Since 2007, millions of people around the world have been pranking each other with false links that redirect to a 1980s music video. The phenomenon has become known as the "Rick Roll," and has become an integral part of internet pop culture. The question is, where did it come from, and why did it become so popular?

    When would you guys say Skype died out? I still remember using Skype allllll the time when I was around 11-13, which were around 2015-2017. I think it really died with Discord releasing in 2016-2017

    If the legal options to acquire something are poor or nonexistent, then just get it illegally and within reason. Forcing us to have subscriptions to three or more streaming services just so we can have a full library to the likes video stores once had, when many times these streaming services themselves are unsatisfactory (like RUclips only allowing max 480p resolution on rented movies or these streaming services lying to us by advertising 4k streaming resolution when it is more like 1080p) you can't blame people for pirating.

    Piracy IS stealing ONLINE piracy IS NOT If some dude in the 1700s snuck into a theatre and ilegally watched a play, would you say he stole that play? No, of course you wouldn't. It would sound ridiculous It's the same for online piracy. Don't let the copyright holders gaslight you into believing otherwise. It's ilegal, but it's not stealing. They still have the thing, and "lost sales" is a falacy "Those who robbed roman ships of their cargo and olive oil" would be an inaccurate (and honestly, misleading) comparison to online piracy. A more accurate comparison would be if romans wanted to be the only ones with the right to selling olive oil and bread, and then some other people also started selling olive oil and bread.

    The employees did not make and distribute Microsoft Coffee boxes. The person who provided the video clip does not exist either. This video is the prank. NationSquid didn't show the news video in it's entirety because it's hacked together clips of a real news anchor which will be much more obviously spliced and incoherent if it were viewed start to finish. Cool story though, fun video.

    When Melissa hit I was providing database support for the marketing department at Dell, who had around 35,000 employees at the time. The email system was down all day, and the following two days we were only able to send emails through the intranet to other Dell addresses. Even though Melissa was known as a virus, it was often referred to as the 'Melissa worm'. I've never thought about it a lot until recently, but I decided to do a bit of research and came across this documentary. Now I'm kind of awed by the virus's significance. Some of my work at the time included making forms in Outlook so that sales managers could submit data. I'm not sure what version it was, but it still used jscript instead of VBA (which I think came with Outllook 98? Dell were often slow when it came to updating their software to the newest version, e.g. they didn't move from Win 95 until mid-2000). I also had to write macros in Excel and Access, and some of those created new entries in the file system. But the thought that VBA could be used for malicious purposes never occured to me. The main discussions about online safety were around whether or not to enable JavaScript and Java in IE / Firefox.

    Even if this could happen, software used to be sold on cassettes and even those had issues interfacing with the system through a direct connection, and you mean to tell me that laptops, with their infamously poor sound quality through the built in speakers, and their infamously poor laptop mics (I've genuinely sounded like I was in an air tunnel using my built in mics) and this guy somehow created a platform agnostic BIOS malware that somehow transfers through speakers and microphones and somehow has been coded to also account for issues with the code that could be misinterpreted due to the quality of those speakers and microphones and the malware caused system settings to not save effectively enabling a pseudo admin lock on his system... not through the OS, but through the BIOS? That sounds so ridiculous the person who created this code is the most genius person on this earth. Even malware that destroyed BIOS on some systems back in the Windows 9X days wasn't this sophisticated.

    I tried to watch cable tv at my parents' house for the first time in years. Of 2000 channels, 30% were some form of video on demand, 20% were the same basic news channel from different cities, and another 40% they didn't actually get, but you can't tell until you try to watch them. It costs them $80/month. Needless to say, I'm sticking with RUclips.
