Hurray, hurray, it's the First of May!

Outdoor flocking starts today!

"So tell us again, Lefty, how you got that friction burn on your pecker."

And a free buggering once a week from your very own gigantic lifer cellmate. What could be better than that!

The basement-dwelling subset of the Slashdot community are praying they just don't make it smart enough to talk about...alternative uses for a vaccuum.

Slashdot's not particularly good for long back-and-forth exchanges, and it doesn't have the most modern-looking interface. That's a good thing. Because the commenting approach is STILL head and shoulders above most of what's happening now. Part of the Slashdot attraction is its quirkiness in a sea of one size fits all websites.

You're losing that.

This looks just like a hundred other sites, with a tuck here and a poke there to make it look marginally original. The commenting structure genuinely sucks. And it looks to me like it was designed to suck. It isn't that you need a few tweaks to fix little problems. The direction you've chosen is WRONG. I suspect it was chosen because some jackhole who uses terms like "monetize" and "accounting noise" got hold of the reins, and intends to Huffpost the place.

But hey, who am I to say it sucks like a tornado on meth? I've only been coming here for a few years.

I'm pretty sure my buddy's dating one.

Thanks for the information. I've found that a heads-up on certain file names can be quite helpful, however. If a particular file name has been targeted by nasty people, I'll just submit the one on machine for analysis by one of the many on-line anti-malware sites that attend to such things.

As it works out, I've learned that according to several sources the specific DLL's on my system are OK. They're where they belong, they're exactly the right size and contain exactly what they should contain...nothing more, nothing less.

I found both of them in TOR browser software and the pro edition of Easeus Partition Master 9.1.1 (legally obtained, not pirated).

So is there something inherently wrong with dll's bearing that name, or are they OK except when they crop up in Filezilla?

Jersey.

You shouldn't talk with your mouth full. :-)

And you sound like a hobo who gets most of their calories from all the semen you guzzle in public toilets.

So how about you get back on your knees and have some breakfast.

...why would any sane person build their whole business on Google, with its reputation for pulling the plug on projects for no obvious reason, little or no warning, and absolutely no interest in granting stays of execution?

Seems like a recipe for disaster.

Old people? You need to open your eyes.

When you run into one of those nasty little fascists who have no respect for civil rights and damned little compassion, you can pretty much bet it's a 20-something.

And my buddy's 83-year-old father knows a hell of a lot more about computer hardware and software than most people I know aged 15 to 35. Among other things, he's digitized and sorted generations of photographs, sketches and Super-8 films. He's turned a selection of them into some really excellent movies, and he's set up a data base that's both flexible and easy to search covering families, family trees, friends, events and much more.

If you want a security nightmare, let a teenager loose on the family computer. Clueless little shytes, for the most part.

Wouldn't it be nice if people who wanted to screw Facebook made sure they had such third parties in many of their photos, and a highly carnivorous lawyer on retainer.

Or perhaps a fundamentalist rather than a vulcanologist?
