Seeing auras is kinda like what Styx said, as in there's colors around a person's body that one is able to see. The colors though are meant to symbolize certain energies within that person. Only reason I know this is I have read up on it, and a couple of years ago during a strees-free campaign these people came with this camera that could supposedly read your aura based on the energies you were putting out at that time. I distinctly remember being told my aura was fire-red.
Will kill just the virus. Might mess with any files that got infected, but shouldn't. The whole point of oot n' nuke is to save the files while killing the virus. And to turn off system restore in XP at least you go to Control Panel>System>System Restore tab>uncheck the box that says "Turn on system restore".
Try the old fashioned "boot n nuke" technique: Download Avast! or Malwarebytes onto a flash drive, turn off System Restore on the computer, and restart in Safe Mode. Plug the flash drive in, run the antivirus program in safe mode. Should kill it off. Once it's finished, reboot in regular mode and scan again to make sure it's all clear. If it is, turn system restore back on. Whole thing took me a half hour on my laptop, and I have tons of stuff. ETA: Eww....McAfee...heard nothing but bad stuff about that program. I usually tell people who have this to switch to Spybot: Search and Destroy, or Malwarebytes (both free)
Eevee and it's 'lutions, except for the two new ones. That's too many for me. Loved Vulpix, Ninetails, and Growlithe too. I've got the Vulpix beanie that KFC brought out in 1999 at the height of the Poke craze.
Well, I'm Wiccan, and while I practice magic in a sense, it's really about the flow and balance of energy. When I do practice any sort of spells, it's sually when I know there's a balance in the elements, and when I'm practicing in a large group (like with my buds back home in our circle). Never mind the fact that I'm so out of practice right now that I don't think I could perform a simple healing spell without having to consult one of my books. That's how rusty I've gotten; that, and half the stuff I need is banned from the college dorms (candles, incense). I've tried to cheat using multi-colored flashlights; not the same.
Eh. Manure occureth, my friend. Manure occureth.
Same here, except most Friday nights I'm at work until 8pm, and then I get together with a friend of mine to update the school newspaper's web site, and sometimes we won't finish until long after 10pm.
I absolutely adored the ending. I'm sad because this means there won't be any new episodes, but they'll still run older episodes from time to time, so I still get my dose of Monk.
Hot Topic stores, or on the website Mike posted in the news story. Found 'em today...my store was selling them for $5 US a pop.
Love it, but can't eat it as much anymore because I work in a "Nut-Aware" zone for peanut allergies. If I ate one, lawsuits would pour in until they were almost up to my eyeballs.
The pins actually look very snazzy. They're not those pin-back buttons they keep in the fishbowls near the counter; they look like the trading pins you can find in the parks. Good stocking stuffers these will be...
I might join you. I love that show.
D'aww....our little PSOne is finally in its teenage years. I couldn't be prouder of it.
Thanks, Identity Theft. I'll drag a coworker over with me tomorrow to see what that does, hopefully it'll save his stuff for him. Might not be a fast fix, but a fix nonetheless. All we got accomplished today was blocking the computer from the campus network, because it would only have been a matter of time before the virus infects other computers on the network (i.e. all of them). My coworker tried every trick up his sleeve and nothing worked. I'm sending him this link so he can give me his opinion on it. Okay, we did as the site said to do and it seems to be gone as far as we could tell. I'm still going to leave it off of the network for now, just until I'm sure it isn't going to pop back up again. Once the coast is clear I'm setting him up with Firefox, NoScript and FlashBlock because I'm pretty sure it was his buggy Internet Explorer that caused this.
I was meeting with my professor this afternoon to get advising on what courses I should take next semester and other college-y stuff while he worked on his desktop computer (a school-owned Windows XP running monster of a comp). While he was trying to pull my info up online, a message popped up saying his computer was at risk and would he like to scan now? Little red flags went up in my head and I started to tell him "Don't do it!!!eleventy!" but it was in vain; he had already clicked it and started installing something called Antivirus System PRO. He looks at me and goes "This is good, right?" I simply shook my head at him, knowing that he had just downloaded THE Virus. So the thing "scans" his comp, and this little bubble keeps popping up near the clock saying "Windows reports that computer is infected. Antivirus software helps to protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. Click here for the scan you computer. You system might be at risk now." Thing finds 42 "viruses", and he comments "Oh. That's not good." I flatly told him I'm glad he's a Spanish professor and not Computer Science at this point, or this error would be extremely unforgivable (which it already was). He knows I'm a bit of a technophile and work part-time at the student helpdesk on campus, so he starts asking me how to get rid of this thing as it starts opening several windows linking to wonderful adult sites. Thing is, the only way I know to fix this thing completely is to boot n nuke the thing and reinstall Windows using the disk that came with the computer, but he'd lose everything on that PC in the process, and I would take 2 hours or so just to clean the thing as it is. My questions is if anyone knows a faster way to rid this comp of this virus? I was going to try putting Avast or Malwarebytes on a flash drive, turning off System Restore on the PC, rebooting in Safe Mode, killing it with the program on the flash drive, and seeing what that does, but I don't think that will be enough for this. But that's how I kill viruses on the students' laptops when they drop them off at my desk, and it's worked, but those were typically low-risk ones as opposed to this beast.
Sounds awesome, but I just upgraded my TV from the boxy thing we've had for 12 years to a flat-screen LCD. Don't think I'd be shelling out the cash to replace it just so I can have the living daylights scared out of me when playing a FPS or something. Now, if they made the games the same sort of way they did the 3D movies, and packaged 3D glasses with the game, maybe I'd look into it.
^Thank you CTR for sparing me a long and lengthy post by saying exactly what I was going to say. Might as well add that I've met plenty of fellows out there who prefer a "chubby" girl to a pencil thin one for a variety of reasons. And I work with a large group of Spanish speakers (mostly from Puerto Rico and South America), who hang around and talk and flirt with me, a slightly more...ahem...built girl than my skinnier co-workers, simply because that's their culture right there. I guess to each their own...
http://www.htmldog.com/guides/cssbeginner/ I know it says HTML but this is a beginner's guide to CSS. It also has advanced and expert guides when you feel you are ready to step up. I liked it because it was easy for me to understand.
Mamma Mia! Had been meaning to see it, and wanted to test out the Blu-Ray player we just got. Seemed to fit. Don't get me started on how catchy the songs are.
I guess I should just consider myself lucky as a girl gamer. I've never been insulted or hit on, or anything like that by guys playing the same game I was. I've been welcomed rather warmly and it's led to some amazing games. The way I see it, jerks like that are tiny so they need to boss "weaker" people around to feel better about their...size. It's in their nature, I guess. But they're not all like that.
