These days, nothing symbolizes Easter and Spring quite like your child throwing up marshmallow peeps. It's now a tradition rooted deep into the grain of our culture.
It said our, not your.
And people call us idiots. Apparently your country, with the majority of its citizens being intelligent; doesn't only let the brightest people use the Internet, either. Apparently it lets all of the dumbasses use it, too.
In order to keep my fans standing in my case, I used folded up strips of paper taped to the side of the mounting ports to keep it standing so I could move the case around and it would stay standing up.

Sorry, wrong answer. I've been running XP since the day it was released and the number of worms/viruses I've had is exactly ZERO.
Blatant lie.
Unless, of course, your computer has never been on the internet, had a disc put into it before, etc.
There aren't many computers that have not had a virus since WinXP was released... Especially if they run Windows XP.
Windows XP has been hit by tons of viruses, worms, and the like since it's existence. Even Windows Update itself had been infected with the MSBlast worm at one time.
So I think it's safer to say: ' [...] and the number of worms/viruses I've had is exactly ZERO... that I know of. '
2.) Export registry into 40374 files and scatter them around hard drive for no reason.
A _major_ exaggeration.
3.) Remember to name those files random things, like trontabs
Well, yeah, but you'll get that on any OS.
4.) Use a program to then scrable those letters
uhhh...
4.1) Remember to make all folders in the root only 3 characters long with no thought to human organization what-so-ever
Well how hard is 'bin' and 'usr' and 'etc' to decipher? Even the dreaded four-letter 'boot.'
5.) Downgrade to Windows 3.1 to get that box window feel (and jaggy-font feel)
Uhhh, there are much nicer-looking *nix boxes than Windows boxes, considering you have several different WM's to choose from, even supporting transparency & translucency.
The fonts are antialiased. >__>
6.) Get rid of your printer driver and use the standard linux one. All your ~ are now @'s
Well that's a fault/laziness on your part.
7.) Remember to type in lowercase
Nonsense.
8.) Create batch commands JUST to copy a file!
More nonsense.
9.) Run only text games because your graphics card doesn't have a driver for Linux
Depends on if your graphics card.
10.) Oops! You can't use the backspace key without editing a file in VI, which you dont know how to use anyway
Well, I have to admit, VI isn't exactly my favorite. That's why there is alternatives, dozens of them.
11.) Realize Windows is easier and get your XP cd from trash.
Well, some people just are.. better equipped for Windows.

I just bought a bootable AVIXE 512MB flash drive for 129RM ( about $40USD ) yesterday.
Servers that sur--
Always make your own encryption program. And encrypt it.
Why not just save money and paper by writing on things as you go by them?
It's not like you can read it anyway.
when one of the devices exploded in woodland...
Yep, that's a Star Wars related incident, alright.
So who would they sue when people start downloading movies off of KFM's_HaXx0r3d_br41n-v1.0?
And what would be the filesize of this 'brain'?
My Windows XP was obviously pirated, is a pirated version as secure as the genuine version?
Would using a virtual keyboard stop a keylogger?
I'm sure it wouldn't matter if the keylogger picked up data from forms, though.
Probably will pick up the keys from a virtual keyboard, too, though.
I just realized how many times I used the word 'standing'
In order to keep my fans standing in my case, I used folded up strips of paper taped to the side of the mounting ports to keep it standing so I could move the case around and it would stay standing up.
A study of 100,000 pupils in 31 countries around the world has concluded that using computers makes kids dumb.
Studies show that RTFA makes you dumb.
You know, since I've had a computer for years now and I'm graduating with honors and going to a University and getting a degree in Computer Science.
Much like the basketball team, going to a University to get a degree in.. Basketball Science?
We should all just link our PSP's and launch a counterattack if need be.
The incident happened 2 years ago, but has become public this week because the lawsuit was just filed by the girl, now 19.
a freakin' joystick into the keyboard?
Sounds scary to me.

Testing it out on myself I've found that:
It does not show up in the process list.
It can be installed in any folder on the user's PC.
It is password protected.
It is difficult to remove without the password.
and this was an easy to find, free keylogger.
There is no real way to be absolutely safe and be connected to millions of other PC's at the same time.
Exactly.
No one antivirus can detect every single virus and their variants.
There are to date over 1 000 000 viruses on the internet, but if you're positive you haven't gotten a single one ever...

No you fool!
GUI(R)(TM)(C) is a trademark of Microsoft(TM)(R)(C)!
Hell, "DS" isn't even really an acronym, it's the actual name of the system: Nintendo DS.
I think it stands for ' Dual Screen. '
