Why do people create viruses?

harmonee @harmonee (1228) • United States 18 Feb 10

I understand the point of the ones that steal your passwords or credit card info, although still think this is 100% wrong, But why do people make viruses that simply mess up your computer? I just had to totally wipe my hard drive...

sunyskies I don't know if it's true or not, but I had heard that some people create viruses as a sort of resume for jobs writing code. If they can create a successful virus, it's impressive to some companies. I guess it shows that they can write code well. I suppose...

sunyskies It's not a big deal to me like it was when I was a kid, but I still celebrate my birthday. My husband and my kids usually make a nice dinner and a cake or other dessert. Then they do all the clean up, which is really nice. I usually get a gift from my husband,...

Would you tell someone they had a ticket?

thuhuong @thuhuong (823) • United States 16 Feb 10

I was sitting in the car as an officer drove up and looked intently at a minivan half-parked out on the alley. He slowed down and got down the information for the van and drove around, came back and planted a ticket on the...

sunyskies Yes, I think I would tell the driver that there was ticket on his windshield if I thought he hadn't seen it. I wouldn't feel too badly that you didn't tell him, though. I don't think the ticket would have been very likely to blow away, even at high speeds...

sunyskies I like DCMerkle's idea of finding a recipe that was popular 100 years ago. If you are looking for something more literal, you could make a sheet cake and use icing to write "Happy 100 Year Anniversary Cub Scouts", or something to that effect. Another idea...

Do you feel that we are heading in the direction of a global change?

dvmurphy @dvmurphy (326) • United States 15 Feb 10

In the last few years we have had some really wierd weather in the midwest. Iowa had a record flood that has never been seen in the state's history, horible devastation by tornadoes and heavy snowfalls. IL near Chicago had a...

sunyskies I think that the earth may be going through normal changes that it goes through every x amount of years. It could be every 10,000 or every million, or some other arbitrary number. We don't have recorded history far enough back to know all the changes and...

Do you ever buy things you don't really need to get a freebie?

ladym33 @ladym33 (10978) • United States 15 Feb 10

Ulta is having their free makeup bag filled with makeup with a $17.50 purchase. I love these bags and the free make up so I bought some make up yesterday. I bought some mascara which I don't need at the moment but I will...

sunyskies I've done that before. Especially during the holidays when so many products will offer a free gift with purchase. Sometimes it will be the deciding factor between two different brands. I remember once I decided which perfume to buy by which brand had the best...

Should a Discussion Always Be in the Form of Asking or Question?

sexyposh @sexyposh (575) • Philippines 15 Feb 10

I envy most of my fellow MyLotters who has more than twenty (20) respondents. Honestly, I'm having a hard time of what topic to discuss, and once I think of one, most of respondents I get never even reach ten (10). Its just so...

sunyskies I think posting your discussions in the form of a question makes it easier for respondents to determine what their response should be. If you just say something like "I like cooking", it's harder for people to decide what to add. If you ask "what do you like...

sunyskies I am so ready for spring! We got a big dumping of snow here in Michigan last Wednesday. We've had a few flurries since then, but nothing more. The temps have been warmer and the snow on the ground is starting to melt. That was making me pretty happy. Well, of...

Euthanasia Do you believe in it or not?

teamrose @teamrose (1492) • United States 15 Feb 10

Euthanasia is legal is a way of bringing about a peaceful death of a terminally ill person. It is not legal in the United States or the UK, but is legal in Holland. If you had a family member that was terminally ill. Would you be...

sunyskies I've never been in that situation so it's hard to say, but I think if a loved one were suffering, I would want to be able to abide by their wishes. My husband and I talk about that from time to time. Neither one of us would want to be kept alive in a...

Who orders diet soda with their Burgers?!

ShepherdSpy @ShepherdSpy (8544) • Omagh, Northern Ireland 15 Feb 10

Apparently it's quite a common occurrence here for somebody to be ordering a diet drink along with their "Everything on" McWhopper Sandwich Meal Deal (supersized,of course!) My question is Why?! The food has probably put a big...

sunyskies I think it may be for taste or dietary reasons. My dad is diabetic, so if he's having a soft drink, it will be a diet one. He isn't heavy, he just drinks it because it doesn't have sugar. He very rarely eats fast food, but once in a while it's okay for him to...

I have an ear infection in my right ear- help?

Valenas @Valenas (1507) • United States 15 Feb 10

I cannot make it to the doctor just yet, so that is going to have to wait. My ear has become infected in addition to a recent sinus infection that I am currently getting over. I have not had this issue since I was very little, and...

sunyskies I have lots of experience with ear problems! If what you have is an ear infection (pain, possibly some fluid draining on the outside of your ear), you may need antibiotics to clear it up. In the mean time, try ibuprofen for pain. Heat is also helpful. A hot...

Is it right for a guy to cry over his girlfriend?

jamaiyi @jamaiyi (66) • Singapore 15 Feb 10

is it proper for a guy to cry over his girlfriend for any reason whatsoever? I have seen so many situations where girls cry over guys but not vice versa. So, the question is, "Is it proper for any guy to cry over his girlfriend?"...

10 responses

sunyskies I think guys cry over their girlfriends far more often than they would admit to. I would guess that it happens a lot. Guys and girls do tend to handle things differently, though. It seems to me that girls get emotional while guys tend to get physical. If a...
