<0> Dr. Watson
<1> you know how it always comes up and bitches about programs needing to be shutdown?
<2> I remember the commercials. They depicted a voodoo doctor in a village.
<0> that'd be a perfect name for it
<1> it asks you if you want to End NOw
<3> anyone remember viruii that would make you play games to save your comp?
<1> lol
<1> DR Watson
<3> I used to love reading through all the virus description in norton
<0> remember that? what was it win98 when the dr watson dialogs would pop up
<3> they're boring now
<1> my xp install had that bug once
<1> where Dr Watsons log would get out of control
<0> oh really? i don't ever remember seeing it in xp
<1> it was at a point where this TXT file was taking up 30 gigs
<0> 30 gigs? wow
<1> because i didn't realize.... until my hd started getting full
<1> i was thinking hmm that cant be right... theres nothing on here
<3> blackice firewall filled a folder with so many logs I couldnt even list the contents
<0> lol
<1> it was insane... have you ever seen a 30 gigabyte text file
<1> i dared not open it
<1> :D
<3> Took more than 6 hours to delete them all from dos prompt
<0> rofl
<1> the new yahoo messenger has this crappy memory leak
<0> how did it get to be so large anyway? i thought there was a filesize limit
<0> like 4g or something like that
<1> i've left it on on occasion to find it taking up almost all my RAM
<2> The first malicious program that ever hit me was something called the "Mike Tyson Virus" when I had just talked my mom into purchasing my first real computer with Windows98, lol.
<1> yahoo messenger takes 400 MB of ram to run?
<2> I remember having to go through my first reformat because of it.
<0> yahoo messenger is atrocious
<3> did it bite your ear off?
<0> lol
<1> lol
<0> rofl
<4> Like tyson?
<2> No. It would reboot your computer and turn your screen upside down when Windows came back.
<4> rofl omg ive seen that at school
<2> It would then load a picture of Mike Tyson, and reboot again.
<4> but I think a kid did it
<1> RAWRRRRRRR NYA NYA NYA NYA.... TAKE THAT MSN MESSENGER CONTACTS
<3> virus makers just arent creative anymore
<3> its all about the money now
<4> agreed
<4> SDbot's are cool though
<5> yeah they just try to collect spam drones now.
<0> oh, thanks for reminding me. i gotta install spybot lol
<1> we used to do that to the machines in college because they had these hotkeys built in for intel extreme
<1> we'd turn every single one sideways
<0> rofl
<1> we actually saw one guy turn his screen on its side
<1> because he couldnt figure it out
<0> i don't know why they ever put those hotkeys in
<0> i guess to give pc techs an easy $50 or whatever
<1> ya no kidding... the admins finally went and disabled them
<1> but to see this old guy sitting there with his screen on its side
<1> priceless.
<0> lol
<1> we were crying in the hallway we laughed so hard
<3> well he solved the problem
<1> there he was, nonchalantly clicking away... he was smarter than the computer
<1> turning the monitor on its side :D
<0> dangit. i'm really considering buying vista right now and i don't want to spend the money
<3> Why do you want vista?
<1> because
<0> DefiantN, right now or period?
<3> right now
<1> everyone wants to **** on the limp, lucid phallus of bill gates.
<3> I can see later, when directx10 becomes standard
<2> I think 40% of the VISTA installations off the official CD fail, lol.
<0> because i'm re-installing xp right now anyway and can kill two birds with one stone. i know i'll get vista soon anyway
<2> Meah. VISTA isn't worth it.
<0> troopa, why is that?
<2> Just pirate it if you need it.
<0> the rc ran perfect for me
<1> *yawn im off to sleep now*
<0> lol no i don't pirate software anymore
<1> of course you dont :D
<0> lol i'm serious
<1> no-one does.
<2> Because it has too much crap in it. It likes to spy on the user.
<1> :D
<0> i bought every piece of software on my pc
<1> if by spy you mean torrent-spy, the best damn free torrent site on teh web
<2> The tons of phone-home software, DRM HELL and forcing members to register accounts to install VISTA is a joek.
<1> :P
<3> that must have been expensive
<2> joke*
<1> you have to be intelligent about it...
<1> obviously doom 3 isnt going to be 4kb in size
<0> DefiantN, yeah, it is lol. that's why i don't want to spend the money right now but i might :-S
<0> troopa, you have to register accounts to install vista now?
<1> good night forks
<0> night number7
<1> well good morning
<1> lol going to bed after it gets light out
<2> Yeah. You must have a 'community' account to install the actual product.
<1> :P
<0> DefiantN, that's the main reason i'm still running ms office 2k lol. thank God i won't have to pay for office 2k7
<0> there's a rip off if i ever saw one. talk about the price of vista. office pricing is insane
<6> I got office 2k7, but I havent tried it yet
<7> Man, one Microsoft product I love is OneNote 2007
<2> cue: The VISTA home edition is NOT a real OS, heh.
<0> i haven't tried it yet either. but i'm supposed to be able to get a free copy at a vista launch event next week
<2> It does not have a damn thing in it.
<0> troopa, i'd never buy home anyway
<3> I got rc1 for free...
<2> You basically need to spend almost $300 to get an OS with any real features.
<3> wonder how much they changed since that
<2> Even then a copy of Linux will own it.
<2> XP is even better.
<2> Most people just have to have the new looks. However, Areo won't even run on most hardware.
<0> nah, i've ran the rc of vista and loved it much more than xp
<2> You would need a brand-new DX10 compatible video card to even get **** out of that lame *** component.
<0> have you played with the built-in speech recognition? it's pretty awesome
<7> Better than XP's?
<0> XP has built-in speech recognition? i thought it only had text-to-speech
<7> I use voice-recognition
<2> I'm sure VISTA has some cool features, honestly. However, I don't want to sacarfice my privacy for a few ****ty features.
<7> But you need Office to install it. Good thing my trial didn't run out before I figured that out
<3> I'm tempted to buy a pen drive for DSL
<0> Filup, how do u enable that?
<0> oh ok. i have office 2k. doubt it has that lol
<7> Meh, Idk. I use 2003
<0> vista has it built into the os (ultimate anyway, don't know about the other editions)
<3> I have voice recognition, think its from MS office
<0> i was pretty impressed with it and how little you need to train it. it isn't perfect by any means but pretty good after just a few minutes of setting it up
<2> VISTA also has Windows Defender installed as part of the OS. Much like how IE is installed.
<3> Typing is easier for me tough
<2> That is a little lame, since Defender will allow lots of spyware to run on the system.
<2> People need a better product.
<7> I only use voice when I'm dictating notes from a textbook
<2> It is well-known that companies can pay M$ off to allow their product on a Windows installation without Defender saying a word.
<2> But if they fail to make payments, M$ will have Defender remove their product.
<2> So you're only protected against poor companies.
<3> I didnt think they could get away with that
<0> why wouldn't they ?
<2> They get away with so much ****.
<3> bad publicity... i figure its somehow illegal
<2> They get away with putting backdoors in their OS, lmao.
<0> how is defender a backdoor?
<2> They have two backdoors in Windows, and claim it is for "national security".
<2> Defender is not a backdoor, but the OS has a few.
<3> they close 2 backdoors every month
<2> XP has one for the NSA and VISTA has one for M$ and one of the NSA.
<0> what's the backdoor?
<2> The one in XP is hidden in a sytem driver that handles the cryptographic key mechanism, but it does allow for the NSA to remotely install rouge software without the user knowing.
<2> So they could basically create a distributed network of random computers to run X software.
