    Jay:
    I was once surfing for some information on password encryption when one link I clicked on turned out to be a hacker web site, offering a password-cracking program for free downloads.

    And I thought to myself, Who in his right mind would voluntarily download software and run it on his own computer, that he knows comes from a site that advertises itself as being a bunch of hackers and virus writers? How dumb do you have to be?

    As dumb as a few people in my workplace that rely on others to format and reinstall their machines after they get up to such antics.

    Facebook can be a WTF. The real reason one of the users here bitched at me and her manager to upgrade her computer was purely to be powerful enough to display Facebook. Her actual job was running stuff on a cluster and using the PC as a fairly dumb terminal.
    You live and learn. Until now I didn't know that it should be parsed as "terminal for dumb users".

    <grammarNazi> "Criteria" is plural. The word for a single instance is "criterion". </grammarNazi>

    Not "criterium"? (criterion sounds odd to me, but then again, I am Dutch.)

    Greek, so -on, not -um. It's -um if you've imported it via Latin.

    Actually, the Facebook thing may also be malware.

    Back a few months ago when Chrome had first came out, my home router would reset its 802.11g interface if people attempted to use Facebook in Chrome.

    There were no issues with other web browsers on Facebook, and no issues with other websites in Chrome (none that I found at least). I Wireshark'd a couple of such sessions for my own curiosity but never managed to figure out what was causing it.

    This happened with two different computers on my network.

    It is because people that use facebook in cyber cafes usually are retards who wind up downloading / installing crap like XP Antivirus 2009 which makes everything screwed up for everyone else who uses the pc.
