How do you stop users from double-clicking miley_cyrus_nude.jpg.exe?

Your link is broken. I double clicked it three times and... nothing.
To answer the question, you do it the same way that Reginald Barclay is stopped from making Holodeck images of crewmates: psychotherapy, drugs, and a smattering of social pressure.

Comment Re:Is It Worth Getting a New Job Over? (Score 1) 420

Anything that makes your stress level lower is worth getting a new job over. Enjoying your job is paramount. It's where you spend a huge portion of your day. It's the difference between coming home and getting more stressed because your family won't give you 15 minutes of downtime and you rushing home because you can't wait to enjoy time with your family, maybe tell them the neat thing you did at work (if they care about your job).

Why would you laugh at 0000-12-25?

For two reasons. One: year 0 doesn't exist. It goes from 1BC to 1AD, so it's either -0001/12/25 or 0001/12/25 (assuming 12/25 is correct, which for a movie is good enough). The other reason it's funny: Doc Brown wasn't thinking fourth-dimensionally. They'd need to have means of travel over to Bethlehem.

Comment All family cars? (Score 1) 420

Will the interlock be required on all cars the offender owns (but is not the primary driver for)? Timmy is just starting to drive at 16, but since Mom drove drunk, Timmy get the social ostracization of looking like a drunkard in his brand new 16th birthday gift (not a hand-me-down car, but still owned by mommy-dearest).
And what if it's all cars the offender has access to (owned by members of the household)? "Roommate wanted: $300/year, great view of city, 1100 sq ft for your portion of apartment, must be willing to install and use interlock device in car."

The crap was in the LOTR appendices.

Show me anywhere in the appendices where an elf and dwarf fall in love.
Show me where the barrel-escape is a fast-paced, arrow-laden chase.
Show me the ridiculous fight between Smaug and Thorin's company. Smaug never met any of the dwarves in Thorin's group, and he never saw Bilbo. The whole time, he thought Bilbo was human (but was confused by the scent).
Show me Longshot^W Legolas using his luck powers and hollow bones to run up falling blocks.
