Re: Off Topic 2015

Apparently, the "reason" they did it is because two of their teammates had been ejected earlier.

They should absolutely go to jail. I believe it was Mike Pereira that said the team should also have their season forfeited.

The kids should definitely be kicked off the team permanently, suspended from school and charged. Absolutely no excuse for what they did. However, making the school forfeit the whole season would be unfair to the rest of the team unless that team has a history of poor sportsmanship and other transgressions or it is determined that one or more coaches had a say in the kids actions.

For me,lockers were always assigned based on what class you had 1st everyday. Some were good locations,others sucked cause they were in busy part of school where people just feel the need to sit right infront of lockers for 20 minutes randomly.

I liked ones near side entrances in my school,cause if i get there during announcements, i can sneak to my locker and get everything without teacher or principal forcing me to stop,cause school had stupid "no walking in halls during announcements" rule,so if you got caught,you're basically late now. And by end of day,you could get out so much easier than navigating through hundreds of people all using the same exit doors.

Lockers were assigned alphabetically by grade at my high school so you always knew whose lockers would be right next to yours. Only exception is sometimes people would move to other empty lockers if their initially assigned locker was in broken or in really bad shape as mine was one year.

Re: Off Topic 2015

Only bad thing that happened to mine was that the turn thing got stuck,so i could never turn it and open it. Asked to get it cut,then mysteriously one day it worked enough to open it myself. I've never used a dudley lock since HS and prob wont remember how lol.

Only use key ones now,but even that isnt good since it seems like keys on people with same lock works in yours. Luckiky one day,i forgot my key in the lock and went home,but when i came back next day,nobody went in the locker. That was huge surprise to me.

For those more knowledgeable than me:

When I go to look at any item on eBay - including items in my purchase history - I get a phishing warning. I'm typing in the address and I'm logged into my account. So I'm not sure what's going on.

Did eBay get hacked?

Where does the warning come from? Is your antivirus program giving you the notice or is it from eBay?

I went and checked my recent ebay activity and everything went well

It says it's coming from Google. Somebody posted on Mac Resource, which is what I'm linking. What they're getting is pretty much what I'm getting whenever I try to view an item - whether I'm logged into eBay or not:

That's strange, it's showing that warning when you view any item?

I know this is the most basic advice ever, but have you checked your control panel for recently installed programs? I've never used a Mac... and I'm old... so outside of the add/remove program check and a virus scan, that's pretty much all I have to offer

Re: Off Topic 2015

And now I'm not getting it. Everything seems to be working fine now. Weird.

One of my tech friends says it may have just been an expired certificate. I'm running a disk scan just in case.

It's those peoples own fault for getting an app like that. However, it is scary to think that even on regular apps that hundreds of million of people use, they ask permission to photos,camera and stuff, so if they truly wanted, they could actually get access to absolutely everything.

I took a class a few years back where they were talking about all this security stuff and how one day, something major prob will happen. Like in the terms & conditions in which 99.999999% of people don't read, someone is gonna write something in there which basically has them owning you. Or app creators might actually use some of the things they ask permission for, more often.

Forgot who did it, but someone tested it out at some school one time. They had people sign up for something and in the terms and conditions, by accepting it, you gave up your future kids(or something like that) to them. It was done as a joke/experiment type thing but still...one day I can just see something major happening cause people didn't read terms & conditions, or gave permission to something they didn't think about.

What does your signature mean, Maj?

The geek in me wants to presume it's Access/SQL related.

Normal ransomware is scary stuff. I remember there was some trojan all over Japanese P2P(if people pirated a certain game) that would take a screenshot of your PC and upload it to the devs blog/website to publicly shame you .

Re: Off Topic 2015

Anyone ever feel bad for a bugs? A bee snuck into my apartment today and I squished it with a roll of duct tape (so many uses!) and I noticed he wasn't dead, his little limbs were flailing around and in the half second before I crushed his head I actually felt sorry for him.

Now there's a fly trapped between my window and the screen, I hate flies, but I have this strange urge to free him. What the hell? If I free him he'll just start zooming around the apartment and I'll get annoyed and chase him down with a swatter anyway, but if I leave him trapped he'll suffer til he starves to death!
