Comment on Tip: Using Two Monitors Effectively

Fridge — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 07:24:33 GMT

Oh for sure, the first thing that comes to mind with two monitors has to be overkill. Isn’t it enough of a struggle trying to keep up with one? Surely you can perform all these actions with one monitor and simply alt+tab between them. I’m not so sure this would work any better than the current system but I’ll reserve my judgement until I’ve seen it in action.

Comment on Suicide, Social Networking and EULAs

Another well done post. As the mother of a teenage daughter, I found Drew's conduct morally reprehensible - but as a legal professional I did not think she would be held criminally or civilly liable under current law. By the way, I find your daughter's logic very sound! :)

This is of particular interest to me. For the last year and one half, I have been subjected to a disgruntled former partner's rantings, ravings, defamation, libel and slander, accusations, and more on the Internet, in phone calls and more. They have posted defaming things about me, blogged about me, and written untrue and hateful things on their listserv. The abuse continues. It's hard to believe that anyone would be so obsessed with stories they simply made up.

Further, my son has been contacted and threatened on his job and more by this person. They took personal papers and posted them anonymously with information about my ss#, bank accounts, mother's maiden name, date of marriage, date of birth and more. It was an identity thief's dream come true. And they will not stop.

This so-called "paralegal expert" and their band of biddies has caused me to wonder if I shouldn't be using another name to protect myself and my family from their vicious and harmful attacks , cyberstalking, cyberbullying and more plus the tortious interference with my business.

However, I am going to continue to do my job, to continue to be out in the community and continue to rise above the small mindedness and vindictiveness. It's tough and I do empathize with everyone who has ever gone through this. It's no way to live.

The main thing to remember is that these kind of people can only get you down if you let them. And frankly, they are just not worth the time, the effort or the attention.

Bullies are bullies and if they had a healthy life, they wouldn't be so obsessed. No one should ever be intimidated by these windbags. If it happens to you, hold your head high, stay positive, seek out your friends and move ahead with your life. It's so much healthier and a much better way to live.
