    BTW, how many more versions of windows will continue to "hide extensions for known file types"?

    I don't expect that to change in any future version of Windows. Here's a link to fix your problem.

    That's not the IT industry, it's the software industry. The IT industry, of course, doesn't allow users to install software willy-nilly, especially if downloaded off the Internet and mindlessly clicking "Yes"/"I Accept" everything.

    Two-factor authentication is based on what you know (your password) and what you have (your cellphone). If script kiddies tries to hack into your account by guessing your password, they will still need your cellphone before they can log into your account.

    Am I the only one who thinks it's wrong to scrutinize what people do during their own time, and then use that information to decide how they are to be treated on company time?

    If your private action makes the corporation look bad, you can generally be fired from your job. A good reason to keep your personal and professional lives as separate as possible.

    Country and Polka, I'm not very much into either.

    My father's truck only has two radio stations when I was growing up in Silicon Valley: country and talk.

    Everything else was off limits. I don't listen to country anymore but I still listen to talk.

    Since you're familiar with that particular weapon, can you tell me how likely it is for someone who bought one only days prior to be familiar enough with it to be able to cycle the trigger that fast?

    The shooter had police training and worked as an armed guard. In short, a failed cop. Amazing how dangerous those people can be when they fall short of their dreams.

    If just one patron of that night club last week had a gun, they could have put one between the shooter's eyes when he first started shooting and fewer people would have died.

    That argument falls apart inside a crowded night club. Bar tender calls for final drinks, shooter opens fire with an assault rifle. The first 20 to 30 people in front of the shooter are already dead. The person with a concealed gun may already be dead. People starts running to the exits. The person with a concealed gun may already be the first one out the door. Shooter loads a new clip in. The person with a concealed gun may be standing on the far side of the room, drunk and stoned out of his/her mind, probably shoots four or five other people who were in the way without ever hitting the shooter. When the police rush in, the person with a concealed weapon will probably be mistaken as the shooter and gets shot dead.

    I hate to break the bad news to you. Your brother committed suicide. He ate the "Chocolate Lover's Suicide Cake" in one sitting. No one in his right mind does that. Not even fat people.
