thank you TB!
I want to torture you. I used to love it, and it's been a long time. I mean, the last time I tortured someone, they didn't even have chainsaws.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Vortex, what prompted the request to update Adobe Flash? I've heard about some malware exploits using that. A quick google turns up: [link] and [link]
ISTR that the exploit prompts you to install v9 of Flash. My current version is 10,0,12,36
You can check your installed version here: [link]

It wasn't an email, it was a pop up update, so i thought it was legit.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Hey. New board.
Hi Hive.
I'm playing around, yet again, with creating a web page, and have run into a basic CSS problem that I just can't solve.
I want the top of my page to have some title text and a subtitle to the left, with a picture to the right. The picture may change size based on other inputs, but i always want the title text to be aligned with the bottom of the picture. For some reason, i can't figure out how to make this work - honestly, I'm still wrapping my head around divs and classes and boxes and so forth, and get myself confused a lot. Float Right seems to make it hard to align text with the bottom of the picture.
What I want is this:
________________
| |
| Picture |

TITLE TEXT | |
subtitle text ----------------
All other stuff goes down here.
Any help?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I'm guessing this is paranoia, but I don't have the time right now to look into it.
AND NOW THE MANCHURIAN MICROCHIP
All computers on the market today — be they Dell, Toshiba, Sony, Apple or especially IBM — are assembled with components manufactured inside the PRC. Each component produced by the Chinese, according to a reliable source within the intelligence community, is secretly equipped with a hidden microchip that can be activated any time by China’s military intelligence services, the PLA.
If you read the whole thing, it sounds like what the Cylons did to disable the Colonial defense computers, except this is a hardware thing....

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
No definite disproof -- it's an amusing meme to watch, though. About a month ago, it made the rounds (copied nearly verbatim, of course, except that nobody can decide if the guy is FBI, CIA, retired FBI...) of a bunch of the right-wing conspiracy sites (freepers, militia types, anti-chinese, anti-foreigners in general), and then disappeared until yesterday, when it's resurfaced on geek blogs.
That in itself makes me a little suspicious, but again, no debunkers yet. Wait a few hours.

Tom, my preference would be for the multi-purpose printer, but then I print out pages for home use all the time, and desk space is always at a premium.
