Useless Knowledge

[Dal300]

AVAST Anti Virus says it's an acceptable site and my Firefox browser with Adblock Plus doesn't have a problem with it. Nothing has shown up in my Malwarebytes scans or with Kaspersky or Avast.

What browser, antimalware/antivirus are you using?

FYI...when I click on that link I get a warning that it's a risky site.

Sorry about the quality of the pic, but it was with a quick web cam.

Interesting. I didn't find anything at Google or Bing that cast a doubt of the veracity of the site.

While I haven't ever been fond of Mcaffee or Norton's, (now the same company), I will do some more checking.

I don't allow questionable sites in my hosting group or links to them. Usually my server AV will take them out as soon as they are put up, but even that is saying the site is safe.

Is there any chance you can find out why McCrappies says it's unsafe and post it here or PM me with the info?

I couldn't figure out how to do a screen shot, so that's why the image was so bad. From the McAfee check of the site, I get this...

If you're using Windows, ALT+Print Screen will copy the active window to the clipboard. Then you can Paste it into your post.

Yeah Mike, it's you software being

overly protective. Same as Dal300, never liked Mcafee or Norton. Norton use to be a resource hog big time. But that site I posted is clean and neither of the four programs have a problem with that useless website...lol

If you're using Windows, ALT+Print Screen will copy the active window to the clipboard. Then you can Paste it into your post.

When I use alt+print screen, the screen returns to my Firefox home page, with the search bar in the middle. If I could get the screen shot to work, I could show you that image.

That doesn't work. I'm using windows 7. The laptop is a Compac CQ60-615DX Notebook. Firefox for a browser. The "alt" key is next to the space bar. The only "print screen" button appears to be at the top right of the numerical keypad. It's the first of 4 buttons, and on its face is printed at the top of the button "home", and below "home" is printed "prt sc" enclosed in a box.

That's about all the details that I have for ya. Any help would be appreciated.

If your using Firefox you can install an add-on called "Fireshot". That will allow you to take a screen shot by right clicking. You can take just the viewed screen, the whole page or a selected area.

You can save and edit the picture, save it as a JPG, PDF or other.

Thanks...I just installed it. It looks like I can get it to work. I will experiment a bit.

Did you know: A goldfish has a memory span of three seconds?

An American one-dollar bill, there is an owl in the upper left-hand corner of the "1" encased in the "shield" and a spider hidden in the front upper right-hand corner.

A dime has 118 ridges around the edge.

In England, the Speaker of the House is not allowed to speak.

The airplane Buddy Holly died in was the "American Pie" (Thus the name of the Don McLean song). [now THAT was interesting to know. anybody else knew that?]

Sorry, we should apply ourselves more uselessly.

The shape of plant collenchyma cells and the shape of the bubbles in beer foam are the same...they are orthotetrachidecahedrons.

The dime may have 118 ridges but the quarter has 119 ridges. Then again, R-R-R-Ruffflllllleeeeeessssss have ridges!

I'l answer your email later today. It's a bit too hectic here right now.

Well here's another useless bit of related information that might be an urban legend. Sometime in the 1990s, the Indiana legislature tried to pass a law that would limit the value of Pi to two decimal places (3.14).

Not an urban legend but it was in 1897.

Not disputing your fact, but how does anyone really know that? And wouldn't it depend on the particular goldfish about which you speak? Maybe some goldfish have ADD or others don't.

I agree. Some goldfish could have other things on its mind. Or, the onset of alzheimers.
