My interweb program keeps telling me it can't find DNS. I don't want DNS, I want Hotmail. What the hell?

HKC, that'd be a pretty dardy cup if they managed to print the text to appear straight on a curved cup.

Not too hard but also not too likely to be done the way it would have to be, to look like that.

I don't think I'd be able to simultaneously explain that concept to a painter whilst appearing sober and of sound mind.







Much better

Faith, can you help me print/upload/download/copy/install/delete/edit my memory card/desktop/emails/internet/photos/cookies/resume? For free right now? Thx

last time i was there i ran a malwarebytes scan and followed up with a hijack this scan



i found a trojan, found out it was obtained by a stupid 3rd installed toolbar bullshit thingy for facebook, i showed the EXACT path of who downloaded it and showed them why it was bad to download those



inlaw says "that's definitely not a virus because you gotta pay money to get rid of viruses, last time we got a virus, a pop up came up and said we had to buy and download this antivirus in order to get rid of it. Leave that toolbar alone I use it all the time"



dont get me wrong, im not the absolute greatest tech saavy person on earth but i can fix most issues i ever have with my computer myself although admittedly I am NO WHERE NEAR the level of say DTN, but i think i should send them a email saying im a nigerian prince and they won the lottery







thats the future of the united states of america folks
