"Safety: Caterpillar sets the standard when it comes to safety in the design and manufacturing of heavy equipment for the mining industry. Safety is not an afterthought at Caterpillar, but an integral part of all machine and systems designs."
Umm I hope safety is good in that thing...I mean seriously with the operator that high and the sheer size of it I doubt a head on collision is the first of their worries.
/Paris cause who cares about safety in that thing.
Wow I want a keyboard like yours that will type "ONE" out for me when I am typing !!!!!1111 :) Sorry that one had me on the floor.
On a side note this so called "rootkit" does it actually login as ROOT to take control of your KIT??
/Ok yes yes I know mines the one with Bad Puns'R'Us on the back
It may not be a crawler but one way it could work is just like a brute force password cracker. Starts with one character and adds more and more till it hits the right one.
On a side note maybe the real Webster was abucted by aliens which is why the new one is so nice. Dear god THEY KILLED WEBSTER. . .THOSE BASTARDS
God, working as a technician remotely I see this bugger atleast 3 times a day and its increasing fast. I have gotten to the point now when someone calls with a "possible" virus i ask them first and foremost "Popups in the lower left, trying to get you to install *****antivirus200*?" atleast 99% of the time I get a yes.
Lately, and what I didnt see mentioned in this article, was the fact there is a newer varient out there that removed all icons from start and the desktop including locking down the registry editor and task mangler.
All in all, again well done Jesper.
/though I think we all know that there are people out there who will continue to not learn
I know this wont come out of moderation but after reading all these comments this one just really stood out.
First and foremost to all the naysayers out there "I WAS ONE OF YOU!!" Yes yes I know but I have a system that would make peoples eyes bleed from the cost for a gaming rig but needless to say it can run anything out there with every setting maxed (Yes Crysis as well). I resisted for so long on Vista because doing technical support I see the problems people are having and then I get paid to fix them. So for the longest time I didnt want to upgrade. I finally did a month or two ago and ill tell you this, the system is a far cry more stable with vista and runs faster too. Now I saw 1 or 2 people who commented that they havent see any sign of the DRM in Vista TBH neither have I. And yes I watch DVDs and downloaded movies from time to time without a hitch. Music, yup no problem there. Latest and greatest games? Nope no there either. So quit whining if your machine has been upgraded and upgraded or the cheapest out of the box that SHOULD be able to run Vista but struggles with it what the hell did you expect? Maybe spend more then $350 on something besides an eMachine and the system would be half way decent.
Now back to my title.....if you love XP so much and the HDD is full why not but a bigger HDD and add it to the machine? Damn wanker.
"Apple has been named the computer maker that most satisfies its customers after it scored"
Am I the only one who read that part of the first line and started giggling?
"HP scored 73, Gateway 72, and HP's Compaq business 70. The Others category rated 72."
And seriously....how bad MUST the customer dis-service be if even OTHERS rated higher then Compaq? Not to mention <B>HOW THE FUCK DOES COMPAQ SCORE LESS THEN HP WHEN THEY ARE THE SAME DAMN COMPANY???</B>
WOW!!!

Always hated those bunch of wankers.
I have a HTC Hermes 8525 supplied from work lately it has been flaky as hell with 3G and Edge and calls ingeneral. Actually today I was on the phone with my boss and the damn thing just shit the bed. No phone, no 3G, no Edge. About 20 minutes later everything started working again. And no its not the phone having an issue this has happened before.
@Webster Phreaky
??? Werent you just on the Apple fanboi buss umm yesterday? I take it your shipment of meds finally came in?
On a side note I will still say WP has my vote.
SmitFraudFix BugHunt 2.2 HijackThis and a GOOD (read: not Norton or McAfee) AV scanner. Works for me. I work in remote support and have been seeing this for a while now (3 weeks IIRC) and there are 3 versions that I know of.
1) This version is a pain in the ass but can be gotten rid of by the above mentioned tools if run in safe mode.
2) This version is a dick. Spent 6 hours trying to figure this little bugger out to no avail. This one (for lack of a better way of putting it) appears to remove everything from the start menu and prevent many hotkeys from working. I have since given up trying to fix the damage and just restore the system cause im not gonna bother wasting my time or the customers.
3) This final one that I have seen is rather new. Above mentioned programs work, at least so it appears. Everything appears to be fine for about 15 minutes after cleaning the system and then it started to goto hell again. I have experienced this happening more frequently lately. Gave it 2 hours of work trying to fix/remove the problem child without ever finding it. (No I love Karen but meh I personally like making customers suffer) So I default to restore system.
As far as I have seen this 3rd one is becoming more and more frequent. Now stop infecting yourselves.

