I'm getting really pissed off right now, because every search engine link I click besides wikipedia for last two days or so on my home computer takes me to a website that has nothing to do with what I'm searching or is a freaking search engine inside of a link that should be legit. I'm getting aggrivated, because I really want to look some stuff up but can't.

Look up google redirect virus. And prepare to spend the next 6 hours trying to eliminate it.

Damnit. I'll have to get my Norton fixed. Go a freaking month without it, get a damned virus.

Why is it so difficult to create nuclear weapons? Isn't it convenient that something so dangerous also happens to be so difficult for terrorists and dictatorships to create? It seems like technology has advanced so much, with today's cellphones being more powerful than military supercomputers of the 1960s, yet these ill-meaning criminals are unable to duplicate something that we were able to make in the 1940s?

One of the biggest problems is actually getting your hands on Uranium. It's in the interests of the world's most powerful people that Uranium doesn't end up just anywhere. Besides that, nuclear fission is a somewhat delicate process. Even marginal failure with it will get you an onsite nuclear explosion, which is likely counterproductive to your plans (whatever they are). Really, nukes are such a hassle that in many cases just spending a fifth of the money and effort on a couple crates of AK-47's will probably make more sense for your operations.

Those ads that say you've won don't actually give you anything and you haven't won anything. Also, stop with the pronz.

Sorting out enough uranium with the right number of nucleons is also problematic.

Get MalwareBytes. The redirect may still be there after you remove the virus, but that's easy to be taken care of depending on which browser you're using.

Ryan, I'm not clicking adds. My pronz is none of your business.

Anyone have any suggested sites for youtube rips? I'm just looking for one that will keep a good quality, and that if it is a HD rip it stays that way.

I'm also interested in what format DVD videos are stored in. I want to make one using the episodes I pull from youtube...

But at the same time, I wish I didn't get the joke.

All this nuke talk...

In high school there was a substitute science/math teacher that we found out loved to talk about nukes. Every time we had him as a sub we'd ask about them and then he'd proceed to spend the entire class talking about how they work and drawing diagrams on the board.

We had a sub who brought in a giant puppet of a T-Rex skeleton every time he taught. He called himself "Mr Bones" and was a complete badass.
