Nobody on the internet is anonymous, but it's not the random posters you need to worry about anyway.

It actually bothers me, the things "they" might to do Aaron to...compel him to surrender the server logs.

They can tap your phone ya goof.

Even I can see your IP and stick it in some other site and get a map to your place....

And I don't know squat.

If you have something to hide I'd guess you'd better quit spouting smoke signals.

Point of view has a lot to do with the term used.
If I have 100 rolls of toilet paper, I have a stockpile.
If my neighbor has 100 rolls of toilet paper, to me and to him, he has a stockpile.
To someone who has no toilet paper, we are both hoarding, regardless of when or how we got it.

The ant stockpiles
The grasshopper seeks out a hoard wherever it an be found.

I intend to stockpile Raid.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('madison', 'I') think of it like this:

100 years ago, having 6 months or more of food put up was COMMON SENSE.

Now, it's called "hoarding" because hardly anyone thinks beyond their next fast food meal.


For over 65 years members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have been counseled to acquire and store a year supply.

I think I should join so I be labeled religious instead of a hoarder.

I wouldn't do that. Everyone knows that and they will be the first target of starving zombies. You think starving people will let their neighbors with a year supply of food live without relieving them of the excess burdon of food??

doubt it, their houses are big red targets..

Just get what you can, as soon as you can, and don't tell anyone how much you have.
At the end of March, I made some cookie bars that needed walnuts-the bag was $3.88 (I save all my receipts). Today, I went to buy brownie mix (DH has a sweet tooth), and cost for the exact same size bag of walnuts: $5.98!
And, find out where the Mormons in your area live-you'll be able to tell the [s]zombie hordes[/s] neighbors where to go for a one year stash! :lol:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Pretorian', 'o')r one can buy a used laptop and connect to someone elses wireless network , scare some pigs shitless on internet and throw laptop to the damp. Or not?


You would have to pay cash for the laptop.

You would have to give the buyee a false name.
You would have to access in a different city.
You would have to leave your cell phone on at home and not take it with you.
You would have to have someone place a few calls using your recorded voice while you are away.

And you would have to change the license number on your car or "borrow" a car unknown by the borrowee (they are on vacation) or take a bus with cash and wear a nixon mask when you buy the ticket.

and you would have to shred the laptop and burn it so all DNA is destroyed.

It could be done. I would drive at least 1000 miles to connect though.

You would have to turn your cell phone off during the trip

(You see, when you connect at a wireless site neighbor or library they just ask the phone company computer all cell phones that were in the area at the time and they got you

and you would have to drive 1000 miles and pay cash all the way and you would have to wear a mask cause the fillup stations have cameras

and I would use someone elses car.

or take a bus

it would vbe very very difficult to get away with it.

the best way is to go to a distant city school or community college and wait for a kid to leavee his computer on and use it then, you would again have to wear a beard and glasses and a mask and wear gloves.


it would be hard.

almost impossible.

You could do it if you install remote software on a shool computer , that is possible. and call in on a phone line... nah that wont work

you could telnet to new york, and telnet then to LA and then tell net to a third city then connect but your accounts would have to be fake accounts.

I say it can't be done any more.

They caught one (leterrs-letters-letters) spy sending pics to another country he always used libraries, the account came from libraries around where he lived so they just picked up his voice signal present at those locations at that time by records (your location is recorded continuously and time stamped., ah, must be him, drove to his house and picked him up. Made headlines yuou probably read about it.

Not worth it.
Why not be just a good little boy and wait for powerdown?
Then you can do what you want and no one will be there to care.

Besides, doing illegal things is not right.

I want to then I say, No, it is not right.

But when I am distracted I have been speeding and not paying attention, so when I catch it, I slow down.

Do you know it is illegal to break the speed limit while passing a car? That was hard for me to comply to. But it taught me a lot of patience.
