No internets!

Well, I recently moved, and there are no internet options here whatsoever. No possibility for DSL, satellite is too expensive and requires at least a two year contract, and no cable. So, this limited service on my blackberry is all I have.

Obviously, I won't be on IRC for a while, since cell phone service here is two bars at best. And stupid ATT charges extra for blackberry tethering. We're thinking of getting a laptop connect card, but that may not even work.

So, in the meantime, I've been playing a crapton of games. Already beat Castlevania, and have nearly everything to get (100% maps, all but Albus's glyph, only missing two enemy's drops, etc.) I've been playing through Fallout 2 in anticipation of 3. And of course, plenty of Mother 3 (yayyy!). Megaman 9 is too busy kicking my ass to let me progress much.

So, if I can get a laptop connect card to work, I'll be back around. Otherwise, I'm not moving to a more "connected" place until February.

Wah, that sucks. I know what it's like to have no internet. I had withdrawal symptoms. :O
Hopefully you'll manage just fine.

Whatever god you believe in, may that god help you through this now.
Unless you don't believe in any. Then you're fucked.

I think I'd go absolutely bug-nuts without a real internet connection. 56k....UGH! Might as well be browsing on the DS.

I feel for ya man.

I freak out when I don't have internet for just three days let alone out right... I'm addicted to AIM more than anything really. Dedication that you typed all of that on your cell phone, proper grammar and all. :)

    Anytime you come across a suspicious file, a detected threat, suspect a file detection may be a possible false positive or you want a second opinion, submit it to one of the online services that analyzes suspicious files for possible malware.

  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    I installed a Windows XP ISO onto a VM and used a fake product key, as does everybody else, so my best bet is that it's either a false positive or Windows XP having terrible security.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    The product key generator could be tied to mailware like mentioned in the links
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    No, just found product keys in a list on archive.org
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    whatevs, Security removed it from my device
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    There you go
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @K3Nv3, Cloud scanners often interpret machine learning to understand the inner workings of a program and checks to see if functionality compares to how malware operates. Hence why it's not always accurate and you get false positives such as W32.Wacatac.

  • ZucchiniMaiden @ ZucchiniMaiden:
    It's interesting that the ISO came with the browser though, is it also pre-loaded with other stuff?
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    now, back to what I was doing last night: going insane because Firefox can't set the new tab page to your custom new tab page-- apparently as a security issue
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Yes that was also mentioned in the links I posted
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    @ZucchiniMaiden No no, it was a blank install of XP, I installed the software afterwords lol
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    I would not recommend using a product key generator to generate keys, you can find em on the internet relatively easy. And as for Windows XP keys, a certain GitHub page has them. :P

    Pirated copies of os can also be detected especially with torrent links

    @Kirbydogs That makes more sense. Lol.

  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    Now, hmm...
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    Is there a Firefox feature in like maybe about:config to change the new tab page to the home page?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Settings > Home > Change 'New Tabs' to anything.

    Milk from Aldi always tastes weird.

  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    "New Tabs" only has Firefox Home or Blank Page
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @K3Nv3, There's the Windows Genuine Advantage that got implemented in SP3 if I remember which checked the license of your Windows installation to see if the key was either pirated or whether it's been activated.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Hav nt had an issue with their milk but bought creamer and it was like cottage cheese
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It got a lot of controversy because it acted in a way like spyware, but really who cares, Microsoft likes to spy on you.

    If you can't download windows directly from Microsoft always expect risks never know what user could leave out during re-upload

  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Unless you got a physical copy of a os which can be found at thrift shops
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Always expect risks on outdated versions of Windows, there's probably a dozen or more vulnerabilities for XP that haven't been patched after the Blue exploit.
