Yay I made front page again. I am the most famous person I know. Unfortunately I am also the (un)lucky new owner of this POS. After spending nearly 2 hours today filling up 2 garbage bags full of trash that was left in the car by the previous owner I got some better pics of the mystery device.

Love Harris. Like LeBlanc. Don’t know/care for Rory.

it got a 2.8 million rating with a 3.1 million peak, that down by 1.6 million total rating from Evans era that cannot be sweep under the carpet it Flop in the rating again.

Wow, Tanner got bald, Adam looks like that “How YOU doin’?” guy, and Rutledge...hmmm...wearing contact lenses?

I’m glad you enjoy it. I personally don’t drink coffee (I prefer tea with a splash of vodka) but I do enjoy the odd Timbit.

I think the best part about this article was the fact that there is a Timmies that far south of Canuckistan!

BE SHAMED SIR BRAD, FOR NONE HAVE THE POSTURE NOR STATUS TO QUESTION THE STRENGTH OF THESE FINE HERO MEN, FOR THEIR EFFORTS ARE FOREVER RECORDED AND THEIR COURAGE PROVEN FOR ALL TIME TO COME.

James Bond has his Aston Martin.

I send them to an extension on my PBX that hangs up and puts them on a list. Then everytime they call back, they get put on a permanent hold with the Cisco Opus 1 tune and a “your call is important to us, please hold” message. One guy waited 2 hours before hanging up.

An epic tale almost as old as the Internet itself...

Been a long time since I got the IT phone call scam. I used to tell them that I was running an IBM AN/FSQ-7. I don’t think that’s why they stopped calling though.

Lately, I have begun answering the calls my phone flags as spam or telemarketers with “This is Special Agent [random surname].” They stop calling after that. Can’t imagine why...

I bought my grandmother a tablet a few months back. Before I would give it to her, I made her take an internet safety class for the elderly at the library. Then I taped my phone number to the back so she could call me if she thought anything was weird.

My personal favorite memory of the last type of scam you mentioned is from about 15 years ago. I was heading home from my gf’s place and stopped for gas in a shady part of town. A guy comes up to me telling me he “just needs a couple bucks to buy coolant for his overheating car.” Well, this man was in luck! My car…

Those people are definitely scammers. But if you give me your social security number, address and credit card information, I can make those scammers go away!

I get those calls all the time. “Your computer is infected with a virus.” “Your Windows product key has been rendered invalid.” “Please pay us to fix your Windows computer.” Considering we only have only Macs, yeah, scam.

Funny, I have two answers burned into my brain now....but only if they have the Apu type sound to their voice.

I work in Information Security and used to get calls like that somewhat frequently. Callers pretending to be vendors asking what type of security hardware we have and what the code level is. Usually when I tell them the halls are patrolled by laser guided dolphins and the outdoor security cameras are hidden in lawn…

You did not have nearly enough fun with that scammer. They play along for a surprisingly long time if you let them.

That's how he got away with it, but it tells us nothing about why he did it.
