A direct message from Sultan of Brunei himself.
That kind of scam is old but morons still take the bait. There will always be rich people who need to get their daughter married, people of high nobility in dire needs of funds they will pay back at 1000% interest later, and so on, and so forth. Because there is a vast amount of idiots blinded by the idea of having shitloads of money they wouldn't even know what to do with or waste everything on crap if it even was a trustworthy deal, so they will fall in that trap and then cry tears of blood and get laughed at. And nothing of value will be lost.

And the current financial situation has nothing to do with it. It's called homo sapiens sapiens and our superior intelligence shit or whatever.

There is a point when fabrications become the work of true artists.

You have an e-mail, the subject reads:

"I love you"

Ah, you're talking about the ILOVEYOU virus. Is the scripting engine still turn on by default now?

Another Fact: Some PC users don't even know what is a file extension. They were puzzled as if they were presented with a hard-to-solve secret of the universe riddle when they saw ".exe", ".doc", ".jpeg" etc. in the file names.

It is sad when I hear people complaining 'bout not being able to open certain files after renaming them.

BSDs, so many to choose today; Net, Free, Open, maybe Dragonfly, that one seems to be progressing in interesting directions.

Exactly what happened. When "PC Illiteracy" + "Windows XP". Actually it was when some (non-geek) friends borrowed my PC with Windows XP installed long ago. I've always and still unhide the file extensions till today.

First stuff I unhide whenever I start a fresh install. Or have to fix somepony else's computer and ask them why the default option still is on.

And then once the average computer user discovers the wonderful world of file extensions, there's that.

Getting a C# application written for Windows to work in Mono is about as enjoyable as repeatedly stabbing your testicles with a rusty fork

So... you buy a multiplayer game, but you have to pay more if you want to play with your friends visiting?
They sure know how to encourage people to play games together.

Last year I did a project about Kinect's uses, it was pretty nice.

But I'm really glad that it can be applied to any 3D cameras because giving so much power to a company that has interests in the DRM business can lead to potential bullshit such as the one linked above.

P.D.: I feel like DELETEFUCKINGEVERYTHING about the project now, and it took me close to three months to make.

I could never find any video converter that supports AMD Video Codec Engine (VCE).

Symantec-style DRM. Also, more privacy infringement. Consumers took another arrow in the knee but they'll probably keep buying shit anyway even if they have to pay it tenfold.

Windows gives WD HDD after 2 years and a couple of months of use.

*Runs test*

Faulty sectors: 514
Power on time: 240 days

Fuck you, WD.

Good thing I'm getting an external HDD soon.
