Hos did a rant on google become a smorgasbord of double entendres?

Yeah, we get those moble/cell phone sex ads all the time here, usually after 11.00pm... but that's as close a I get to 'em... the ads.  For one, I don't own a mobile phone.. and two, I got much better things to spend my money on. 

Just like how "Joe User + Joke User" got pirated. 

You get a few like-minded lunatics to take the thread of topic.

Ring any bells???

ASSHOLE

^ That kind of personal attack irks me a good deal, Infidel. Would you mind rephrasing that in more acceptable language before a Mod ambles along and takes you to task?

Thanks, awfully.

Arrgg matey!  That was a fun voyage while it lasted.

I think he was just announcing his new name.  And I doubt he will rephrase it as it seems to fit him well.

Aye, that it wur!   'Tis sad, tho, that most of our shipmates 'ave moved on.  I sees that thar seldomsee'd about now n' then... but I fink 'e's sufferin' amneshia cos 'e fergits tha ho-ho-ho n' a bottle o' rum.

Come ta think of it, 'ave 'e sobered up yet frum that thar last cask o' rum???

It's a bit like the cartoon dogs, innit... running along at full pelt and have to come to a immediate stop... next thing they're wearing their asshole for a collar.

I'm just like you guys. Don't care to use any toolbars and I get rid of them while fixing other people's PCs. They can become quite annoying.

I was fixing a friend's PC a few days ago and removed 11 toolbars from IE.  6 were active and 5 were hidden/inactive, but I did suggest to her it may have been the reason she couldn't surf the net without constantly being redirected to sites she'd never even heard of.

I ended up doing a complete reinstall of XP to resolve the multitude of issues this machine had... with her daughter going to various music download sites, and her son-in-law into the porn, it was highly infested and it would have taken nigh on for ever to clean it all up.   The other thing I did was make the PC password protected, so only she could use it... being she complained that she kept finding inappropriate material in her download folder. 

Since the voyage ended, I 'ave been high and dry! On both the land and the rum!  Me first mate says I drank enough to last me the rest o' my life.

You do come up with some of the best analogies.

And now that I know it fixes half the problem, that will be my first step in working on a computer!  Friend or client!

I have "sneekily" set up the user accounts as regular users and not given out the admin password on some of mine.  Then when they complain about some add-in they need, I quickly add it.  It lasts a while before they wise up and demand the admin password - and proceed to trash the computer.  But at least that is a couple of months rest between computer over hauls.

I tries ter keep ev'ryone 'appy wiv me lil anecdotes.... arrrr. 

With Shirley's PC I left her account as administrator so that she's not constantly coming back to get permissions for things.  For example, Microsoft Update and some software updates require an active-X plugin, so I left her account as administrator so that she could authorise such actions. However, I told her about the toolbars and advised her ( free or not) not to install any whatsoever because they can screw up her browser/surfing experience.  I don't envisage any major problems now, though, her daughter and son-in-law have now got their own place and have bought a basic rig for themselves... I can see me fixing that one sometime soon, however.
