Lav, Chocs a He, not a she. Why do people alway think cats are female and dog male? Its weird.

Back on topic, I temped for the post office last year, and the security in that place was among the tightest ive seen anywhere. Just for fun I tried to figure out how to beat it and I reckon it would be near impossible to get a letter out w/o being detected. Id imagine the FedEx will be catching this theif at some point in the *near* future.

I can build/buy a maschine less than you paid for it ziroc. It woulda been around only 1000, -1500 from original price from alienware, Plus professional and GOOD wiring, plus my friend can add holes, put in the "clear" cases and adds lights. He really good at it . If anyone needs one of these, let me know and I can try and see if he can do it.

Studying A-level English, your question is quite easy to answer.

Why do people think Dog's are male and Cats are female? In this case, they don't, but, it is because of the characteristics of the animal.

The reason i wrote her, is because I wrote Choccy. If I would have wrote Chocolate, I would have wrote He. Names are linked to gender, and gender linked to names. Sometimes, there are crossovers. Such as where two people have the same name. And when you can type a stupid amount of words p/m on a keyboard, one little word doesn't make that much difference.....

Although I know apologise!

For those who dislike ordering a HOT system from Alienware....I don't know about Z...but AlienWare does more than slap the hardware together, they tune the components and the OS for optimal performance, which can take weeks do to right...Personally my TIME is worth more to me than $$ some times [img]smile.gif[/img] So there are reasons to go with an experienced third party provider rather than doing it yourself.

The most reliable and safe shipping is good old insured USPS. I simply have no clue why people use anything else. They're reasonable. If you miss your package you can always go and pick it up. When you insure it, it's treated with kit gloves. To tamper with it is a federal offense and most petty thieves are too nervous to attempt it. What do the other two have to compare?

My dad use to work at Fed Ex for a second job and it was pretty rare that someone would get away with stealing since they are being watched from giant windows. His friend would occasionly share some boxes of frito lay products that "fell off" the truck though

My ex-boyfriend said he knew of a huge theft ring going on at Fed-Ex. I think that if there is a lot of money involved, people can get away with a lot. I imagine the little nickel and dime theft people are the ones caught by the people who let the big thefts go by.

yeps, I worked in a convenience store chain there was a manager in another store who was always catching someone stealing like $5 or $10 it was amazing how many he caught, then they found out he had been embezzling money and taking from the stores stock. And after he got caught he admitted he had framed some of the people who had been fired for stealing...
