What?
When I saw the first posing of this idiot thing,I thought I'll ignore this
"smartguy" who thinks he is the only one who knows that 127.0.0.1 is your own
gateway.If you ftp to this number it is like ftp-ing to yourself.That's the
reason he sayd you should use your own password and userid. There is no way
somebody can stel passwords with ftp,beesides if he have his own FTP site.
Did you learn to use Internet or what?

I agree to number 3 totally.I am sorry.You are right.Sorry again.
I agree to number 1 partialy:English is not my natvie tongue...
I may agree to number 2,but I think there is a concensus that the body
temperature isn't 38+.Right?
I totally disagree number 4.I am sorry that I don't know what are you talking
about(BTW,I intend to find something about it),but that fact  I am at this
university (which,BTW,is a Institute of Science,but it doesn't matter),is
not because I admire this man,or something like that.The fact that Weizmann
did something stupid,doesn't mean that FarenHEIT didn't do something MUCH more
stupid.And another thing:The institute is "dedicated" to weizmann not because
of his litlle stupid things he did(??),but because of his GREAT other things he
did.
Excuse me if I wasn't understood as I wanted to be.

This one in French : Luc nu a un cul.

But, I saw better : a palindromic (sp?) signature.  Someone named
Pierre Allard.  Reading the name upside up, you read Pierre,
and upside down, it is Allard.

This needed some stylization of letters so that
inverted p = d (easy this one)
         i = r (not so hard to figure)
	 e = a (easy)
	 r = l (some styling)
	 r = l (I am repeating)
	 e = a (see above)

FYI, Pierre and Allard are common First Name and Family Names in French.

Any palindromic signature you know (excepted Denis Sined :-)  )?

i went last year originally as a bag of jellybeans (clear plastic garbage bag,
lots of little colored ballons, but it just wasn't interesting enough 
considering the 'adult' theme of the party. so i stole a bunch of the white,
helium filled balloons that were on the ceiling, tied strings to them, and 
stapled the strings to my (all-white) outfit. i was then:

		a cloud of sperm!


was kinda hard to dance, though, the strings kept getting tangled.

What a joke! First of all, you must be a registered voter ONE MONTH BEFORE
the election in order to vote. In most states, the deadline was October 5.
Secondly, it's the County Office of Voter Registration you would go to. The
election commission is where you would go if you were running for office.
And finally, your registration site is always the county voter registration
office, although political parties may have a table set up at the grocery
store and offer to mail your registration in for you.


Don't Vote. It only encourages them!
