Yet Another Windows Worm

kraksmoka writes "MSNBC is reporting that yet another active worm is taking over computers in 115 countries today. 'Antivirus companies were on high alert Thursday after the rapid spread of a new computer worm that includes particularly malicious snooping techniques. Bugbear.B, a variant of a worm released last year, installs keylogging software, back-door software, and in some cases even attempts to control infected computersâ(TM) modems. Some of the wormâ(TM)s functions are designed to specially target financial institutions.' Yummy!"

    Grotesque, greasy pale water oozed around in Arbuckleâ(TM)s washing machine as he washed his socks. They were soaked with semen so he decided to put a double dose of orc feces and leather belts to make them greasy and smelly like an orc butt. âoeNow to add the finishing touch!â Arbuckle said. He then took out his socks from his washing machine and chucked them in the toilet. The toilet was filled with feces from when Regis had spent the night. After they had absorbed the gay energies, he poured his socks in a vat of orc feces and doused them in OPS. He churned them around until they were greasy, oily, stinky, dirty, leathery and most importantly orcish. âoeAaaah! Fresh socks to fag!â he moaned as he rubbed Essence of Han Solo all over his penile warts. He started fagging his socks when suddenly a testicle slammed against his legs and a howl of many rock guitars blasted Garfield and Odie out of their pink embroidered bed and onto the fireplace. Enhanced DJs walked in the room and threw razor-sharp records at Arbuckleâ(TM)s top hat. It was diced and sliced into many pieces that exploded in a horrible rage of orcish settlers. Then it was all clear! Out of the smoke came none other but the King himself! âoeELVIS! WHAT IN THE NAME OF THE MAKER ARE YOU DOING IN MY SLIMEY HOVEL?â Arbuckle raged as the spirit of Anakin Skywalker fagged out of his foreskin. âoeIâ(TM)ve come for⦠ANCIENTNESS! I SHALL BE THE MOST POWERFUL DJ ALIVE AND ONLY YOU COULD STOP ME BUT ITâ(TM)S TO LATE FOR YOU!!!!!!!! HAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAAA!â the ancient queer screamed as he farted in a vasty rage of overdosed pills and a fried drumstick came out of his butt and slammed against Arbuckleâ(TM)s chest and exploded as the Colonel fagged himself with a bucket of KFC lovinâ(TM). But Arbuckle farted into one of his socks and threw it at the grotesque rock star. It exploded and a horrible moan of DJs flew out of Arbuckleâ(TM)s testicles. âoeItâ(TM)s SWINGINâ(TM) TIME!!!!!â He screamed as he put on his gold chain and DJ eyeglasses while he put on a Hawaiian shirt. He pointed his thumbs at the floor and a moan of dark DJ souls engulfed him. Then Elvis dared look into the shadows. A golden watch glow screamed out and suddenly the new DJ Arbuckle swung out of the shadows on a grape vine and hit Elvis in the head with a lucky gold horseshoe. Then he pounced on his cock and shoved his pocket microphone up his butt. Then Garfield joined in the slaughter. He shoved his tail in his crack until it built up energy from the noble gasses in his ass and the he released it as a cork tree spear hurdled out and pierced Elvisâ(TM)s knee guards. âoeOOOOWWW!!!! Noooo!O!Oooo!oO!o!OO!O!O!OO!O!!Oâ(TM) He screamed as many copies of The Never-ending Story flew out of his silver locket and a rain of awful DJ cocks fell from the sky while awful dusty blue energies pelted him and tore of his clothes. Then Arbuckle focused and in a grotesque fury of Quake II clones he shot a grape out of his finger that slammed Elvis against a flowerpot and blew up in a vasty froth of Juicy Juice glooms. âoeNooO!O!O!O!O! ADUN! SAVE ME!â Elvis said as he was sucked into the toilet and never seen again.
    THE END YOU FAGGOT!

  3. Switching, may be hard, but it can pay off! or not by danalien · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I switched, from running $ms's OS (used it for about ~10 years; sure I tried linux/bsd/other during that time, but I kept running $ms OS...). Until one day I got so fustraded of the restrictiveness/"things like this" in $ms software, that I backed up my privates files, reformated my HDD, and booted it with a pair of netinstall disks of Debian (of them all I tested during the years, I found it suiting my needs best, specially with KDE3.* coming out and all, *nix for the desktop got on equal-footing with any other established OS out there with this release).

    Sure I ended up with a linux box, but that was just my chooice mostly because I'm a studend (don't got tons of bill's to spend on things like apple does... so cost is something I have to think about). So now you're asking yourself, did I loose any features by going with a free OpenSource over Proprietary? I have to say a firm "no". Going either one, I have to say you will always have the same features, though features sometimes don't operate in the same manor (I mean that sometimes you have to type different commandos, press different things, etc etc, I can't see things like this beeing the same cross-platform in every OS out there; but what really counts is that in the end they accomplish the same thing). Often, by going with a different OS you'll either spend more money or save some, rarelly will both cost equally the same (and yes, I saved and save many bill's with the chooice I made).

    There's one thing I have to make sure people understand, is that OpenSource don't equall "free", or that it allways is free and will be, or that you can't make money by beeing a OpenSource'r, or by going OpenSource. All OpenSource truelly means is that for the price you pay for the OS (or software) you buy is that in that price the source code is also included; you get it free of charge so that if you want to improve your OS (or software) you can do so. Sure there is a licence you have to follow if you want to redistribute the code, but so is is with any other form (may it be propietary or opensource), just read the licence and stick to it. Back to the "prize"-thing, I didn't pay anything for the OS, but since when is that if someone gives away an OS (opensource or not) for free, that every other (opensource or proprietary) there is also "for free"? I think that if you think abouit it you'll somewhat agree with me that it's a case-by-case thing.
    So, if you want to make money by useing something that is OpenSource, and the licence it came with don't go hand-in-hand with what you want, then you can allways write a letter/email to the creator and ask for a custom licence, and so can you with everything out there. Basically if you tend to offer some monetary compensation, I think most software can be licenced with a custom licence for you. Just because OpenSoure'rs don't allwys advertise this, don't mean you can't pop the question, and make an offer.

    As Days pased, I leared all similarites and new functions my new OS had, as weeks pased I meet some setbacks (mostly because my unfamiliraty with the way you operated the OS, have to say, that everyone OS has it's own way to it and that it can take a little while to learn how to fully opperate it. What I found out is that no OS is better or wores then the other when it come to features. It all depended on mostly two things, a) "YOU", the human factor, the more your "into it" the easier things tend to get. b) and the big _one_, "Openness", is a key factor of the OS, and only you can be the judge of than (basically don't care what everyone says, though listen, do your thing and try things out, and at the end make up your own mind). I don't know if openness can be a negative, I find it a positive; and a positive thing I encountered in my chooice is that the creators, behind the softwares/OS I came to run, were extremely open with what was happening with their code, they didn't try to cover things open, you could subscribe to their mailinglists (dev or announcement lists, xor both) and keep up-to-date with what is r
