This is part of a conversation with my mother, who I must add is rather conservative woman.


My Mother: I need you to come over tomorrow and fix my computer?

Me: What did you do to it?

My Mother: Nothing! But its running really slow, and when I try to log in *lesbian porn* comes up.

*whispered*

"Set as wallpaper" can be a dangerous thing.

Isn't that why most people get their computers?

Twitch.

I once received a call from a very scandalized (and very conservative) manager, because one of his employees had a lovely bit of porn on his computer set as the wallpaper and neither of them could get it to go away.... It came up before the desktop loaded so there was a great money shot for a splash before it finishing coming up.

I had to save an existing file in another form, then set it as the wallpaper.

Heh.

One place where I used to work had a rather nasty way of teaching you to lock your machine (we were all using windows 2000 on a domain), by loading your browser, you home page, and possibly your wall paper with pr0n of some form. The grosser, the better.

People learned real quick... and we still played practical jokes on people. (I remember being asked to make an ethernet loopback plug, which has no function in real life, as a prank t pull on on of my co-workers...)

I think there's actually a KB article on that. I kind of like it myself, but I'm a glutton for punishment and like my craptive desktop.

Lesbian porn? Or just any porn in general?
