Point Hacks

Ok, so not everyone is going to be able to use these, but afterward I'll point some things out.

Ok, first off...Who has noticed all these companies with reward points and discounts for having one of "their cards?" It's not even a credit card. It's just another step between you and good service. Also, with these cards, companies can track your purchases and get information about you.
Speedway - popular gas station in some places - has the speedy rewards card.
Kroger - popular grocery store in some places - has the kroger plus card.
Dick's Sporting Goods - come on, I'm not gonna spell it out for you - has the dick's score card.

What are we to make of these? Should we chok these up to being a big sham by the corporations?

I say nay. Granted, the companies are raping us slowly and the rich are only getting richer while the poor are only getting poorer. How bout you try some things out? I found out that if you use the Kroger card at Speedway, it'll work. The Speedway card works ar Kroger as well. This means, that if one card offers you crap benefits, i.e. Kroger's shitty bonuses, you can use your Speedway card instead in order to have points put toward some free or cheaper gas.

I say test some shit out. Try your whatever card at Dick's. Use your Best Buy card at Babbage's. Figure out what works where. The employees...A: don't give enough of a shit to care whether you use the right card...and B: are paid to keep you happy and if you cause enough of a scene they'll either let you do it, or call security. Big Deal....Get out there and try. Post successful results here.

Ok, a few good pages worth seeing. First off is Twango. This site lets you upload your media for free and allows others to view it. It's like a YouTube for everything. I'm a member on this site, in fact, you can listen to some music I modified and posted.
Fotki is a similar site but takes it's use into other venues as well including news quotes on the main page and allowing a further expanse of attainable knowledge.

I promised Laptop shit, so here it is. I'm not going to explain it as it is quite illegal, but because I believe it shouldn't be I'll at least put a link to it.

Thats it for now, I'm tired, and sore....been too active lately.

What we become depends on what we read after all of the professors have finished with us. The greatest university of all is a collection of books.

Back Again

Ok, I'm back again and I'm gonna try to start posting more. School's been bogging me down lately, haven't had much time to do anything except homework. I've been working on a few laptop applications that I'll be posting about in my next post. Some good stuff here and there. Maybe a tutorial on how to do something illegal, maybe even with pics.

Anyway, I hope you all are still with me.