Sorry about that all you out there in Register Central. Our latest attempt at mind cont...erm a marketable program appears to still have a few bugs in it. Heh get it? A few bugs? Anyway please help us beta test it so that we can continue beta testing bugs like this to prevent this in the future.

"In court on Friday, Neil admitted through a Thai translator that he made the offending photos but denied distributing them online"
Then do, pray tell, how the hell they got distributed. Im sure the old "someone hacked/infected/stole/borrowed/fixed my computer and all they took was these pictures and I didnt know they had done this until the cops showed up asking about them" defense will be applied here. I hope he has a nice jailmate named Bubba for the stay.
/sorry about the title wasnt about to think of something witty as I havent had my coffee yet this morning
Spoil! sport!
On a side note:
This election brought to you by Flordia. We put the DUH! in FlorDUH.
Time for another 50 recounts, maybe a couple lawsuits and several re-votes.
Is it just me of when you tell the comment box to "Remember me on this computer" it never does? And no I dont clean cookies. Work computer FTW
Earlier this morning Abstergo, a company formed from the Knights Templars, announced that they were giving up the Animus experiments seeing as all the "subjects" kept going mad. Insteead they are just going to "ask" the catholic Church for their "Piece of Eden" back so that they can continue on the path to world domin......erm peace.
They are atleast asking nicely this time instead of making war with the holy land. Reasons for this change of tactic may be related to the 500 year old unsolved murders of 10 of their top commanders. These murders have continue to haunt them to this day as they (Abstergo) still havent managed to bring peace to the world. History must ask itself, "What would the world be like today if they had succeeded?"
/ok Im not willing to spend anymore time on that.
Mines the one with the blood soaked feather on it.
I know this really has nothing to do with the conversation about .Crap but
"In my Add/Remove programs I have .NET 2, .NET 2 Sp1 SDK, .NET 3 and .NET 3.5."
You got me wondering, in Vista it doesnt show .Crap upgrades(?) but I saw Crysis Patch 1.2 and Crysis Patch 1.21 listed under the microsoft patchs...
WTF? I didnt know M$ had a hand in EA$ patches.
I sadly like my buggy ass 680i board. Course for the first several months (6 or so) of its life I wanted to throw the computer out the window(s) (hehe pun). But they have since worked out most of the bugs....except for this one little nagging bug that irritates the hell out of me. Will someone explain to me WHY? 4 GB (1GB x 4 sticks) of Corsair XMS2 Doms at DDR2-800 will cause my system to BSOD with a different code each time? I mean seriously WTF is Asus doing with a QVL list for memory? Last I knew memory was about the most basic thing there was (short of timings and the like and a HDD) in a system. If I run 3GB worth of memory im fine but filling thats 4th slot freaks out the system with my memory.
/Paris cause shes just as clueless as I am about this issue
Ya know I saq the article the first time and laughed, then it hit me....both those guys are hung more then me and I then felt sad.
Hmmm pun....pun....pun
A rapist, a pedophile and a Priest walk into a bar......and thats just the first guy.
Ok not a pun but im sure it would bring up some interesting "hits" if you searched for something Cuil :)
/im going to hell for this post though im sure there will be a picture on Cuil of me as well
What are you smoking???
"No messing, stick the disc in and play on a big screen, not a crapp 17in monitor. No messing with DirectX and/or drivers every time you install the latest game, no massive multi-DVD installs."
Ok first things first, only reason you play on the big screen if because GENERALLY you sit further away and it needs to be bigger to see all the detail. I would rather play Assassins Creed on my PC instead of a HDTV because I can see further when it comes to flag hunting. Nice being able to see a flag a half mile away due to the draw distance being maxed. Now onto the other foolish comment you made. How often do you mess with DirectX to get something installed? Most of the time it asks to install an update to DirectX to make sure youhave the lastest version at the time the game was released and if you already have it or newer it doesnt do a damn thing. Now WTF are you talking about MultiDVD installs? Only 2 games I know of lately with 2 DVDs are Age of Conan and Vanguard. So ummm, why not do some damn research before you spout off at the mouth.
"£400 will get you a very smart PS3, and a few games, A PS3 has more grunt than a high-end PC, and devs reckon the Cell/RSX combo is more powerful than a high end GPU."
So for almost $800 US I can get a "very smart" PS3 and a few games? Damn inflation is a bitch isnt it? Could have sworn that it was more then a "few" games for that price seeing as the high-end PS3 is what? Around 400 or less now right? Anyway More grunt? Again do your research before you spout off cause it just makes an ASS out of U and well......U. Granted yes they havent fully utilized the potential of the Cell/RSX system, but by the time they do your argument will still be pointless seeing as at that time PCs will be far more powerful.
