Geek Humor -NOT!

rockford

A little humor is needed now and then.  Yes, Geeks can have a sense of humor, most of the time though it's a little deep for non-geek speakers.  Things like, "There's no place like 127.0.0.1" or "There are 10 types of people in the world: those who understand binary, and those who don't". 

I thought something a little lighter would be nice.  Have fun!

YOU KNOW YOU ARE A TRUE Nebraskan WHEN:

1. "Vacation" means going east or west on I-80 for the weekend.

2. You measure distance in hours.

3. You know several people who have hit a deer more than once.

4. You often switch from "heat" to "A/C" in the same day and back again.

5. You can drive 65 mph through 2 feet of snow during raging blizzard, without flinching.

6. You see people wearing camouflage at social events (including weddings).

7. You install security lights on your house and garage and leave both unlocked.

8. You carry jumper cables in your car and your girlfriend (or wife) knows how to use them.

9. You design your kid's Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit.

10. Driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow.

11. You know all 5 seasons: almost winter, winter, still winter, hot, & DAM HOT!

12. Your idea of creative landscaping is a statue of a deer next to your blue spruce.

13. You were unaware that there is a legal drinking age.

14. Down South to you means Kansas.

15. A brat is something you eat.

16. Your neighbor throws a party to celebrate his new pole shed.

17. You go out to a tail gate party every Friday.

18. Your 4th of July picnic was moved indoors because your fireworks melted.

19. You have more miles on your snow blower than your car.

20. You find 0 degrees "a little chilly."

21. You actually understand these jokes, and you forward them to all your Nebraska friends.

Phishing is not your Phriend

rockford You have seen those phake emails trying to get you to submit your login and password for a bank account that you have never heard of.  Those are easy to weed out.  Now that email received from "your" bank might not be the real thing.

There are people out there that just delete those mails.  Think of these mails as evidence of a crime and report them.  One place to do that is at CastleCops Phishing Incident Reporting & Termination (PIRT).  They chase down evidence for Law Enforcement to use.

Paul Laudanski speaks about Phishing and what is done to stop it in the following video.

 

 

Hope that helped you to understand what goes on out there!
