    6. File share sites with "free downloads" that force you to do sketchy surveys and offers. (you also get bonus spam and malware for free too)

              Talking of which, had to get up a bit earlier than usual this morning so set my alarm for 0640. Hit snooze twice and got up at 0700. Had shower, woke my daughter up, went downstairs. Kitchen clock said 0615. Work phone said 0615. Went back upstairs, retrieved my phone, it said 0715. 5 minutes later it returned to the proper time and then at 0640 the bloody alarm went off again. Last week it spent a good part of the day claiming it was early in the morning of 2nd January 1970. Think I may need to rethink what I use for an alarm in the mornings.

                  I want to shank the person who thought that one up. Then I want to doubly shank the person who approved it. :mad: Just yesterday I was setting up my new laptop and grabbing tools to mount ISOs. I wanted the basic version (aka free) so went to the site, and just to the right, up on top, right under the name of the software... "Start Download - Free Version". Sure enough, advertisement. Back, scroll down, and I see the real link, in a green button about a quarter of the size of the ad. "Download". This is not the first time this has happened to me. :sigh:

                        Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

                                        Exactly! I hadn't thought that far but now that you mention it, that's right! Heh... I just throw them in the "white colored" file 86, don't even look at them! ;)
