No, 4chan's message warned about JavaScript Spam: http://www.lurkmore.com/wiki/JavaScript - there has never, to my knowledge, been a warning about general files, because those files don't attack 4chan and so they don't care.
So it must be the truth, cause you never heard. Wait..........what's that on your shirt..............uh sir your retard is showing.
I could understand if they were using old 1680x1050 120Hz+ monitors with proper colour management, but they are using some ancient shit monitors on garbage computers (garbage when they were purchased, even more so now). This is ignoring, of course, that the computer upgrades, to something that will actually run a modern browser or any modern software, is a small fraction of the total upgrades, and that the huge bulk of it is needed for infrastructure upgrades.
Trust him. He knows. He's an intelligent moron, dun gradiated thru the sixth grade and wants to be a double naught spy.
I don't really care if all of the models are properly average in size; most of those girls are currently nasty looking from being so thin, anyway.
In other words, your a huge fat ass retard who likes em big, you self aggrandizing misinformed little child. If you know sooooo much about everything then why is your domain a.us? Mommy and daddy wouldn't spring for a real registrar?
why don't you do slashdot a favor and sell both of your kidneys. That way four people could benefit, the two with kidneys and the other two with iPads.
I'm sure your retardedness will be emptied from them by then as they are for waste disposal.
Hopefully not your retarded post you ill mannered self-proclaimed-intellectual-who-cant-even-get-a-freaking-dot-com-domain-and-had-to-settle-for-the-retarded-dot-us.
Is there nobody monitoring this fucking place for some fucking signs of intelligence??? I try to open up a reasonable discussion about a fucking relevant topic related to the fucking OP and all that comes back are fucking assholes who have nothing to contribute, no facts, no reputation just insult and name calling. What a fucking joke of a forum for any kind of half way decent talking. This should be new for cock smokers rather than news for nerds. Most nerds would love to point out where I fucking screwed up and post some fucking facts rather than just offer personal fucking attacks that have no relevance what-so-ever.
Jesus fucking christ!!!!!
FUCK YOU!!!! You fucking anonymous coward. If you have any fucking facts as I said to the fucking tard above, then by all means let's hear them. Your lack of intelligence is flowing off of your fucking fingers like the jizz on your lips. Now give the fucking keyboard back to your fucking parents and get the fuck to bed you fucking child!
Actually if you read my fucking post you'd fucking see that from testing the fucking software they do not catch the fucking same. Not to mention that you have no fucking clue who the fuck you are fucking talking to. I've been doing this for over 25 fucking years you fucking retard flame jackoff. Why don't' you go and fucking flame some fucking one else's fucking posts. you cocksmoking motherfucker. Jesus fucking christ!!!!!!!!! Is there not one fucking sane person on this fucking planet. If you new anything about the computer industry you shut your fucking pie hole and return your head to the inside of your motherfucking ass.
I've been programming at the machine code level for oh probably before the best part of you dripped down your mama's ass and ended up a brown stain on the fucking mattress. If you have any fucking facts to fucking add to the post, please do so. If all you have to fucking offer are smart aleck comments and insults because your fucking head is devoid of facts from sniffing your own fucking bile from the inside out then by all means do us all a fucking favor and shut the fuck up you motherfucking retard.
It appears you are correct on 'virii'. According to most dictionaries it is a non-word and the correct term is viruses. Though it is used extensively albeit incorrectly in tons of literature and papers about viruses.
And you are correct that no software is 100% but the difference between the top performer and bottom performer is over 40%. Suffice to say that anyone here can take whatever virus samples they may have over to virscan.org and see the black and white data for themselves as to which detects the most. I'll choose to put my trust in the one that has the most detections rather than posts the most removal instructions. As soon as that changes, I'll change just as fast. I have '0' brand loyalty when it comes to security software.
Also bear in mind that if the top 4-5 guys from anonymous are true hackers, I would be more frightened of the custom software they wrote and attached to LOIC that none of the AV detects rather than Zeus which everyone knows about. In about 10 lines of assembly code I could wreak a vast amount of damage on your system and not one AV program will detect it. We're lucky that most of the people putting viruses out in the wild are posers and not real programmer's. That is probably why I feel the bulk of the Symantec article is FUD, especially the irrelevant tie to the megaupload raid.
