The image was obviously Photoshopped, but not to add that single object, but remove all the others.
It would have looked a lot more like this, if they had not cleaned it up:

I guess there's no economical way to coax some of this stuff back home?
Perhaps I should work on a how-to "dummies guide" style tutorial for posting to the DC forum, complete with screenshots?
I am not being sarcastic. It's actually one of those things I am quite good at. I can simplify basic algebra to the level the average 5 year old can understand.-app103 (January 26, 2013, 03:14 PM)
Any relyable help or guide would be useful, app103, if it's pinned and locked.-crabby3 (January 26, 2013, 03:24 PM)
... which makes the learning-process, for the person, even harder. (In my case... more daunting. 
)
...just a suggestion
Well the See all metadata, images and captions. indicates that it is one of many pieces of space debris that they know of. See also link SPACE DEBRIS.-IainB (January 27, 2013, 06:33 AM)
I could see it being that.
Thermal tiles are black in color, and one that cracked could produce a triangular piece that in zero-G would simply float away slowly enough to be photographed.-SeraphimLabs (January 26, 2013, 03:30 PM)

Wherever the anchor is will be where your picture gets displayed in your post. You can't see the picture until you actually post it to the forum because it also needs to be uploaded before the forum software can display it..-40hz (January 25, 2013, 03:57 PM)
My guess is it's a piece of the Monolith that's fallen into near Earth orbit.-4wd (January 25, 2013, 09:22 PM)
Probably when mouser is on or nearing 12 nn or 12 midnight. (As it commonly is across the web).
I have one weird experience recently where it send me that message but a single click refresh and the forum was instantly back on.
If you were being sarcastic, I apologize for missing it.-Paul Keith (January 26, 2013, 04:32 AM)
Bad habits are hard to break.
Hey, IainB, could you please supply me with a How-To for the Click to Reveal/Hide box in your Reply #4 here? I can't seem to figure it out by myself.-crabby3 (January 25, 2013, 01:12 PM)
That's called a "spoiler". Just select the stuff you want to hide behind the button, then click the little button that looks like this: (see attachment in previous post)-app103 (January 25, 2013, 01:56 PM)
I occasionally do. Usually caused by one of the following:
- Poster forgot to attach the image to the post.
- Poster used another site to host and hotlinked the image and the image was deleted later on.
- Poster messed up the code to insert the image.
- My pc lost connection to the internet before the image could be loaded.
- I have images turned off in my browser and forgot to turn them back on. (this would affect all images on all sites, not just here)

Is there a name for this slashed-O thingy when it's displayed like this?
My only recent change to my machine was uninstalling Java.-crabby3 (January 24, 2013, 11:41 AM)
Java isn't used for rendering any part of this forum, so uninstalling it wouldn't affect whether or not you could view any of the images in posts. If that were the problem, then I'd be having trouble viewing images too (and I am not), as this computer that I am currently using has NEVER had Java installed on it.-app103 (January 25, 2013, 01:43 PM)
Thanks, I downloaded DuplicatePhotoFinder.
Great wedding photo!-IainB (January 24, 2012, 02:08 AM)

Did I get help removing the virus? If you mean tech-support... no. I'm a computer novice, at-best, but was able to access a friends computer (novice also) and print 22 pages listing several ways to fix this issue.-crabby3 (January 20, 2013, 12:48 PM)
mine required about 15 different steps using 7 different apps - we didnt find anything more after step #8 or so, and most of the steps at the end were precautions to help avoid recurrence (e.g. disabling java).-tomos (January 20, 2013, 01:44 PM)

The Killer Biscuits is really funny except for the last sentence. IMO ditzy is ditzy no matter the hair (dye) color or gender.
Or maybe it's from the '50s when that concept was more widely accepted?-crabby3 (January 24, 2013, 07:24 AM)
Well, technically, I'm a blonde...so if I am not offended, it doesn't matter.-app103 (January 24, 2013, 05:08 PM)
its changing to a reddish skin color.
What's the story... removed, broken link, my browser...-crabby3 (January 24, 2013, 09:04 AM)
Yes.
Granted it depends on how many images are not appearing how often, so if it's only a few here or there, now and then. Then sure any of the above could be the culprit. But if it's a bunch of them frequently...more digging/detail is most likely advisable.-Stoic Joker (January 24, 2013, 11:30 AM)
My 2 cents-
In defence of PicPick...-crabby3 (January 23, 2013, 10:51 AM)
With PicPick I just right-click the tray icon, left-click the Protractor, and there it is... ready to use... anywhere.

Maybe not safe for work
Forget keyboards. I often wonder why it doesn't occur to some people it's possible to wash their hands in water. Y'know, like maybe once or twice a year - whether they need it or not?
I was at a client site last week that had a collection of the grungiest, dirtiest (and any other "est" you can think of) keyboards imaginable. And this was a...well let's just say they were in as "white collar" a profession as they come.
I was tempted to put biohazard warning stickers on these things - assuming I could get them to stick.-40hz (December 10, 2012, 07:49 PM)
Yes I wash my hands but not every few hours.
What exactly would I gain by turning off one of the remaining three (2 malware, 1 AV) real-time scanners?-crabby3 (January 23, 2013, 07:17 AM)
Speed.
I think maywarebytes has a better reputation than SUPERAntiSpyware. Having three scanning simultaneously will slow things down and might not necessarily be of any more help than just having the real-time protection of two.
But again, it's your call
edit/ PS 10 or 11 minutes is still a very long time for startup-tomos (January 23, 2013, 07:45 AM)
