Macs, generally, are more vulnerable than most PCs these days fyi.

pbradley 03.31.2009 07:03 PM

I doubt that.

vulva 03.31.2009 07:06 PM

Most programmers behind worms, trojans and other malicious scripts feel that they can exploit users and view it as being punitive against those that the creators generally dislike. With more people flaunting that their computer is virus proof because they have a Mac (view any malicious script related page on digg and look for the "I'm fine because I have a Mac" guy, he's always there in many different shells) they've been target to more viruses lately.

OSX isn't virus proof by any stretch.

This thread is about Conficker C.

vulva 03.31.2009 07:18 PM

Just be wary if you've run any VMWare to emulate anything windows

pbradley 03.31.2009 07:26 PM

The world is going to end 2012 regardless of your operating system.

TRUE FACT

Then Linux guy shows up to tell us he's running his superior OS, Ubuntu, which only took him 6 hours to customize perfectly to make it operate just like a Mac or Windows OS.

noisereductions 03.31.2009 09:01 PM

hahahaha, so true vulvie.

joe11121 03.31.2009 09:28 PM

I can't even read the artical! Everytime I click the link my computer says "operation aborted" and makes me click "close". But, from what I have been reading, nothing better happen to my computer. Or I will be punching someone in the face

atsonicpark 03.31.2009 09:35 PM

Meh. Fuck it.

Just remember that I was the # 1 most repped person when the world ends. I heard that means there's a spot in Heaven reserved for me!

atsonicpark 03.31.2009 11:36 PM

I survived!

You rang? Except for that ubuntu part and making it operate like those other OS's. Fuck that.

Nonetheless, I'm not worried cause I'm on "my superior os", I'm just not worried because of what OS I'm on.

atsonicpark 04.01.2009 11:01 AM

So, did ANYTHING happen to anyone?

noisereductions 04.01.2009 11:04 AM

not that I can tell. The Washington Post actually ran an April Fool's article about things that happened. But it was a joke. There's been no confirmed (that I know of) things that have actually happened.

atsonicpark 04.01.2009 11:09 AM

Oh, my mom is watching the news in the next room and someone on the news just said, "THE CONFLICKER VIRUS IS ALREADY ATTACKING!" The fuck.

noisereductions 04.01.2009 11:55 AM

I can't seem to find any proof of that though.

Rob Instigator 04.01.2009 12:08 PM

what are we supposed to be worried about now in Fear Nation?

atsonicpark 04.01.2009 12:16 PM

Someone on the news just said "Don't open any emailed file attachments today from people who you don't know."


No shit! (that's not today, that's everyday)

1) my new sig
2) neon
3)
4) that horrible sound effect in the show 24 that drags a dialogue over as a new scene emerges that is probably intended to increase anxiety but really makes me hate the show more despite already passing all hate-show scores.
5) Madonna
6) Jolie's quest to Man Up
7) You know, fuck it
8) rations
9) not enough
10) losing hitpoints

Conficker made me become permanently impotent. I was just watching a video taken from a security camera of a large-breasted blonde woman that accidentally stumbled into a prison basketball team's locker room, and nothing.

floatingslowly 04.02.2009 08:54 AM

^^^ you should try adjusting the penis to vagina ratio of yr porn.

I hope this helps.

Ok, I tried this and it totally worked. Apparently doubling the amount of penises does the trick.

Conficker didn't make me impotent, it just made me gay. I can't wait to ruin this coming Thanksgiving!