While rain on your wedding may be unfortunate......it is not ironic:)
. Irony, sarcasm, satire indicate mockery of something or someone. The essential feature of irony is the indirect presentation of a contradiction between an action or expression and the context in which it occurs. - dictionary.reference.com
Actually I was trying to use subtle humor (perhaps a little too subtle as it may be) to insinuate that, IMHO, Symantec knows nothing about virii and has no business writing an authoritative report about the subject, when their AV software does not perform it's ONLY function; detect and prevent the V from infecting the O/S or at the very least it's own code. Especially when the V is months old and has been on most other AV's detection list for months as well. For one of these V's, they have published removal instructions yet their AV software did not detect or prevent infection which is the whole reason we have allowed them to use our CPU cycles & RAM. It would be like Tom (Tom&Jerry) writing an authoritative report on how to build a better mouse trap or the Gorton Fisherman publishing a report about brain surgery, again IMHO.
But rather than just slam Symantec, I tried to offer a nickel's worth of free advice along with my dissension regarding Symantec's "authoritative" report.
I find it quite ironic that Symantec, a company whose "antivirus" utilities allow the most virii into machines (both O/S and the antivirus software itself) and exhibits the most virus-like behavior when you try and remove it, is publishing the report.
I've had quite a few associates with virii over the last 12 months and each and every one of them had either Symantec Internet Security, McAfee or MS Security that were supposedly defending their systems. Every case of infection required a complete O/S reinstall to recover from the damage with the only exception of one client who opted to buy new machines.
FYI, there is a site called virscan.org where you could upload an infected/suspect file and they will run it through a host of antivirus software and provide results of each one. Each of the aforementioned products has been very poor on most of these, especially the EXE's masquerading as PDF's coming in via email.
I really don't have a horse in the race, but based on results from virscan.org, ESET NOD32 is the best recommendation as of late as it recognized all the samples I could throw at it. A real solution would be for MS to "sandbox" installed software to at least protect the O/S from infection, compatibility be damned, but I'm sure that won't happen.
As for the Anonymous angle, anything I would say has been said.
After reading, quite extensively, on this topic, it is clear that there is much debate about this issue. It is quite painfully clear to people such as myself who don't qualify for medicare and can't afford private insurance that we are going to fall through the cracks in this not so well thought out government over-regulation. Some may argue that what FOX reported was a lie, but to me sounds more like hyperbole or half truth at worst. While the entire Obamacare bill may not be a government takeover of hospitals and/or doctors, it is a government takeover of my choice of how and where I receive my healthcare especially in the forcing me to purchase insurance. Hopefully the Supreme Court will shoot that aspect down when it hears this case later this year.
After reading the ENTIRE Politifact, it was clear that the statement was not false until Politifact contacted Mr. Rathke where he then retracted his previous statement/blog-post:
".....Patrick Gaspard (who was ACORN New York's political director before that) didn't reach out from the White House and help make that happen, and I'll tell you to take some remedial classes in 'politics 101.'"
which IMHO sounds a bit fishy to me and probably needs a little more fact checking than asking the elephant: "Who stole the peanut butter". Rathke was the founder of ACORN and we're supposed to believe that he was mistaken about who was ACORN New York's political director? C'mon.
I'll give Stewart this one although there was much confusion from FOX, the Texas BOE and Politifact. A lot of back pedaling on both sides, but FOX definitely fucked up
I'll need to do more research regarding this supposedly unbiased fact checking site. However, after perusing the last three months of articles, over 70% were anti-republican claims, many of which fall into the category of could be true/could be false depending on ideology.

That's it everybody. Kyrio has spoken. No further posting allowed, only one retard per topic.
Uh, I believe what he was saying was that you are a retarded bloating pin head.
Unfortunately that is the same expectancy of your retarded bloviating you pinhead
Too bad you are such a retard. Is the 'and more' your retarded exultations from on high your retardedness?
How much is that Common Sense software, you retard?
Your retard is dripping again!
And so who the mother fuck are you????
You don't see it
I guess that means that cause "kyrio" doesn't see it, then everybody should shut the fuck up.
