Which Family Guy Character Are You? |
|
 |
You are part Peter. You are fat and dumb. You probably spend a lot of time watching TV and drinking, but that isn’t a bad thing. |
 |
You are part Brian. You are smart, sophisticated, and somewhat of an alcoholic. |

Hi everyone i’m a mom of a daughter who is graduating from high school. I want to know which college is best for my daughter, which is the safest city in the United States where my daughter can concentrate with her studies all through four years of college life without ever getting promiscuous and pregnant.
Unsurprisingly, there are no replies to the above forum posting.

This one’s for Garret, LOL.
Amazing photo. Beats the crap out of anything produced by a digital camera, as far as I have seen anyways. Just look at that gorgeous colour, contrast range, etc. Film from 1942, scanned in and made available on Shorpy.
August 1942. “Feeding an SNC advanced training plane its essential supply of gasoline is done by sailor mechanics at the Naval Air Base, Corpus Christi, Texas.”

Looks like there’s a nifty new piece of software out there for Microsoft Windows. A man-in-the-middle attack on banking sites. Let your machine become infected with this trojan and kiss all your money in your bank account good bye.
Run bleeting into the darkness, updating your antivirus, antispam, antimalware, anti-thinking, slow-the-machine-down software from such bright sparks as Symantec.
Do it now to protect yourself.
Quickly.
Or, you could run something other than that festering virus laden cesspit known as Microsoft Windows.
Buy a Mac. [1]
Turn off javascript etc when visiting bank sites. Grow a brain.
The Linux-oids in the crowd can keep their yaps shut. We know they’re (reasonably) safe also. This message is for those of you still on the teetering house of cards that Jack Bill built.

[1] There _are_ some viruses, trojan horses, and phishing attacks directed at Mac OS X users but thus far they are mostly proof of concepts and generally not a clear and present threat to the level that plagues Microsoft Windows.
What’s not in question is that the volume of Mac OS X-specific malware is orders of magnitude less than that affecting Windows boxes. Sophos, for example, list 30 Mac OS X malware strains compared to 330,000 Windows pathogens. The US military recently said it was using more Mac systems because they were less commonly attacked.
