Always attack never defend has become the new debate style in American politics. This was brought on by news commentators making outrageous claims and forcing the opposition to defend and legitimize the claim.
Cry about it all you want, but instead of attacking people you don't like, try defending the ones you do. You just get pushed around by bad logic, strawmen, and people that really don't care if they lie.
To bring this thread further off topic.. how many gray hairs in your beard do you need before it becomes a literal "graybeard"?
I discovered I had exactly 2 gray beard hairs a few months ago, was pretty excited! Gives me another credential for using at my site as the older and experienced guy... even though my coworkers are the same age as me? Being the only Unix admin helps of course too.
How bad is our legal system when Kratzer can lie cheat and steal, then require others to spend large amounts of time and money to defend their creation?
Thankfully justice is achieved in the end... but it's not even over, theres still motions in the court system. Put this guy in jail already.
Lux is a great Risk clone I've probably put 20+ hours in. Good map community and competitive online atmosphere... at least when I was into it a few years back.
I was stationed there for 4 years; I think that the navy and Virginia set it up like that to fuck the sailors.
Things like, 1 year minimum seperation before divorce, because the navy requires you to pay out half your paycheck to your spouse while married. Or the 20%+ interest rates, no lemon laws, as the navy will dock your pay directly to pay those dealerships.
My favorite is the annual car inspection law, which requires you to go to a mechanic to see if theres anything wrong with your car. What a conflict of interest
to sum up, I hope the navy shuts down their norfolk base and the entire norfolk, portsmouth, va beach, newport news, hampton towns burn to the ground. But I'm not bitter.
I spent an hour today at lunch trying to remove spyware from my 13yo cousins computer.
With the reboots, multiple programs (lavasoft and spybot) updated, still couldn't get rid of pop-up windows. This computer hasn't been online yet a week.:(
The above is the best solution I've seen so far, but for the access level he has (dhcp server only) here is my suggestion:
If the dhcp server hands out IP's to everyone, find the mac address of the offending computer, give it a set dhcp address off the routing tables so the problem stays internal, change the dns server to a dummy one that points to a how-to-fix page. Have a script that cleans out this file every night at midnight. There are many ways to automate this so you would'nt have to do any typing, like the above posters method.
I must stand up for the users, As I am a very sympathetic admin. Realize that users don't mean to install viruses on there PC, and they have more important things to worry about then computer security (gasp!) Please don't punish them as many posters suggest, disable, but make it easy to fix. Using this oppurtunity for teaching lessons will be seen as a petty attempt to obtain power, which is no no.
You can almost see some kid saying "lolololol, i trolled you i am leet trollerrr!!!" to his computer screen.
Really, do people think they are trolling when they copy and paste these mindless Netcraft reports?
I'm sure popsykle is just as tired of seeing "* is dying" as everyone else is, and got the morbib curiousity to reply to one. Kinda like when you seriously reply to an obvious email scam you've see hundreds of times in your inbox.

Still fire it up on occasion to kill bots.

Don't worry, I have a plan.
