April Fools Computer Virus

indeed.

Jokes so far, but the author is telling us that he could very well have caused SERIOUS damage. It is, however, still the 1st.

 

I humbly refrain from taking my beliefs any farther. However, my teen decides to play baseball and gets hit in the mouth and it breaks their jaw, knowing they played baseball isn't going to change the fact that they have a broken jaw. Teaching them how to catch the ball, might have helped.

If you can't trust an alcoholic not to drink, you keep alcohol out of the house. If you can't trust a teen to use the internet respectfully, you keep the internet out of the house, or lock the whole computer, even the room it's in. Lots of people made it through life without the internet.

There's a psychologist on the radio that I listen to a lot, and she'll tell you, if you're going to snoop, you can't be angry with the information you find.

Two wrongs, never make a right.

No offense Laura.

 

Keylogger would be the least of problems for my - kid. And NO I would not be ashamed tell her that I don't trust her. That's my job to let her know how I feel-PERIOD
That has to be communicated in NO uncertain terms..

 

I guess it's better to KNOW what someone is up to, rather than guess and tear a family apart. I'll never use a key logger, and I wouldn't allow such a thing in my house. I can understand though, I suppose, why someone might want to go that route.

I'd rather sit with the kids and watch them use the internet than have a conversation that started "I know you're going to a party tonight, because I have a key stroke recorder on the computer."

I guess time will tell for sure what I do, but even talking about this makes me disgusted.

As I said, I am out of this conversation. I've said my peace, and just won't sway.

Did the painter come yet? LOL

 

Yes, whole heartedly for your last post, regarding - knowing what someone is up to .... If not, then its a parents responsibility to find out..

 

My 2cents worth......if you raise your kids to be honest with you then there is no reason for a keylogger......but if there is no relationship like that and your trust has been broken then it is your responsibility to make sure that they are not doing something that will in the long run hurt them.....and we all know that the internet is a dark and ominous place for youngsters......I am glad my kids show me and tell me "most" everything!

 

Sorry, how did this thread go from Conficker to keyloggers?

 

ya! no i was just curious, i havent been payin attention...

 

everything is upside down on youtube.

 

Awesome catch, check this link from youtube Click.

 

Just checked, really annoying as I wanted to see a recipe to make for today. Luckily I spotted the undo button on the second try. Pretty lame in my books.

 

Fox news has it on the list already. Click

 

"Our internal tests have shown that modern computer monitors give a higher quality picture when flipped upside down—kind of like how it's best to rotate your mattress every six months":-D

 

try watching a "recommended for you" video.

edit after your edit: that too.

 

That's what they did last year with 'recommended' pulling up the same same video all the time. Oh well, everyone expects some jocularity on Apr. 1st for some reason. I guess I'm just a grumpy old man.:-D

 

when i first saw it i was like wtf. then i remembered it was fools day.
i was going to pull a prank on my domain users with some server side funny times, but with the Conficker worm scaring everyone i thought it would be a bad idea...

 

This is not an April Fools day internet thingy, but about my brother pulling a stunt on that day decades ago, one of the many he did.

As a boss, he did send out one of his employees to a hardware store to buy a baseboard ladder. LOL Off he went...... not to one store only. :-D The store owner sent him along to another one and a third until the last one told him finally the truth. :guitar

 

I came to this on the recomendation of Kim Kommado. She said this site could offer help with a problem on my lap top. I am shocked that what I got was a lecture on how to and what to do with my children. Wow! You know nothing of my family dynamic and have no creditable way to make such comments about me or my family. Maybe the monitoring software is not there to "spy" on my kids. Did you ever give that a thought.

 

Ahh!...So that's what I need to do!:confused

 

Uhm, left handed wrench.:-D

 

I had one girl at a sears looking for (in one day) a left handed screw driver, AND Craftsman turn signal fluid for my riding mower. The employees she eventually asked never clued her in, at least while I was there, and one even looked at a computer, and told me they could order it in from another store. lol

 

LOL Uhm, a relic of the Holy Ghost. :-D

 

YouTube works right for me.

Oma, ever shop around for a 710 cap? All the rage at the local AutoZone stores. :-D

I have a metric and standard adjustable crescent wrench. :-D

And don't forget the blue tipped speed torch!

 

I work in the stores of a large joinery firm and often the padawans are sent over for tartan paint or two dozen sky hooks as part of their initiation. The most popular item by far is a glass hammer.

 

When i was a young engineer (many moons ago) i was sent for the long stand :-o

 

im here

 

Present and accounted for:hyper

 

I survived the apocalypse. Maybe if we all band together we will have a better chance at surviving the aftermath....:confused

 

Found this when I searched google images for "conflicker" LOL

You stole my sunshine Laura, was just about to post this..

on a side note, Kevin Bacon got his start in acting apparently on The Guiding Light.

 

I liked them all as I remember. It's the only movie I saw at a theater where popcorn went into the air (in fear, not because of a group of idiot high school kids.)

Although I took a girlfriend to see 13 Ghosts, and she wanted to leave. Luckily, I drove that day, so we didn't. LOL
