  Alan Baker from British Columbia, Canada hacked my network

So obsessed with me he flew to FL, parked near my ocean front home and
comprimised my network. I leave my WiFi open so others can use it if need be
(Good Samaritan that I am) I just lock down my computers. Alan Baker from
BC, Canada has been posting as Giuseppe Franco. Obviously a name he got from
a product he uses to stop his receding hair line! Will this weirdo stop at
nothing? Will his obsession never end? He is completely consumed by my
life! He is dangerous! Yesterday he threatened to harass my entire family
after denying doing this before! Hmmmmm SEEK HELP!

  All that's left of "Pedo" Graves and "Molestor" Baker...

The only thing these two old criminals have left to look forward to is
helping to bankrupt the government entitlement programs and eating prunes to
stay regular. They don't have much time left and want to spend most of it
arguing with me, researching every facet of my life, and living vicariously
through me. Give it up old men, Alan already broke his hip skiing.

Scientists at UCL (University College London) have found the
link between what we expect to see, and what our brain tells
us we actually saw. The study reveals that the context
surrounding what we see is all important -- sometimes
overriding the evidence gathered by our eyes and even causing
us to imagine things which aren't really there.

A while back there was a debate over how someone could mistakenly believe
the caps lock symbol when you are logging into was OS X was, as it was
described, an "exclamation point". I made a page to show how this could
happen: <http://prescottcomputerguy.org/tmp/geo_shape/> and offered a pretty

  Leopard Wins PC Magazine's OS War 2008

PC Magazine's March issue pitted Mac OS X 10.5.1 against
Windows XP, Vista, and Ubuntu Linux 7.10 in every imaginable
category, price, installation, interface, security and more.
Leopard won four of the eight categories and was the overall
winner.

Leopard won the installation, interface, bundled software and
security categories. Ubuntu Linux won on price. Windows XP
won the third party software, drivers, and networking
categories. Vista didn't win in any of the categories.

PC Magazine concluded: "Mac OS X 10.5.1 is the product to
pick for our mythical average user who wants something
secure, easy to install, and easy to master. That you can run
Windows and Ubuntu on today's Intel-based Macs -- enabling
you to use all these OSs on the same PC -- is just gravy."

In the final tally, Leopard received a 4 out of 5 rating, XP
SP2 3.5, Ubuntu 3.5 and Vista 3 out of 5.
