Pictures in Posts

[lessthannick11]

Is there a feature to turn off all pictures that people post in here? I almost have to stay off all day at work because you never know what will be posted and with a large monitor that people can see it can raise some eyebrows with stuff people put on here.

I'm guessing I am not the only one in the predicament?

Putting Keefe on Ignore eliminates about 95% of them, unless people quote him, and staying out of the "Famous Alumni of ___" threads will probably take care of the other 5%.

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

I couldn't agree more. I could block Keefe, but that wouldn't necessarily solve the problem because I often look at scoop at work while not logged in.  I just wish one of the mods would tell him to cut it out.  We all know how to find those picture online if we want.  And he doesn't even have good taste to begin with.

If it is in the famous ulumni threads, fine.  Those can be ignored easily enough.  But when they pop up in threads that actually pertain to basketball, it is beyond annoying. How many people have to complain for the mods to act?

Solutions:

1. Stop cheating your employer and shareholders and do your job rather than surfing the internet during business hours

2. By doing #1 you might get promoted and have a private office and then you can really go to town on the internet

3. If both #1 & #2 are unrealistic or futile then have the balls to:

A. Invent a game changing technology for which your name is on the patent and you can collect royalties for years and you can do whatever the hell you want during the day

B. Learn to play guitar like Pat Metheny and hit the road

C. Starve and paint the Next Mona Lisa

D. Drink and write the Great American Novel

E. Get an advanced degree from a great school that makes you bullet proof at your next job

F Marry the Boss' Daughter


In any event, bitching that you can't f#ck off at work is lame.

Let's see. I returned from a year of doing volunteer charity work fighting human trafficking in Nepal to undergo medical treatment for war wounds so my time this past year has been my own for the first time since I was graduated from business school. As I recommended to you, my name is on several patents on energy systems for which we have now closed out two rounds of funding with two of the world's leading private equity funds so I doubt my shareholders are going to give me sh1t about anything, much less looking at Scoop.

But I will get real. In addition to installing a coal cleaning technology at an RWE power plant outside Hamburg in March we are deploying another application for our suite of technologies in water purification systems in Ecuador, Bolivia, and Peru as humanitarian works of charity (which was part of the mandate we sold to Paul Allen because we really do believe in giving back.) Is that real enough for you? Buddy?

One can also check Scoop on IPhone or Droid as I do. Maybe in the Men's room stall if you're paranoid

The New Age corollary would be to Marry the Boss' Son which you can now do in WA.

Give me a shout when you have a sec. We have an energy absorption application you might have an interest in.

What Keefe--there is no photo for this thread?

Guys screwing off at work, writing a novel drunk, painting while starved, playing guitar, studying, etc.  A little diappointed I must say.

Here's a shot of "5 J's" scouring Scoop for business insight, an activity wholly funded by his shareholders.

Quite humble too, I see. Congraduunnatural carnal knowledgeinglations, you want a cookie? I am here to talk MU basketball, not get a resume from some know it all, self proclaiming genius, or look at his collection of 3/4 naked women pictures.

Keefe---really, working on clean coal--c'mon man--our Fearless Leader has already told us that coal fired anything is passé and will lead to bankruptcy. Better yet, work on installing shatter proof backboards for MU thunderous dunks.

The 5 J's Guide to Surfing the Internet at Work


1. 3M privacy filters - Although effective, the 3M privacy filter is like slapping a Post-It note (also 3M) on your back that says "I might surf for porn today".  Unless you truly are surfing porn while at work, you might want to avoid this option.

2. Reducing the brightness level of your monitor - A more inconspicuous option than the privacy filter, adjusting the brightness level of your monitor can be very effective.  You can usually adjust it to a point where others walking by can't catch a good glimpse and it buys you a couple extra seconds if someone does enter your cube.

3. Find the optimal "private angle" of your laptop or monitor - Every laptop or monitor has a sweet spot where, if you lean back in your own chair, you can still see your monitor just fine.  It's nearly impossible for others to view your screen if used in combination with the brightness level adjustment.

4. Minimize windows and view within confines of often used work software - There are many who lovingly use the minimized window technique.  Yet, nearly 76% of them fail to follow through on the most important and logical second step which is to move that minimized window within the confines of software you use for work.  For example, sliding your minimized browser into the Microsoft Outlook email preview pane is an effective method of taking a minimized screen to the next level.  When coworkers or managers stop by, you simply click on an email from the top of the screen and the browser is relegated to the back seat.  Your cube guest has no idea you were browsing the web within Outlook.

5. Physical location of your monitor within your cube - If you are allowed to reposition your monitor or laptop within your cube, don't just accept its default placement.  It is more than likely that you can significantly reduce any chance of others viewing your screen by finding a more appropriate place for your monitor.  However, placing your screen in the back corner of the cube facing away from all traffic might be a bigger red flag than 3M privacy film.  Reposition wisely.

6. Perfecting the Alt-Tab technique - Well known among the effective slackers in the office, the Alt-Tab technique within windows allows you to quickly switch windows without the use of a mouse.  The key to this technique is for your previous window to always be work related.  This ensures your Alt-Tab maneuver gives off the appearance that you're working.  There is nothing more disastrous than an Alt-Tab scenario that brings up a Flickr page of a guy dressed like an Army figurine.  Perhaps there are scenarios worse than that, but I can't provide those links.

7. The buddy system -  Using your work posse to help warn you of incoming managers and coworkers is an effective method to combat wandering eyes.  Whether it's an audible "ca-caw", or perhaps an instant message online, it's important to devise a bulletproof method for quickly signaling an infiltration.

8. Fisheye security mirror - If it works to curb theft in convenient stores, it can also work wonders for your private web surfing.  Placing a fisheye mirror in your cube can be effective as long as your able to keep it on the down low.  Make sure to hide it within your cube so others aren't aware of its presence.  This is easier said than done.  One downfall to the fisheye mirror is frequent false alarms.  You'll be Alt-Tabbing all day long.

C'mon man--looking at 3/4 naked hotties in the Israeli Army expands the mind, among other things. Cut Keefe some slack. He does need to post a little bit more about MU BBall on occasion, however.

Keefe with the lazer guided bomb from the A-10 right on to JJJJJ!

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

I am happy to lead the crusade.  And for whoever else asked, no I don't find them entirely "offensive". I just don't come on scoop to look at pictures some old man likes.  I come on here to talk MU basketball. I know I am NOT alone in my thoughts, as several other people, including the OP, have also voiced their opinions at the matter.  I will happily block Keefe if the mods aren't willing to do anything - no skin off my back. But 95% of the guys posts have nothing to do MUBB, ya know, the purpose of this message board.

No, Moorburg is a Swedish-owned plant. The RWE facility is on the North Sea. The second install will be at a plant in Westfalia.
