Very cool toy....
« on: August 01, 2005, 05:21:30 AM »
Has anyone seen this new mobile location thing - lets you locate people using their mobile phones, bit like GPS...

I came across this one the other day, which seems really good - www.closer-business.com - also seems quite cheap, unless you use it an awful lot.

Signed up for a free trial, and seems like a viable alternative to GPS tracking, although obviously the accuracy is really dependent on where you are. Did locate someone in London the other day, and it got down to about 200 metres though, which I thought was pretty damn good... pretty much street level.

Has anyone had any experience with using things like this in practice?

Hi!  We love that you felt compelled to join the forum and make a post.  However, tradition has it that you should create a newbie thread wherein you'll post some inane crap about who you are and what you do etc.  We'll pretend we care and welcome you to the fold and then, and ONLY then, will your posts be recognized outside the newbie forum with something other than scorn.

You're the greatest.

This would be much cooler if it didnt require approval from the recepient...

Though admittedly, having my manager realise that all my dr appointments were really just trips to the pub would kinda suck...

Well, now that I've read all of your drivel, let me be the first to say...buh-bye.  It's been nice knowing you, and we sure will miss you around here.

Oh yeah, one last thing.  Only morons and/or 12 year olds type like you.  I've said it before and I'll say it again.  Quit ditching fucking English class!  God damn kids!

GET OFF MY LAWN!

As a general question to whatever legal experts are on hand: is it too late for this asshat to be aborted?

Edit: By the way, when you start to wonder why you got banned, it's because you insulted one of the funniest people around here.  Oh, and he happens to be one of the charter members of this board.  Thanks for playing though.

Edit to the Edit: Make that two charter members that you've insulted in the span of less than four minutes.  This comment is in reference to your post in the newb forum.

I was wondering who the first person to point him out would be. If there wasn't anyone, hell, I was about to say something.

Props to ya Ves. With every new post I read, the more frustrated I became with this guy.

Yeah... I'm better.

Yesterday I had a bad reaction to the pain killers that they prescribed for me.  I guess I didn't eat enough with them.

The back/abdominal pain that I need the painkillers for is still pretty constant.

We'll know because your spelling and grammar are particularly horrendous. If you attempt to conceal them by posting like a human being, then one of the main problems I have with your shitty posts will be eliminated.

See, either way, we win.

Mate. You are an embarrassment to all Australians, let alone the human race.  Learn how to speak English you over-caffeinated wanker.
