  1. I was dowloading something off of a website today and i clicked on a link and guess what. I got a big fat virus. A good one too i must admit cause i've spent all freaking day trying to get rid of it and just will not go away :mad::mad: .

     

    It's called the backdoor.haxdoor virus i think. i've tried everything' date=' ad-aware, spybot, stinger, symantec, but if anyone has anysuggestions, then that would be great.[/quote']

    I will post you help tomoro Dan....too tired to think at the moment :-(

    No worries though,just make sure you always scan before opening files.Invest in a good AV like mcafee.Trust me on that one.

  2. Hi' date=' I am wondering if anyone knows of any good data and file recovery software (free, and fully functional) that works in that it looks for deleted files (particularly files from another user on this same computer, as I deleted my old user-account for Windows XP) and finds everything from that user account.

     

    I also have an already recovered *.zip file, however, the file is unopenable presently by simply attempting to open it, so I am wondering if anybody knows how to receive the files that are in a seemingly "corrupted" zip file, as the file appears to contain some or all of the files, but it simply doesn't open up in winzip (or, at least it didn't when I tried). So, is there some other method of deencryption or something necessary to converting an [i']undeleted[/i] file, such as a zip file, to being functional or salvagable? I would like the files in the zip file, and zip file is some several megabytes in size, so I do believe that the material and adata exists in it, I just don't personally know what to do about it and how to receive it apart from seeking help.

     

    Thanks!

    The way you have constructed your post has led me to believe you are attempting to retrieve someone elses deleted files.The good news is you certainly dont need any fancy software to accomplish this,or to open/repair corrupt zip files.

    The bad news is its very devious and disrepectful of others privacy to attempt this.I think this should be best left alone.If im being too cynical forgive me but reading your post you have obviously lost nothing of great value.Accept you have learned a lesson(hard drives fail)and make backups of important files.

  3. I'll take a shot at it.

    The poor are genetically inferior. They remain poor' date=' numbers dwindle, the rich become Spliced and fully dominant, and their livelihood becomes protected to maintain the order of the higher class Spliced people. Eventually, the population is exclusively composed of the Spliced, and the world is a better place, wth healthy people, and a good system for society. No one ever becomes poor again. The human race get's back on track in regards to advancing genes (though through artificial selection rather than natural) we become stronger gene-wise, healthier, and the race is saved from a long slow death by congenital entropy. Extinction is no longer an issue. Everyone is happy.[/quote']

    Disagree.

    People accidents not withstanding,would be guaranteed to live longer.We would simply have too great a percentage of elderly populus,to maintain economic stability.We already have problems as it is.

    It would open a whole can of worms up.How would we address the situation,one could imagine

    "oh well you have had such a healthy trouble free life,we feel your contribution should be now at a different level.....after all your 65 now and the needle of permanent sleep awaits you...but dont worry were all atheist and your actually only going as far as the genetic crop field as fertilizer for our corn...look at it as eternal life"

  4. so do i need a PC3200U stick? I do alot of multitasking so that would be great for more RAM

    Yes you need ?mb of pc3200 DDR400.

    Hmm i thikn im using 133mhz BUS speed.

    Using CPU-z i have found the following;

    in "clocks"

    it says;

    FSB: 133.3MHz

    Bus Speed 533.2Mhz

     

    I cant find any 533.2mhz bits of RAM' date=' so is it 133.3Mhz then?[/quote']

    You need ?mb of pc133 sdram

     

    The two RAM sticks need to be compatable with each other... e.g. if one is pc3200 the other must be.

    mmm...Not really as long as its DDR......if you have two different sticks in all it means is your whole ram runs at the lower speed eg pc2700(not that you would want to)...I think your motherboard should also have 2 slots for Sdram.

     

    If you've got a Dell' date=' you should be able to go on line, input your tag or serial number, request 1024 meg of ram (or whatever). They'll know exactly what you need.[/quote']

    Yes usually the comp version is printed on the tower eg dell 4550...you also get manuals and a print out of all relevant serials(if by any chance you dont have this all serials are on the back of the tower case)

  5. What is that supposed to be?

    Firstly a welcome!

    Followed by actually reading his blog and understanding his interests.Why do you feel the need to question me over a greeting?

    I think your stepping outside the bounds of admin,are we mere members not allowed to greet new members.Perhaps i should ask permission from you first Sayo!!

  6. Yes of course you can just get a stick of 128mb to go with your 256mb but really the price of ram now(which you know changes daily up /down)and the difference between them is marginal,so i recommend you spend the few extra pounds and buy 512mb to go with your 256mb memory.

  7. For XP and gaming you really need more ram,1024mb.

    You wont actually feel the benefits,but your computer will.Anyway ram is inexpensive at the moment so buy some.

