Hej! Min minderårige son fick denna skärmsläckare på en CD skiva via ett massutskick av reklam. Jag upprörs över det sätt på vilket rasistiska och nazistiska propagandister tillåts förmedla sin avskyvärda ideologi till barn. Jag överväger nu att polisanmäla detta tilltag så snart du, i egenskap av juridisk fackman, delgett mig din åsikt. Tack på förhand.
Edit: it looks as if someone is referring to Nazi propaganda...and says "thanks in anticipation", but I have no idea...

Take the second and third noun or verb from "The Word of the Day" definition (www.m-w.com), and Google images from that. Or, if you need more frequency, pick a random quote generator as a source.
Sounds weird, but strangely scientific. You must have rules to randomness, or it's simply not random.

I was just rendering a huge file that I completed editing. It was just getting to the end and suddenly my second hard drive started creaking and wirring. A blue screen of death popped up but it was one I haven't seen before:
"Unable to write to drive D: all flies may be lost"
That scared the life out of me. Nothing would work then, my computer totally crashed, which is does sometimes but this time even the mouse wasn't moving.
The D drive was still making crunching sounds so I switched my computer off. When I switched it back on again there was no noise and I let the scandisk work it's way through both my drives which took ages... then everything was fine again. No problems, nothing.
I backed up all my important files from my documents and other bits onto my c drive, just to be on the safe side. Then I tried the same job that crashed my computer the first time... and it happened again!
Anyway, I think I've got a dead 60gig drive on my hands, which pisses me off. Either that or a virus. I hope not a virus.

i nearly lost 2 40GB drives that way - turned out (as far as i could tell) that my IDE controllers were goosed & i had to replace my mobo. my advice - don't tinker with it any more, get those drives installed in another machine if you have one, or have a kind friend, and get all the data off them if it's still recoverable. *then* worry about what to do next....

if there's vital stuff on there you may need to go to professionals to get it off. There are lots of ads in the back of the geek press for disk rescuers.
The more you try to use it the more damage you're going to do to it.
