Best one I ever saw was some guy on Flickr that had a featured picture. he had tagged it with words to entice lurkers (i.e. nakey, potty, bathtime, littlegirl). But the picture was just a cardboard sign saying something like 'you need help'. He then reported on the search terms that lead people to the picture. Surprising how many searches there were for 'little girl nakey', etc.
I remember (well, I remember seeing pictures) those old newspaper headlines that freakin' paragraphs of text. Seriously, like multiple sentences (or at least should have been multiple sentences). Example: http://img219.imageshack.us/i/titanicnytkp7.jpg/
I would recommend you swap out some hardware, namely the graphics card. What you describe sounds less like a Windows issue and more like a graphics card issue (though I don't know what you mean by 'wigs out'). Get yourself a different graphics card and swap it out and see if the issue goes away. And honestly, who pays for AV on a non-corporate machine?
This article reads like those doom-crying rants I've seen on truther/birther/tinfoilhat websites. Seriously? The people down at the local Chinese food restaurant are a threat? And you think this because your former Russian spook friend 'Stan' told you so?? Dude, WTH. And don't even get me started about the various source-uncited claims about Chinese student-spies infiltrating our schools 21 Jump Street style. My god...this is sad.
But using the copier is the hard way. With the exception of really big ones (i.e. Docutech) these things don't have keyboards or mice. The only input they have is a clunky letter-scroll or, if you're lucky, a touchscreen. It was hell using those to search for a file or document. Easier to step 2 feet over to the PC, open the PDF (or whatever) and print it to the copier. Took about 10 minutes to setup and only seconds per job to use. Compared to wading thru the copier UI, that was the easiest way in the world.
I spent 10 years in the reprographics industry and I agree, we don't need hard drives on the copiers.My boss always paid extra for this 'feature' on every machine, and within 2 weeks we never used it again. That's what file servers are for. None of these machine were stand-alone; they all had Ethernet connectivity. I plugged them into the network and, if large jobs needed to be stored for longer than the time needed to make a copy, we stored the files on the server. All the one-off jobs just used the volatile memory on the machine.
""Oooh, the Germans are mad at me... I'm so scared! Oooooh, the Germans...Uh oh...The Germans are coming after me... Oh, don't let the Germans come after me... Oh, the Germans are coming after me... No, they're so big and strong... Protect me from the Germans!"
But they can fine you for recording and distributing it (which is what Google is doing). Like a radio scanner that can pick up cell phone calls. Sure you listen, but you can never (legally) disseminate the information; even if you hear someone planning a murder.
Slashdot readers still allow their browsers to display ads? That's adorable. But seriously, all I use my Hotmail account for is logging into messenger (using an app called 'A-Patch' to remove ads there as well) and as a dumping ground for spam.
I have to agree. Though I have found that after watching Friends and such ad nauseum, I am much better able to pick up the subtleties of deadpan humor like Colbert or The Office.
Wow, that's not the response I expected. Usually when I make statements like that I am met with responses ranging from the dismissive to the angry. It's nice to know that a guy who never spent a day in college can draw the same conclusion as someone in postgraduate studies...maybe there's something to that IQ test after all.
But almost committing a crime is not a crime. That's no big deal with robbery, assault, theft, arson, etc. In fact, with most crimes a person in our society can openly boast about how they were tempted but resisted; and be praised as a result. But with sex crimes it's different. A person with those urges cannot confide in a friend or classmate about how they are physically attracted to a 7-year-old girl. If they did, even if they committed no crime, they would likely be, at least, arrested.
Legally or not, that's how it is. Ask any parent with young children if it's okay if the guy who likes to wank off while looking at catalog pictures of prepubescent girls in their undies can live next door to them. Even the most liberal of liberals will likely say 'no thanks'.
Not in prison. All sessions (that I have seen) are videotaped. You've seen Terminator 2? Where the doctor is talking with Sarah Connor? It's not entirely unlike that at all. This isn't about 'curing' the sex offender. It's about understanding why they do what they do and to give the illusion to the prison that, if they are honest, they just might go free (which of course they never will). I have spoken with 100's of sex offenders (usually those convicted of sex crime against minors) and I have yet to meet on that is articulate or particular bright. In short, the smart perverts never get caught (or if they do, they get acquitted).
The thing is a good deal of the really scary stuff doesn't come out until after their incarceration. Many prisoners, and sex offenders especially, get compulsory therapy in prison. During these session it's often discovered that they did far worse than, say, feel up their niece. Like stalking neighbor children or raping their neighbors dog (seriously, I volunteer in prisons and this stuff comes out).
That's when the official decide, hey...this guy us a lot more dangerous than we thought....now what do we do? Let me out after 18 months and just hope he 'learns his lesson'?
If there are no alternatives, then I guess one is stuck. Personally, I don't fly unless it's a chartered plane. I will drive, take a train, or a ship. I have yet to find a place that I cannot get to that way. Sure it's takes longer and costs more. Kind of like going to the Farmers market instead of Wal Mart for my fruits and vegetables. Call it living by ones principles I suppose. I lot of people do; until it starts to cost them time and money. I am not most people.
And...
Look, nobody likes being thought of as a potential terrorist. But at least you don't need to bend over for a special exam every time you show up at the airport.
A stinging sensation in the lower spine. It's Terellian Death Syndrome, isn't it?
We agreed you'd come to me before checking the medical database.
Well, this time I'm glad I did. Maybe we can stop the cellular decay before it's too late.
Reg, you don't have Terellian Death Syndrome.
- You're sure?
- I'm sure.
Then maybe it is Symbalene Blood Burn.
No. I don't see anything wrong at all. Wait a minute. There is a slight imbalance in your K-3 cell count.
My K-3s? No!
Barclay, I'm sure it's nothing.

You know if other parts of the world it's called MountainLionLife.com, Puma.com, or even PantherLife.com
The developers site is weird. Apparently he is some kind of Muslim evangelist. But I have had it installed for years now and it works well.

What amendment is that violating exactly? Not that I disagree....
Dude, that slope was slipped like decades ago. There's a reason why the US has more convicts that any other country in the world.
Or if you simply choose to live by your principles, no matter the cost. But that's not really something most people do.
And...
Yet.
