DEAR RECEIVER,
You have just received a Taliban virus. Since we are not so
technologically advanced in Afghanistan, this is a MANUAL virus.
Please delete all the files on your hard disk yourself and send this
mail to everyone you know.
Thank you very much for helping us.

-Taliban hacker.

havn't seen this one n a while... good thing I was just about to flat'n reload my pc anyways..

d**nit! I just got done fixing it too! Oh, well, here I go....

Oh no! Another Taliban virus! Thats the third one just this week... I need to get some antivirus software because my nortons isn't doing so good....... :10:

I think the only sure protection against a manual virus is to remove your visual receptors, thereby eliminating your ability to read the instructions, or by removing your manual manipulators, thereby eliminating your ability to carry them out.

Did you just ask me to poke out my own eyes? Hmmmmm :21: where did I put my pen???...... Ahhh there it is......*squish* *poke* ....................... owwhhwwehw nmow I casn't swee whjat I asm tyupinhg........ :dead:

Muahahahahahaha!  :13:

Does nobody see the racism spread throughout this topic?  :13:

If you close your eyes it can't see you, so it isn't there. You could also remove your visual receptors and it won't be there anymore.

May I just take of my external visual receptors? It doesnt hurt as much to remove the glasses.

If they've been used to see any part of the manual virus, however, you must smash them with a hammer.

All these commands, I think you must manufacure Taliban viril. Because of you I'm now leagally blind (I went and saw my optomitrist [maby saw is the wrong word] and he said I have 0/20 vision], I have to buy a new pair of glasses, and I'm chained in every way possible to my chair and the wall. I even have my mouth covered with tape so I can't tell my computer what to do. I have a friend type everything I say to him in morse code by tapping my toes together.  :wallbash:

Original text...

You see as well at twenty feet as the average person sees at zero feet? You have super human sight now, bud.

Due to dyslexia, I got the numbers reversed, but the idea is still the same: 0/20 is extreme far-sightedness while 20/200 is legally blind so you may be more 20/infinity is what you were going for. :P

Can you believe that I had to explain this joke to a girl at work this morning? What makes it especially sad is that I work for an IT company...  :slap:

ohhh,.......uh my friend must have mistyped it cause I told him in morse code to put 20/infinity...... :hmm:

I dunno... I was just pulling stuff out of my butt and ended up being hoisted on my own petard and trying feebly to save face.

I officially give up.  :16: I know approximately what the numbers represent being horribly nearsighted myself, but I'm not entirely certain what fully blind would be represented as, if anything.

ummm I'm only in second year spanish and my translator is broken...... My decoders have started working on this but they said it is a highly developed code that is harder to break then the Russian's code was..... :confused: shed some light on us about your secret speak?  :angel_not:

That's because it's French and no one understand the French, not even the French!

I understand French lol :P

I don't, but I'm pretty sure the word "petard" is French. I only know English, German, Japanese, and Spanish.

Petard
A petard was a medieval small bomb used to blow up gates and walls when breaching fortifications.
A petard mortar was the demolition weapon fitted to the Churchill AVRE tank. It was a mortar of a 290 mm bore, known to its crews as the "flying dustbin" due to the characteristics of its projectile: an unaerodynamic 20 kg charge, sufficient to demolish many bunkers and earthworks and even disable a  Tiger tank, which could be fired up to 100 m.


You're right ^^

I've learned dutch (motherlanguage), french, english, german and good ol' latin in school. Also 1 year of good ol' greek..

This doesn't mean I can speak them all fluently though  :laugh:

I certainly don't speak German, Japanese or Spanish fluently, but being multilingual at all is odd for a yank, wouldn't you say?  :laugh:

We don't get much encouragement to learn about other cultures and languages here in the States.

Hmm.... this seems to be a paradox! I'll have to examnie it closer....... *dink* :frusty: , well my head hit the screen..... thats enough sleep for today  :5:

Well done lad!  :13:

I was gonna say more but I didn't want to hurt anyone's political feelings and get told to "love it or leave it" or some such nonsense.

You have my attention now  :16:

Send me a private message otherwise with what you were going to say  :laugh:

Message sent.  :13:

Speaking of forgin languages, whats "Du doch nicht!" mean? :confused:

Literally: "Not you."

Actually: "You and who else?"
Similar to the phrase, "You and what army?"

