Do the hassle From Emsbabee ^Pro in Careless in the community (1 day old)

Strangeness on eBay From The_Walrus ^Pro in The Walrus (1 day old)

Beware of this one! From The_Walrus ^Pro in The Walrus (3 days old)

This scam looks quite realistic, and could potentially be VERY nasty indeed. The clickable link goes to somewhere in Russia, that will attempt to run a PHP program on your computer. Avoid!… more

How to make an entrance From Emsbabee ^Pro in Careless in the community (6 days old)

I'm sure most of us have indulged in a brief fantasy about our own funeral. It'd be nice to know how it went down. Would there be scenes at the church reminiscent of the first day of the January sales… more

The fuss about tags. From The_Walrus ^Pro in The Walrus (6 days old)

I'm a bit baffled, I must confess, at the fury that has broken out here. On occasion, I have pointed out to people that they have forgotten to separate their tags with commas, resulting in a huge tag … more

Mad eyes, part 94. From The_Walrus ^Pro in The Walrus (9 days old)

Government sacks scientist for telling the truth. From The_Walrus ^Pro in The Walrus (12 days old)

Remind me, why should I obey the law? From The_Walrus ^Pro in The Walrus (12 days old)

After all, our government ignores it, time after time, quite blatantly. Take for example the Phorm scandal, where BT spied on its customers. The government was told quite clearly to make BT stop doing… more
