Today on Spam-a-lot, something local

, , , ...

From: Prince Chris Moyo (Jnr).

Johannesburg- South Africa.

Phone: (deleted).



Dear Sir/Madam,



REF: URGENT REQUEST



With due respect, trust and humility, I write this letter to you seeking your help and assistance. Though it is difficult since we have not met before, I got your good contact from the network online while browsing through website of business opportunities in your country. I believe that you are capable and reliable in handling this urgent international transaction of this sort.



My name is Prince Chris Moyo (Jnr) the elder son of Prince Solomon Moyo, of the republic of Zimbabwe. During the current war against the farmers in Zimbabwe, supported by President, Robert Mugabe in his effort to expel the white farmers of the country. He has ordered the white farmers to give their farms to his members of the party and his followers.



My father was one of the most successful farmers in our country, and had been the Minister of Finance in Robert Mugabe's administration, but he did not like the idea of dispossessing the white farmers of their land. For this, his farm was invaded and was burned by the supporters of the government. In the course of the assault, my father was killed, and the invaders made away with many articles of the farm of my father. Our family house was totally destroyed.



Before the death of my father, he called me to the attention of the sum of US$18.2 Million United States Dollars, which he had deposited with a Security Company here in South Africa, during his tenure as minister of finance. I decided to get in touch with your company, so that you will help me in the transfer of this money from South Africa. This has become necessary after I have been denied any right to own Bank account or any other form of financial transaction here, for I am a political asylum seeker here in South Africa .



We (my sister and I) proposed that you should receive 20% of the entire amount for your help in the transfer of the fund, then 75% of this money shall go to us (my sister and I), 5% remaining will be used to cover any cost or expenses incurred by the both parties in the process of this transaction.



Would you immediately confirm your interest in this transaction through my private email: (email address deleted ) then I will give you more details as to how we shall conclude this transaction.



Incase you may have no interest in this transaction; I kindly request your utmost confidentiality and secrecy in this matter for security reasons.

PLEASE READ ABOUT THE PROBLEMS IN ZIMBABWE FROM THE LINKS BELOW.

(list of various news items from BBC website)

Thank you for your expected co-operation and God bless.



Thank you for your co-operation.



Best regards,



Prince Chris Moyo (Jnr).


:rolleyes:.
I wonder if the South African Police Services would be interested in this one? :whistle:.

"It doesn't work on Linux!!!"

, , , ...

By now, most of my friends here know that I've bought myself a little Acer Aspire One netbook. Even Acer will tell you that these netbooks are no good 'Cos they don't have Mickey$oft Windo$e on. :rolleyes:.
Of course, What Acer won't tell you is that the Linux version they installed on them is a heavily stripped down Fedora8 derivative.
If you know nothing about Linux, then let me explain, The Redhat/Fedora project is currently on Fedora 11 and getting ready to release Fedora 12. Now if I took, for example, the design of the original VW Beetle, and built a 'new' version with a one speed gearbox, no passenger seats and only one door on the driver's side, would it be fair to compare that to a Toyota Camry?

Anyway, After an initial bad start, I switched to Ubuntu Netbook Remix. I've since bought flash drives, a DVD writer, and today, I bought myself a Toshiba "STOREart" 3.5" USB hard drive. I wanted a 1.8" drive, but I couldn't find any. And I couldn't find a 2.5" SSD drive.

Now this drive, like so many of the things I've bought, comes w2ith some unneeded software. So it says on the box that it needs either Windo$e Vista or Xp to work! :rolleys:. My DVD writer says the same thing, as do some of my flash drives etc. :irked:.

Just to be on the safe side, I decided to check up on the best way to format it first. And I came across the following thread:
http://superuser.com/questions/47257/formatting-1tb-external-drive-mac-pc

and I found this important bit of info that has eluded me till now! p:

+1 about sizes. FAT32 is limited to 2TB volume size, and 4GB file size. – Steve Folly Sep 26 at 16:13


Now I know why I couldn't get dd to work properly when I was trying to create an image of an 8GiB drive! Homer: Doh!.

