All is not for hidin. All is for trash.
This is something neat that happens every once and a while when you are the sort of person to whom people come with their computer problems. I had the following conversation just now.
L: Jay, it says that I need to delete things from my mailbox. What does that mean?
J: It means that you need to delete some things.
L: Like, from my Deleted Items?
J: Yes. Just right click on your deleted items folder. Yes...that folder. Now right click on it. Ok, now select "Empty Deleted Items".
L: Will that delete all of my deleted items?
J: Yes.
L: I can't do that. I need some of them.
THE FUCK?
The deleted items folder is not your super-secret bin wherein you keep valuable information and necessary files. It's where you put DELETED ITEMS! It's where you put SHIT YOU DON'T NEED ANYMORE. The same goes for the Recycle Bin and the Trash can in your home. These are not your personal storage areas, the cheeks to your proverbial squirrel. These are refuse containers. Putting an item into such a container signifies that the item is not necessary, that it is trash, that it may depart from this realm of existence and cause no one consternation in-so-doing.
I can understand not knowing what the system32 folder does. That name is not clear to a layperson. But "Trash"? "Deleted Items"? Come on.

Panda Poo for Fun and Profit
Step One: Make Panda Shit into Paper Weight
Step Two: ???
Stop Three: Profit!!!
Mitt Romney Hates Snowmen.
Mitt Romney Hatses your snowmen:
"You know, I do think that there is a degree of respectfulness that ought to be associated with the process of selecting a nominee for each party, and I think from what I’ve heard that, that, that level of respectfulness was breached, you know I don’t that it makes sense to have people running for president, answering questions from, posed from snowmen. Uh, so, with things of that nature, I’d look for a format that’s a little more, uh, a little more respectful if possible."
I'm sure this will end well for him and won't lead to the creation of any new youtube videos about him.
Noah's Ark, Creationism, and Labradoodles.
Noah's Ark, Creationism, and Labradoodles are, I think, three ideas that work very well together to explain some of the problems with the ideas maintained by your average Dipshit Q.* Creationist.
The first labradoodle was bred in 1989 by Wally Conron who was, we can assume, the sort of person who would try to get minature poodles and Labradors to have sex. Since Labradoodles did not exist until 1989 and since the events of Noah's Ark occured before 1989 (presumably) we can conclude that Labradoodles were not on Noah's Ark. Additionally, we know that Wally Conron, not God, bred the first Labradoodle in 1989.
So we know that the Creationist idea that, "Every species that exists always has existed, so there." is demonstrably false due to Labradoodles. We also know that the idea that, "All animals that exist now were on Noah's Ark, so there" is also demonstrably false due to Labradoodles. Additionally we know that it is possible for species which at one time did not exist to come into existance via breeding, as was the case with the Labradoodle. In other words, the Labradoodle evolved from the breeding of two other types of animals. So the notion that evolution does not occur can also be shown to be demonstrably false due to the Labradoodle.
So maybe all we needed to do was send that schoolboard in Kansas a Labradoodle. At the very least it would have been fun to have watched them try to explain it away.
* The Q also stands for "dipshit".
