2282.2: Strange Love

Re: previous bit about still being a childless woman, there was a bit in the Post [too lazy to look up the one sentence] talking about how children are a labour of love, and women who choose not to have children prolly don't like the labour portion.

True.

I know at least some of you detest playing in multiplayer online games [like... Neopets] because the n00b factor is too retarded. I admit I don't like dealing with beginners, which is part of my fears about actually raising a child, but I do on occasion drop by the message boards and troll. My post count over my entire NP habit [including the frozen accounts] numbers well into the tens, I think, but there actually is some wisdom in following even the user-generated headlines.

There's an interesting problem going around, wherein XYZ user gives out "awards" to various people, and the recipients of said award hotlinks the award graphic in his/her lookup or wherever, XYZ can then maliciously go back and change the hotlinked image to something really naughty :p which could then get the person who linked to it in big trouble [frozen, if heinous enough].

Moral: HOTLINKING IS BAD XB Always save the damn image and host it yourself... then link the image to the host's website or whatever. Hotlinking an image over which you have no direct control is asking for mischief, or at the very least inconvenience should the original hosting fail.

Chars, I set up the appointment for the guy to come out tomorrow morning. Turns out you can do it from comcastsupport.com :p as long as you have at least the account number [on the latest bill in my To Do thing].
