Fucking Paypal man… How the fuck do they get away with it...

• I send someone a payment for 245 $. Since I have 250 $ in my PP balance, the fee for the personal payment is 4.90 $, and not over 10 $. That's the good news.
• It shows me that the 245 + 4.9 (so 249.90 $) I sent, equals just under 196 €...

Your total charge: 
$249,90 USD
(equal to €195,95 EUR)

• the person that receives the 245 $ converts it to €uro and gets this amount: 181.38 €.

So in the world of Paypal, 4.90 $ is worth 14.62 €…

The bad news for all you lads is that I will ONLY accept payments in €uro in the future, with the conversion done by an OFFICIAL source (http://www.xe.com/ucc/)…

slept at in-laws house last night. Wake up this morning, take shower, get dressed, put on boots notice they are wet and smell funny. Their fucking dog pissed in my Alden Roy boots.

Sorry D666, I'm still laughing…...

Is his name Allen Edmonds?

In my younger days I used to have a beautiful Siberian Husky called Sasha, and one day Sasha eat £100 in notes, and my £200 Yohiji Yamamoto Adidas sneakers…... Sasha is no longer with us.

[Chris]

Why were you keeping cash in your trainers, silly man?

Oh, and is your Sasha fur lined jacket toasty warm?

[Finn666]

so good D666…so much to Alden eh!?
i wonder if he would have done the same to Vibergs, Wescos or White´s

[derivative666]

i really would like to know how a seul pig would have handled the situation!

[Seul]

It would have recognised its value, taken pics, and put them up for sale on SuFu, StyleForum, and here.

[Finn666]

[Seul]

Granted, the pics might've been a bit M_P'ish…

PS: miss that fella...

@Megatron1505:

Strange question to Finn and Scroogen, when you power up the hard drive does it make a slight clicking noise? If so, it is indeed dead.

ok, back to this…my external hd "sounds" like it is working, so i hear some movement going on, when powering it up! still i can´t "see" it in the workspace though and no sign is showing after i´ve plugged it in...strange!

going to send this fekker to cologne soon…the hd is fucked but i need someone to help me out on getting back my data! min. cost of 249€...yessir!

[Seul]

That's bullshit. Do some Google'ing first… I know my mate sent his HD to China (!) to get it fixed/ the date recovered, and it was far, fàr less...

[Finn666]

hmmmmm…
will do tomorrow, but maybe you could ask your mate again?

[Seul]

I'd rather not, as I'm not sure whether it was fixed completely. All I know is that I made the payment to the Chinese fella and it was far, far less. So I'm sure there must be a cheaper way.

[Snowy]

Data recovery programs are WAY less than that. If the drive is spinning the recovery will likely work. As said by others if it stutters/chinks etc, it's likely going to need to have the platters (spinning disks), inserted into another drive/motor, which has a very low success rate, unless extremely qualified. Summary; DIY, or pay a fortune with a chance of kissing it goodbye anyhow.

[Finn666]

thanks for the input guys. well the hd starts to run when i power it up and after a short time, a "clicking" is clearly hearable.
brought it to a friend of mine who´s running a computer store and he told me that the write-read head of the hd is fekked (that´s why the "clicking")…
the external hd isn´t showing when plugged in!
