Men vs Women

Frate, sunt chestii la care barbatii si femeile nu or sa se inteleaga vreodata la gusturi! EVEEEER!

Sa luam un exemplu, Icsulescu mascul si Igreculeasca femela, PC-ul lui Icsulescului si al Igreculeascai are doua probleme in momentul asta. Prima problema e ca un HDD e pe moarte ( fyi e maxtor), mboooon, Icsulescu si Igreculeasca se uita pe net dupa HDD-uri, Icsulescu spune din start ca vrea WD, cu buffer de minim 16Mb si gen >200GB capacitate. Toate bune si frumoase, Igreculeasca se uita si ea pe net, gaseste un WD la 620GB, pret decent, Icsulescu e happy cu alegerea! Acum vine in schimb a doua problema, si anume ca scroll-ul de la mouse-ul Icsulescului si al Igreculeascai s-a cam mutut din motive necunoscute, asa ca cei doi eroi ai nostri se uita pe net de data asta dupa soareci. Igreculeasca vine cu o propunere, neaparat wireless, Icsulescu e de acord si completeaza ca trebuie sa fie laser! Mbon, se uita Icsulescu pe net si vede niste shoareci pe gustul lui: Logitech VX Laser Revolution, Logitech MS LX8 CL Blue si Microsoft Wireless Laser 5000 63A-00005. Sta el ce sta si se duce la Igreculeasca si-i arata optiunile, spre surprinderea lui totala Igreculeasca e total nesatisfacuta! Ori e prea mare, ori e prea lucios ori e prea albastru… Well, e un mouse! Ce conteaza daca e albastru?! Igreculeasca se uita si ea pe net si vede aceasta oratanie pe care Icsulescu este nevoit sa o refuze din motive evidente. Doua zile mai tarziu in timpul scrierii acestei povestioare Icsulescu si Igreculeasca, dupa intense negocieri, convin sa cumpere un MS Wireless Optical 2000, in mod evident Icsulescu mormaie in continuare.

See my point? Sunt chestii la care sexele nu or sa se inteleaga vreodata! Cum ar fi shoarecii, muzica sau dreptul la vot al minoritatilor etnice! =(

Windows 7 Beta. No.

The big thing regarding software nowadays seems to be the public opening of windows 7. Personally, I don’t get why millions of people accessed the Microsoft website to download the beta version of it. Why, oh why? Is it that “cool” to use a product that’s not fully functional? Note: the product also happens to be a version of Windows, made by Microsoft and if all that isn’t enough.. this release is also a beta version!
Word of advice, don’t bother with it until it’s a final release and it reached SP2 or so. Better yet, don’t bother with it at all and just use Linux! But, if you want to use Windows, at least use an older and more stable version of it, like Windows 2k or Windows XP.
And the comic of the week award goes to xkcd
Windows 7

cleaning Win32/AutoRun.Agent.BE

So yeah, I got my first worm in quite a while, the awesome and overall cute Win32/AutoRun.Agent.BE. But I also got a piece of wisdom from cleaning it – make sure you never download any software from sources you aren’t 100% sure of. That includes torrent trackers, dc++, any other p2p interface, random [free] download websites and so on.
As I said, my PC, the mighty Shoarec, has caught a nasty case of Win32/AutoRun.Agent.BE and I had a bit of trouble cleaning it. Google adviced me to different methods to get rid of it but none actually worked so now I will post here the best way to get rid of it without much headache. For me it went pretty much like this: nod32 detected the worm as soon as it was in my system but didn’t manage to actually get me rid of it.
This is how I cleaned it, step by step:

#1: Downloaded and installed the Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware software. It’s free for scanning and cleaning, you can get it from here. It’ll detect the worm and delete some of its parts.

#2: If you check in [My Computer] at this point you will still notice that the drive’s default action is Autoplay instead of Open. You shouldn’t double click the drive or use the autoplay option at any time! That’s definitely not good. Now you need to get those pesky “autorun.inf” files out in the open, to do that you will type in Run “attrib c:\autorun.inf -r -h -s”, it’will remove the attributes for the autorun.inf file found in the root C:\ drive. Replace C: with D:, E: etc. to remove the attributes for the file on all of your drives..

#3: Delete C:\autorun.inf, D:\autorun.inf and so on.

#4: Reboot.

#5: Run MBAM again to make sure the worm is gone.

There you go, now the worm is gone and your drives should again behave properly.

PS: Have a happy New Year. I will.

Thanks,
The management.

Ramp Fest

Bavaria o stiti pentru BMW si pentru Oktoberfest. Dar reclama conceputa de BMW e ceva mai mult decat ciudata, extrema si foarte elaborata. Actiunea mini-filmului se petrece in Oberpfaffelbachen, un sat bavarez imaginar, culmea avand si website (http://oberpfaffelbachen.com/message.php); o poveste trista la fel ca atractiile de genul “the world’s biggest…” din oraselele din nordul Americii. Pe scurt sunt 30 de minute de “mad sadness” … si toate astea pentru lansarea BMW in America.

Goldeanu revine!

Ca tot imi plac specimenele care isi etaleaza aurul, cu ceva luni in urma am gasit niste pastile pentru ei. Si acum ma adresez fix unei anumite clase de oameni:

Goldeanu pentru multime!

Pentru ca traim intr-o tara plina de “basini”, o tara in care majoritatea simte nevoia sa iasa in evidenta cu cate un “cacat atarnat” cu un cablu de macara din aur argint sau platina, vin si va prezint cireasa de pe tort.
