Detox Clinic Opening for Video Game Addicts

Blue6 writes "An addiction center is opening Europe's first detox clinic for game addicts, offering in-house treatment for people who can't leave their joysticks alone. Video games may look innocent, but they can be as addictive as gambling or drugs, and just as hard to kick, says Keith Bakker, director of Amsterdam-based Smith & Jones Addiction Consultants." I'm pretty sure the amount of time I've spent in the world of Azeroth in the past year counts as addiction. Someone tell my parents I still love them, while I mine this ore.

I have my own detox clinic...

I got all these viruses, and I've spent the past 2 days trying to remove them. so far, only my parent's computer is running slightly normal. I had to install a bunch of products and change the settings in my router, but couldn't remember how to make OpenBSD recognize 2 NICs on my system... so i'm a lot behind on figuring out what to do with my old gaming rig (which is totally borked) and my new rig, which still lacks a decent GPU, managed to get a virus while running Ubuntu's live cd (it was an old copy -- only copy i had available) so i'm really behind on getting my backup done... so while i should have at least 2-3 systems back up and running in 2 days, the other 1 will take me a few days longer.

those openBSD guides you find with google really help with configuring the system, but while i was able to figure out ed, i wasn't able to remember something i used to know, it's a common issue with my motherboard, that the kernel only recognizes 1 NIC and i need to type something at the bootloader to configure the kernel to see both my NICs and give them different IRQs... since all my PCs are down, i can't search my archived media, for the answer sigh.

My comment from the last thread pertaining to this bs...

Thank God. I was getting sick of all the drunk gamers on the fucking roads.

Good job.
