    The easy way? Pull out your system restore disks, scrub the hard drive and rebuild. Hope you've got a recent backup.

    The hard way? The last version I encountered (on Windows XP) required a specialized script to disable the virus' processes, understanding of how to operate the command prompt, edit the registry, and then use another registry script to restore .exe file functionality.

    It wasn't pretty, but in the end I won.

    Bears are awarded for awesomesauceness. If you don't have enough awesomesauceness, the bear eats you instead.

    Curt remark regarding the quoted developer's low standing in the overall pantheon of red names with Bonus Implication that their opinion on anything is therefore worthless

    Sweeping generality about newer players today.

    Suggestion of being in good with one of the Devs and thus knowing more than the mere riffraff posting on the boards.

    Pompous dismissal of all other possible viewpoints as therefore lacking legitimacy.
    Mockery of player skill level, questioning of whether he has a life.

    Sweeping generality about the old folks today.

    Ill-mannered, erotic interpretation of player's claimed relationship with one of the Devs.

    Offer to borrow hamster commented upon in earlier post to assist with consummation of player-dev relations.

  16. Hmmm...so, heroes get access to more accolades than villains this way (unless, say, both Founders' Falls AND Brickstown badges yield a 30-39 zone accolade). Though nothing specifically indicated any accolade powers were involved.

    It will be interesting to see how in-game email influence/infamy transfers interact with anti-spammer technology. What happens if an email transfer is deleted, or if they can't be deleted without first accepting the influence? Spammers would then just stick a point of influence/infamy in the mail before sending it off to complicate deletions...

    According to the mouseover text, it's been disabled.

    Allegedly by you, but that's just default text, after all.

    You simply make a face using 2 letters/numbers/symbols with an underscore between them and the the next person describes what that face is expressing. For example: X_X easily described as a dead face. But X_0 is a face after someone got shot in the eye with a BB gun.

    You appear to be assuming that attention is a sole motivating factor for posting.

    Some people just want to be helpful, and care little or not at all about the attention they may receive.
  22. Cards fry MUCH more easily than the slots they go into.

    I used to run an EVGA build of the Nvidia 8600, and it died when the fan got so dusted up, it wouldn't spin anymore.

    I found that replacing it with a 9600 resulted in performance a bit better than what I had before - roughly the same frame rates on slightly higher settings.
