I once had a user that had a strange (to her) dialog box.
She could take a screenshot of the box only (alt+print screen, so not that clueless after all), print it, and faxed it to me with a handwritten note asking 'what should I do?'.
I should add that the dialog box only had a 'OK' button, and that was the only option...

An anonymous reader writes: A Finnish upper secondary school student posted his plans for executing a massacre in Jokela today in advance on the Internet, including a video on YouTube (the video is now removed, however). According to the Finnish news paper Helsingin Sanomat (in Finnish), he posted a 21-file package on the Internet including a manifest stating (freely translated) "I cannot say I am part of the same race as this lousy, arrogant and selfish human race. No! I have developed a step ahead." The newspaper also reports the shooting was inspired by the shootings in Columbine. The number of victims is not yet clear, but according to rumours one has died.

Submission + - School shooting at .fi after YouTube videos

An anonymous reader writes: Today a school shooting took place in Finnish school of Jokela, Tuusula. My big condolences to all families and friends of its victims. :(

A student with obvious mental problems took lives of seven people (status at 15:51 +2UTC, one critical with head wound in hospital) with .22 caliber pistol. His is now in police custody. According to his now closed youtube account his previous account got removed: YouTube suspended my previous account but I am back now :) My new account name is German and means "Stormspirit" in English. — reasons that it was full of similar videos showing that he is planning this massacre. People at Youtube and its users surely think that they should have done more than close his account. The question is, how many others are out there, and will we learn something about this? How this will change our access to online services like youtube and goverment reactions to such cases in the future? Finnish PM Matti Vanhanen already stated that it's extremely difficult to prepare to such incidents but I don't fully agree with him as there were clear evident in youtube days before and lot of people saw it.

A really sad story indeed. :(
