that's like the guys who left their bumper (with plate on it) at an ATM they tried ripping off. They tried to use their truck to pull it out of the wall or to open the door or something and ripped their bumper off. They took the fark off and left it there.

HA, i love how i am smarter than the rest of the world

I get equally aggravated with "PIN number."

Personal Identification Number number?

Sure it's anal, but still aggravating.

Damn. I came in here to rip on the redundancy of ATM machine, and several people beat me to it. :/

I'm suprised they bothered to get a search warrant. Usually, when the evidence is that clear, a warrant isn't needed. But whatever...

Having never seen it, how did you determine it's a P.O.S. movie?

It was like a cookie crumb trail. They wanted to find their way back to the bank for more money.

Would that be your Personal PIN number?

are we outsourcing the intelligent criminals?

all american criminals seem to be dumb

i've read stories about russian criminals building a nuclear sub to smuggle drugs.... a nuclear frickin' sub... that is nuclear science

oh well, i guess if the economy is good and you're smart you have a good job, if the economy is shiat you gotta make the bucks for your brain another way.

also, i guess the smart ones dont often get caught

While Barbershop wasn't Oscar-caibur, it was a fun movie in an African-American Clerks kinda way.

On another note, why do I always have to type in the dollars and cents when I get money from an ATM? They never give change.

And why do drive-up ATMs have braille on the buttons?

wayngo,

A former co-worker of mine made a point of reffering to CNEs as Certified CNEs. The C in CNE stands for Certified. We used to bust on him, even presenting staments of work to his customers with the term "Certified CNE" in the documents. Most CIOs and Dir. of IT were keen enough to pick up on it and would joke about it.

The buttons are all pressed from the same machine. It wouldn't be cost effective to press braille and then separate non-braille buttons for individual machines.

/geek, I know
 
BarkingPumpkin  
2004-02-18 11:02:30 AM  
Yes, luckyeddie, that's exactly the one. It might even be my Personal PIN Identification Number.

Especially if I were drunk.

And the decimal is so you don't go crying to the bank that you only wanted $20.00, not $200.00.

I often find myself going to the ATM machine with my MAC card, but I often forget my PIN number and have to look it up in my laptop running Windows 2000 (Which is built on NT technology).

This bothers me too...

man, man. I I feel feel so so redundant redundant for for submitting submitting this this with with the the term term "atm machine."

*sigh*

These kinds of things always bother me..but "atm machine" never occurred to me as redundant. thanks for setting me straight.

Now, I've got a lunch appointment with the FDA agency, I'll be back.

Since the comedy-value of dumb crooks is played out, I'll comment on the movie Barbershop.

I don't care for movies designed for a target audience, I feel it's demeaning to the art of cinema. Therefore I refuse to patronize stuff like 'You Got Served', 'Bring It On', 'Road Trip', etc. So I was not interested in 'Barbershop', feeling that it'd just be a farcical exploitation of "black" humor.

I watched it when it came on DVD. It was surprisingly enjoyable. One character made it so - Eddie, played by "Cedric the Entertainer". He was genuinely funny, because most of his humor didn't require slapstick black patter.

The ATM subplot was boring, added only to serve as a device in the films climax.

This one isn't as bad as those dumbasses that hooked the ATM to their truck via a steel cable or whatever it was... They hooked it up, tore it right out of a wall, and dragged it during their getaway. Concrete, meet lots of fast-moving steel... Sparks! Heat! Currency ablaze!

Strikitrich -- I just read an article a few days ago about how ETS has officially deemed SAT to no longer stand for anything... they didn't like the "aptitude" bit, so it's just "SAT" with no meaning. Thus SAT test is no longer redundant.

i only watch indy music from bands you never heard of, watch small art-house style movies, never drive a car (i use public transportation or ride a bike), and i dont work for a big corporation...plus i hate the "establishment".
however i watched Babershop.. i found it hilarious with a side of seriousness i wasnt expecting. very entertaining movie. and thats what movies are for afterall.

i hate that i live in such a closed minded way that i actually think i'm "open" because i dont enjoy what 99% of the world does.
i realized long ago that even an opinion can become fact if the numbers of majority opinions totally swallows the miniscule minority. i realize now that even though 1,000 of my "indy thinking" internet coffee shop (not starbucks because im told they are evil), self-congratulating friends didnt like barbershop.. that they might be wrong because 5 million people liked it.
i realize that "being different to be different" is best summed up in these words "you are unique, just like everyone else".

ps, my favorite indy music is small and unheard of, because they suck. i have come to terms with that.

-where the hell did that come from?

Heh. I've started checking out S.A.'s "Your Favorite Band Sucks" for bands I'd like, since they seem to hate every band I like.

I guess that's why they make chocolate and vanilla. Strawberry sucks and anyone who doesn't agree sucks.
