Ok Mr. CP Hero... John defender.... I think you're being sensitive if you taken that too serious.
That being said, I'm right.

I can't really tell if you are serious or not, even when you insert the obligatory "sarcasm" tag.
That being said, I'm left, down, and a bit off center.

Welcome to the Internet! People miscommunicating globally. That being said there was some part truth to my inquiry, but it wasn't intended to be that serious.

There were some good moments last night but it has jumped the shark. I think they signed a three year contract last year so... 2 more years?
They should quit whilst they are still vaguely ahead. Even Sheldon is becoming tiresome.
BTW, Penny. Sometimes really hot, sometimes really not.

Used to love it but it's been 2-3 years since I've had TV. I really miss all the reality sh*t. :sarcasm:

Penny cutting her hair.  It just doesn't work for some women.
Penny getting smarter.  Especially when Sheldon was training her like a dog.
The Shamy. Sheldon should have been left alone.

I think they said that about Friends round about Series 4. I expect your prediction to be equally way off (not least because it's already guaranteed for three years). I still heart it as one of the few comedies capable of making me laugh out loud when I'm all alone.
As for the haircut, Kaley Cuoco had to have her locks shorn for a film part off-season. There really wasn't anything the producers of Big Bang could do about it.

One of the web browsers on my computer (forget which one) is so badly infected with some sort of malware that it is absolutely unusable. I just don't open it any more.
Whether Firefox, Chrome, or IE (or whatever) it appears that it somehow magically picks up malware within 72 hours of operation. It doesn't matter if I hit any website or not.
The thought just hit me: if I could somehow do a complete un-install, then download a good copy from a place where I have confidence in the installation copy, such as...
- The real site from the real guys who wrote the code
- My own CD-Rom (which is not a R/W or whatever)
- A thumb drive with a R/W switch
- Whatever, you get the idea
...and then have some sort of facility like Ninite install the exact same (but just deleted) app again, I could have a system where I might be able to accommodate the less competent website designers who can't write standard code.
(Then again, do I want to accommodate people of such competency ? Separate topic)
What I'm thinking is something like Ninite, but which deletes and wipes away the existing app before it installs the new one.
Next incantation: The process is automated for 5, 10, or 15 different apps which are prone to pick up malware. The automated process starts before lunch and you come back with a fresh machine.
Nice idea: I wake up, start this process, then go take a shower.
Me and my machine, starting off the day; both fresh and clean.
I would be surprised if I'm the first one to have this idea.
Now if I could just figure out the wording to describe it for a web search.

The problem is that a lot of nasties install other code to re-infect your system even if you re-install the applications.
The only way to be safe is to low-level reformat/overwrite the entire disk drive, disconnect the network interface, turn the machine off, and put it in a closet. Not much use, but safe.

When I get this kind of problem, I run AutoRuns[^] ...it's a utility from Microsoft SysInternals...you can almost always find the problem in there...delete the offending files, discover the browser hijacks, etc., and stop them from reloading. Takes a while to be familiar but it does point out stuff it hasn't seen before.
You need to be a bit careful with this, just FYI 
|
|

Yes, I agree that AutoRuns is very useful in identifying offending files. I also keep a good image of my C:\ drive (known to be free from malware) and in extreme cases I re-image the systems drive. It takes less than 15 minutes in my case. I run a separate drive for my data, so data does not bloat up the image. The C:\ drive is only for the system and applications.

Yes they can be hard to find even with autoruns,
I had a system to work on at the beginning of the year where the malware left the display name of the antivirus software but changed the exe launched for the entry.
On the surface it appeared to be a normal entry for the said antivirus.
I also had to boot to safemode with command propmt to just start autoruns.

...and still going about 2 hours after I started it.
Still, it is much farther along than it would be on my Sony Vaio laptop, which took around 8-16 hours to build it, depending on what the computer decided to throttle at the time. (God that was annoying, impossible-to-remove software-based hardware throttling that worked in a seemingly random fashion. One minute it would make the CPU work at 50% speed for a while, and the next the RAM would slow to a crawl. And yes, there was code built into the firmware to reinstall the program if it was removed. At least it seemed that way... Remove it, and it would be back a few minutes later. No UAC prompts or anything...)

And this is happening where? on a Windows box?

Yup.

I just renamed someone's identifier that was called 'data' to be more self documenting:
'listOfThreeListsOfByteArrayRowThenColumnOfOneScaledColorChannel'
I should either be promoted or fired for that. I'm not sure which.
Can anyone top that for self-documenting identifier names?

Thank god for autocomplete!

Will be nice to name another variable within the same file as:
listOfThreeListsOfByteArrayRowThenColumnOfOneUnscaledColorChannel
|
|
|
|
|
Proposed return value for the method; an enum and an object, with the enum identifying the object.
public enum Result
{
Yes,
No,
listOfThreeListsOfByteArrayRowThenColumnOfOneUnscaledColorChannel
}