Anyway, let's talk about the chats I had with all the frindly 'Salesmen' I met today! One ID10T said quite bluntly that the reason Ubuntu doesn't get virus's is because it has /quote/"... nothing in it so there's nothing for a virus to attach itself to..."/unquote/

He then complained about the lack of "drivers" for Linux. In his "knowledgable" pontifications he mentioned Ubuntu by name repeatedly. I don't think he is even aware that Ubuntu is only one of about fifty+ distro's of Linux out there! :lol:.
Now I was once told to never argue with an idiot because people might not be able to tell which one is the idiot! :whistle:.
But I was very tempted to ask him why EVERY piece of usb equipment I've bought comes with it's own sets of drivers! (yes, that's a plural) For Vista and XP and OSX but never for Linux. (to be fair, Not every Item includes OSX drivers!) One item even had drivers for 2000!

Yet, despite the total lack of drivers being supplied for Linux, even though there is "nothing in Linux", All this equipment works flawlessly under Linux!!! :yikes::eyes:.

So it appears that Linus Torvald must be God then!!! :whistle:.
Because, let's revue, He took nothing, from it he gave us nothing that has nothing in it! He gave it to us for nothing and yet it works with everything!

Compare that with certain others who took something, that they didn't own, sold it to IBM, for a hefty fee, took it back from them again, resold it to 'us', for a hefty fee, it's got everything in it, yet it works with nothing unless you add even more to it, and next year you'll have to throw it away and buy the new 'improved' version, for a hefty fee, that still won't work with anything. Then you'll have to buy more things to get your old things to work withy it again anyway, even though it's got everything!!! awww.

So, it doesn't work with Linux, but Linux works with it all!!! :yes:.

Chemicals?!

, , , ...

.
Strange, the Tramadol I get comes in green capsules! :left:.
now exactly how do they plan on shipping controlled substances across borders anyway? :confused:.
And these would all be scheduled medicines! :insane:. ( Tramadol is schedule 5 in South Africa!) (( The same as schedule 1 in the USA)).
So, either this is fake, or it's illegal, either way you'd have to be a bloody moron to attempt to buy from them! :insane:.
Isn't smuggling drugs across international borders a job for Interpol? :whistle:.

delayed reaction!

.kozo Moblin's dirty secret!

, , , ...

Being Naturally paranoid, I'm constantly checking for hidden files and directories that aren't meant to be there. So when I found a hidden directory, .kozo ,on my flashdrive I got a bit nervous! :insane:. Further inspection revealed that a directory called .koza was also present in my phone's memory card. On my phone it wasn't hidden because the S60 operating system, unlike linux, does not automatically hide filenames etc, that start with "." :left:.
So I googled, and I traced it to this review of moblin. :left:.
What scares me the most is that no mention of this secret directory is made anywhere else! This one review seems to be the only reference to this directory! :insane:.
Now this directory contains another directory called 'databases' which, in turn, contains a file with a filename that appears to be a random assortment of numbers and letters! Examining this file with a hex editor shows that it contains a directory tree of my entire system! :yikes:.
Now, these virtual file systems are used to navigate a storage device, such as a flash drive, more quickly. Hewlett Packard has a similar system in there Photosmart printers. :irked:.
But, at least, you can easily turn that off in the printer! :left:
What scares me the most, however, is that I could only find this one reference to this directory's existence! :yikes:.

Some silly bum

A magician worked on a cruise ship.
The audience was different each week so the magician did the same tricks
over and over again.
There was only one problem: The captain's parrot saw the shows each week and
began to understand how the magician did every trick.
Once he understood, he started shouting in the middle of the show, "Look, It
s not the same hat!" or, "Look, he's hiding the flowers under the table!" or
"Hey, why are all the cards the ace of spades?"
The magician was furious but couldn't do anything. It was, after all, the
Captain's' parrot.

Then one stormy night on the Pacific, the ship unfortunately sank, drowning
almost all who were on board. The magician luckily found himself on a piece
of wood floating in the middle of the sea, as fate would have it ... With
the parrot.
They stared at each other with hatred, but did not utter a word.
This went on for a day... And then 2 days . And then 3 days. Finally on the
4th day, the parrot could not hold back any longer and said...

"OK, I give up. Where's the f#ckin' ship?"



Thanks Swaer, I needed a laugh? :lol:.
