Some of our infected systems are getting the error "svchost.exe has generated errors and will be closed by windows" when opening outlook 2000. In addition, the control panel icons are in 2 rows with the scroll bar about a third of the way across the window, the remaining area of control panel window is blank white space. Add Remove programs is all messed up, can't be used, nor can "Computer Management" though "Users and Passwords" seems to work correctly. These systems are infected but so far, running the removal tool and the RPC patch does not fix these symptoms.
Is this a seperate virus, "part 2" of the payload, or what? Anyone else ran into this and have a fix?
They stopped the EQ Auctings? Funny, 50 or so websites must not have gotten the news.
There are people making $100,000+ a year selling plat, items, and characters on EQ. Sad, really.
if not all of his points.
I think "smart people" are "unpopular" because they realize how unimportant "popularity" is. I think intelligent people see through the illusions of popularity, idolism of movie and rock stars, and pop culture in general, and are more prone to simply being themselves because it is the only logical thing to do (since you can't be someone else.)
Most "popular" people are nothing more than followers of the trend. The rare few are the "trendsetters" and lead the flock with charisma or raw good looks. I've known many "popular" people who were far from average intelligence, but they are not the norm for high-IQ types.
I mean, if you are a "nerd" try to imagine what you would have to do to be "popular" -- listen to the right music of your clique, wear only clothes of brands a through f, keep up on trendy catch-phrases. I can understand the lure of those with athletic ability and why they would be popular, yet "nerds" -- or at least myself -- know that such ability is meaningless in the modern world, other than to prove your superiority over others -- which again to most of higher intelligence is meaningless, since there is "always a bigger fish" and we are well aware of that.
I think nerds are what they are because they are too smart to buy into and follow along with a culture of mindless sheep, which is what 90% of american people are. We refuse to be drones, to be statistics, to be so easily classified -- not that we really escape it moreso than anyone else does.
Though, I have noticed of late that geeks often start their own little clique's online, where if you don't know x languages and dual boot linux, then man you just are not cool...;)
Someone convert this to.mpg or something. Quicktime won't let you just download a.exe and my firewall won't let me run their automatic installer. So I can't watch this till I get home.
Stupid flippin apple software god (bitch whine moan complain etc.)/sigh
Back in the day, news of Meteor Showers and such came to me only via PBC late nights. Don't recall the show, but it was just a 10 Minute Stargazer's news session with a very odd little man as the host.
Anyone else remember planning your nights on the rooftop with a telescope to this guy?

LOL That quote used to be mine, and it is WEASELS not ferrets. Not sure who I got it from but I've seen if floating around for a while now.

Bah. Have you seen Firefly yet? That show is very cool, even if it is produced by the same folks that do Buffy and Angel (*bleh*)