    I dont like infinion,crucial is better but the maker isnt relevant. Anyway you have already said what you need ;

    another stick of 512mb PC3200 DDR400-400mhz bus(this is motherboard bus speed)

    Jeez i remember 32mb sdram pc100

  8. One cannot fully comprehend how vast the universe is,there's alot of empty space.Distances of systems are so far away from each other they become irrelevant.Which has its benefits especially to our little planet.No other star system is near enough to supernova and render our planet a charcoal quarry for alien pencil manufacturers.

  9. I *do* think that' date=' after his death, people have been blindly ignoring his faults, while exaggerating his achievements and merits. To the point that I heard him credited with "the fall of communism."

     

    Like I said, I'm not saying he wasn't generally a good old geezer, but, in my eyes, by distorting who he was and what he did (even in a favorable way), you're doing a dis-service to his memory.[/quote']

    I just dont think the pope was the bee all and end all. He lived to a good age and had wanted for nothing, in short he had a good life. Mother Theresa on the other hand was a totally different kettle of fish, and deserved all the love and praise she got for dedicating her life to helping people of all walks of life.

    Everyones entitled to opinion however its usually beneficial if one actually reads something factual about the man in question.

    Mokele perhaps you should take on board what you yourself posted and apply it to yourself.Its very apt.

    Perhaps it would be a good thing to read these peoples bio's.I certainly would not say Karol Jozef Wojtyla had a 'good life'.

    His resume of achievements since 1978 should rightly be acknowledged and lauded.

    Its fitting one mentions mother Teresa as if supplanting the Popes goodness.Ive seen alot of criticism of the popes views over population(abortion ,human rights etc)as extreme.However people fail to realise that M.Teresa was a catholic nun,her motive for her work was of proselytization for religious fundamentalism, for the most extreme interpretation of Catholic doctrine.So if your cynical of the pope and citing mother Teresa then one really is misguided.

  10. lmao....heres one

    A large town in West Yorkshire was stolen last night.

    Police are looking for Leeds.

    --------

    Sayonara wanted to raise money for Labour party funds, and on being told that there was a fortune in horse racing, decided to purchase one and enter it in the races. However at the local auction, the going price for was very high that he ended up buying a donkey instead. He figured that since he had it, he might as well go ahead and enter it in the races. To his surprise, the donkey came in third!

     

    The next day the local paper:

     

    SAYO'S ASS SHOWS

     

    Sayo was so pleased with the donkey that he entered it in the race again, and this time it won.

     

    The paper read:

     

    SAYONARA'S ASS OUT IN FRONT

     

    His wife was so upset with this kind of publicity that she ordered Sayo not to enter the donkey in

    another race.

     

    The paper headline read:

     

    WIFE SCRATCHES SAYONARA'S ASS

     

    This was too much for WIFE. So she ordered Sayo to get rid of the donkey. So he decided to give it to Phi for All.

     

    The paper headline the next day read:

     

    PHI TAKES SAYO'S ASS

     

    Followed by another on the next day:

     

    NOW PHI HAS BEST ASS IN TOWN

     

    All the Gov leaders got very upset at this kind of publicity. They informed Phi that he would have to get rid of the donkey, so she sold it to a farmer for £500 .

     

    Next day the headline read:

     

    PHI SELLS HIS ASS FOR £500

     

    This was too much for Mr Blair,so he ordered Phi to buy back the donkey lead it to the fields where it could run wild and free.

     

    Next day, the headline in the paper read:

     

    PHI for ALL, ANNOUNCES HIS ASS IS WILD AND FREE

  11.  

    good try however!

    likewise kudos to newtonian who' date=' however, was working on a different puzzle since he differed in his understanding of the rules.

    :D[/quote']

    Somehow i fail to see how i didnt follow the rules,which you clearly stated one letter at a time to make a new legitimate word.You made no mention of not re-arranging letters.

    So i declare im the winner!

    So eat my shorts Martin :P

  12. Back up please. You still haven't addressed the complexity of the Burgess Shale fauna. How did they acquire complex anatomy without going down the 'hard route'?

    Also' date=' a genuine plea to enhance my understanding: could you avoid words that don't exist (e.g. logistacal!) and make more use of punctuation. You may have something important to say, but your signal to noise ratio is weak.[/quote']

    Ouch...Metatron post's are very complex,and require understanding and knowledge of the subject he is discussing.It is apparent not many can follow.

    I expected others to stoop to this kind of post,unfortunately its embarrasing coming from one i respect.Its totally out of character of you Ophi.

     

    EDIT Metratron someone requested a photograph of your find,which you havent provided yet.I believe its important that others view your artifact,for obvious reasons.

  13. lol Phi.

     

    Coral was very distraught at the fact that she had not had a date or any sex in quite some time.

