I'd like to think this was all a fictional story to begin with, even if the poem it isn't authentic, fwd:emails still go arround about this My RIGHT-WING DAD.net: Fwd: FW: Judge Roy Moore

A BLOG CATEGORALLY, CLUSTERING AND COMPRESSING, THATS A STRETCH;

A good example I found from the website called Geobytes
GeoBytes advertises with their name with a slogan : "GeoBytes - because everyone's somewhere.
To Further That Example, look at GeoBytes Where people think of the Internet as being a global village with no borders, no laws and no boundaries.
While this new frontier may bring many benefits, it is not an environment that instills trust or a sense of security. To those contemplating online purchases it can be downright frightening, and at least a significant deterrent to purchase. Geobytes content localization technology suppresses that fear by making the viewer feel at home. No doubt one of the best ways to sell your message, products and services online is to customize the content on your web site in a way that will appeal to your visitors. An Internet user in Phoenix is more likely to make an online purchase from a local supplier in Phoenix than from an unknown entity in a foreign land. In this sense a local supplier is not just one that is physically located in the user's city, but one that services the locals of that city. '; document.write(imgsource);//-->
For the web developer, Geobytes content localization technology is 'rain maker' technology.

Select your preference for the following: - Taking time off from school to gain industry experience before graduation. - Participating in a research project with a UK professor or outside source. - The Grade Point Average you would like to have each semester. Select your preference for desired accumulative GPA: - Desired overall GPA is a 2.0 or higher. - Desired overall GPA is a 2.5 or higher. - Desired overall GPA ia a 3.0 or higher. - Desired overall GPA is a 3.5 or higher. - The number of semesters you prefer to graduate in. Select your preference for number of semesters to graduate in: - Obtain a degree from UK in fewer than 5 semesters. - Obtain a degree from UK in 5 or 6 semesters. - Obtain a degree from UK in 7 or 8 semesters. - Obtain a degree from UK in 9 or 10 semesters. - Obtain a degree from UK in more than 10 semesters. - - - Graduate School. I plan on attending graduate school: - - It's a good idea to work on projects on your own outside of class. - Industry. I plan on working in the computer industry: - - Most industry jobs will require you to keep a regular schedule. Getting used to rising early might not be a bad idea. Both Klapper and Jaromczyk are good professors to work on a research project with. - Maximize my GPA. I want to maximize my GPA: - - Many students are not at their best in the morning. Unless you are a morning person, you may want to avoid taking too many early classes. Choose classes at a time that you are fully alert and can work well. Choose homework styles that you are comfortable with and perform well on. - Graduate rapidly. I want to graduate as soon as possible: - - Strong restrictions on your available times may prevent you from taking required courses which offer only one or two sections each semester. Strong restrictions on the professors you are willing to work with may prevent you from taking required courses which are only taught by one professor each semester. Strong restrictions on the days of the week that you want classes may prevent you from taking required courses that are only offered on certain days. - Party like a rock star. I plan on partying as much as possible: - Remember, early classes are tricky when you've been out all night drinking. Don't put your course load too high. The less homework you have, the more time is left over to party. Avoid Goldsmith and Klapper if you can. They won't give you a break if you're hung over. - Attending school on a part-time basis. I plan on attending school on a part-time basis: - It's good to have all classes around the same time so that a working day is not broken apart. Either morning classes or evening classes are good but not both at the same time. Projects for a class can take a lot of time outside of class to complete.
