Shes a pro hacker... The one she fried was a pro hacker too. Before she got to her, my friend was helping protect my computer from her since I have no idea about hacking to protect my pc.

If I could call the police on her, I would. But sadly... She is someone we met online. Who is just a bitch.

Ugh... Where to start today?

A few days ago a really good friend was hacked by an ex friend of mine, and she fried her computers, causing her to spend hundreds of dollars on repairing them, and now I haven't been able to talk to her in a while. Oh, and she lost A LOT of personal files, and a lot of her life... I hope shes ok.

While talking to another friend on IMVU, she hacked his account, and computer, and is now threatening to hack me and the pack members. She threatened to ruin his hair salon, and make him loose his job....

And now... I'm afraid she's going to hack me. I got some stuff on here that I don't want her to fuck with....

ummm I thought you cant hurt the hardware of a computer just from hacking it......

They can probably make the computer freak out bec it cant handle whats going on. All you have to do tho is restart and pop in your installation disc and restore the operating system. Make sure you get an external HDD to backup all your stuff then reinstall the operating system however many times you have to. You will notice you are being hacked bec of obvious reasons or you will notice a decline in your computer performance. If this is the case just do the above after you have reformatted ur HDD.

Also dont let that little girl scare you. She cant ruin anyone's life especially IRL.
I am not a hacker nor do I know the first thing about hacking a computer, but I do know that it takes a lot of work and tons of time to even accomplish something like that. So if she claims to have done it in any small amount of time, she's feeding a bunch of crap to you.

If she does manage to harm you or your friends computer / data she can be in serious trouble especially if you report it to the police.

Macrium Reflect FREE Edition - Information and download

Better than any backup service. And better than Ghost. Been using this myself for the last year or so, set on a weekly schedule, keeping two images at a time (having a 1.5TB drive doesn't hurt in this regard) on a rotational type thing.

Make an image, put it somewhere. If worse comes to worse, format c: /s and the restore the image once you get Windows reinstalled. Everything should be put right back to as it was when you initially made the image.

Thank you King. I will check it out.

I don't know what it is about our trash pick-up service at these apartments, but it doesn't seem like they've been by since before Christmas. Were it just me living here that might work out OK, but the couple upstairs has three kids and that tends to mean a bit more trash than a single guy like me can produce. There's barely any space to put it in my assigned bin because neighbor came up with extra. I don't begrudge them for the excess, I just want to see it go as much as my own so we an all get along with our business.

Its like the garbage pickup guys only picked a few bags each time the last two weeks instead of all of it, because I can see bags I left in there weeks ago still inside. Gonna keep my eye out and make sure they do their damn job tomorrow. I've just never seen anything like this before.

Doesn't help that someone keeps stealing the garbage cans I put in my bin. Who the hell steals garbage cans?

I've said it before here, but I really fucking hate when it rains here because it turns every driver into a bumbling idiot. Yes, it's barely drizzling, so it's totally necessary to go 15 mph on the freeway. Dipshits.

Also, I would really prefer if all of our correspondences (addresses, at least) here were written in all caps. I'm looking at "Gilliland Rd" and really struggling to see which is an I and which is an L without bringing the paper right up to my face. In caps it's very easy to tell the difference between L and I.

What? This sounds like fake science.

Like somebody else said, disconnect your computer from the internet, back everything up, and reformat your hard disk drives. After that, purchase a decent anti-virus and sturdy firewall. You'll be good to go.

Man, the weathermen in my area just suck at predicting snow. We've been on the cusp of this big snowstorm hitting us. Nine hours of it being "here in the next couple of hours or so."

Schools cancel.
Companies close.

And the streets as of ten til 9am?

Totally clear.

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

This is going to be a long day.

My knees hurt, for some reason, even though I didn't do anything in particular to make them feel that way. On top of that, my back hurts like I'm having contractions. Well, I'm not pregnant, and haven't been for 5 years. So it's a bit unusual to say the least, but that's what it feels like.

And then there's this older woman I work with who keeps stretching at her desk and making weird moaning noises as she does it. Please. Stop. That. It's creepy and annoying.

I swear some people should never go out in public.

So I'm currently stuck in Crewe train station thanks to the bullshit muncher that is Richard Branson who can't operate a train company properly.

So I tried to catch the train to college today since I only have afternoon lectures today. Got to the station, I have half an hour and there was a Subway opposite so I decided to go there for lunch.

Got back to find that my train was delayed by half an hour. So thanks to that I was stuck in Stoke station for half an hour and missed my transfer at Crewe in order to get to Chester.

Now my transfer has been delayed and I'm an hour late for my lecture, a two hour slot and I'm STILL stuck waiting to get the train to college.

I'm thinking of just turning around and going home but I've already travelled halfway. Ugh I hate how the trains have been this year. I stand a VERY good chance at failing my course because I've missed so many fucking lectures this year.

I encountered a pop-up ad years ago that made my CD drive open. If they can pull stunts like that I'm certain they can do much worse.

Heck I know there are some programs that will let you adjust your fan speeds from your OS instead of the BIOS. All it would take is that kind of access and turning your CPU's fan off and BAM, no more processor. It's a bit of a stretch sure, but it should be possible at least in theory.

except most computers shut down once the CPU goes over some maximum safety cap.

I mean I'm not denying that it's definitely possible to damage computers through software, but %90 of this is just stupidity guys.
