So, what about something where you can manage your online history? I mean obviously you cannot remove anything technically, but for most average people it's quite possible to edit/remove old forum posts, accounts, etc.
Honestly I'm sure there's registrations for all sorts of things I haven't used in years across my emails that I'd like to peek at.
(In brainstorming mode.)
@technobabble I watched out of curiosity, totally lost it at Hootie and the blowfish lol.

@MattKing , went to Applebee's tonight in your honor and had the burger I told you about. Delish! No mudslide though. I was a cheap date for myself tonight. I also went because of friend of mine waits tables there, and so I made sure to leave her a nice tip as well.
So, I looked it up and the only one is in northwest Houston, but I'm going to make the trip soon! Good man on the tipping, food service is never easy IMO.
Sometimes the comments are almost as good as people watching.
So just in case you haven't caught this on the internet yet; here's the Rock in the 90's.
Whoof, that's rough; I'm interested to see how this is going to affect business internationally.
Haha my roommate actually made me watch this yesterday. Sheesh that guy kept talking forever!

Haha very true note on the chef note! Actually i haven't, but I see a happy hour in the near future so i'll push for Applebee's.
Their mudslide is their Pièce de résistance
I'm pretty excited about the burger and mudslide in my future.
Matt, you should drive up to Dallas and we'll go out together.
I can't turn down Mudslides!

The next scary thing - a worm that manages to walk the likes of Google's servers looking at data.
Depending on what data, that could be very scary.

I heard they dropped it and are developing an android version (i.e. not just cell phones).
I'm not sure that would be worth it. Other than photos, and assuming that your infected Android can't translate to an infected office, is there anything on your Android (IOS) device that's so important that you'd pay a ransom for because it's not backed up some place else?
For example, most Android users sync their contacts/calendars with their gmail account. IOS users with iCloud. So beyond photos, do you carry important data that's not on... say the corporate network through something like dropbox (or a more secure version), etc?
I completely agree, but to think from a normal consumers standpoint it could pay off for them. I did part time at RadioShack a few years ago and you would be surprised at how many people don't use any of those features. If it happened to me I would just wipe my device, same for my home workstation, but most people would panic i think.

@Dashrender i heard/read that there is a new variant of this that uses different protocols and was changed from a peer to peer to ??(cannot remember right now what connection is being used) to cover their tracks.

@scottalanmiller Interesting, maybe it will be one of those things that catches on; I could use some better organization tailored to my needs.

That guy looks familiar. 
EDIT: The ticket system is a really good one and can help me check on my progress, I like that a lot. I'm not sure I'd get much use out of a wiki but the process would be work checking out for sure! Thanks @scottalanmiller
Alright, so I'm not great with GUI honestly; it takes me a long time to find the right windows. I prefer to lounge around the command line. Anyways, I'm more at the hobby level right now, but want to hone my skills and really start branching out of my comfort zone. I have a few VPS hosting websites and such, but really want to get in deeper.
Other than trying to take on bigger/technical projects in my off hours (I mean really, nobody needs help after 5pm), is there any kind of work I can do in VM's and such to gain semi-real-world experience beyond basic one-trick-pony LAMP servers?

Not sure of that reference. But really free. Zero licensing for low power, small size tablets!
Oh the joke was about those "free" McAffe programs that provide a low level scan and then just spam with "upgrade" and such.

I saw this, and thought "Oh GAWD, NOT THE LIQUID NITROGEN GUYS AGAIN!"

Actually, have you seen mineral oil cooling? Not the best for spinning drives but very cool nonetheless. (pun intended)
@scottalanmiller said:
Really interesting that Windows is now free on some platform.
McAffe-free or free-free?
This is actually really neat. I would think the copycats that have the infrastructure to support this are busy making money in other ways, and wouldn't risk trying to revamp it.
@Carnival-Boy I think it's mostly because they're like those online degree-farms for programming/coding.
