Since I can't sleep, and was woke by all these fucking teenage kids here. I'll write something while I eat. (The kids have friends over)

Have you ever read the posts by "ThePirate"(in the city). I'm not even sure I have the name correct. I tried to do a "user search" to make sure.. as well as some other things he said.. That part of "MyBloggers" isn't working now. I'm flying on my "memory". So details won't be "exact", but I know are still close.

I always liked "ThePirate". I really did. He was a "very enjoyable" character to me. When I read his blogs. (I didn't read them "all the time" hence, why I don't know the blog name exact) but when I did read I liked him.

"The Pirate" wrote his last blog. Said he was done blogging. He stated he was "convicted" of having illegal porn on his computer (naked kid stuff). He is a registered sex offender now. He is an "admitted gay" man too.

The comments to him, well everyone liked him. Nobody gave a bad comment to him but me. I do like him too kinda. I called him a "dork"! Not so much for what he did. He "came out" and admitted parts. Just no longer wants to "eloborate". I'd rather he stays online and answers questions. He is playing a game though. Run and hide.. that's what he's doing. And I know why. I'd far prefer he comes out and "tells the real truth".. not the lies I know he is saying. I'd like the "Pirate" to stay here. Probably he can't. I'd like him to be honest and change his ways. he isn't "honest though. Not in the least.

He kinda put it this way. "He accidental" seen some "illegal" porn on the internet. He didn't save it on his hard drive (he says), it was in a "cache" and he was just "caught" up in something. He kinda claims, it was a simple mistake.

Go look at his "blog". It's alot of BS really. Not the part of him being "convicted", the excuses are BS.

Cops have "way more" to do.. then go grab someones computer (random).. check it all out.. if they "accidental" downloaded an "illegal porn pic". Give me a fucking break! The police had "probable cause" he was downloading "illegal porn" and therefore seized his computer. And prosecuted.

Hey, I look at some porn. Some of these sites say "Barely legal" or whatever. I'm under the assumption they "ARE" legal. That's up to the site owner to have the "records on hand". Now, if however one of these girls that "claim" to be "18" aren't. The cops won't be storming my doors. They will go after the "site" that displays them. Even if it's not from the "USA", they will know what's up. the police know what your doing. Once they start checking into ya.

No, I don't care what he says. He was "purposely" downloading child porn. I don't hate the guy, just think he is kinda sick. I do know he is a "lying bastard". I'd like him to keep talking here. At least come clean. We do kinda like the dude overall. If I am wrong, I'd like a "good explanation".

COMPUTER CLASS 101

Now if you decide to be a "sick bastard" like "ThePirate". You better learn a thing or two about "computers". The first, he already learned. There is a "cache" multiple really. Now you could go clean those all the time.. think your safe. No, your not. Safe from your "wife maybe", but not from the law.

Your "harddrive" is magnetic. Well before I get into that I better say this. Ok, you know that "recycle" bin on your "Windows Operating system"? That was "created" so if you accidently deleted something you could restore it. It was made as a "safety check" for people. I'll tell you this, even if you "delete" everything in the "recycle bin", it isn't "deleted".

Nothing is truely "deleted" until "overwrote", or magnetically discharged. Every single "byte" is stored as 8 "on and off states of magnetically charged" electricity. If you had your computer "5" years, you still have info there that can be recovered. Pictures, all that. You don't have the "software" to recover anything after it goes out of the "recycle bin", but the "law" does. They won't get everything. That's because of how your "hard drive stores" information in sectors. Now that would be a "huge" blog for me. I may do it someday tho.

A complete "re-format" will wipe it "clean". That takes some time.. so don't attempt that if the "cops" knock at your door.

Carry a "big ass magnet". Cops come knocking, run that over your hard drive. It better be big, because most hard disks are greatly shielded now. Just leave the computer case open (or a few simple hand screws).. unplug that HD.. and rub the magnet over it a few times.. You won't go to jail..lol.

I know I shouldn't write this stuff. Really I am not trying to help "child porn freaks". I think they are the "sickest bastards around! What I am trying to do is give some general "yet" deep computer knowledge you don't hear everywhere. Just so you know.

Take care, Gary :)
