I'm not a hardcore techie, so I'm just repeating what I've seen on the news pages and other sites about it.

I'm sure for most users, it would be the death of their computer because they would have no idea how to fix it.

From the articles on it, someone is using it to get a swarm of attack bots to do DoS {Denial of Service} attacks.

Other than the original person{s}, no one is purposely sending it out. It uses your various contact lists to propagate itself.

This is why everyone needs to get and keep updated their anti virus software and firewalls.

There was a relatively short lived trojan of the same name last spring that killed the zero sector of your hard drive making it completely unusable as it wiped out the firmware.

If you ever get an email with the title "you have recieved a postcard from {insert name}" DO NOT open it. Microsoft classes this as the most destructive virus/trojan to date.

This is not to be confused with the "virtual card for you" hoax from last summer.

Please see this site for more info;

No, I actually like the song.

My point is about the hypocrisy of the BBC ruling/decision.

If the word was nigger, paki, cunt, kike, etc, they would not have even attempted to bleep the word out, the song would have been banned outright. They also would not have backed down to the pressure of the public on the issue.

Hate group targets Ledger

Members of Fred Phelps' Westboro Baptist Church in Kansas plan to picket the funeral of actor Heath Ledger with signs claiming the actor died and is in Hell because he played a gay character in Brokeback Mountain.

The church website displays a bulletin that reads: "Heath Ledger thought it was great fun defying God Almighty and His plain word; to wit: God Hates Fags! & Fag-Enablers! Ergo, God hates the sordid, tacky bucket of slime seasoned with vomit known as 'Brokeback Moutain' Heath Ledger is now in Hell, and has begin serving his eternal sentence there."

Westboro Baptist Church, is not affiliated with a larger denomination and is made up mostly of Fred Phelps' extended family members. Phelps and his church gained national attention when they protested at the funeral of Matthew Shephard with signs that read "No Fags in Heaven" and "God Hates Fags."

Recently the radical church group has been known for picketing the funerals of soldiers who perished in Iraq. Last year a Baltimore jury awarded the father of a Marine whose funeral was targeted by Fred Phelps' group nearly $11m in damages.

The funeral protests have lead 22 US states, including Illinois, to enact or propose laws to limit the rights of protesters at funerals.

Westboro Baptist Church is also known to condemn Muslims, Roman Catholics and Jews.

Louis Theroux's BBC documentary America's Most Hated Family followed the activities of the Westboro Baptist Church last year.

According to the latest news, he had at least 6 different types of prescription sleeping pills in his system and at high doses too.

It's still being treated as accidental and not suicide.

@salsamat:

I understand I have been blocked for the ratio of 0.171 and all activity has been stopped but I cannot comprehend how that is possible since I have been seeding for a while now and actually have re-seed requests on seeds that are blocked at this moment.

I understand that you want to get rid of the leechers however, blocking me all together including my seeding?

How am I to get my ratio up now??????

You have downloaded 6 videos but they are all stopped. Four of those videos have leechers wanting the files.

It kinda looks like Rick Donavon.

Understand that encryption works best if both pusher and puller encrypt , no?

That is correct.

For encryption to work fully, both sides need to use it.

I like the idea. Hopefully there will people willing to help you with this.

I don't regret a single thing.

I do wish that being gay made no difference to anyone and that we were treated as total equals in society.

Except for being a moderator. If you have never posted in the forums, then you won't become a moderator.

@Scooley01:

I think there are many that will appreciate that gift of lowering the minimum, but there are plenty of us that would like to get a gift for having a higher ratio! I pride myself on getting at least 1.00 on all my torrents, and beyond…which is why my ratio is 4.862 here! I wouldn't mind a gift

You guys will get a set of nice gifts, but Tom needs a bit of time to code that stuff.

See the Ton's posts on the first page of this thread for some hints of what you will be getting.

Considering how many "gay for pay" in the porn industry, it doesn't surprise me at all.

Nothing other than confirm what I already knew.

Well, maybe it made me even gayer. I know, that sounds odd, but until the point that I had gay sex, I wasn't 100% sure I was gay. Self doubt and all that.

He's most likely a closet case that can't/won't get off the fence.

I have truly hetero friends that don't get hard then want me to suck them. If they are horny, they want a woman {wife, girlfriend, slag, hooker, etc} to suck them off, but never another guy.

Yes, I think this guy is gay or at the very least curious. Sadly to say, if you do anything with him, he will no longer be your friend, even if he turns out to be the biggest flamer you ever met.

Religion/culture/society have made it so we blame the person who "turned us gay". This isn't an issue for those that knew they were gay before having a gay encounter, but it's a huge issue for those that haven't.

As I always say, "don't shit where you eat". In other words, if you want to stay friends with this guy, don't mess with him no matter what he says, because he will end up hating you for it, regardless of what he says.
