internetakias.gr (23) permalink
Αν κάποια στιγμή ανταποκριθείτε σε κάποια αγγελία και ο εργοδότης σας κλείσει κάποιο ραντεβού σε περίεργο μέρος ζητώντας σας να φοράτε ακόμα πιο περίεργα ρούχα τότε καλύτερα έχετε το νου σας. Κάποιος λοιπόν στην Αμερική έκανε το εξής. Εβαλε αγγελία στο craigslist όπου και ζητούσε εργάτες με μεροκάματο 28.5$ δολαρίων για την συντήρηση ενός δρόμου στο Monroe Αρκετοί απάντησαν και οι οδηγίες ήταν σαφείς. “Ελα την Τρίτη στις 11 το πρωϊ έξω απο την Bank ...Contribute comment -

Japanese author/translator Hiroko Yoda was having trouble signing up for a Facebook account. Every time she tried registering with her real full name, she got an error message. She suspected that it might be because of her last name was Yoda, so she tried spelling it slightly differently—Youda, Yohda, Yooda. No problem at all. When she e-mailed FB explaining her situation, she got this reply: Facebook blocks the registration of a number of names that ...Shared by (jeff)isageek (6) Adam Selwood (3) darkeye11547 (162) GioStam (1) Herbal Lemon (3) hibiscusroto (22) Jaume (0) jimi bandrix (162) lnxcwby (1) Luis Penados (9) marcosvicente2005 (24) Masafumi Otsune (71) Matthew (53) Melissa (1) Mike B (14) otsune (66) puthali (16) Robin Wauters (0) shahryarrakeen (4) Syng Shin (20) Tatsuhiko Miyagawa (81)- Mike B said: The trials of being a jedi master...

Chad laments that we don’t hear that much about the decathlon any more, because Americans aren’t really competitive. I also think it’s a shame, because any sport in which your score can be a complex number deserves more attention. Yes, it’s true. The decathlon combines ten different track and field events, so to come up with a final score we need some way to tally up all of the individual scores so that each event ...Shared by Argos (18) astroprof (0) B.M.
