Just like my dear departed grammy used to say, "When it rains it pours". Sometimes you just gotta say "**** it" and not let all the b.s. get ya down. :dancing:

I got an e-mail at work yesterday saying cars parked in our garage last week were broken into and Xmas presents were stolen. WTF is the matter with people?

Not all people suck, just thieving ones.

Not to sidebar a good rant, but please allow me a counterpoint. Here are a few of the nice things people have done for me and my immediate family over the last few weeks(our 6 mo. old is quite sick).

*A neighbor we don't even know gave a beautiful, handmade wooden playhouse to our 2 1/2 year old so she'd have somewhere besides her room to play and call her own
*Members of our church have organized delivery of cooked meals to our home while my wife is away at the hospital(my culinary skills are not yet widely recognized)
*Other members of our church have donated gift cards for the purchase of our baby's special(and very expensive) formula
*My wife's friends have dropped everything and come at a moment's notice to watch our older daughter at all hours of the day and night so that I can go to the hospital, too
*Other friends have helped out with extra baby clothes and learning toys for our daughters
*Our church up and paid a very expensive medical bill our insurance wouldn't cover
*Neighbors we barely know have offered to help out whenever and however needed just because they've heard of our daughter's troubles and want to help

I won't even talk about all the kind, selfless things our respective families have done for us at great personal inconvenience. Certainly there are lots of a-holes out there, and with everyone milling about on the roads and in the malls, you're bound to run into them...stealing your property...stealing you parking space...driving like lunatics...cutting in line...pushing and shoving w/o so much as an "excuse me" or "I apologize". I urge you to look a little more closely, as there is a lot of good going on around you that may otherwise go unnoticed in the bustle of the season.

That being said, I hope that either the thief who stole your stuff shocks the living sheet out of himself when trying to install it or is busted by the man trying to trade them for a rock downtown. :D

That's cool to hear LL. I hope all goes better very soon. I have to say that my 2 instances with humanity are the Secret Santa deal, where people went above and beyond for people they had never seen, and a waiter we had Saturday. We went to one place and sat for 10 minutes to not be acknowledged. I got up, went to the hostess and informed her why we were leaving. Turns out, we went to another place and received the best service we have ever had. Kid was a student at Baylor, from Dallas, giving him 2 strikes to start with, and he was awesome. If I were a wealthy person he would have had a huge tip.

If y'all must hate someone, I heartily recommend this worthless piece of excrement-

:mad: Pregnant-Slay Probe Followed Cyber Trail
By MATT SEDENSKY :mad:

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - In the end, it wasn't a fingerprint or a blood spatter that led authorities to the woman suspected of strangling a mother-to-be and cutting the baby from her womb.

It was an 11-digit computer code.

Police zeroed in on Lisa Montgomery in the most 21st century of ways, by trolling computer records, examining online message boards and - most important - tracing an IP address, 65.150.168.223, to a computer at her Melvern, Kan., home.

``That in and of itself led us to the home,'' Jeff Lanza, an FBI spokesman here said of the IP, or Internet protocol, address, the unique number given to every Internet-connected computer.

Investigators say that just before the slaying, Montgomery had corresponded over the Internet with the victim, Bobbie Jo Stinnett, about buying a dog from Stinnett. The same technology that makes instantaneous communication possible enabled authorities to crack the case in a matter of hours and rescue the premature baby.

Montgomery, 36, made a first appearance Monday before a packed courtroom in Kansas City, Kan., where her attorney refused to waive her right to preliminary and identity hearings. Both hearings have been scheduled for Thursday morning.

Montgomery is charged with kidnapping resulting in death. Her attorney, Charles Dedmon, would not comment after the hearing.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Terra Morehead also declined to comment, but authorities have said Montgomery confessed to the crime. The 4-day-old girl left a hospital in Topeka, Kan., Monday with her father and another family member.

``When we received her, she was in pretty good shape,'' said hospital spokeswoman Carol Wheeler. ``She is just a beautiful, beautiful baby girl.''

The suspect's husband, Kevin Montgomery, told reporters outside the courthouse he knew nothing about his wife's alleged actions. He has not been charged with any wrongdoing.

``My family has suffered a tragedy, but I am not the only family,'' he said. ``This has to be as hard or harder on them as it is on me. I sure hope they get as much support from their church and community as I have because we are all going to need it.''

