Доброго времени суток товарищи!
Чтение чужих смсок это конечно бред, НО вот определение местонахождения телефона это технически возможно
система тта же что и в автомобильных GPS навигаторах только тут поиск идет по GSM стандарту
только среди лоххотронов сложно найти реальный сайт, путем проб и ошибок
нашел вот этот, все работает и определяется на карте

http://tinyurl.com/ycoaf2k

НО и здесь услуга платная 1 раз определить местоположение стоит 15рублей (это с меня снимали на мегафоне по столько)

For the first time ever, David Lapham, creator of the comic book Stray Bullets is selling original art.

Jesus, if I had a few hundred bucks to blow right now...

Stray Bullets, by the way, was/is an independently published black and white noir comic book that Lapham published, wrote and drew himself. He stopped publishing it (mid-storyline) in late 2005 because he wasn't making any money doing it and started having kids. Now, he mostly writes for Marvel and DC.

Stray Bullets is probably one of my top 5 favorite comics of all time. If you've never read it, Lapham has the first 4 issues up on his website that you can read for free. I believe issue #4 is the one that got me hooked, but you should go ahead and read all of them.

On the other hand, you might not want to get too terribly attached because the trade paperbacks for what has been released are all out of print and hard to find. The first two are on eBay all the time, but the rest? Only occasionally and they sometimes get pretty expensive.

Still, though. I hold out hope that one day Lapham will either start Stray Bullets up on his own again, or maybe let someone else publish it. I just found out today that there's a Stray Bullets short story in the recently released Dark Horse Noir Anthology, so... who knows? You can read that story at the website, too, which makes me happy.

I actually have a sticker on the rear window of my car of Amy Racecar, one of the SB characters. It's been there so long it's faded into this cool reverse negative-looking thing.



If you read these and enjoy them, I would definitely recommend some of Lapham's Marvel & DC stuff. Especially the recently cancelled Vertigo series, The Young Liars. You can get the first trade for $9.99 on Amazon and you should because it gets my vote for the best thing he's done outside of SB. I also recommend Silverfish, a standalone noir graphic novel for Vertigo and Batman: City of Crime, which I really enjoyed. Or the first volume of Terror, Inc. which isn't noir-ish, but is really funny.

Either way, it looks like Lapham needs the money and I think he deserves all of it that can be thrown at him.

Oh, and here's a picture of Lapham and I. )

medical doctor? [Nov. 6th, 2009|10:44 am]

japanese

[sapah_fu]
I am currently making meishi for my mom's employees to present to some japanese people who are visiting her company later this month. since some of the people I am making business cards for are doctors, I obviously want to denote that on their cards. however, I don't know how D:

the word for "M.D."/"doctor of medicine" is 医学博士 (いがくはかせ / いがくはくし)

I don't know whether to put it before, after, or under the person's name on the card. does anyone know? or has anyone seen a meishi from a japanese doctor who could help me out? any help would be greatly appreciated... my japanese professor is taking forever to email me back D: thanks!


cross-posted (once!) sorry!
