We can only hope that those stupid enough to get or rather allow their
computer to remain infected after all the notifications are down for at
least a week.

With luck those that remain online will have sense enough to ignore the
phone calls asking for help from those stupid twits...

Nope. People like me will more than happily rescue the clueless, for
a price. If it weren't for malware, spyware, phishing, buggy apps,
buggy operating systems, defective hardware, and FUD, I would be out
of business[1]. If I were unethical, unscrupulous, evil, dastardly,
greedy, etc, I would probably write malware for distribution.
Unfortunately, I'm a lousy programmer, so that's not going to make me
wealthy.

Maybe I should write a book... "The Zen of Computer Repair, or how I
learned to deal with computah users and still remain sane".

Good idea. I don't need any competition.

Every time there's media attention to a virus set to explode on some
specific date, my phone rings. My purpose in fixing computahs is to
keep the phone from ringing. If someone calls, it's often about
something that I did wrong or missed. I don't like phone calls.

Before the day of impending doom, my email is filled with customers
asking "Do I have the DNS Changer trojan"? On Monday, I expect to get
calls such as "My computer won't turn on. Is it the DNS Redirector
trojan"? Eventually, they remember to flip the switch on the power
strip or UPS. It's dumb, but I like the easy stuff.


[1] Company motto: If this stuff worked, you wouldn't need me.

What if you turn your clock or calendar back? Does that buy you more time?

The Grandmaster of the CyberFROG

Come get your ticket to CyberFROG city

Nay, Art thou decideth playeth ye simpleton games. *Some* of us know proper manners

Very few. I used to take calls from *rank* noobs but got fired the first day on the job for potty mouth,

Bur-ring, i'll get this one: WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM JERK!!? We're here to help you dickweed, ok, ok give the power
cord the jiggily piggily wiggily all the while pushing the power button repeatedly now take everything out of
your computer except the power supply and *one* stick of ram. Ok get the next sucker on the phone.

Deirdre Straughan (Roxio) is a LIAR (Deirdre McFibber)

There's the employer and the employee and the FROGGER and the FROGEE, which one are you?

Hamster isn't a newsreader it's a mistake!

El-Gonzo Jackson FROGS both me and Chuckcar (I just got EL-FROG-OED!!)

All hail Chuckcar the CZAR!! Or in F-R-O-Gland Chuckcar laFROG laCZAR, ChuckZar!!

I hate them both, With useless bogus bullshit you need at least *three* fulltime jobs to afford either one of
them

I'm a fulltime text *only* man on usenet now. The rest of the world downloads the binary files not me i can't
afford thousands of dollars a month

VBB = Volume based billing. How many bytes can we shove down your throat and out your arse sir?

The only "fix" for the CellPig modem is a sledgehammer.

UBB = User based bullFROGGING

Master Juba was a black man imitating a white man imitating a black man

Always do incremental backups of your data or you'll end up like the A-Holes at DSL Reports. Justin says i made
a boo-boo. Yeah boo-who.

Updates are for idiots. As long as the thing works there's no reason to turn
schizophrenic and develop a lifelong complex over such a silly issue.

Adrian "jackpot" Lewis is a mama's boy!

Jimmy Fricke is good for the game of poker
