Default The joys of shared PCs

Well I'm at work and my PC is shared between 4 shifts.

I've been getting buffer overrun errors all day so far so after lunch I decided I'm gonna sort it once and for all.

Here's the result of an Adaware scan:


I highly recommend that if you share a PC regularly check what the *******s you share it with are doing. This is "supposedly" a work pc that is used by IT professionals. Just imagine what your home PC shared by family is like.

Remember they could be cookies for TheMilkman to steal

besides they're tracking cookies which are spyware used to see what sites you visit. Not regular cookies which just use keep you logged into sites such as the QJ ones that TMM was stealing.

They do it a lot.

I just had to uninstall IE7 cos it ****ing sucks and isn't compatible with some of our monitoring tools. So back on IE6. I dunno why they upgraded it in the first place. Firefox is already on here.

is that why your mood is 'pissed off'?
I would have thought that the people at your work would be able to stay away from bad sites

Nah it's always pissed off even when I'm

I spent ages making the F1 icons the right size and still looking semi decent so I'm damn well gonna use the Mclaren one. So I'm pissed off that I have to set a mood to do it (cos for some reason sports icons are linked to moods).
