I once saw an article seriosly comparing virus writers to Pyro's. They said that true pyrotechnicalmaniac's(the ones with the "brain disorder" which IMO is probably just an excuse to have fun) like to see things explode and burn, not to cause danger or damage, but just because it looks cool. They said this was the case with some virus writers. I personally disagree, but it does sound half reasonable.
My desktop machine has 512 megs. I can play whatever game I want on it. It runs FS-2002 Full Graphics all on with no diffuculty. It'll run Visual Studio.NET which is a major resource hog, with 3d graphics software at the same time. I can make intense 3d models. The only limiting factor is my graphics card so sometimes it gets jerky, but I never use up all of my ram. I can even turn my virtual Ram file off. I can't think of anything someone would need to do besides web-hosting that would need over 512 megs.
I agree. Companies should try to catch user who use illegal software. If your worried about it buy it. I know, people will say, if its ok to do that then they'll use other forms of spyware. Its not true though. If restrained to this circumstance its fine with me. If it wasn't for software pirates, companies would spend more time on features.
LOL, If cell phones ran on Windows, we'd have an international crisis, and some primitive species of Ape would take over the world. I love old technology. When Windows breaks down, I have my non-failing copy of dos that fits on a floppy. Too bad my floppy drive broke:-(
Notice how people can go to the store and buy a rifle but instead build a potato cannon. Its the fact that it takes skill. Its something called a hobby. For example, some programmers program a program for fun when they could just download an open source version anyway. Think about it...
I don't see why all these people say Macs are easier too use. PC's got better Dual Xeon benchmakrs then Dual G5 benchmarks with the unbiased Nasa test if I remember. If you install Linux, its just as stable as OS X, and if you have it installed with Mandrake linux, its just as easy to use. Gnome should be easy enough for people. It costs less(free OS), and has better performance. Teachers keep confusing the terms PC and Windows. My computer teacher isn't very smart either somtimes. Always talking about how unstable PC's are.
It seems like a variation or something similar. It activated the DCom service(which the Blaster worm uses), then it probably tries to download the full version because I get the 60 second RPC shutdown message. And, maybe bcause after getting my log files, finally today, Microsoft Support e-mails me back saying infact that it was this worm.
You should learn a lesson from this:
1. Don't use Anonymous cowerd because it is what is says "cowardly" unless for some odd reason you can't register an e-mail address.
2. This is slashdot, not sweardot. Most people here don't appreiceate random and senseless swearing. Stop drinking
3. You especially don't call someone a dumb**** in the first place. Its a stupid insult. Proves your probably 10 or 11. Second, you especially don't if you have no proof for your case. I think it more applies to me. It was the same worm(even microsoft identified it)
4. Calm down a little. Your scaring people methinks
Get this worm a couple weeks ago. Back then, nobody new about it. Not even MS-Tech support. I formated. The thing had disabled Ctrl+Alt+Delete, msconfig, and even made it so I couldn't boot safe mode!
The SIO2PC Cable looks interesting also. If I get a computer upstairs, I will definatly try that out. Also, the reason I was thinking cassette was because I thought it would be easy to wire at first.
Wow, that looks interesting. I don't have a computer in the same room as the TV, but we are probably getting a Dell put in there soon or else I will get a small TV.

Insightfull ;-). I'm not shure if the mod read that 100%. It looks more Funny to me but whatever people like...

If they make it like the human brain to you think it will have the biting stage? I hope they don't give it teeth. MOMMY MOMMY! MY ROBOT BIT ME! :-)
I hope this isn't in any way related to sponge bob :-)

I got the worm within 3 days of formatting. Call that luck

You've got to be kidding?! I can't imagine that ever being Racist. I mean, "YOU PEOPLE!"
From I'm being told, I guess I'm going to either buy an Atari Floppy off eBay an SIO2PC cable as those seem the best options. Thank you everone.
As far as what I'm programming, I've got a 65XE with Atari Basic(what I'm gonna use) built into the ROM. Thanks for the info BTW

I guess it couldn't be that simple if the same port worked with printers and floppies too. Thank's for the port map though.
LOL, Typo, I meant "I started programming then I realized that it didn't have a harddrive"