Reference: It was painted on the tail fins of many World War I German fighter planes to taunt the Allies who were attempting to shoot them down, basically to indicate that it would take more than their pathetic selves to take them down. German planes were notoriously more maneuverable and more heavily armed so it often literally took more than one Allied pilot to do the job.

Cool, how's it prononced?

I have a bit of a Bavarian accent when I speak German so other German speakers may disagree with this but it's pronounced kind of like this:

D-oo d-ah-k n-ee-sh-t.

'Du' is pronounced just like 'do' as in "you do something."

'Doch' is pronounced like 'dock' when you have a sore throat and the 'ck' sound is slurred a bit almost to a 'ch' sound as in "cheese."

'Nicht' is pronounced like 'knee' followed 'sh' ending with a hard 't' sound like saying sh*t without the vowel that gets edited out there.

I do disagree with you.

'Du' is prononced as you said but I would pronunce 'doch' like dock but with the sound Achmed the dead terrorist does when he tries to pronunce his own name instead of ck..

'Nicht' is pronunced n-i-ch-t (short I and ch as in church).

I think Im a bit wrong myself. I jumped out of german class to do something else instead.

Exousia was closer on 'nicht', except it is more like n-i-h-t (n is not likt knee! and ch is more like h here, not like ch in church).

otherwise Arthur is right for doch :)

lpJ.

You actually German/Swiss/Another German Speeking Country or should I just continue to go by my aunt's advice who lived Frankfurt for 30 years? I may not have communicated the correct sounds either, I'm terrible with spelling. 'Ch' in 'church' was the closest approximation I could think of at the time, so it's probably incorrect. Crap! Now that I think of it 'i' is a short sound, isn't it. 'Knee' is also incorrect.

I was tired, alright! :16:

Emi is online and answering messages and woohoo  :atention:

Termul, our problem will be solved soon!

It doesn matter Nightroad. What does matter you didnt do it better then me. That means that Im not worse then you.

Donn; Does it mean we get a mod?

I'm sure sound alright. I only made my aunt laugh at my pronunciation once (maybe twice). I was just happy to have something other than the public school curriculum to guide me.

Well no first of all the collect default is gone now. It has been reset.

And second: I have messaged Emi, as many others have done the last few days / weeks, about the problem of being able to lock your BW.

He responded that it should be a killable process, activating your own virii.. Except ofcourse the Revelation Virus.

Another bug / exploit fixed.. Woot!

I got other things that guides me then school. I read two books of Steohen Hawking. It was entertaining but I doubt Ill ever have use for my knowledge. But how to connect a groupwire (its called gruppledning in swedish) with a central is a knowledge which will help me getting a job.

Donn; Good job posting before me AGAIN.

 :laugh:

How did a joke email post turn into a discussion of foreign languages, Stephen Hawking, german war aircraft, game bugs, and getting a board moderator?

*passes out Ritalin*

You haven't noticed now we derail virtually all topics around here?  :laugh:

That's what I love about this board.

We're like a bunch of Russian partisans, blowing up the tracks and derailing trains with impunity.

I suppose, if I were a moderator, I'd have to curtail that stuff, though.  :shifty:

Why? It should be OK for threads to be derailed, no? I guess if you let threads get derailed, you might be forced with a tough decision of which section the thread belongs though.

Generally, one of the functions of a moderator is to lock threads that get derailed too badly. The way threads go around here, most would be locked because of derailment unless they're in whatever or general.

Wow, thats alot of different ways to prononce it....... but I think I got it now..... :14:

And this topic is in whatever, so it shouldn't be locked... :10: Plus I wouldn't have any post if I had to stay on topic because most things that are on topic are dreadfully boring... :4:

Don't be silly.

There's always some deviation from the OP, but complete derailment without any hope of return is something mods usually curtail. It's a lot of case-by-case judgment too. Deviation and even derailment may be relevant to the OP.

I always weigh in the usefulness of the derailment.

QFT  :19:

Hmmmm, I should start a thread about derailment when we get a mod, so that when they look at it they won't be able to tell it has been derailed.  :15:

Cliché, but an ornery mod might lock it if it keeps on track at all.

Without thread derailment, the board would be nearly dead.

Something to take into account.  :19:

Well, then I could try to sue the mod for unmodly behaviour.... :laugh:

Mods are above the laws of man.   :13:

Then I'll have no problem, because I'll be sueing under the laws of robots!  :borg: :borg: :borg:
