The Monster’s Darkside. . .

Filed under: Random Stuff — Tags: — admin @ 8:34 pm

So, I signed up last month at Monster.com with a resume hoping to get a job offer. Bad news is that the only thing I have gotten is a mass of spams and scams.

They state that they saw your resume and would like you to apply for a position within their company. That is where they get you because as soon as you hit the submit button on the sign-up page your email inbox will get slammed with every type of spam e-mail every made available on the internet.

If that happens you should just open a new email account because you will not be able to ever clean it out.

I just can’t see how and why Monster would want these people using their site. This just takes time from people looking for jobs and opens up people to be taking advantage of because they expect Monster to help them not paint a target on their back.

Before you say that it might not be coming because of the resume on Monster, let me just say that I only get these email in the E-mail account I used with Monster.

I have decided to make a list of the “Scam” companies and update it when I get new ones.

Some Possible “Scam” Companies:

If anyone knows of others or can prove that anyone listed is wrong, leave a comment or email me.

Joost Beta Review . . .

Filed under: Random Stuff — Tags: — admin @ 11:03 am

Joostâ„¢

I received a Joost Beta invite today and I must say I don’t see what the hype is about. It is very nice looking with channels that are sadly for the most part empty of content and what content is available is lacking. I know this is a Beta and they have a deal with Viacom in the works, but if they can’t build more interesting and useful content Joost will become a novelty and tossed away without a chance to hit the mainstream

Avril Lavigne Is The New Britney Spears. . .

Filed under: Random Stuff — Tags: — admin @ 8:00 am

I can only think of three reason for this song.

  1. Britney / Avril Body Swap - Seeing that she would never be able to make a comeback, Britney Spears uses Voodoo to swap Bodies with Avril and writes this song. While Avril is trapped in Britney’s Body causing her to become confused and crazy.
  2. Head Injury - While singing in the shower she hits her head and the injury causes her to want to be the next pop princess.
  3. Clone - The real Avril was tired of the spotlight and created a clone. During the creation of the clone, a packet of sugar was spilled into the test tube causing the clone to be overly sweet.

If Operating Systems Ran The Airlines. . .

UNIX Airways

Everyone brings one piece of the plane along when they come to the airport. They all go out on the runway and put the plane together piece by piece, arguing non-stop about what kind of plane they are supposed to be building.

Air DOS

Everybody pushes the airplane until it glides, then they jump on and let the plane coast until it hits the ground again. Then they push again, jump on again, and so on…

Mac Airlines

All the stewards, captains, baggage handlers, and ticket agents look and act exactly the same. Every time you ask questions about details, you are gently but firmly told that you don’t need to know, don’t want to know, and everything will be done for you without your ever having to know, so just shut up.

Windows Air

The terminal is pretty and colourful, with friendly stewards, easy baggage check and boarding, and a smooth take-off. After about 10 minutes in the air, the plane explodes with no warning whatsoever.

Windows NT Air

Just like Windows Air, but costs more, uses much bigger planes, and takes out all the other aircraft within a 40-mile radius when it explodes.

Windows XP Air

You turn up at the airport,which is under contract to only allow XP Air planes. All the aircraft are identical, brightly coloured and three times as big as they need to be. The signs are huge and all point the same way. Whichever way you go, someone pops up dressed in a cloak and pointed hat insisting you follow him. Your luggage and clothes are taken off you and replaced with an XP Air suit and suitcase identical to everyone around you as this is included in the exorbitant ticket cost. The aircraft will not take off until you have signed a contract. The inflight entertainment promised turns out to be the same Mickey Mouse cartoon repeated over and over again. You have to phone your travel agent before you can have a meal or drink. You are searched regularly throughout the flight. If you go to the toilet twice or more you get charged for a new ticket. No matter what destination you booked you will always end up crash landing at Whistler in Canada.

Linux Air

Disgruntled employees of all the other OS airlines decide to start their own airline. They build the planes, ticket counters, and pave the runways themselves. They charge a small fee to cover the cost of printing the ticket, but you can also download and print the ticket yourself.

When you board the plane, you are given a seat, four bolts, a wrench and a copy of the seat-HOWTO.html. Once settled, the fully adjustable seat is very comfortable, the plane leaves and arrives on time without a single problem, the in-flight meal is wonderful. You try to tell customers of the other airlines about the great trip, but all they can say is, “You had to do what with the seat?”

(Wonder, how Vista would run a Airline?)
