I wish KTHopkins[^] would shut up and site down. Having watched some of her telly time on YouTube she is a poor excuse for a person/mother.
She is really getting slated on her Twitter feed following her inappropriate comments about the Scots on the morning of the HeliCrash. There is even a petition going(~75,000 sigs) to get her off the telly.
Watching here tfeed is quite amusing. (for others comments, not hers I must add).

I haven't watched it or heard about her comments but nothing could be worse than that slag Kay Burley who pollutes the space she occupies on Sky.
If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.

And there is the problem of course: you have two groups who both habitually tell the "truth" that makes them look best - i.e. lie through their teeth - each saying diametrically opposed things. We will probably never know what really happened, but since I suspect the orders from on high are to "get rid of this before the election because it makes us look like elitist morons" Mitchell's best bet would have been to STElephantU and wait for it to blow over. Now, it'll be "news" for another year or so given how fast the courts move...

If somebody played that 'prank' on me the next several hours would be spent doing a complete re-install.

I have learnt to do a full b/up of the girls' machines at least every week and never allow them near mine.

Electrified keyboard, dead mouse with buttons, that sort of thing!

That might work with your cats, but my daughters have brains.

Total Lock Down
There are accounts for Mrs Wife and I; both passworded. I am set up as admin on ALL the machines and installs etc are disabled for their accounts.

Same here.
However:
- the 8 years old tries to guess my password every time I'm typing it.
- The 4 years old sometimes switches OFF the power, sometimes makes the keyboard go out of order (don't ask my how, I simply don't know).
So I believe that Griff's approach is the only effective.

"What Turing gave us for the first time (and without Turing you just couldn't do any of this) is he gave us a way of thinking about and taking seriously and thinking in a disciplined way about phenomena that have, as I like to say, trillions of moving parts.
Until the late 20th century, nobody knew how to take seriously a machine with a trillion moving parts. It's just mind-boggling." Daniel C. Dennett

I know where I'd insert it, if I found it on one of my machines -- and I'd use a broom handle, to make sure it was inserted correctly.

Why bother?
Best ever was the RBG [Random Beep Generator] installed as a service it would generate a beep at intervals between 30 seconds and four hours. We had such fun putting that on the boss's machine.

There was an app for that? I wrote one in VB!
|

|

I confess to doing one in VB, but earlier than that as a TSR process in C under DOS which was loaded by autoexec.bat.

When I was being taught about TSR at uni doing that was one of the assignments!
