Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Have you heard of anyone getting an "Assertion Error" when it tries to go to the web page to log in to your account?
An assertion is a programming tool where essentially the programmer is saying, "I expect things to be like this at this point - if they're not, let me know." So it's not really an error in the usual sense, but it does mean that the program did something (had some result, etc.) that was not expected or the programmer thought should not happen.

Anyone besides me having trouble getting into gmail today? Google itself works fine, as do all other URLs.

Well, google and gmail have multiple sites, so depending on where you're located you might be hitting a different server than I am.

Movie, music or game with your Big Mac, sir? That’s what The Walt Disney Company in Hollywood has in mind. Patents filed by Disney reveal plans to drip-feed entertainment into a portable player while the owner eats in a restaurant.
You only get the full programme by coming back to the restaurant a number of times to collect all the instalments. McDonalds could use the system instead of giving out toys with Happy Meals, suggests Disney’s patent.
Portable players and modern cellphones store entertainment files in memory cards. They often have built-in Bluetooth or WiFi, too, for wireless downloading. Big files, such as a movie, take a long time to capture, so Disney will break the file into several segments that can be downloaded separately and spliced together by the player.
When the owner buys a meal they get an electronic code that authorises a partial download. If the file is in five parts there is a strong incentive to come back for four more meals.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That could be crack, if well managed.

That Foldershare program looks sweet. Hopefully, my friend will get it working on his machine.

Jon,
the only thing you need to know, is you need to go to Foldershare Satellite (in your toolbar), More, Settings, Transfers
Uncheck "allow web transfers from this computer"
Otherwise, I think it is possible for someone with access to your folder will be able to access any file on your computer. Which...I don't think you want.
