Warning: There's a new virus on the loose that's worse than
anything I've seen before! It gets in through the power line,
riding on the powerline 60 Hz subcarrier. It works by changing the
polarity of hard drive read heads, and by reversing the direction one's disks
spin. Over 300,000 systems have been hit by it!

It attacks DOS, Unix, Win 9x, NT, Win 2k, Linux, Mac, IPods,
DVD, ITS, game consoles w/hard drives, VHS systems.

To prevent the spresd of the worm:

1) Don't use the powerline.
2) Don't use batteries either, since there are rumors that this
virus has invaded most major battery plants and is infecting the
positive poles of the batteries. (You might try hooking up just
the negative pole.)
3) Don't upload or download files.
4) Don't store files on floppy disks or hard disks.
5) Don't read messages. Not even this one!
6) Don't use serial ports, modems, or phone lines.
7) Don't use keyboards, screens, or printers.
8) Don't use switches, CPUs, memories, microprocessors, or
mainframes.
9) Don't use electric lights, electric or gas heat or
airconditioning, running water, writing, fire, clothing or the
wheel.

I'm sure if we are all careful to follow these 9 easy steps, this
virus can be eradicated, and the precious electronic fluids of
our computers can be kept pure.

Hey! Paladin2000 gave it a 9, so someone liked it! [img]graemlins/cheers.gif[/img]

actually he gave him 5+1+9 15
----- = -- = 5/10
3 3

So he only got 5/10 but I say he desrved everyone of those points (the taken off ones ;) )

Lavindathar 01-17-2003 08:08 PM

<font color="cyan">But only 1 point was for material!

The rest were just balls and effort!

He tried alas, but as a great friend of mine says,

"Trying is the first step towards failure"

You should remember that!</font>
