If you commit crime for example breaking and entering, computer trespass, etc etc it is your fault. Getting the most out of your police. My god, you want to help the police. Not quite, the police can be a useful resource from time to time if you know the rules. Rule one, police have seized items auctions after the trial is done. So you can pickup bikes, vcrs, dvds, cars, tools, etc. etc. really cheap. Rule two, police use crime stoppers to get information to arrest people. How do you benefit, keeping your eyes and ears open for drug houses, grow operations, chop shops, and brothels. Pass the information to the crime stoppers and every time there is an arrest it could be worth $2000 dollars tax free. Still having problems helping the police. Put your self in their shoes. Their shifts are deliberately set up to isolate them from the common person with a little sleep deprivation thrown in. Add to that some of the more gruesome and negative things that they deal with on a daily basis and you have one cranky person. Just make their lives easier by helping them catch real criminals and in doing so give them a sense of self worth. Why do this? Because police would rather spend their time getting real criminals than dealing with the petty crap that people do. Also a police officer while not being able to comment on continuing investigation can give you suggestion as to what and where to look for criminal activity. Then you can see if it is true and report the criminal activity to crime stoppers if you find any and collect your $2000 dollars if it leads to an arrest. Does this mean narcing on your friends? No, if some one in your circle is committing crimes that is their choice, simply chose to not help them. However if they do something to hurt you or members of your circle then they are no longer part of the circle so I say narc away. Old Man #2 Disclaimer I do not assume responsibility for what you do.

If you commit crime for example breaking and entering, computer trespass, etc etc it is your fault. The rise of A drug dealer A long time ago in a school far away there was this scumbag named J.D.. And to supplement his allowance that his rich parents gave him. He decided to get into drug dealing. First he got to know his dealer really well and became a mule for transporting the drugs to the other students in the school. Then after a while he was introduced to his drug dealer supplier. J.D. then anonymously narcs on his dealer. His dealer gets busted, so J.D. is recruited to deal drugs in the school, not to mention $2000 dollars from crime stoppers. After a while J.D. is introduced to the cops that are paid off, growers of weed, and suppliers of heaver drugs; meth, crack, lsd. A few months later J.D.'s supplier is busted and J.D. gets another $2000 dollars from crime stoppers. To keep the operation going J.D. takes over the supplying business. This is when J.D. runs into competition with other drug dealers. So what does he do, he gives drugs free to skaters in return for telling him where the other drug dealers are. Then he buys a large supply of what ever drug his competition is selling. And waits for his competition to get their shipment in. Then J.D. anonymously narcs on them. The street values of the seized drug goes up in price and J.D. gets $2000 dollars per bust. Sorry folks this story just doesn't have a happy ending.

If you commit crime for example breaking and entering, computer trespass, etc etc it is your fault. Recon To do reconnaissance one must first get the lay of the land. One does this by reading maps of the area you are going to travel in. It does not matter if it is the city or country. A map is the best way to establish way points so you can get to know a new area. In other words its useful to know so you are not chased down a dead end. Also maps help in locating good ambush positions and good filming positions if you are trying to capture drug dealers in their dealings. Remember crime stoppers pays up to $2000 dollars for arrest and conviction of crime. just make sure you have a good camera and a good head start. The film is to be given to the police anonymousness to insure the conviction. After the establishment of way points and likely ambush sites use the map to plot a course to walk or ride around so you get to know the area. Walking the dog is a good excuse, and it gets you some exercise. After you do this a few times you will be an established individual in the neighborhood. This allows you to look for grow operations and drug houses in the neighborhood. If you do not feel comfortable doing this alone, then get a couple other members of your cell to come with you. The group should be no larger than three. Otherwise it will look like another gang in the neighborhood. Also have a cellphone just in case.

If you commit crime for example breaking and entering, computer trespass, etc etc it is your fault. Getting Food There are three ways of getting food. First is to buy it, The most expensive way is to get fast food or restaurant food. It is okay to do so once in a while to treat your self. But it should not be a regular part of your diet. Not because of health problems but rather because of economics. A big mac meal costs the same amount of money as a 8 KG or a 17.6 LB bag of rice. One such bag of rice will last from two to six months. Simply be a smart shopper. Compare prices at competing stores and get the cheapest food possible from each. However just one problem, you have to learn how to cook. For rice invest in a rice cooker. Is saves a lot on scorched pots. Just follow the directions given. To learn how to cook check with your local church or collage to see if there are any courses in cooking. The next way to get food is to grow it your self, again look to collages, church groups, and gardening clubs for help. Growing food takes some work but is easy enough to do. typical plants you want to grow are potatoes, tomatoes, carrots, radishes, squash, and lettuce. If you live in an apartment there are communal gardens usually provided by churches and soup kitchens. Also most farmers are not adversed to renting a garden plot to a city dweller. Just a lot of manual labour weeding and watering. The last way to get food is to hunt, trap, and forage for it. This is difficult if you live in the city. But could be done on vacation time. Just make sure you know what you are doing. Either go to collage to take the survivalists course. Or go with someone who has hunted and trapped before.

