If you got a warning screen telling you of the infection and you clicked through anyway, please use your anti-virus software to scan your computer’s hard drive. An online …

Personally, I don’t think I would have chosen April 20, the 121st anniversary of Hitler’s birthday, as the day I forced YouTube to take down the parody videos made using the bunker scene from the Academy Award-nominated 2004 German film, “Downfall,” about Hitler’s last days. But that’s just me. Constantin Films made copyright claims to YouTube …
I just received an e-mail from the Maryland Senate Republican Slate with news that was so outrageous in terms of dictatorial nanny-statism that I thought it was a joke. And, thank God, it is — although obviously the author of the e-mail was taken in! I love dead-pan humor and fake news stories, especially as …

Recently, however, having fallen under the corrupting influence of Moe Lane, who loves computer games, I have started to play the Zen version of “Bejeweled Twist,” …
One of the consequences of Obamacare becoming law is that its means-tested benefits will destroy marriage for the middle class the same way that the Great Society welfare state destroyed the black family with financial incentives for staying single. This information was tucked away in a piece in the New York Times on March 24, …
I was trying to modify my theme on Saturday to add custom pages and installed and uninstalled a few plug-ins and since then various past posts will not load properly in Firefox.
