Comment Invite request (Score 1) 408

If anyone who reads this has a Google+ account, and is able to invite me, it would be very much appreciated! I am not sure if that would mean that I would be included in your friend list then. But if you'd like, I will remove you (or you can of course remove me) and I will never bother you again. Thanks in advance! Alex (bestdealex [_at_] gm ail com)

As far as the UI goes, I have never liked Facebook's way of doing it either. Though in all honesty, I rarely use it so don't get a whole lot of practise. Like most others here, I would dearly love to try Google+ ! If you are still able to send out an invite, I'd be very appreciative if you could send one at [bestdealex (gmail)] (My name is Alex de Best, hence the address)

New Mega-Botnet Discovered 257

yahoi writes "According to the DarkReading article, 'Researchers have discovered a major botnet operating out of the Ukraine that has infected 1.9 million machines, including large corporate and government PCs mainly in the US. The botnet, which appears to be larger than the infamous Storm botnet was in its heyday, has infected machines from some 77 government-owned domains — 51 of which are in the US government. Researchers from Finjan who found the botnet say it's controlled by six individuals, and includes machines in major banks.'"

Hilarious!

I seem to have struck the same kind of gold! A girl who seems to be turned on when I get lost in my "geek-zone", I have no idea why that happens, but I can tell you that it is the most awesome thing ever!

Think of this scenario for example:
Your girl is over at your place, and there is somebody at the door. Once again someone needs your help with their computer. You sigh but you like the guy so you say yes and tell him to come back in a few hours. You start hooking up the computer and notice your girl watching over your back. Even though she looks interested you just let it slip so that you will be done faster and can get back to doing things with her.
You turn the computer on and look around at the problem. Seems like a simple virus infection, some registry problems, a dvd-drive that isn't hooked up properly, and some redundant services that are running. All easy stuff, you won't take more then 30 minutes to fix all of these.
As you start flexing your fingers for some serious keyboard-mashing and start rambling commands to the device and screens start popping up all over the place, your girl moves closer, but.. she isn't really looking at the screen any more. She is looking at you.
After about 25 minutes you launch the virusscanner you've just installed to let it do the final step of removing the easy stuff. You spot one last virus you know it can't delete but know the solution yourself. You ramble another command but as you are about to press [enter] you are being pulled backwards, flat on your back. Your girl sits on top of you, madly horny...

I'll leave it at that, but let me tell you, this is the absolute and ONLY way of fixing a computer properly! (It's also an extremely good incentive to check a computer out totally)
