How can I prove it was a pop-up ad?
I was browsing an internet XXX site the other night while my wife was at work. When I was finished, I closed the browser (Firefox) and went to bed. However, it seems that a pop-up appeared on the screen that I did not see for some sex-cam chat site. My wife sat down to check e-mail when she got home from work and found it on the screen. Now, she is convinced that I was chatting with some other woman on this site and will not believe me when I tell her it must have been a pop-up from the XXX site I was looking at. She is demanding I give her my login info...but I have never even registered for one of those webcam sites.
Is there any way my computer can come to my defense? Can I prove that it was a pop-up in some sort of history file? I tried going to the XXX site I was on to see if it would pop-up again and prove to her....nothing.
Surely someone out there knows enough about computers to show me how to get the evidence of my innocence. Please help!
4 AnswersSecurity1 decade agoHow to modify divorce decree in Texas when I live in Illinois?
It's about 5 years since my divorce and the stipulations are that the community property was to be divided equally. To date, I have only taken my clothes and the car I had at the time. Now, I live out of state and I am also still on the mortgage to the house which my ex lives and is behind on the payments.
Basically, what I need to do is modify the my decree to specifically state that the house is to be sold and the equity from the proceeds divided equally. I don't really need the money, but there's no way she could qualify for a refinance that would get my name off so she won't be dragging my credit through the mud. But, I wouldn't mind the 10-15k either.
So, anyone know how I go about filing for modification without physically going to Texas?
4 AnswersMarriage & Divorce1 decade agoChest pain/tightness?
I woke up last night with extreme tightness in my chest, pain was in the front center and in my back between my shoulder blades. I felt it very hard to breath. I moved around trying to find a position that was more comfortable and noted that it was worse if I layed on my right ride. After a few minutes, it went away and then came back again a few minutes later for a few minutes. The 2nd time I also felt pain in my jaw. Can someone, maybe a doctor, tell me what this sounds like?
I'm 37, pack a day smoker and drink regularly (4 to 6 beers a day). I have been diagnosed with a mild aortic valve sclerosis about 5 years ago...
4 AnswersHeart Diseases1 decade agoUsing Excel formulas...?
I cannot remember how to do this:
I have a worksheet with numbers (1,2,3...etc) in one column and corresponding phrases in another column. What I want it to do is, on another worksheet, if I put a number in a cell, it will automatically pull the corresponding phrase and enter it in a designated cell. Please help!
1 AnswerOther - Computers1 decade agoTravel Expenses related to child visitation...?
Until recently, I lived in Texas just 10 minutes from my son who lives with his mother. But, I was laid off and ended up finding work out of state. I already pay quite a bit in child support and have spent all my savings getting moved. So, money is pretty tight and I would like to get my son here with me for the holidays. Should my ex-wife be responsible to contribute to the cost of flying my son here, or could I at least reduce my child support payments to her to accommodate for the additional expense I will incur flying him here every couple of months?
10 AnswersMarriage & Divorce1 decade agoWhat's wrong with my trailer lights?
This applies to a semi-truck. I have a 3 position switch in the cab. Up gives me my lower marker lights on the trailer, down gives me the clearance lights w/o the marker lights and the middle is off. Shouldn't one of the positions give me both marker and clearance lights? How do I fix this?
2 AnswersSafety1 decade agoWhat should be done about Somalian Pirates?
Personally, I think NATO should approve an air strike to blow as many of them out of the water as possible. Hopefully, that will send a message to the rest of them to find land and resume their daily routine of killing each other.
Once that's accomplished, we can start bombing those internet cafe's in Nigeria...
It's unfortunate for the Egyptians, but we really just need to cut off that entire continent from the rest of the world and let them kill each other off. Between disease and infighting, it should only take a couple of years. Then, we can repopulate from civilized nations and make good use of the vast resources available there.
4 AnswersOther - Society & Culture1 decade agoWhat do we do now that Obama will be president?
I seriously fear for the future of this country with Obama as out president. Connected to socialists and Muslims; while it's likely that he doesn't really hold these ideals, what if HE DOES? We've made a huge mistake by voting for a man simply because he can speak well and happens to be black.
Oh, and don't think the African Americans aren't going to capitalize on this and execute revenge on the Anglo population for something that our great grandfathers did and never directly happened to a single one of them.
People may have this "warm fuzzy" feeling right now, but mark my words THE CRAP WILL HIT THE FAN ONCE HE TAKES THE OATH!!
17 AnswersElections1 decade agoWhat is the answer to racism?
I'm just curious what everyone thinks about what people call racism. MLK and many before and after him preached equality and the philosophy of being "color blind". But how is that possible when every word that anyone says is scrutinized based on 1) What was said, 2) The race of the person who said it and 3) The race of the person they were referring to.
The primary argument surrounding Imus' statement is that is was degrading and offensive to the Rutger players.
Let me cite an example of another degrading and offensive statement that was made in recent months. Does anyone remember the Rosie O'Donnel v Donald Trump fued? Is calling Rosie a "fat slob" not degrading and offensive? But, because they are both white nobody thinks anything of it.
So when will we ever truly acheive the ideal of being color blind when everything that is said by anyone in this country must be passed through the racial ethics filters?
