Lolo has written a pretty good MySpace blog entry about this, along with some removal instructions (in the comments and in my post also). One of this guy's hobbies is exposing MySpace scammers. He actually predicted about a week ago that an exploit like this would happen. Friend him if you have a MySpace. I can't tell who came up with this information first, Lolo or these guys but Lolo may have gotten there first. Either way you need to read his blog posts if you use MySpace...
Please note that you can be infected by this virus by simply viewing an infected profile. It doesn't matter what browser you use, I was using Firefox 2.0 with AdBlockPlus and a decent filterset updater and was infected. I DO NOT believe it steals your password without going to the fake login page. So if your profile gets infected you are probably fine simply removing it
Here's how to remove it:
Use the FIND command or CTRL F to find the word LOGIN.
It starts with this line of code... I have stripped out the first "
style type="text/css" div table td font { display: none } div div table tr td a.navbar, div div table tr td font { display: none } .testnav { position:absolute; top: 136px; left:50%; _top: 146px
The code was at the very end/bottom of my ABOUT ME section.
It then continues with an obvious line of code for the menu choices. I stripped out the code and the page is fine... FOR NOW!
To truly protect yourself you need to adblock the offending Quicktime object - or better yet all.mov files.
Does it bother anyone else that the data in question is 21 years old? 1985 seems like an eternity ago - this from a guy born in 1982. I'm not a statistician or a doctor, but couldn't there have been a myriad of things that happened in between 1985 and now? Furthermore, if you drink coffee, most people I know drink at least 2 cups daily so I'm not sure you can draw any meaningful distinctions between 1 and 2 cups. Also, what about other caffeine sources like soda?
The second configuration comprises the test system we built for this project. The Koolance cooling rig offers outstanding cooling, which indicates that clock rates above 4 GHz should be possible for such a system (in earlier testing, we achieved stable operation at 4.1 GHz using a different water-cooled system).
By 2nd system, they mean the $1200 one. "A different system" could mean anything using that same processor.
Okay, notice on the first page, there are 2 systems, a cheap one and a $1200 one. The $1200 one was what they actually built and OC'd. Several things here will limit their OC. First, cheap "550W" power supply that puts out ~350w at the most and likely has unstable rails. All power supplies that come with cases are shit unless they're Antec Enlight Enermax or Fortron. Second, noname motherboard. Bad, bad, bad idea if you want a anywhere near stable system. For the more expensive system,who in their right mind would pick Gigabyte for an overclocking mobo? DFI, Asus, or MSI would all be far better choices.
Next, that X1300 is godawful. Lastly, I disagree with water cooling. A thermalright XP-120 with a ~80 CFM fan and decent thermal grease would provide very similar thermal performance, albeit louder.
We ordered a laptop battery just last week and got it DHL shipped to our door in 3 business days from the time of placing the order. Maybe we get special treatment due to being a reseller.
Dells out of the box come with 63 (!) Processes running - at least those i've worked on in the last 3-4 months. I regularly order and install new Dells and the first thing we do is uninstall Dell Support, Google Desktop, disable Musicmatch, the inane installshield updater, and McAfee. McAfee can't even be uninstalled without rebooting into safe mode or manually killing 6 or 7 processes. Getting rid of McAfee alone helps a ton.
All of this brings the running processes down to a more reasonable level - about 43 or so. At home my gaming A64 box has about 33 at startup, including Antivirus, sound mixer, Daemon Tools, Peerguardian, Nvidia applet. If you know anything about computers and buy a Dell, i STRONGLY recommend you format the hard drive as soon as you get it, unless you need the shitty Wordperfect Office, "edutainment", and CD burning software. This takes too long to be practical for us, but it's the best way to wring some more free ram and hard disk space out of them.
10th season has already been confirmed and is in production.
Gateworld Season 10. Also, the entire original cast is still there with the exception of Richard Dean Anderson. Sam and Daniel were gone for about 2 episodes at the beginning of S9.
Mac OS X is nowhere near 100% open source. Carbon, Cocoa, and Classic, the programming APIs, are all closed source. Java and Quartz aren't either for that matter. So what's left? A kernel and a bunch of command line utilities and X? What's the point - why not just use Linux or xBSD.
They used a notebook with an intel i915g chipset with integrated graphics. Only Intel chipsets support 3d acceleration at the moment, but they also have it running on an Athlon 64 X2, with Nvidia Graphics and chipset (no 3d acceleration).
Well, if you're a sadist and don't want a usably fast system, follow M$'s example and write large parts of the Operating System in Visual Basic, Java, or your $INTERPRETED_LANGUAGE of choice. If you don't believe, me download the Win2k source and see for yourself. Then all you have to do is write the interpeter in assembly/C/C++.
And if you're dumb enough to do all that, chlorinate the gene pool by removing yourself from it.
It also has the distinction of being the ugliest, least elegant, most complex theory ever invented, with totally arbitrary quantum numbers, numbers of particles, and other insanity. There is no rhyme or reason whatsoever behind quantum mechanics. It simply is and we have no idea why or how. We have no idea what it means as far as physical reality. Don't even get me started about parallel universes, sum-over-histories, and other lunacy. Quantum mechanics *can't* be the ultimate theory of the universe. It's totally counter-intuitive that God's left hand works differently than his right. God isn't schizophrenic.
The only thing quantum mechanics has going for it is that it's unquestionably correct, mathematically speaking.
Oh noes A Celeron! It might have *gasp* half the cache! Centrino is just a buzzword for a Pentium-M Processor with a certain kind of intel wireless chipset. Big fucking deal. And guess what else? Celeron-M processors are exactly identical to Pentium Ms other than the cache and clock speeds. Same pipeline, same architecture, same power-saving features. Same great performance per-clock compared to the P4. Celeron Ms are more than fast enough for people just wanting to do office stuff. They're a perfectly fine value processor - not a high-performance one - and certainly not something to be avoided like the plague.

Never mind, I am behind the times, the XP-120 is no longer made. I meant the Ultra-120 heatsink:

Maybe McCay from Atlantis' fantasy came true. Or maybe that Carter that visited him was Replicarter.

Intel's pulled this trick before too. The P4 core is called NetBurst, and it makes the intarwebs really fly!

Oh yeah, the last 2 digits indicate increased performance within a given series (generally 200mhz).
The First number is how many processors in a SMP configuration this chip supports. All dual core processors have numbers in increments of 5, and all single cores have numbers in increments of 2 (last 2 digits). Single Core and dual core processors start at x40 and x65 respectively. http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/ProductInforma tion/0,,30_118_8796_9240,00.html?redir=CPOS14

I'm confused about lightning - is it the new Mozilla PIM or is Sunbird? What's the difference and is one based off the other? http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/sunbird.h tml

Perhaps you should look at these two links before you post another ill-informed post bashing an intel processor.
