No, there are really very few ways they can do that to one of MY computers, feel sorry for you windoze guys though. Yep, you go right ahead and keep thinking that way. Times they are a changing. http://www.wptv.com/dpp/news/science_tech/computer-viruses-trojans-malware-ransomware-botnets-web-attacks-are-soaring Microsoft Windows PCs remain by far the largest targets for malicious cyberattacks, but hackers are targeting other devices too, including Apple Macintosh computers and mobile phones. "Attacks that we've traditionally seen on PCs are now making their way to other devices," said Vincent Weafer, head of McAfee Labs. "This report highlights the need for protection on all devices that may be used to access the Internet." Apple got a wake-up call in the second quarter. The company had advertised that Macs didn't get viruses, but a virus called "Flashback" changed all that. The scary piece of malware, which infected hundreds of thousands of Macintosh computers, looked like a normal Adobe Flash browser plug-in but stole thousands of usernames and passwords. As Macintosh grows its PC market share -- it is now the third-largest computer platform in the United States -- hackers have increasingly targeted Apple computers. This summer, the company scaled back its security claims.

Nice salmon chaos. Where are you, California, Oregon or Washington?

A couple night ago I heard about this on the news. I didn't think much of it until it happened to my sister-in-law yesterday. Here is how it works. There are many ways a hacker can introduce malware or a virus into your computer. It doesn't have to be through a scam email that asks you to click on a bogus link. Sometimes it can simply happen by visiting a web site, which then embeds a cookie into your PC, and that cookie can be the trigger to send your PC to other web sites. A pop up box appears on your screen. It may look like it belongs to your anti-virus software, it may look like it's from Microsoft, and what they all have in common is that they tell you to click here to fix your computer. Once you do, you are fucked. My sister-in-law received a phone call yesterday from a woman claiming to be from Microsoft tech support. She said that they were notified that her computer had a virus and she could help her get rid of it. She was skeptical and said no thanks then hung up. She then walked over to her computer and the cursor was moving around by itself, accessing files and deleting everything. As she watched a box popped up and said "Will you talk with us now?". The phone rang again, this time it was a man. He wanted $500 to restore her computer and stop the attack. She hung up and called the police. They said there was nothing they could do. The man called back and said that he was in front of her house. My brother looked out front, nobody there. Now he's calling back threatening to kill her if she doesn't pay. Called the police again, they tried to trace the number but they said it's probably a stolen cell phone and can't be traced. Basically, they're fucked. The hacker has deleted everything from their PC, family pictures, important files, has the passwords to every web site they use, and has their home phone number. All they can do is either trash the computer or completely wipe it and hope no trace of the virus remains behind, and they must cancel all of their credit cards and change their home phone number. I'll be the first to admit it, my sister-in-law is an idiot. She has her life out there on facebook which included here email address and phone number. This is probably why the hacker chose her in the first place because she wasn't careful about how public her information was. I've heard some instances of people getting emails from Homeland Security or the FBI claiming that they have child porn on their computer and for a couple thousand bucks they will get rid of it for you. If you say no, they actually have the ability to place the illegal files on your computer and call law enforcement. If you think your computer has been compromised or if there is an active attack happening while you are watching, un-plug it and shut down your network. If they can take over your PC they can also get access to other PC's on your home or business network and control them as well. Chances are they can also access your web cam and watch everything you do without your knowledge. Be careful out there.

They're selling what you were doing while you were watching it. Pulled pork.

Happy birthday Captn. Hope you have a great one.

Of course they made a behind the scenes video as well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tW2z-_lh4Us&NR=1&feature=endscreen

Does it matter if that page is one I haven't colored yet?

We all know what the little refers to in Little Old Man. And btw, I was thinking of BB for Big Beefsteak, but then saw this post and didn't want to make other "members" feel inadequate. Your brother sent me a picture of your high school girlfriend.

One more reason to hate Apple. http://gizmodo.com/5945889/some-third%20party-adapters-might-not-work-with-your-new-iphone

If you make your primary weapon a sniper rifle, you get a land mine and two frags, which is why I ALWAYS have my primary weapon as a sniper rifle. The first chance I get I'll drop a mine, and as soon as I hear a trip go off I drop and lay one of my own. Yes I am a trip whore, and damn proud of it.

More to come, I'm just getting warmed up.

A simple FU just won't do for this one. I'll need to do some research and pull in some favors from friends in high places before deciding on the perfect response.

Joe the spawn points aren't an exact circle around any spawn point. I just tested it as well, and if I lay down exactly where I spawned, naturally it won't allow it. If I belly crawl an inch in one direction it allows a trip, but if I belly crawl several feet in a different direction it still won't let me. Not sure how the limits are set, but obviously some people test those limits regularly. Sparty, agreed it should be discouraged but some don't seem to get the message.

A fopaux? So somebody that does it once should know better than to do it again?

There is a mod in place that prevents you from placing a trip precisely on a spawn point. But on some maps that protection area might be just inches away from where you spawned and the distance varies from map to map. Some fuckers (who shall remain nameless) are very good at placing trips exactly at the edge of the protection zone and your ass gets blown up the second you take one step off of the spawn point. I (and most others) consider these spawn trips and frown upon the practice. Those same "nameless" players will also place trips on the only exit from a spawn area within a room or enclosed area, which is also considered a spawn trip and greatly frowned upon. Once you take more than a couple steps away from a spawn point you are fair game, and trips entering or exiting portals is perfectly fine too. Trips and mines are one of my favorite ways to kill people, especially when I put them in places where people love to camp and where they least expect them.

Happy Birthday Viper! I KILL YOU!

It would have been a lot better if he was checking to see if they were wearing panties.

It was called sarcasm Damage, perhaps you're familiar with it. Yes of course they are lovely. The "joke" was directed at Terry. As long as we're on the subject of lovely "ladies", try to guess which of these women were born that way. I'll give you a hint, none of them were. Terry gave me access to his private stash of pictures.

I consider them collateral damage for being in a picture with you.

2012 Manitoba Trans-sexual Convention. Only one person in this photo was born a woman and now he's a man.

This one is more interesting. You need to turn the volume up high to hear the sound it makes.

It was a diversionary tactic. He got us all excited with the promise of not being around very often, and since he made the anouncement I've seen him here more than ever. FU Terry.

Agreed. Sherm needs some FU'ing here. He gets off way too easy.
