拈花惹草，要防毒…  

Posted by: Julia in

看過一個有關電腦的笑話，把隨身碟（thumb drive）比喻為男人，如果到處拈花惹草，和這台電腦發生關係后，又去和另一台電腦有聯繫，如果沒有做好防毒措施，一不小心，可能會中招，搞不好會連累其它無辜的電腦！

以上雖然只是一個笑話，但是現實中不乏這樣的例子。遠的不說，就談發生在辦公室裡的中毒事件：休假多日，回來后電腦莫名其妙的不能正常操作。而后“病情”越來越嚴重，繼而USB接口和DVD DRIVE也不能操作，只好求助科技資訊人前來“診斷”，得到的結論是電腦中毒了！

事后，尋找中毒原因，最大的可能是電腦“濫交”，來者不拒，和來歷不明的隨身碟“發生關係”，才會遭受感染，中毒了。

知道真相后，非常懊惱，因為工作關係，總得從不同的隨身碟中拿取資料，感嘆難道沒有辦法防毒嗎？尤其是現在應用隨身碟越來越普遍和方便，為了防止電腦中毒而不用隨身碟，不是本末倒置嗎？

說得也有道理。不過，不必擔心啦！其實，我們還是可以用隨身碟傳送和儲存資料，只要做好防毒措施就行了。當然就不會有中毒的擔憂了。

新衣服先用鹽水洗  

Posted by: Julia in

有些人在購買新衣服後，只用清水洗一下，甚至不洗就穿. 他們認為新衣服只要包裝袋未拆就是乾淨的，事實上這種做法很不衛生，衣服上可能附有其他細菌，還可能含有甲醛，甲醛可以保持衣服形狀，但對人體有害.

很多人擔心衣服清洗後褪色。其實有一個簡單方法，那就是用淡鹽水浸洗新衣服.

棉製品色牢度不是很強，水洗易褪色. 用淡鹽水泡洗新衣能夠簡單消毒殺菌，並具有一定固色作用，能防止棉布褪色. 需要提醒的是，鹽水只能簡單消毒，不能除甲醛。一般衣服都含甲醛，但只要不超標就不會危害健康，因此大家應買正規廠家生產的衣服.
