| Sometimes malware will hide under the name svchost.exe (normally several of these run at a time anyway). It could be legitimate (though annoying).

| I had a windows 98 computer during college in 2004/2005 that badly needed a reformat. It crashed about every 15 minutes, and usually when I was writing an essay and hadn't saved for a few minutes. Very inconvenient, I tried to use computer labs when possible. My current PC has a glitch with it's vid... |

I've always had a bowl cut essentially, but in my teens I started doing my own hair and I just use a pair of clippers on the highest length and give myself ... |

One of my close friends is a guard at a jail and said a person was arrested with some sort of lung infection that is very contagious and he died within 4 hours of being at the jail and all of the guards and inmates exposed to him had to be tested for it.

| I know how you feel, I once attended a class by one of my favorite origami authors, who is also a retired laser physicist and made a gaffe that I regret. I stated that my origami dragonfly had a "belly button" due to a small stress rip in the paper, and he replied "Hmm, I have never heard of a drago... |

| Very interesting, especially the part about origami (to me). I consider myself a visual thinker and have problems with math as she does, but I also excel at origami and wish I could understand the mathematical portion/patterns of it outside of the visual. |
