And this person too?
I’ve heard that law school lectures can be awfully boring, but…really? :dubious:
He was about a month from retirement after decades of service so I’m sure they just let it go. It sure left me with mixed feelings at his retirement party.
I’ll also add, we work for the government as a union. Even if action is/was initiated it wouldn’t take effect until an extensive investigation. Maybe something did or will happen, I’m sure I’ll never know.
I sat down at our family computer to compose an email. I thought I had cut something to paste but when I pasted, it was my daughter’s private blog entry about how she and her cousin shoplifted at the mall. There was hell to pay that night. I don’t think my daughter, in the past 14 years, has ever once given me a bit of trouble since that night. My niece, unfortunately, ended up not learning her lesson until the police caught her a few months later.
This is second hand, but… I used to have a co-worker who left the video game industry (where I work) to join, of all things, the FBI.
So one day he was in a big auditorium-style classroom at the FBI academy, and this was during the Clinton/Lewinsky scandal, so while bored in class, he decided to check on what was going on. He intended to go to www.whitehouse.gov, the official white house website. But he typed in www.whitehouse.com by mistake. Which is a hardcore porn site. With his laptop fully visible to anyone sitting behind him.
Had to do forensics on a (government) computer an officer had been wrongfully using to trawl pornography. Some really out there stuff. Not neccessarily harmful, but wierd. Some things, you just don’t want to know that they exist. :eek:
I manage the website for my workplace. We have programs we offer in partnership with other departments in our organization, and of course there are links on our site that go to the specific program pages of those other departments.
One day I got an email from someone interested in one of these dual programs, saying only that there was ‘inappropriate content’ at one of the links there. Someone had hacked a partner’s site and changed a few things… turns one of the links on their page led to bestiality porn. Oops. Thankfully it was resolved within the hour.
Absolutely! It was a tough sell because it was a family-owned business and the jerk in question was the owner’s brother-in-law. But thankfully wisdom prevailed and he was let go. Unfortunately he wasn’t given a swift kick in the a** on the way out the door.
Story please?
The worst thing I ever saw on my laptop was a rum and coke spilled on the keyboard.
I still haven’t gotten over it.
Not accidental, but certainly unexpected.
I work in a 9-1-1 center and continuing education is required to maintain certifications. Some of the training updates include highly graphic photos of traumatic injuries, suicides, and the like.
We do not need to see the gory details to understand the issues. Uncontrolled vehicle accelerations were a thing for a while so a training update was rolled out. I did not need to see graphic photos of a crash victim to understand the potential seriousness of the matter.
-I saw an article on Snopes about “crush videos”. It showed pictures of some Chinese chick in stilettos stomping a kitten to death.
-One Guy, One Jar. Most shock sites don’t bother me, but this one was a little too much.
Back in the day, when you booted your Win95 computer you got a ‘splash’ screen of the Win95 logo for 20-30 seconds while the OS booted. My boss was a real d-bag…& totally computer illiterate, which was really tough because I managed a computer system. :dubious:
I changed the Win95 splash screen to something mildly pornographic; however, because the computer was still booting, you can’t just Alt-Tab to another program like you could if you were playing solitaire. (Those PCs had games on them & email, but no internet browser access.)
It’s probably so that when you see a similar scene in person, you remain calm and useful and still able to perform useful work when a similar scenario happens in real life or something. I heard that there was a line of specialized police work that required recruits to listen to some audio clips of some standard civilians being tortured or murdered or something.
She was, like, SOOOOOOOOO busted! 
I heard about some parents who took their teenage daughter’s computer in for service, because it had been infected with a virus they couldn’t get rid of. The technician cleared the virus, and discovered gigabytes of gay male porn on that computer. :eek: He simply told the parents, when they came to pick it up, that they should keep a closer eye on their daughter’s Web searches.
Cyberzine?
Financial information. In one case, financial information which was illegal for me to know, but also illegal by itself: the company in question was in breach of at least three laws I know of, and I’m not even a lawyer.
The worst thing I have ever seen is the comments section of any Breitbart “news” article. It really provided an ugly insight to Trump’s supporters.
Oh my…don’t know if this count as worst but definitely weird; I was in school during 2012 taking an exam in a German room. There was a poster of famous German figures, obviously assumed because there was Einstein there but didn’t know any others nevertheless. I saw a picture of who I now know to be the musician, Joseph Haydn.
Anyway fast forward to 2013 and being the weird kid that I was and still am today, I was searching up sexual kinks and fetishes online. I type in poop fetish in Wikipedia and…wouldn’t you believe it. It redirects to ‘Joseph Hadyn’. I thought it was a mistake on my part but 4 weeks later, it still redirected whenever I typed in poop fetish and again until I forgot about it then typed in a year later and it was gone.
Asked a question on city-data but never got any explanation.
