Clipboard Help+Spell Innovations
There are certainly many freeware, well reviewed, useful and popular clipboard utilities available. .. Clipboard Help+Spell is neverthelss a worthy contender, if not down right winner in the category. It is simply described as a text-based clipboard utility.. there is a lot to play around with and discover, well worth the support and download.

Flame Warriors

necromancer.jpg
After almost hijacking a thread with a funny pic about resurrecting old threads, I happened upon a funny read while looking up the pic:

Some years ago, a minor spat ignited a searing flame war that threatened to consume a once-placid discussion forum.
While the forum burned I amused myself by caricaturing the chief antagonists.
Confounded at seeing themselves thus revealed, the combatants fled the field in disarray.

Over time the roster of online belligerents expanded and eventually congealed into the netizen's guide to Flame Warriors.
My own bad internet behavior would certainly have provided sufficient material to populate an extensive rogue's gallery, but suggestions and comments from astute observers continue to enrich the Flame Warriors collection...

Cyber-Crime Hall-of-Fame

PC-Mag posts their Cyber-Crime Hall-of-Fame.
http://www.pcmag.com...,2817,2329604,00.asp

There are all sorts of crimes, but the ones that probably happen most often and hurt the most are crimes of opportunity—breaking into a house with an open window, nabbing the wallet from a purse left unattended, stealing an unlocked car, etc. Now, for the average Joe, breaking into NASA's infrastructure and bringing online giants like Amazon to a grinding halt would not fall into that category; for someone with in-depth networking and computer know-how, though, it's a different story altogether.

Often the greatest tech crimes in history have little more reason behind them than "because it was there." More often than not, a hacker sees an open window—a hole in system's security, a backdoor, etc.—and climbs on through. And they don't do it for any real worldly gain, but merely to prove that they can. That's not to say that there isn't malicious intent underlying some attacks (take Vladimir Levin's $10.7 million hoax on CitiBank, for example). And we're not saying that all hackers are bad guys, but a few fall prey to the dark side and use their talents for evil—not good.
