Yep. At first glance I didn´t even realise that it WAS a link. Brain vacation.

there's been a few different spam bots making accounts on newgrounds over the last year or so that makes these weird "come talk to me, but click this link to do it!" PMs and just sends it to a ton of people.

Unh-hunh.

We had a thread in General for reporting them till the staff created a script that deletes the accounts. It started like every few days but I'm sure the load is small enough they just dump them after a month or more now.

Very well. I remember that thread now, and whoa, looks like it had quite the clientele...

Indeed.

yup, those are the same messages that the spam bots were making in the thread I linked to above. No worries the accounts will eventually be deleted by some auto running thing that deletes them on occasion.

I can imagine a Stephen King Mangle script skulking about, preparing to pounce on ANYONE who dares befoul the day of other users.

I am Jimmy Carter, 39th President of the United States (1977-1980). Mind if I sit and chat with all of you? I'd be more than willing to give my insights on current politics.

NO POLITICS IN THE LOUNGE!

I would expect a former president of all people to know better!
Then again, maybe this cluelessness explains your presidency perfectly....

Oh snap!

It's a joke, dude. ;-)

And April Fool's is by no means a government or religious holiday, either. It's just an excuse for people to prank each other. Which sucks, because I had yesterday off from work... I should have gone in with my head shaved, wearing sunglasses and a trench-coat, carrying a duffel bag. Just to fuck with 'em.

I would have LOVED to have seen the look on the H.R. manager's face if I were to have done something like that.

Separate question; do wireless cards eat up a lot of physical memory while active? I've been paring down programs on this comp in preperation for giving it to my mother, and I noticed that the fan is constantly running. Open up Task Manager, a little over 1/3rd of my availble physical memory is being dedicated to something running on this machine, and I can't figure out what. And the only thing I've got running right now (besides firefox) is the wireless card.

It sure doesn't seem to eat up that much memory.(you say 1/3rd of your avaiable ??
But how much does your machine have available , overall ?

Just because you're offended by the concept of furries doesn't mean it still wouldn't be totally hot to watch two chicks in Cat Woman and Psilock suits going at it.

Yargh. Moving into Crazy KKKarl's house next week. Recording all the time, playing gigs every weekend and some weekdays now. Incomplete sentences. Good chances of making one-off side project with KKKarl and his girlfriend. Almost 100% chance of it being a skinhead joke band.

HOWEVER, there's a good chance the new single "Vegas when I die" is going to KICK ASS in the recording, and I should have it uploaded sometime next week.

Something is causing my machine to eat up about 33% to 45% of available physical memory, and I'm not sure what.

I turned my machine completely off last night, unplugging the wireless card, and this morning it seems to be acting reasonably better. The fan isn't constantly running half the time, it's not near as slow as it was, but physical memory usage is still right at around 42%.

I've got the Resource Monitor open and am looking through the programs running, and there's shit on here going that I've never heard of... with the wireless program way on down the list of how much memory it's using.

*shrug*

I'll fix it or re-install windows, one.

The costumes are also insanely uncomfortable, difficult to remove, and hard to clean, so there's really more of a practical side to it.

Why do I hear the sound of water trickling?

Oh, that's just you pissing on my dreams. Nevermind.

You know, stripper heels are insanely uncomfortable and almost impossible to walk in. That doesn't mean I wouldn't want to watch two strippers make out now, does it? In fact, it actually makes it a little hotter, when you think about it. Never mind corsets...

MMMMm....... corsets....

Wait, where was I? Oh yeah, grossing you out with perversion.

Yup. Perversion. Man that shit is awesome.

Making out is one thing, but going any further requires the removal of those costumes, and like I said, they're a huge pain in the ass to remove. The Catwoman costume is PVC-coated spandex, which doesn't stretch much. Even leather is easier to put on and take off.

Plus if you've been wearing it all day, you're usually fairly miserable. Doesn't exactly put you in the mood to do much.

The only costume I've ever gotten busy in was a $40 Little Red Riding Hood costume from Party City. ;)

Keanu Reeves impression time!

WHOA.

I'm gone in LA for 4 days and come back to you guys talking about gay senators and making out in cosplay? And I thought I was weird. Oh well.

As previously mentioned, while I was in LA I met up with a buddy of mine who's a TV exec. Pitched a few ideas to him, we'll see where it goes from there.

It hit 80 degrees today.

I rode my motorcycle to the mountain, skied in a T-shirt and some shorts. There was pond skimming.

Clash of the Titans is a good movie.

Good to hear. I'll have to see it.
I've been ruined on a lot of those movies, but the ones dealing with myth are a little better. My brain doesn't instantly want to hemmorhage over every little historical inconsistency when it's a movie about mythology.

But Gladiator or 300? Can't get into em.

Although I'm a history buff, I thought 300 was a good action movie, even if it was historical inaccurate.

It's a gorgeous day here today.
I propped open the front door & popped some windows...It's almost 68 degrees here this morning !
(almost swimming weather)
I'm in the middle of making potato salad to go with our traditional , BBQ'ed Ribs & the Spicey Pit beans I made in the slow cooker yesterday (they were great last nite...they'll be awesome today )

Actually this traditional Easter meal is the first one ever for us ~;)

Hawaii is lovely this time of year.

Wait, no...

It's lovely every time of year.

So's my dick, but I don't see anyone trying to live in my pants.

hit the slopes today. Came home, opened up the windows and doors to get some air flowing and am currently waiting for the charcoal to be ready to cook up some chicken and potatoes on the BBQ

I disagree...
It's as generic a fantasy film could be... plus more.

I love the original 1981 version better.
And even if there wasn't a original, it's not all that good. So many over used cliches, and plot holes.

SPOILER--
How in the Hell did the hero realize that he was a demi-God? That was soooo sudden.

Watch the movie with the special effects... not for its story, plot, or characters.

The only thing I can remember is that Hades looks at him and says, "Interesting..." And I remember him telling Zeus that he has a son... but-- even then, how does Hades know Zeus has a son. For that fact, why doesn't Zeus know that he has a son period--

Gah--
Like I said.

Go see the movie for the special effects and stuff... not for it's story or characters.

I had 12 different versions of svchost running on my machine at once, including the legitimate Microsoft version. It turns out that certain types of malware can infect your machine and bypass your viruscan programs by disguising themselves as legit programs. One quick format and reinstall later, *poof*, here I am. :-\

One computer fixed, one more ready to go.

BLAGH!!!

It wasn't a virus, it wasn't one of my programs screwing with the machine... it was the windows updater. My machine doesn't have enough physical memory to run everything it supposedly needed to run after the updater went through and got everything I needed AND stay below a reasonable % of memory used.

Which means I have to crack open the case, figure out what kind of memory it takes, and then go spend more money I don't have on memory for this machine.

Would anybody blame me at this point if I hauled my whole machine out into the backyard and just unloaded a box of double-ought buckshot into it?

Heh. Happened to me as well. FIFA was all laggy.
Just wait 15 minutes or so.

Yeah, the situation seems to have solved itself for the time being.

What did Shrike and RedSkunk used to say in times like this? "Buy a mac?"

Rather, get windows seven. Srsly, that os is sleeeeeeeek. I got the Premium (and LEGAL =O) version on my phenom X3.

I like both mac and PC--

but Mac is certainly more user-friendly in EVERY way possible. I can't make the full conversion because I grew up using a PC. I mean, I knew how to use DOS commands... that's how long I've used PC computers.
