Visiting Rentacoder.com
Category: web
I was visiting to see what people are looking for these days - purely for fun. Its also kind of interesting to see people's expectations and source code that gets attached. Some of it is so full of bugs and dangerous security issues. The best is all the marketing people that know they want something but are not sure of the technologies or their relationships to one another. Like, "I need a mysql/css website for user interaction." Yes, both of those technologies are used in web development but I have never heard them described together as the two main technology requests. I think web development just assumes CSS nowadays.

We need a 35 page website for a client.

Does anyone describe websites in pages anymore. That sounds so 1997.

Another one is to create a unique taxpayer identification number system for a whole country. THat has to be a scam.

The objective of this project is to carry out a successful roll-out and implementation of the Unique National Taxpayer Identification Number (U-TIN) for the country and the development of a related data base linked to all relevant stakeholders in order to bring the country's tax administration and practice in line with global best practices.

It is expected, that the U-TIN, when implemented would ensure proper identification and registration of all tax-payers and create an efficient and effective tax system for the entire country. Description: Files:

Did people actually bid on these requests?

8.5 Americans in Interracial Marriage
Category: web
I think CNN got the numbers wrong:

The number of interracial marriages have skyrocketed, nearly quadrupling between 1970 and 2005, the most recent year for which there is census data. As of 2005, nearly 8.5 Americans are living in interracial marriages



I feel bad for that 0.5 person that didn't even count as a whole person.

Don't feel bad, he was a zombie. We all know they decompose in 8.5 days.

Parkside Candies

While (e:shawnr) was in town we stopped at Parkside Candies on main
street in university heights. It was the first time I had been
there. The place looks awesome on the inside. We bought truffles,
sponge candy and coconut fatty's.

That sounds so politically incorrect. Hey. You. Coconut Fatty!

paul - 10/18/09 18:31
Its delicious. It's basically coconut shreds in chocolate.
james - 10/18/09 15:11
What is a coconut fatty? It sounds like a Hawaiian's wang.
uncutsaniflush - 10/18/09 11:24
That looks wonderfully old-school. We've wondered what it looks like inside. Thanks for the pix.

Is she wearing a strap on?
metalpeter - 10/18/09 11:45
You Should try it just to see what the game is like, oh wait you have the Play Station not the Xbox 360. It is possible that is is based off a movie or cartoon, it sounds like it would make a great movie.