Damn I hate know it alls. Flames for obvious reasons
And I will tell you that we were NOT, I repeat NOT sleeping. What were doing in fact was three things. Bob was making sure the procedure of closing your eyes and kissing your ass goodbye was valid, Joe there had to piss so bad he had his eye closed and was hopping around (bet no one mentioned the hopping DID THEY??) and me? Well I just got a new pair of gag glasses with the eyes closed and the big nose. (heh, shouldve seen the commanders face. .PRICELESS). BUT, we were NOT SLEEPING. Just because the flyboys get to work from 10am-2pm everyday and have a mandatory 2 hour nap in there somewhere we all get labeled as slackers? Hell do you know how hard it is when your working with three guys after a night out in a secure, AIR-TIGHT facility? Damn the other week Bob ripped one so badly me and Joe about died. Now stop worrying about the nuclear codes, they are saf........zzzzZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Seriously though I can see why he did what he did (known many retarded idiots who shouldnt be trusted with a spoon let alone network access) but at the same time once he left he should have turned it over right away if only to laugh when the new people made a royal mess of everything seeing as he was no longer responsible. Then again he would problem have still been arrested cause the new people would have denied they messed it up and blamed it on some sort of logic bomb that was hidden.
/Paris because, well shes been as Fu#!ed as this guy would have been one way or the other.
Heh, I believe this and it isnt just IT companies either who do this kind of BS.
Back when I use to work on cars we had torched a machine that was under warranty.
Call company they said sure we will send you a new one.
2 weeks later we have a full size tractor-trailer backing into the front of the garage, I'm sitting there thinking "WTF is this?". Driver gets out tells us we have a delivery from the company fo the machine. Oh great well lets get it off. He opens the rear doors, and there, all alone in the middle of the truck is a BIG SOB wooden box. I ask him where he drove from, Los Angeles was the answer....he also informed me he didnt make any stops and that he was told to get the delivery to us ASAP. Oooookay. So we get the box off (about 750 pounds of wood packing), the machine is held in the pallet/box combination with what look to be railroad tie sized pieceds of wood. All for a machine about the size of a microwave.
Ok Wish I had pics but I was too busy rolling on the ground laughing, plus it was years ago.
Oh well
/Paris because shes unpacked wooden things.
And here I was thinking I would have to go with the highest priced assassin to end my life. Now it looks like I can hold the silent auction for whoever can end it for the least cost. Mr. Killer I'm going to put you down at $9000 USD I will await the next bid and inform you if you have been out bid.
Of course, you could just give me your address, passport, credit card numbers and next of kin, along with a $5000 deposit and I will happily send you a sum of $40million (rubles) when the bank releases the hold on my funds, to be the guaranteed contract (Mr.)killer of my life. Please no CoDs, checks or money orders, only cold hard currency will be accepted for the winning (Mr.)killer.
Now I can rest happy tonight knowing I wont be taken for more then my life is worth.
We are happy to announce the arrival of WIFE 3.0. This new version is designed for Windows Vista and will happily scale (we are removing the word bloat (up) in this new version) to any income, erm, resource size that is available. In addition to the great new (blond) user interface, you will be stunned to watch as your Quickbook files are magically reduced in size and that your wallet is also lighter. The new Windows APIs for DirectX10 even allow us to offer the ability for anyone using the new Wife 3.0 program to post videos on YouTube showing how much (of a) manipulat(ion)or you are and wow appointed and elected officials of your great choice in programs.
we do appologize for the undocumented bug in the first release where if the YouTube video goes wrong you will lose 750000(dollars)K of memory. At this time we are currently trying to reproduce this bug but it is hard to replicate due to the elusive nature of this (bitch).
Also in addition (sorry Sarah :P) We have the new SarahBee 0.9 ready for alpha as well as the new plugins Richard 1.0 and Steve 1.0 which are designed to help with your running of Wife3.0. Currently you can only have one of the three installed as there is a known issue with conflicts about spelling and grammar when you attempt to use the dictionary portion of the program.
So please enjoy this new release of the WIFE application and if you have any issues running it your welcome to e-mail Technical Support at divorce@court.com and we will help you for a small sum of an additional $250,000.
Thank you.
-Dumb bitch, I watched the video and couldnt help but laugh and feel sorry at the same time. Now I cant help but laugh, on the street with $750K. HAH
Investigate? In Ireland? Are you crazy? I mean seriously the investigation will take place around the table at the local pub.
"O'Leary I think this investigation needs another round."
Not to mention the ATC ladies and gents.
"Umm ATC, this is US Airlines Flight 197 could you repeat that last command, the words were heavily slurred."
Trust me, I'm Irish and I drink like a fish :)
Hehe though airport and Ireland in the same article reminds me of the Family Guy episode where the jet lands on a runway full of beer bottles :)
