What does that mean ?


It means that I have someone who doesn't like my stand on illegal immigrants or as the liberals say undocumented workers, living in America, they came here illegally and now they are demanding to become Americans, my wife is an immigrant, she came to the country and waited her time (I think 11 years) and then took the test and now she is an American. I just have a bug up my butt, that if this poor girl can do it, so can everyone else. I have no pity for illegal immigrants.

Sorry about talking politics, but you did ask, how do I know, I have the guys phone number and address, and yes he is an illegal immigrant. Just trying to figure out if I should send him a nice virus called the Bugs Bunny virus. It is pretty funny a small movie of Bugs Bunny that pops up and says "Whats up Doc?" This movie pops up at various times and is written completely in binary, it was made by one of our old pranksters when the Navy first got computers back in 1982.

Anyhow this clown knocked out my modem, my big gaming PC, and my old gaming PC, that is the bad news, the good news is he attacked my Amiga 4000 and couldn't touch it. It plays as normal.
Remember the old term, back up, back up, back up. Well it works especially if you have Microsoft junk. The only thing I use Microsoft for is games and surfing the internet. All my important stuff is kept on Linux or my Amiga 4000. Of course for really important stuff it is kept on a USB thumb drive, that stays with me 24 hours around the clock.

And no Iggy it isn't porn pictures.

It is scans of my insurance policies and my new Home Manager Inventory system for keeping an inventory on everything in my house (I hope still updating). I also have a thumbdrive on my Amiga with Softwood File IIGS and a copy of Amiga Forever, so I can mount it on any PC. Yes it is double the work, but backing up especially important files is very important, if you think Computers are expensive then just add up all your software, and important stuff you are keeping track of, then think about the time it took you to do it. Like they say "I can always replace my computer" but the data that it holds is priceless.

Now do I hate illegal immigrants, no, I have sent in letters to our really in tune politicians that if they need these people to work, have a work station set up where they can be given an ID card to work in this country for a certain amount of time and where they will be working, if they do not return the card by the end date, and re-enter their country then if caught they will not be allowed back in the country to legally work again. Of course there are other things I have had in the bill, like citizenship studies, taxes, etc. but I have heard nothing since I sent the bill in. Probably dropped in the circular file because the rich people would have to pay a little higher wages.

Rant over, but now you see how I use my Amiga 4000 for other things and how it just laughs at those trying to mess it up. Of course it only goes on line when I see a file for it I like.

Yeah.... I was just going to let that one go.  I think a translation could be "I had to reimage 2 of my PC's because I was looking at sites I shouldn't be looking at, and clicking on things I ought not have clicked on, when using an outdated web browser and lacking antivirus or firewall software."
 
:griping:


Sorry the only sites I go to are sites like MSN, Fox, Amazon, Tigerdirect, NewEgg, and Youtube. I also have Microsoft Defender, Webroot, SuperAntiSpy, Ad-Aware and Malwarebytes.

Did your great great grandfather get a green card from the Indians when he illegally migrated to America ? If you are Indian I am sorry and your are legit, if not to me you are an illegal immigrant and should be kicked out.

Fox. There's your problem right there. Can we get this thread back on topic now? :whack:
 
Also with the exception of Malwarebytes those are some really outdated security programs. :p