Within hours of Stinnett's killing Thursday at her Skidmore, Mo., home, investigators realized the potential information her computer could hold in finding her killer.

Stinnett, 23, raised rat terrier dogs at home and had been expecting a potential customer the afternoon she was killed. In fact, she had to get off the phone with her mother because the customer was at the door, according to investigators.

When Stinnett's body was discovered, detectives collected not just physical evidence; they also took her computer.

Besides trying to find the killer, investigators were racing against time to find the baby, who was one month premature when she was cut from her mother's belly and, it was feared, may have suffered oxygen loss or other trauma when her mother was strangled.

At the lab, clues seemed to pour out of the computer within minutes - who Stinnett had been e-mailing, what sites she had been visiting. Important tips from the public came in, too. Among them: a North Carolina dog breeder pointed to communications on a rat terrier message board.

``My adrenaline just started rushing,'' said the breeder, Dyanne Siktar. ``I knew they could track the IP.''

It turned out that at 4:22 p.m. on Wednesday, the day before Stinnett's slaying, someone identifying herself as Darlene Fischer posted a message to the victim on a rat terrier message board. ``Please get in touch with me soon as we are considering the purchase of one of your puppies,'' it said.

About an hour later, Stinnett communicated with Fischer for about 20 minutes, investigators said. Then, at 7:44 p.m., Stinnett posted a message to Fischer: ``I've e-mailed you with the directions so we can meet. I do so hope that the e-mail reaches you. Great chatting with you on messenger. And do look forward to chatting with you tomorrow a.m.''

Investigators traced Fischer's IP address back to a dial-up connection from Montgomery's home in Melvern, about 120 miles southwest of Skidmore. On Friday, less than 24 hours after the slaying, investigators found the baby at the home and arrested Montgomery.

As for how the killer knew Stinnett was about to become a mother, Stinnett had a Web site about her dogs that investigators said may have included a picture of Stinnett pregnant. The FBI would not comment on whether the pair had ever met before last week, or how the killer knew Stinnett was still pregnant.

Experts say IP addresses are not foolproof; they can be made up, like nearly anything else in the Internet age. But they often are part of a package of evidence that can lead to a conviction.

``Quite often, in the past, detectives would walk past the computers at the crime scene and look at the hairs and fibers and fingerprints,'' said FBI agent Tom Maiorana, director of the bureau's Regional Computer Forensic Laboratory here. ``Now we're seizing the computers and finding out a tremendous amount of information about the lives of the people involved.''

Why should this disturb you? How is it any different than locating you by phone number? Or license plate?

Are you under some kind of bizarre delusion that the internet is really "anonymous"?

Thismorning some assbandit passed me going at least 100mph t(i was doing about 65 in a 50) to only cut in front of me and exit a few hundred yards down the road (my same exit). Glad he made it through the yellow light. He was gonna get the stink eye something fierce.

I still cant believe that horrible story. Kidnapping is one thing, but to commit such a crazy crime like that? She deserves the worst, but she will probably just become another # in the prison system, and a burden on the taxpayers. Maybe she can will released from jail when a dope smoker gets busted for growing......

You aren't kidding. We had a fatal this morning on the highway that closed it, so the surface streets were a clusterf*#%. Some biotch in a Passat passes me in a *30mph* zone doing about 60...... I wanted to throw a potato masher through her side window. :mumble:

AMEN, Sister!

I think you just notice it MORE during the holidays cuz of holiday stress and more idiots are out and about...why, just Sunday on my umpteenth visit to the f'n mall (a place I usually love) I had to honk at lazy mother f'ers in the parking garage to move their fat asses twice in less than 60 seconds...it's like if you just go to the TOP of the parking garage...or take that open spot 6 spaces down from the car that is pulling out of the space here that you are waiting for and holding up the goddamned nation while doing so...you'll get into the mall sooner to aimlessly wander about and annoy the hell out of me in there...I swear this one f'er was waiting for this spot...cars are lined up forever...and she could take an open spot literally 5 spaces down...but god forbid she have to waddle her fat ass an additional 20 steps...so instead she just waits for someone to try and maneuver their car out of a tight spot...f'ers! F'ERS! I'm PISSED off now from just THINKING about that...
