How to hide files in JPEG pictures
Posted on April 16, 2008 at 5:34 am If you’re looking to hide files on your PC hard drive , you may have read about ways to encrypt folders or change the attributes on a file so that they cannot be accessed by prying eyes. However, a lot of times hiding files or folders in that way requires that you install some sort of software on your computer, which could then be spotted by someone else.

If you want to familiarize yourself with 1337, or if you're just curious about it, this article will explain the basics of how to read and write in this everchanging language.

Welcome to Washington! The fun is about to begin, but first, please join me in pausing for a moment, to ask God’s blessing upon our nation and our next president . O God of our many understandings, we pray that you will… Bless us with tears – for a world in which over a billion people exist on less than a dollar a day, where young women from many lands are beaten and raped for wanting an education, and thousands die daily from malnutrition, malaria, and AIDS.

Some Stuff I Thought During "Jurassic Park: The Musical"
1) I really wasted my college years. All those hours spent studying and working part-time jobs and waiting for dialup internet to connect could not possibly add up to anything better than this production right here. 2) I have watched Jurassic Park a lot. Like, a LOT. Enough to get every halfway-obscure reference in this thing, from "hold on to your butts" to "Clever girl."
