Just registered with Fema. WTF? |
|
Ok, I registered online with FEMA and just as you get started you have to type in a wavy odd looking code word (like you do with Ticketmaster or other online things to prevent mass computer spamming or whatever)
Guess what my word was? LOOTER! Is that rude or what? They could make up any freakin word to use to punch into that box, but they spit out LOOTER! Subliminal attempt to insult people who apply???

I wonder what a lawyer would say about that.
Can't be just random selection of letters!!

14. Ok, I backpaged here ya go |
|
https://www.disasteraid.fema.gov/famsVuWeb/integrationI tried it again too. Most of what I've gotten is nonsense words, (as it should be) but the last one I got when I hit refresh was "jewing" How do you do a screen save capture?

15. What system are you running? Windoze? |
|
Edited on Tue Sep-13-05 08:34 AM by thecorrection
If it's Windoze, then it's either shift+Print Screen or control+print screen. I can't remember which and I'm looking at a mac keyboard right now, so I can't be more specific, sorry. Anyone, once you do the print screen, you should be able to paste that image into paint or something.

The word is an image, right-click and save it.

18. It would actually be better as a capture, |
|
That way one can actually see it's from the FEMA site. Sourcing, it's all about sourcing.

On Windows, it's PrintScreen. Or Alt-PrintScreen to capture just the active window.

It won't let me refresh any more. Only other words that showed up were "inland" and "pooting"

23. Your welcome. Service Unavailable? So does that mean the site |
|
is down for people who are trying to make applications?
I heard someone on Randi Rhodes last Friday(?) who said they had to go through 14 screens just to get to the application.

27. No, it came back up after that |
|
I guess it just timed out.
But, yeah, you have to go through a gazillion pages to actually start.

29. I guess it could be....but I think the same 3rd party software is used... |
|
for registration at all sites. But, I guess someone could have fiddled with it. Quite frankly, being a programmer myself, I appreciate creativity/smartass qualities among us "soulless" programmers even when it is aimed at me.

34. this seems really bizarre |
|
reading this thread, there are "looter", "jewing", "crybabi"
I'm not sure these words are random. Maybe we can collect even more of these from the site.
