Not exactly sure what it does ... all I know is that I think this one exploits the buffer overflow problem with windows RPC (remote procedure call) that can be used to run any program on any pc! So basically, it can be used to do anything. From what I have heard, this thing also then uses your PC as part of a big denial of service (DoS) attack against microsoft servers.

I hate funerals. They are so stupid. The next funeral I'm going to go to will be my own. Just bury the dead and get it over with. What's with the loooooooooooooong ass ceremony and all the halleluya halleluyas? Wedding ceremony I understand ... as a groom, you want to delay the inevitable as much as possible. But with a funeral, don't you want to bury and get things over as soon as possible? It's like you get a bunch of people in one place, and even those who are not depressed start to get so down because of all these depressed people around ... then all of a sudden one of them starts crying and gna galis em .... they all start with the wining and crying

EDIT: was previouslly titled: "How To Remove Msblast Worm From Your Pc" but seems like more of these RPC hole worms are popping up. A lot of people seem to have this stupid worm these days. If you haven't updated your windows recently (using windows update) you are at risk since this exploits a pretty huge security hole in windows. this article at cnet will tell you how to get rid of msblast if you have it.

Sorry ... neither will work. In the first one, i starts at 0 and n is -20. So the loop will never execute since i In the second one, i=19, n=20 and i-- ... that will print a LOT of '-'s because i will be less than n for a long time! Note that in the original problem, you can only change one character. You can't add characters, you can't remove characters, and you can only change one character into another character.

Whale flatulence stuns scientists As of today, science has completely changed.

... and let me guess, his name is Vrej? I have to say I didn't go through a lot, but that site made me laugh a couple of times ... especially the part where it categorizes armenians into "hairy" and "very hairy" but about this: Really? more than 6.5 years?!!! Whoever came up with that number, obviously hasn't met my cousin. Talk about weapons of mass distruction!!!

Well, if you want to take this back to topic, I know full well what happens to the chicken after it's dead. It usually involves seasoning, lemon, peper, garlic, and lot of heat.

They say it was caused by lightning ... this is obviously a SERIOUS flaw in the design of the grid ... I had been seeing different reports in the past few years that the grids are very vulnerable (especially during the california power crisis) but this is just rediculous.

Obviously you haven't seen me debone an entire chicken with my teeth.

What's the question?

how about "four"? Does "four" qualify as yet another four-letter word?

Yah it shouldn't be a problem. Just make sure you don't block the intake or exhaust vents otherwise it could overheat and die. For example, don't put it on a pillow or something soft that could block the air.

Oh and how do I know there is a possibility we can make "artificial brain"? Since brain exists. If something exists, then there is a possibility we can make it (or something like it).

Right now? No. Will it maybe be possible in the future? Maybe. Right now, we already have artificial heart, artificial limbs, artificial eye. It will only be a matter of time until we come up with artificial brain. First step will be to communicate with existing brains. I don't think that is too impossible to imagine. What will come next, I have no idea. One thing is for sure though ... current "transistor-based" technologies are waaaay too simple to emulate a human brain.

I just can't get over the information density in that post!!! Not too many people can do that.

I officially nominate Jano1968 for the best new member of hyeforum award And Vava, I'm taking the US 5th ammendment on that one (i.e. I am not going to answer)

and for those of you with dirty minds, no, it's not the "C" word.

Suppose I give you a piece of rock. Inside that rock, there could be a very very beautiful thing which will answer all questions that we have ever had. Could there be such a thing in that rock? sure. Do I believe there is something in there? Hell NO. I have no reason to believe such a thing, other than my wild imagination. Are you going to make another 5 paragraph post about all that fancy stuff? Keep it simple ... Ockham's Razor to the rescue.

I am NOT asking for proof. I am only asking for a slight evidence of why we would even think about there being something after death? As far as I can see, the only reason "something" after death is being considered is human imagination. Thus, I don't believe in it.

Again to clarify, I fully understand that we humans can't see or know everything. But all I am asking for is a slight shred of evidence that there is something after death. Until you can show me something like that, of course I have no reason to believe there is something like that. Now if you want that we go on discussing possibilities and maybes and what ifs ... sure we can do that but I never base my beliefs on any of those things.

You won't feel anything, you won't remember anything, you won't learn anything, you won't forget anything, you will not be angry, you will not be sad, you will not be mad, you will not be happy ... etc etc etc .... nothing will matter since you will be dead. You will be no more. There will not be anymore "you". As far as the last part of what you said, there is EVERYTHING to point to the fact that there is nothing after death. There is NOTHING to point to there is something after death, other that what we have created with our imaginative minds. And as you well know, I am more a believer of facts rather than fiction. Could there be something after death? Sure there could. Is there something after death? Hell no! No pun intended

Here's my conclusion: Death is the end and we all know it and that's why so many are affraid of it. People try very very hard to convince themselves there is something after that but of course there isn't. Have you ever passed out in a coma (I have, twice for surgeries ... one to repair my borken shoulder) where you don't remember anything and nothing basically happens? Death is like that, except it's permanent.

Has anyone actually ever beat a "difficult" game in Spider Solitaire that comes with Win XP? This frigging thing is IMPOSSIBLE

Alright ... next vacation ... good fesenjan + vava ... bad fesenjan + nairi ... good fesenjan + vava ... bad fesenjan + nairi ... well, the choice is clear.

Someone should go slap that kid and to tell him what a lucky bastard he is. He has become completely famous over night and this is a HUGE opportunity for him ... but all he can do is be "embarassed" and mentally scarred. The idiot can probably make soooo much more money than the couple of hundred thousand canadian dollars they are trying to get from his friend. I would have LOVED to be in his place. He is so well known among millions and millions of people.
