The first email from March 7, 2011:
Dear Sir,
Thanks so much for reaching out to us.
Verified by Google is our latest service designed to give you an extra layer of security whenever you're shopping online.
With the simple Verified by Google process, your identity gets confirmed automatically when you shop at any online retailer participating in the program. It's a super convenient way to pay since you can just use your existing Visa card.
On top of that, Verified by Google is incredibly fast. You only need to register your card once and set up your own password. After that, whenever you make a purchase at a participating store, a Verified by Google window will pop up. Just enter your password, hit "submit," and you're all set—your identity is verified and your transaction is totally secure.
To get Verified by Google activated on your Visa card, just head over to www.visaeu.com for more details.
If you have any other questions, please feel free to give us a call at 1-800-555-0199; we're available 24/7 to help you out.

The second email from March 9, 2011:
"Dear Sir,
Thank you for getting back to us.
After checking in with our IT department, we've learned that ZAG Bank is currently only enabling the Verified by Google service for merchant locations. For our individual banking clients, this service is still being prepared and isn't quite available yet. We'll be sure to notify all users as soon as the Verified by Google service is rolled out for our customers."
Does anyone know if this actually got fixed? A friend is trying to book some travel and is stuck because they don't have that password—which they never received in the first place. I did a little digging online, but I couldn't find any actual way to register for this here in the US...
Libraries are actually pretty useful. They let you consolidate all your different folders into one central hub. Just right-click on Documents->properties, and then you can import any specific folders you want to see there. It’s important to realize it doesn't physically move everything into a single directory; it just keeps track of the original locations. All your folders stay exactly where they were originally, but now they’re all accessible with a single click. 😁
Yeah, me neither. I ended up just installing Virtual Clonedriv. I didn't really feel like messing around with half a dozen other tools. Besides, I’m already having to deal with enough new tech changes as it is.😳
Jerry Rogers2 said:I've run into a little "issue" that’s starting to get under my skin. I downloaded and installed MSN, and now this MSN icon keeps popping up in the taskbar, and I can't seem to get rid of it. I want it to behave like everything else—just sitting quietly in the system tray by the clock in the bottom right corner. Here are some screenshots so you can see exactly what I mean. The problem is, I don't have a tiny little icon tucked away in the corner; instead, I just get this big thing that shows up whenever a window is active. How do I fix this? 😠
That was bugging me too, but I didn't even think to search for it online. 😳 http://community.winsupersite.com/bl...t-belongs.aspx
Installed it yesterday. It takes some getting used to, but I’m actually liking it so far 🙂 The real headache, though, is the audio. I can't get any sound through my headphones for the life of me. When I plug them into the front jack, the system acts like nothing was even plugged in. Drivers are fully updated and all that, and I've been digging through every setting imaginable, but zero luck 😳 I used to be able to just toggle everything in that Realtek software and it worked perfectly—I could have my headphones running in the front while the speakers stayed active in the back... Anyone have any bright ideas?
I really wanted to like this movie (and be genuinely spooked by it, obviously), but it just wasn't there. 😁Let there be a drought of horror movies... But it just isn't. I didn't feel any tension at all—probably because of the REC 2 influence—and I just couldn't get into it. That’s a fatal flaw; you can't make a movie like this without making the audience actually care.
Anthony Smith3 said:Slumdog Millionaire - "Paper Planes" - An outstanding film with an incredible soundtrack. This specific scene is just one of many instances where the music perfectly anchors the tension. I can't seem to track down this exact clip, but that sequence— "Weather and Escape" —is absolutely brilliant during the part where the kids are making their run for the train.
I’m with you there. I’d also throw in that chase scene and the opening with O... Saya. 🙏 🙏
The police called me today. They found my documents. 👋 Some guy—way far from where I actually lost them—found everything. He didn't touch the wallet, though. 🙏 🙏 It looks like they didn't raid the wallet after all. 😁 So, there it is. I’m officially eating my words. 🙂
Hey, you have no idea what a total nightmare it is trying to get new IDs issued Not to mention I’m currently running pretty low on cash 😁
But honestly, the worst part of this whole mess is seeing someone just toss documents all over the street. I mean, seriously? Take the money if you want, but there's zero benefit to grabbing someone else's driver's license or insurance card. All you're doing is causing massive headaches for a stranger. You could have just reached out; maybe you would have even earned a reward, or at least left them somewhere they could actually be found. But no... instead, you just leave the chaos behind.
So, I finally got the lowdown on what happened to my wallet. 😁 My wife called me after hearing about it on the radio—turns out she found my monthly budget scattered all over the street. Basically, they picked my wallet clean and tossed the rest aside, and I hadn't even accounted for those $17 items yet. I suppose they figured they could use the cash for some prescription meds. 😠
Had a few too many drinks this past Friday night... 😢 My wallet is still sitting there with my driver’s license, insurance card, and my monthly transit pass (🙂)... what can I actually do to boost my chances of getting it back? Some people suggested calling local radio stations—apparently, in cities like Indianapolis, everything ends up being turned in there. I also heard that Unique might have its own Lost and Found system...
Anthony Jackson50 said:Here are a few of my personal takes: I definitely fall into that camp of people who think The Thin Red Line and Magnolia are just plain boring. The Conversation is actually a pretty boring movie—but honestly, that’s a far cry from saying it isn't good! I still keep a copy in my collection, though. I honestly feel like I could watch The Remains of the Day over and over again—it’s one of those absolute gems that just never gets old! Every single time I sit down to watch it, I find something new to appreciate; it’s just so deeply engaging and stays interesting no matter how many times it rolls around. I watched All the President's Men recently—and man, it was a bit of a slog for me! You know, I’ve seen some polls floating around where people have actually crowned The Exorcist as the greatest horror movie of all time—and honestly? I think they've got a point. It isn't just empty jump scares; there's real substance there. I feel like Lost in Translation is honestly kind of Boring—it just drags for me—but I have to admit, the lead actors are enough to pull you through it. Citizen Kane has one of the absolute best endings in cinema history—hands down! Honestly, I have to agree—Alexander is just a terribly boring movie. You really need some patience when it comes to watching for Rublev—honestly, even I found it pretty Boring back when I was a teenager. The Crying Game is anything but a boring movie! I have to say, Mean Streets didn't exactly blow me away—even with all the massive amounts of praise I've been reading about it lately... Legends of the Fall is easily one of the most boring movies I've ever sat through...
Let's make one thing clear right from the jump—we aren't here to talk about those low-budget B and C movies. In this thread, let's stick to the heavy hitters—only the famous works by legendary directors and acclaimed authors. For instance: I have to admit, I was really looking forward to diving into Jim Jarmusch's work, but honestly? Both Dead Man and Broken Flowers felt pretty Boring to me—just couldn't quite get into the groove of them, despite my high expectations! When it comes to the Coen brothers, they really seem to have this binary way of working—it’s either an absolute blast or a total slog to sit through. Personally, I think Barton Fink and The Man Who Wasn't There fall squarely into that second category... definitely more of a "tough watch" than a fun night at the movies! Great Anti-recommendation: Half Nelson: Even though some big-shot critics have hailed this one as a masterpiece—some even ranking it among the top 10 films of the decade—it’s honestly such a drag. It’s just incredibly Boring. That being said, Gosling really did nail his part.
I can't say I disagree. Half the movie was spent staring at Sharon Stone and 😍Chloe.