    She was afraid she might have something wrong with her, so she decided to seek the medical expertise of a sex therapist.

    Her doctor recommended that she see the well known Chinese sex therapist, Dr. Chang. So she went to see him.

    Upon entering the examination room, Dr. Chang said, "OK, take off all your crose."

    Coral did as she was told.

    "Now, get down and craw reery, reery fass to odderside of room." Again,

    Coral did as she was instructed.

    Dr. Chang then said, "OK, now craw reery, reery fass back to me." So

    she did..

    Dr.Chang shook his head slowly and said, "Your probrem vewy bad. You

    haf Ed Zachary Disease. Worse case I ever see. Dat why you not haf sex or dates."

    Worried, Coral asked anxiously, "Oh my God, Dr. Chang, what is Ed Zachary Disease?"

     

    Dr. Chang sighed deeply, and replied, "Ed Zachary Disease is when your face look ed zachary like your ass"

  14. that is very good.

     

    I do not know any shorter path.

     

    the theoretical minimum would be 5 moves' date=' and you did it in 7 moves (so the list of words is 8 long)

     

    I personally have never seen anyone do it in fewer moves. but maybe we should wait a day or so and see if anyone (including you) can better it[/quote']

    Martin you may have missed post 24 then....I think one of our respected members has already blown everyone away with the minimum moves possible.

    :eek:

  15. A paper bag goes to the doctors for an examination, & is told to come back 1 week later for the results.

     

    Sure enough, he returns,

     

    Doctor: "I've got some rather serious news for you"

     

    Paper Bag: "What is it?".

     

    Doctor: "Well, the thing is, you've got Hepatitis B."

     

    Paper Bag: "How can that be? i've never been near any infected blood."

     

    Doctor: "Well, your mother must have been a carrier.

  16. A bus carrying only ugly people is involved in a crash & everyone on the bus dies.

     

    They all go to Heaven & considering the hard life they have suffered being ugly & the horrific circumstances of their deaths, God decides to grant them all one wish each before they enter Paradise.

     

    They're all lined up & God asks the 1st one what their wish is to be.

     

    Syntax answers, "I want to be beautiful," & with that God snaps his fingers & the wish is granted.

     

    Hellbender next in line sees this & says "I want to be beautiful too."

     

    Another snap of His fingers & they too become beautiful.

     

    This goes on for a while but when God is halfway down the line, the last person Sayo starts laughing. When he is nearing the end of the line Sayo is rolling around on the floor, shrieking with laughter.

     

    Finally, God gets to the end of the line & asks the hysterical Sayonara what his wish is to be.

     

    Sayo eventually catches his breath, & says: "Make 'em all ugly again"

  17. Hectar your monitor has a refresh rate within ranges of 60-85 hz.You may be able to see this if you look away from the monitor slightly.

    Although this is fast enough that the eye doesnt really notice,it is significant and causes eye strain and headaches in some people.Unfortunate but you perhaps should take more breaks away from your computer.

    (if you have ever seen on television a tele or computer you can see this constant flickering)hope that helps.

  18.  

    children should disobey when their parents are in the "wrong". parents can be "wrong' date='" and children can indeed pick up on their parents' mistakes. they should question their parents from time to time; it challenges their parents to substantiate their stances and if they cannot do so, then it is obvious that the parent is in the wrong. otherwise, the child gains a deeper understanding of why they are being treated in such a manner.

     

    children should not be made slaves for their parents. children should not be servants. children should be their own individual selves, guided by their parents. as they grow older, they learn more and more on their own through experience. they should ask questions, and do from early on in childhood. why then can they not question their parents? the least a parent could do is listen and respond.[/quote']

    See i agree with most of this post.Mainly because its everyday life in the Newtonian household.Every child asks questions and goes on and on (sometimes i find myself in competition with my two yr old daughter"can i have choc choc...no..yes..no.yes.no.yes"! she never gives me any :-( ).

    And of course clever 9yr olds come home from school and ask "dad how many days does it take for the earth to go round the sun".So yes they know we can be wrong.But this is wholly different to this statement

     

    children should disobey when their parents are in the "wrong".

     

    "put that gun down James or you are in big trouble"

    "no you smacked my butt for breaking the window,when i told you it was tommy tucker..and you are wrong"

    BANG!!!!!!

  19. Hellbender perhaps i wasnt clear.I didnt mean to infer atheist people always talk BS.

    When people are discussing religion or their religious denomination in the relevent thread,do you not find it counter productive that a member who has no belief in a god whatsoever should post in the religious thread "bah god doesnt exist,no need for a god prove it you can't,prove it prove it..."

    Why would an atheist want to post in a religious thread anyway? neither party is going to be converted,it appears to me the only intention is to antagonise.

    This is why the section has been dropped from other forums.
