GALLUP VIRUS: Sixty percent of the PC's infected will lose 30 percent of their data 14 percent of the time (plus or minus a 3.5 percent margin of error).

TEXAS VIRUS: Makes sure that it's bigger than any other file.

ADAM AND EVE VIRUS: Takes a couple bytes out of your Apple.

Militia Virus: wipes out your operating system claiming it has no right to control your PC.

Pro-Choice Virus: Although it presents the standard "Abort, Retry, Fail" prompt, it pressures you to choose "Abort", telling you the process being terminated is just "a blob of bits" which has no value.

BIG BAD WOLF: That's true. Sometimes they don't know about something and wouldn't have tried it had they not known! Catch22

Rose: :) My biggest concern is for my students. I worry about them when they move on to middle school and beyond. It's kinda like the kids moving out of the house. It's good to know these things and I intend to let every teacher in my district know about this. Parents too!

Summertop: The warning itself wasn't. Ive seen it many places when I checked out the story and there is no copyright at all.

Foxy Lady: Yeah, don't mind Pedro. Besides, there's a moderator here and he's not one of them. :) And besides, it was an interesting article and was probably fitting here. The basic letter was not copyrighted either and I doubt any laws were violated anyway. I say thanks for posting. ;)

Who are the experts here :)

Tweaked with the Adobe Gamma controls and can make it even too bright now. :) How come I never noticed that before? thanks

sounds like an easy question when I think of it but I need to know if there are any ways to brighten up my monitor (other than the monitor controls on the front themselves).

I just used my daughters pc and everypicture was clearer (brighter) and I'm not sure why mine images are so much darker( for example, on heres all the details show..on mine they are in a shadow)

? help ;)
