Comment Use good folder names (Score 1) 259

Personally I maintain my own directory structure and use an OLD version of ThumbsPlus to view the photos. It is also good for things like batch converting and rotation.

I have an Incoming folder for unsorted-direct-from-camera photos, then when I sort them out I make folders with a naming scheme like this:

YYYYMMDD - Hiking on Blue Ridge Parkway

I also make a folder for miscellaneous pictures for each year named YYYY0000 - Miscellaneous.

Comment Re:About time! (Score 1) 129

The calls I've received say something like (in an Indian accent) "This is Robert from Windows, we are calling because it has been reported your computer has errors and is sending them over the Internet."

I've also given them the "Does your mother know what you do for a living?" line. They try to justify what they're doing and I cut them off and say "You're a scammer and you're stealing people's money and you should be ashamed." That's when they hang up.

Anyway TFA doesn't specifically say this operation is the one with the Indian accent callers, but I sure hope so. Although the "cardholder services" robo-calls got shut down a few years ago only to re-emerge strong as ever in the last year or so. I even resorted to pressing 5 to opt out, which actually seemed to work for while, but now I'm back to 1 or 2 calls a day from them. :(

Comment Am I the only one? (Score 1) 120

Am I the only one that thinks having an exploding bag in your car is a dumb idea from the beginning? No doubt they have saved some lives, but how many of those people would have been ok with just seatbelts? Also how many people were injured by airbag deployment (in properly working airbags, not these defective metal-spewing airbags!) that would have otherwise been unharmed?
