Get Rid Of All That Junk (Snail) Mail

Posted 2137 days ago

Ever get fed up with the amount of junk mail that you are receiving? I was. At one point I was receiving at least 2 letter a week from Chase Visa requesting that I sign up for their credit card. What I don’t understand is why, after hundreds of pieces of mail soliciting my business, Chase thought that I would eventually succomb to their mail barrage and apply for their card.

I did a bit of research a year or two ago and found the DMA. They have 3 different options for removing your name and address from mass marketing mailing lists. Of course, the easiest way, electronically removing yourself over the internet, costs $5. I think that I was so fed up with all the junk I was receiving, that I forked out the fiver and hoped for the best.

So, does removing yourself work? I am happy to report that it does. I have not received any junk mailings from Chase or any other credit card company since around the time I put my address on the mailing list. So, if you are fed up with the junk, consider doing something about it.

I am still alive!

I’ve gone throught another one of those dry spells where I am not inspired to write anything. I think that it may have been stress related to two big tasks that I needed to complete this month. One was to purchase my car, as my lease was going to end in a month or so. The other was finding a roof to go over my head come Aug 1. Between yesterday and today, I think that I knocked out both of thos tasks. I was approved for a loan which will mean that my Jetta will finally be MINE, and I found a new apartment, almost exactly 2 miles north from my corrent apartment. Now I think that I can kind of relax….. Ok, done. Now I have to start packing and try to get a U-Haul type vehical rented for the end of the month.

On an equally happy note, check out Kawaii Not, a amusingly simple comic strip which boasts “…if you are looking for plot, you have come to the wrong place”.

Some more time wasting games

Eyezmaze has a bunch of fun little flash games which I have found pretty addicting. I have tried to beat Grow v.2, with no succes. In Grow, you must place objects down on the ground in the precice order so as they “grow”, they do not smash each other before they are fully grown.

I dont know why, but I find myself adding the postfix -ified to words tonight…

Whew! I am glad that that final one was low. That was a lot of Option button pushing.

Do People Really Think Like This ?!?

Some nice lady with a very political blog writes that Linux is a threat to America. Read It! Believe It!

There are countless pricesless quotes there. Here is a sample of a few:

Imagine if the State of the Union address were hacked because the TV station decided to save money by using Linux? Imagine if a stealth-bomber crashed because it’s software was written by anonymous Chinese or European hackers.

WTF??? Windows is far more vulnerable then ANYTHING else out there.

Osama uses Linux because he knows designed to counterfit DVDs, curcumventing the Digital Millenium Copyright Act, and defraud companies like Disney.

Wha, wha, wha??? Why would Osama care that he can watch DVD’s without having to purchase software to do so? I am sure that this is the the top priority in his mind.

If you see a company using Linux, it may be that they have not paid for this software. Report them to the Business Software Alliance who have the legal authority to inspect any company’s computers for illegal programs like Linux.

How, just how, is Linux an Illegal piece of software? What laws is it breaking? The laws of Corporatism? And of course they haven’t paid for it, it is FREE!

The name alone (LINUX) sounds kind of queer to me!

You will also note that Mitnick, being a real hacker, never worked to improve such anti american system as Linux

I am using real AMERICAN software only. Everything else is for the Godless.
You need to turn to God and face the real you. You might be shocked.

Regardless of what Google may think of Linux; it is still the choice of terrorists, paedophiles and democrats. I think we can judge this product by the company it keeps.

Ok, Ok. Too many good quotes here. I really can’t stop laughing.
