Have any of you had to deal with that "recapthcha" program? It's when you're signing up for something, and you have to go thru all these annoying pictures of cars ect before you can actually get into you're account?
I tried that for days with twitter, and I finally gave up. Me, a 7 year college veteran with a degree, reduced to a steaming pile of profanity laden gibberish, all over a PC program, (grrrr!)

Theres quite a few stupid websites that do that, the whole internet thing sucks, yes it has good sides, (forums, purchasing goods etc), but look at the down sides, no one has to rob a bank anymore, they just break into your accounts on line from somewhere else on the far side of the Earth, they take the cash then you have to do the footwork to get it back, perverts havens, tax dodgers, scum of the Earth nicking your identity. Does a month go by where some stupid company or council or other place has "accidentally" given out thousands of peoples identity's which are meant o be data protected? A supermarket chain here this week did this but gave out all there employees details, cretins!!! Even the English guy who invented the www said on TV if he knew how it would have been used like it is he would never had done it. Although i am sure someone would have sooner or later. And another thing,,,, It's a social curse, a generation of retards who stay in there bedrooms and up all night, even adults with no lives letting us know there every move of the day and letting everyone know, My Son/Daughter is my best friend. Oh dear, NO! they are your Son or your Daughter, no one who is a stranger to you gives a S*** nor wishes to know you just had a coffee in Costa and it was delicious or you took your doggy for a walk along the sea front. For Gods sake get a life,

Half of the problem today is this need to "upgrade". Microsoft and apple are two of the biggest rip off merchants ever with just about everyone and every business being held to ransom, i have seen the company i work for having to upgrade to Windows 10 as Microsoft have decided they wont support 7 anymore. The sums involved are ridiculous. The winner every time is MS.
go back 30/40 years and your outgoings did not include, Mobile phone monthly bills, upgrade to a different phone every few years, (i dont ) internet monthly rental,(especially where kids play on-line) cable/satellite monthly bill, 400 pound games consoles that need to be replaced every few years with another upgrade to play the latest nonsense, upgrading to the latest DVD-Blu Ray/ 4K then whatever comes next, Having to upgrade the TV to keep up with the jones's
No wonder youngsters find it impossible to get there own homes. And if Microsoft get there own way after a few years of Windows 10, you will no longer by your operating system, MS want everyone to pay for having it monthly. They claim the advantage is all upgrades are free and it always be kept up to date. Yeah right
And here we all are with our 40 year old + projectors still showing the standard Super 8 films around the world.
Me other rant done
