The Great Credit Card Prank

user posted image

This is hilarious.. be sure to check out the great credit card prank II linked at the end of the article!

Credit card signatures are a useless mechanism designed to make you feel safe, like airport security checks. So my question was, how crazy would I have to make my signature before someone would actually notice?

Linux Command Line Tools for CMD.EXE

For me, I find the linux command line like a second home.   When I'm on Windows, I find that I live in CMD.EXE a majority of the time --  I usually always have a command prompt open.   Aside from everything about Windows that drives me insane on a regular basis, I find the command prompt almost useless by itself, especially when compared to linux.

How often do you hop on a windows command prompt and type 'ls'  instead of 'dir'?   Somewhere along the way I started collecting small collections of Linux tools that run in the windows command prompt.     Every few months someone else asks if I can send them my archive of tools as they don't want to deal with msys or cygwin... These are from various sources over the years, including various collections of others.

The full list of programs included in the archive is here: http://www.brian-shaffer.com/dls/nixutils.txt

Download the archive here: http://www.brian-shaffer.com/dls/nixutils.zip

Just add it to your path environment variable.

Wanna Get Abducted By Aliens?

If you've always wanted to be abducted by aliens, check out the service offered by Alien Abductions Incorporated.

The fact of the matter is that most people will probably never have the opportunity to be abducted by aliens. And even those elite few who are selected for abduction receive no assurances that they will fully remember their experience--much less a guarantee that their abduction will be everything that they hoped it would be.

So why wait? Why wonder if they're ever going to come for you? Why even invest the time, trouble, and expense involved in an actual abduction when the highly trained and professional staff at Alien Abductions Incorporated can provide you with personalized, realistic memories of the alien abduction that you have been waiting for your entire life?
