Couple not-so-simple solutions: 1) Kill all suspicious processes. Then run a spyware remover. 2) Boot from another OS and run a spyware remover from there. This prevents the thing from running at startup, since you're booting from a different OS. Ofcourse you need to have a multi-boot setup for this. 3) Remove the disk and install it as a secondary drive in another machine. Then run the spyware remover.
Spammers and spyware 'promoters/users' should be chemically castrated. But Jafo, that would mean the end of all entrepreneurs! craeonics installed some spyware on purpose the other day, so he could a) see what it did; and b) feel less left out for he never gets "infec
Mwah, email is always preferable to the poor man's substitute thereof. I really dislike these ISM's. Always forget to read them and what not.
534x400? Why not 640x400, a clean multiple of 320x400? Animation can only be done by palette shifting, which really isn't worth pursuing. There are a couple of apps that can do that for your though. See: http://www.virtualplastic.net/html/logo_scr.html#win9x
The IDE-cables. They tend to use shortened versions of the same cables used in computers, but it takes quite a bit of force to disconnect those, so the risk of tearing them apart is bigger than what is comfortable to me.
FireWire is faster, less cpu intensive, USB is more practical. To quote Weaksid: "This is what I got -> http://www.techsolo.com/product/external_storage/TMR_3550/index.php It's nice [no-smiley]" ...though I still have doubts about the strength and durability of the drive connectors. I suspect these things wear fast.
"Learn to use your computer", as true as it may be, is not a really satisfactory answer. Is the computer there to serve you or are yout he slave of the machine? Unbelievable what people will put up with when it comes to computers. Imagine you driving your car and all of a sudden your brakes would give you blue screen.
Cell phone have an OS, so they are hackable. The hard part is getting into it. Probably requires special hardware.
If that means you're going to put things up first and then take down the works of those that mind, you're doing it the wrong way around.
Ah yes, the joys of proprietary file systems.
Ranish is a partition tool. As far as I know, it doesn't double as a boot manager. Were following that dual-boot guide? If so, how far did you come and what is you current partition setup?
Attitude is the author's prerogative, not the user's.
Whoa! You know you've spent too much time online when you can read J-man's 1337-speak post without much problems. craeonics thinks it's time to throw his machine out of the window
12/15 Urgh... craeonics screwed up the obvious ones
I always use PartitionMagic, since it can do on-the-fly creating and resizing without those reboots. But if I were looking for a freeware app, Ranish would be top of the list: http://www.ranish.com/part/
Great. This disqualifies me from the "everyone" department, for I have no heroes, idols, role-models or what not.
I somehow prefer the more elaborate pranks. Something like "StarDock releases ObjectDock for OSX". Something that might seem convincing, until your brain kicks in and enlightens you on at the unlikeliness of it all.
Theoretically, a blog site will suck up way less bandwidth than a skin site, since the latter is basically a download site, while the former is primarily information. No-one visits a blog to leech. So that bit is cheaper. Aside from that, it's a great portfolio for gorman et al. If someone asks what they've done so far, they can point at ModBlog. So it's also an investment.
They may be fakes, but I do plan on breaking out the back of my TFT screen, 1) but I need to get one first; and 2) after the warranty expires. Or should I do it while I still have warranty?
Trouble with becoming accustomed with one OS is exactly just that, you become accustomed with its behavior, quirks and know how to do what you want to do with it and the apps available and solve any problem that might pop up. If you switch OS, you lose all that. That said, I've been playing admin over our Linux file server at work for the past few months, so I'm slowly getting familiar with its intricacies, apparent counter-intuitiven

Silly marketeers. Always thinking that users are anxiously waiting for new developments, while in reality they couldn't care less.
Whether or not I get a PSP or a DS depends on the games that are available for it. I care little about multimedia capabilities. To me, it's primarily a console. In general, I dislike playing on small screens, so those games'd better be good if I am to get one.
A bunch of frogs dragged me out of my hole, tossed me in the back of their trailer and dumped me over here. In other words, been here since day one.

Just a thought, being that sometimes to really iinprove a site, you might need to shut it down... completely... so emplement new systems. No you don't, unless a) you're a lousy developer; or b) you've stumbled upon a major security/stability flaw. B is unlikely, or we would've seen it by now (sites aren
StarDock is the Microsoft of skindom. Hence they get all the flack. Not much you can do about that.
