News crew arrested on air in while covering riots

luxintenebris jokingly says...

BK: a man of few words. but by choice?

the 'cro-maga man' gag is getting old. even the infeasible and feeble 'cops...governor' line is a yawn. and 'panties in a wad'?! haven't heard that used since emmitt's still done blew up.

come on Bobbie, cull the acorns out of the act. boooo...!

Yet again Newt panties in a wad.

Trump wasn't arresting any one.

Just cops doing cop work of the Democrat Governor.

5 of the Worst Computer Viruses Ever

Sekrin says...

Takes me back to the first time I had to deal with a virus infection... not on my machine, thankfully, but much every Acorn machine (and every floppy disk) in my secondary school was infected with the "ICON" virus. Didn't do any harm (besides taking up space), but it was really annoying to get rid of as it would re-infect stuff almost as quickly as you were cleaning them.

The ironic thing was that it took me months to rid of that pest and then a week later I got a computer mag with a free anti-virus on the cover disk that would disinfect a computer in minutes instead of hours....

5 of the Worst Computer Viruses Ever

This sounds very familiar both by name and action. I'm sure I had it or something very similar once, but I had Windows (whatever version) on CD. In the end, I think I just reinstalled windows from CD (which at the time couldn't be written to even if I'd wanted) which overwrote the old infected MBR.

Having it on CD doesn't even given me a decent time frame on the version or virus, because my dad was either building computers or modding and playing with them since Acorn. I used to put annoying 7+ disk stuff like the Indiana Jones and Monkey Island games onto CD as backup, so it's reasonable to think we might have done it with Windows.

Maybe that was many years later and a different virus, but when I read "form.a" I shuddered involuntarily.

I suppose it is hard for any pre-internet virus to compare in terms of damage to these 5, but one that stands out in my mind:

Form (circa 1990 or so), and its variants like Form.A would infect the boot sector of your hard drive, and from there could infect any floppy disk that you used on the computer. Most PCs at the time would try to boot from a floppy disk left in the drive, which would spread the infection.

I guess that many variants didn't really do much of anything particularly bad, but I got Form.A one time and it nuked the Master Boot Record (like virus #5 in the video) of my PC. Since DOS / Windows (3.1 at the time I think) wouldn't boot, I (mistakenly) assumed that it had formatted my hard drive, and then lost all of my data by reformatting.

I remember a span of about a year where any 3.5 inch floppy disk being passed around offices or schools in my home town had a roughly 80% chance of being infected with Form.A. So that seems like a pretty impressive infection and spread rate, without advantage of being able to spread through the internet!

Obamacre Navigators Exposed Coaching Applicants to Lie

chingalera says...

I wish you could, too.
The reason you don't see down-votes around here scud in my estimation is that historically on this site, balls don't drop until there's something passionate to hide behind while three or more distracted members of the same camp wail like mourners at a funeral in Istanbul. The whole while missing forests for toothpick sculptures of famous landmarks.

He got an NPR exec fired and made ACORN eat their own shit. Good guy. So he takes license with and spins stories the way his particular illusions play-out. SO does every editorializing clueless monkey in journalism.

As I say with any news or any opinion of current world affairs. Half the facts means you know dick.

Bob once again demonstrates either utter stupidity, or endorses the lies o'keefe perpetuates.

It was demonstrated quite conclusively that o'keefe fabricated the entire ACORN video. I know you guys like to make unfounded accusations of Obama lying, but no really bob, O'keefe lied through his teeth. This *is* what real lying looks like.

From wikipedia:

"The Brooklyn District Attorney Charles Hynes cleared ACORN employees in the local office of criminal wrongdoing on March 1, 2010, after a five-month investigation. A law enforcement source said, "They edited the tape to meet their agenda", the Daily News quoted.[142] The ACORN lawyer Arthur Schwartz commented that ACORN was "gratified that the DA has concluded something we knew all along". He said that O'Keefe and Giles had "used subterfuge to convince Congress and the media to vilify an organization that didn't deserve it".[142]"

Either you simply don't know this, or you do and you're looking the other way.

neither would surprise us, I believe.

Really? We trust the guy who blatantly lied, misled, and took several "liberties" with his ACORN "scandal" that completely closed them down to "expose" anything else remotely truthful?

For those who don't already know project "Veritas", it's the same fine people behind the ACORN tapes, the Shirley Sherrod tape, etc.

It's the whole Andrew Breitbart / James O'Keefe smear project.

High Tech Lynching? Just Say No

dystopianfuturetoday says...

Really? After 4 years of Tea Party racism about "Obama the Kenyan", Obama's birth certificate, Obama's radical black minister Wright, Obama the secret Muslim, Obama the terrorist, attacks on Acorn, Shirley Sherrod, the southern strategy and the popularity of unrepentant right wing bigots like James O'Keefe and Andrew Breitbart?.

Not to mention the weird irony that this commercial against 'racism' only targets other black people.
