Acrobatic Thieves Rob Best Buy Triggering No Alarms
Last Updated on Friday, 5 March 2010 12:41 Written by DarkKnightH20 Friday, 5 March 2010 12:41
A group or thieves robbed a Best Buy store in South Brunswick, New Jersey. These thieves were skilled, however, and never even touched the floor. Had they done so, an alarm would have gone off. Instead, they cut a hole in the roof at a spot where the cameras had no view because of advertisement banners. They stole $26,000 worth of Apple laptop computers and make their getaway down a 3-inch gas pipe connected to the building. It was the work of a professional crew. I’m not trying to say stealing is cool (it’s not!)…but that was pretty “badass” if I do say so myself!

Want to Ensure Your Luggage Isn’t Lost?
Last Updated on Friday, 26 February 2010 04:46 Written by servbot_kill Friday, 26 February 2010 01:40
An amusing little article picked up from Lifehacker today: Want to keep your luggage from getting lost? Pack some heat, mothafucka.
From the article:
Most of the time, travelers are on the short-end of TSA regulations. In this instance, however, you can use travel rules to your advantage. If you’re traveling with equipment you would prefer locked up and watched more closely than your run of the mill luggage, you can pack a firearm with the equipment or luggage. Whether or not you own an actual firearm isn’t important—the TSA considers a starter pistol a firearm, and it must be checked in and secured properly.
Exploiting the Second Amendment and TSA regulations for profit, gain and minor lulz.

ATTN: Ad Hack for AOL, AIM, & MSN users
Last Updated on Saturday, 20 February 2010 02:56 Written by Enki Saturday, 20 February 2010 01:46
For those who use it, have you guys ever noticed the stuff that gets installed along with AOL Instant Messenger? I mean the things like weatherbug, and wildtangent games? or just annoying blinking ads that pop up and play sounds when you wheel over them or opens your browser that was closed with 10 million tabs you had open because you accidently clicked on one?
What is this sh*t?
Well, no worries, because some generous programmer(s) got tired of them too, and made a handy little program others need to just double click to get rid of the extra luggage.
