Everything you never wanted to know about Counsellor Troi's Cleavage . . . highlight: had Roddenberry stuck with his original idea, the Troi character would have

quote:

had a whole lot of cleavage. Originally, creator Gene Roddenberry imagined Troi as "a four-breasted, oversexed hermaphrodite." Writer Dorothea "DC" Fontana convinced him to change the character. Fontana wrote,

"I honestly believe you will offend most women, and maybe a lot of men with this character. Besides, how are you going to arrange those four provocatively shaped breasts? Four in a row? They had better be small. Two banks of two? Do you know how much trouble women have with the normal number�keeping them out of the way of things, I mean. Four straight up and down? Don�t be silly."

In the end, they decided to give her a standard cleavage, but kept the eye candy.

*** This thread is temporarily interrupted for an emergency announcement ***

Does anyone know what this is? This yellow line is bouncing back and forth in the central third of my screen like it's being scanned.
I must've hit something I shouldn't have. It doesn't matter if I'm online or not or on screensaver, it's always happening
How do I get rid of this?

*** We now return you to your regularly scheduled content. Please interrupt with an emergency answer ***

Looks like a video card or driver problem to me. Try changing the video resolution on your desktop and then change it back again.

I've got a bunch of goofy things happening on my computer lately. Who or what would block iexplorer from graphics hardware?
Google Chrome? This is the second time it happened and it took awhile for me to get a cursor back, open taskmanager, select iexplorer and kill it. Any ideas?

Just tried that, had no effect whatever. By the way, you may have noticed from my other post that like the cursor, my screenshot program ignores the yellow oscillating line.

This forum is bad enough. If I went to that other one I'd never have time to get up. I'd have to sit on a chamber pot.

Looks like a virus to me. Better post the question in the Tech Forum. That info on blocked graphics access is interesting.
If you prefer IE but also have Google Chrome installed, the conflict between them may be an issue. I would uninstall Google Chrome and make sure IE was set as the default browser. I am using Win 7 so I do not know if Win 10 handles these things in the same way.

Other silly things to consider:
1. Run whatever 'security' app you have installed
2. Defrag your machine (delete your caches [the browsers, the Win folders, that sort of thing])
3. If all else fails, revert to a previous image of the system/apps with El "Systemo Restoro Fabuloso"

Before resetting drivers or messing with the OS,

1) Disconnect your LAN cable
2) Reboot into a 'clean' OS. Does the problem persist?
3) CNTRL-ALT-Delete, check to make sure no applications other than Task Manager are running. If so, you have been had...
4) If not, go to Applications, ensure only system applications and applications under your login are running
5) Keep an eye on Network to ensure no application keeps trying to go active. If so, you have been had.
6) You are disconnected fron the LAN, so disable your AV program. Does that help?

From here on, it can get a little complicated

OMG. Sir Gorn - that confirms it! The Russians are hacking your computer to get embarrassing e-mails to post on Wikileaks. What will this do to your presidential campaign!

As a pure "Jeezus I may have been haxoored" you can go into Control Panel/System Protection, and try to restore from your previous load. Only do this while disconnected from your LAN. If that fixes it, run every AV option you can find before reconnecting the LAN cable.

Yay! I fixed the yellow oscillating line. That probably has nothing to do with the other graphics hardware thing, though.

blondes
Edit: A bit too graphic...

And if that is over-the top for this sub-forum then yes, we should all agree to a mutual banishment of this thread to the Australian Beauties thread (and potentially a rename of that thread to "Wang Dang Sweet Femme Thang"
