    Its a girl

    Congrats. :bigsmile:
  2. Apparantly he hasn't seen any of my threads. ;)
  3. This personal bashing is unacceptable and as the newly appointed administrator, it is my duty to eliminate your trolling activities. Now where the hell are my controls ??
  4. Never, in all of my days, have I seen a site suck this badly. There isn't a single positive quality about being here. I've actually lost sleep over this shithole! Rather than run out like a little baby, I'm here to make some changes. For starters, I should be made administrator -- I can start tomorrow morning. Second, something needs to be done with the trolls around here. You let mindless degenerates like nate run around here pretending like they lend to the community, when in reality they only sicken omnipotent individuals like myself with their blatant stupidity. Contrary to what you are thinking right now (and yes, I can read your mind), this is no joke. I fully intend to destroy the vile entities in this forum by any means at my disposal... so hurry up and make me administrator! While you are at it, the passwords to the webspace and mysql databases would be helpful.
  5. DON'T LET THE MAN KEEP YOU DOWN! FIGHT THE POWER!
  6. I just got a GMail account! :-D So far, I love it.
  7. I thought it was pretty lame.
  8. * People who use "heh" in chat or on instant messengers.
  9. The internet is being overrun by old men. Don't you geriatrics need to be watching Matlock or taking your meds ?
  10. * Use of the word "wub".
  11. You just say that for attention.
  12. I recently (as in a week or two ago) acquired the new, unreleased, Bad Religion album "the empire strikes first" and I have to say that I am very impressed. It reminded me a lot of their older album "Stranger than Fiction" except with a new flavor to it. Most of the songs are pretty good, though I really like the title track. "Boot Stamping on a Human Face" as well as "All There Is" are my personal favorites. Pure gold right there. One song I didn't really like was "Beyond Electric Dreams". It just seems to drone on and on and only proves to be an extreme annoyance. All in all, I highly recommend this album to BR fans as well as anyone who has any kind of positive feelings about this genre. As I said before, it is unreleased.. however, if you are interested in giving it a test drive anyway -- pm me.
  13. I agree. I don't mind the fact that this site links to pages that require registration in order to view their content, I just skip over them completely. Hardly worth the effort of registering and logging in to view one or two articles that appeal to me occasionally.
  14. lol, he made that profile at ZP and came here to pretend like nothing happened. I don't care either, but I am also not one to act like we are good buddies or even close to acquaintances. Smear campaigns and being banned are a bit hard to forget. ;) You won't see a PEEP out of me directed at you or anything to do with you hence forth. I do this for the BK community alone. I like this site a lot.
  15. Welcome NullsRevenge! I really like the song you dedicated to me in your ZP profile. It brought tears to my eyes. :rolleyes:
  16. Hey that's a fresh coke right there! Don't go throwing that away after the procedure. I'll still drink it. :)
  17. Even though it's a one time sign up, even though it wouldn't take long, and even though the title grabbed my attention.. I can't be bothered to sign up. Why don't you be a good sport and paste it here ? *** iger Woods has his small stake. So do Shaquille O'Neal, Henry A. Kissinger and Arnold Schwarzenegger. All can be counted among that small club of people lucky enough to own a sliver of Google, one of the hottest companies in Silicon Valley and what could be the hottest deal on Wall Street this year. Michael S. Ovitz, once a top Hollywood agent, pulled strings in an effort to enter a pool that was being offered to a group of rich investors and would eventually own a small piece of Google. But that was in the late 1990's, and apparently his star was already fading. Mr. Ovitz was turned away. The question of if and when Google, the world's most popular search engine, might finally proceed with an initial offering of shares to the public has captivated Silicon Valley in recent days. That is because it nears a deadline this week to provide a financial disclosure document required under the 1934 securities law. The company has not declared its intentions, but Google is the most anticipated public offering since the dot-com bubble burst four years ago. People speculate. People dream. And if the numbers are to be believed, people will drool. The current prediction is that Google, if it decides to sell shares to investors this year, would probably end up with a market value of $20 billion to $25 billion by the end of its first day as a publicly traded company. A $25 billion market value would instantly make Google worth more than Lockheed Martin, the big military contractor; Federal Express, the package delivery service; or Nike, the sports clothing maker. As a great many people have learned the hard way in recent years, things don't always happen as the experts predict, especially when a company is involved in the high-risk realm of technology. "It's bound to happen," Andy Bechtolsheim, who was the first person outside the company to invest in Google, said of the long-awaited public offering. Mr. Bechtolsheim, a founder ofSun Microsystems, said he owns a little more than 1 percent of Google. Assuming a huge opening day, the $200,000 he invested in Google in 1998 could be worth at least $300 million. Not everyone would fare as well. Many own a small stake in Google through an investment syndicate that included lots of Internet failures, and would stand to make only a modest profit on their total investment, if anything. The list of those expected to profit handsomely if Google proceeds with an initial public offering certainly includes the usual suspects. Start with the company's two young founders, Sergey Brin and Larry Page, who started Google as graduate students at Stanford and are known affectionately as "the boys" among Silicon Valley insiders. Mr. Brin and Mr. Page, now in their early 30's, together own an estimated one-third to one half of Google, depending on which insider's number deserves credence. "In a way, it doesn't make a difference whether the boys own a third of the company or half," said a Silicon Valley venture capitalist who spoke on the condition he not be identified because Google is a secretive company. "We're all living in a Google world now. You can safely say," he said, that "both of them will be worth in the many billions." Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers and Sequoia Capital, the two venture capital firms that invested in Google in June 1999, just as Google was becoming a daily tool of the digital elite, each own 11 percent to 14 percent of the company, several Silicon Valley venture capitalists say. The list of institutions that stand to make a small fortune from Google includes two of its potential rivals, America Online, now part of Time Warner, and Yahoo. "People made fun of Yahoo for its licensing deal," said an executive at a search-related start-up company that is a partner with Yahoo and Google, who insisted on anonymity to avoid spoiling his relationships. "They helped to create a big competitor. But this deal that hurts them strategically will make the company a lot of money." Yahoo invested $10 million several years ago, when Google was the search engine powering Yahoo's operations on its Web portal. Yahoo owns a small stake, a person who has seen the terms of the deal said. Under a different deal struck in 2002, America Online has the right to buy nearly two million shares of Google for roughly $22 million, according to Time Warner. A list of the others who stand to be enriched should Google go public seems to prove that the rich get richer. It reads like a "Who's Who" of Silicon Valley insiders, including Frank P. Quattrone, the former investment banker now on trial in Manhattan on charges of obstruction of justice and witness tampering. It includes some of Silicon Valley's greatest entrepreneurial successes, including Marc Andreessen, the founder of Netscape; Pierre M. Omidyar, a founder of eBay; Shawn Fanning, the creator of Napster; and Bill Joy, the software innovator who recently left Sun Microsystems.
  18. lol @ the swapping service's name. That's copyright infingment! I'm invoking DMCA.. I will see you in court mother fuckers.
  19. I can't understand how nate grabs so much negative attention wherever he goes. He likes to provoke, that is for sure.. but that still doesn't account for the amount of hate he receives. My conclusion is that there are a lot of stupid people.
  20. HAPPY BIRTHDAY YOU FREAKIN' GREEK!!