If you commit crime for example breaking and entering, computer trespass, etc etc it is your fault. How to increase your knowledge To survive tough times you and your group, cell, needs to have knowledge, skills, and resources to survive. How do you get knowledge and skills? Rule one. Pay attention in school. At least to the classes that are important; math, chemistry, physics, shop, home economics, computers, gym, and foreign languages. The classes that do not matter like English, history, psychology, are watered down crap courses designed to brain wash you into thinking that you are nothing more important than a factory worker. And the only form of rebellion that is acceptable is in written words or debate, and not action. They usually teach you to be sheep. Rule two. Buy used books. Go to garage sales, and used book stores. Look for old high school, university, and collage text books. And read them. Also look and get old role playing game books. Read the text books to increase your knowledge in different areas. This time you can read psychology and history books because you won't be under the influence of the brain washing teachers, learn the lessons the author portrays not the teacher. Then read the RPG books and start playing RPG games with your cell. RPG's let you try out plans and ideas in advanced to see what could happen given a situation. As well as, stimulating the mind and preparing for the unexpected. The military often play rpg games to sharpen their officers intellegence. Rule three. If you have the money take collage or university courses. Just not English or history, psychology can be taken because the teachers are more open ended than they are in high school. Also This counts as a tax writeoff. Rule four. Volunteer or do an internship at different organizations, such as habitat for humanity, soup kitchens, etc. You learn valuable skills. Rule five. Arrange trips with the cell to different areas and share costs. Travel broadens the mind, and releases stress of being in the same town day after day. Rule six. Get a computer and Internet connection. and start reading how-to and FAQ's. Old Man #6 Disclaimer I do not assume responsibility for what you do.

Short path to fitness If you want to get physically fit in a short amount of time then do two types of physical exercise. One: Weight lifting Two: Walking The key to physical fitness is progressive overloading with recuperation. Weight lifting is simple, how do you think all the dumb jocks get big. Strength is their advantage. But in order for them to do the exercises themselves the program has to be simple. If you have a spotter that can lift the weight you are lifting then use barbells, If not, use dumbbells. Start with the lowest or least amount of weight on the equipment as possible. A weight lifting bench at Wal-mart varies between $100 to $40. Wal-mart's barbell weight set of 100 lb cost between $25 to $40 dollars. And a weight belt cost between $20 to $30. Doing this is a lot cheaper than going to a gym to start out with. Just download the us army field manual on physical fitness. It takes a little digging around their web site but its there. Start their weight lifting program and stick with it for three months, you will be stronger in no time. When you can safely lift the 100 lb weight. Then its time to get a gym membership. It should take you about a six months to a year of training to get to the 100 lb mark. Walking is the simplest fat burning cardio exercise. If where you live is too dangerous to go out side then walk on the spot in your house. to make the time go by quicker play some music or watch the TV while you walk. One should aim for 20 min a day three days a week to start with and as the exercise gets easier increase the time of the walk so that it is eventually 45 to 60 minutes. Also swing your arms while you do your walking. When this becomes too easy start doing jumping jacks until you start to get exhausted, Finish the time with walking. Gradually you will get better physical cardio fitness. Old Man #7 Disclaimer I do not assume responsibility for what you do.

You know the email crap about such and such a company will pay you to send their email to your friends and then to such and such link to get the money. It is a scam to get your email for spam marketing or worse identity theft. Consider your self warned, If you are stupid enough to put your self on such a con job you deserve to be grifted. And no thats not gifted its grifted as in con job. In other words, don't send crap. Old Man #8 Disclaimer I do not assume responsibility for what you do.

What to do with old dos viruses Old dos viruses as in; Ms dos, Pc dos, Dr dos, etc. can and do serve a useful purpose. Basically viruses authors do not claim ownership of the viruses, so technically the viruses are in the public domain and can be reversed engineered. Why would you want to do this. Simple, viruses are great practice to reversed engineer so that when you have to reversed engineer a much larger more complicated program you understand the tricks to do so. Also many advanced concepts of computer programming such as encryption, self modifiable code, and undocumented features of the OS, operating system, or BIOS chip or microprocessor can be seen. Why is this important. The virus writer had to have reversed engineered the OS, BIOS, or processor in question so he can take all the blame for the information going public. Meaning you, the person who reversed engineered the virus can under law make clone's or near clone's of the OS, BIOS, or Processor using the information gathered from the reversed engineered viruses.
