So I had a thought. Hypothetically, if someone wanted to bring their laptop with them when they go to active duty in the army, the army will search it and make sure they're not a spy or anything. That's fine, but let's say hypothetically said laptop has roms, pirated music, games, and movies on it. Could someone be penalized under any circumstances for this? Even if they were all deleted, do they still leave traces that can be detected?

Hypothetically, of course.

Well They sure don't allow porn on the computer, I don't think they will mind about a few games and music.

I read an article in a magazine once. I think it said that they don't mind music or stuff like that but games like wow and runescape are not ok.


The work, which becomes a new genre itself, will be called...

I think they would make you delete the porn. But music and all that should be fine. Actually, I didn't even know you could bring a laptop with you. I thought they would supply you one to talk to your family with once you were on base.

For boot camp, you can't bring pretty much anything. On active duty, I don't see why they would care, and I highly doubt they even check through the files. If you can't bring it with you, you can always get one once you're on base.

Just shove the porn into a system32 file and call it "Nrop".

No one will ever know.

Strychnine and cyanide. A healthy part of this complete breakfast.

Or keep it on a flash drive and get a laptop once you're on base.


The redesign happened, now my signature doesn't match anymore.
