^I usually start wondering where someone is after, you know, a while, not a few hours. (seems like, anyway) Haha. I used my PSP for the internet at a hotel once. It worked surprisingly well!

It was mostly a going away post, however i should have worded it better. As for using the internet on a PSP, have you ever tried typing something? it's torture! this post alone took about 3 or so minutes...

My computer got one of those "Rogue Antivirus" viruses, so I'm using my laptop until I'm positive the virus is gone.

I friggin hate this virus, but at least no damage is done until you give them credit card information. I don't have a credit card, or money for that matter, so they couldn't get me, ha ha ha. It wouldn't let me open any programs like AVG, so I just switched to safe mode, and ran AVG scan, and now I'm hitting it with Malwarebytes.

It beats the shit out of the nasty virus I got the year before last. That virus forced me to reformat. I doubt I could handle that virus with all the knowledge I've gained since. That virus was vicious, and I've done everything I can to prevent another one like it.

"The other versions will disappear. Even the 35 million tapes of Star Wars out there won’t last more than 30 or 40 years. A hundred years from now, the only version of the movie that anyone will remember will be the DVD version [of the Special Edition], and you’ll be able to project it on a 20’ by 40’ screen with perfect quality. I think it’s the director’s prerogative, not the studio’s to go back and reinvent a movie." - George Lucas

Yikes. That's weird. My computer has the same problem. And I'm implementing the same solution.

Those Rogue AV usually only install in the profile of the person who got it. If you log in as another user you can scan and get rid of it as much (I run under a regular user account normally, then have a seperate Admin account for that reason). Safe mode should do it too.

Worst case scenario, you can move all of your files to another folder, then wipe your profile and recreate it. You don't have to reformat.

Thanks, I legitimately had a nightmare about one of these just now. Don't ask how. And then it turned into a situation similar to North by Northwest.

My brain is weird.

Thanks for all the well-wishes, guys. Hospital discharge went well, and the acclimation process has begun. Let the sleepless nights commence!

(BTW, did anyone notice that "Weird Al's" new album finally got a release date? And it's not very far off, either!)

I got that on my emulated Windows on my Mac once. Really annoying. I read that a lot of people don't mind paying the $29.99 to get there computer back, so they just do it. Yay! Way to support the assholes who do shit like that! Fortunately, being emulated, I just loaded up an older save state prior to getting the virus. But I did play around with it a bit first, that thing was brutal. I usually have no problem getting rid of viruses, that thing tied my hands in ever possible way I could think of.

I'm the opposite, I don't know the originals of his old songs for the most part.

weird. fortunately, I have not gotten one of these things yet.   What exactly does this rogue antivirus do?

It says you have viruses, and wants you to pay to get rid of them. It's not a virus in itself, technically, it just throws up false positives and is kind of hard to get rid of it.

We've been getting them a lot here at work, the problem is that it installs stuff in the person's profile, not on the Windows part, so you don't have to be an admin on the machine to get it in there. But because of that, you can get rid of it by wiping the profile.

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

It is a strangely catchy tune.

Plus, I enjoyed that much more than a similar website that tracks how long you can keep watching it...

A couple weeks ago Peter Jackson's The Hobbit began filming in New Zealand. 

Today, Joss Whedon's The Avengers started shooting as well, and apparently they'll be filming in Cleveland, a mere two-hour drive from yours truly.

Life is good, and I couldn't be happier!

That fact that a really great creative mind like Whedon's is making an adaption of another franchise annoys me...

Don't we have guys like Micheal Bay to crank shit like this out?

A creative mind that wrote some very well recieved comics. Its not an adaptation, he's as close as you'll get to the creator adapting his art in another form.
