Tale

Spoken like someone who's never played co-op! Co-op is more about a good excuse to hang out with your buddies. As long as the game isn't complete **** it can be a total blast. Unless you're one of those anally retentive OH SO SERIOUS BIZNESS gamers who during a co-op campaign tries to get everyone to behave in coordinated patterns and throws a fit everyone your buddy shoots you in the back.

This is why it was detected as a rookit

One filled with adventure. People seeking me to grant them power if they finish my trials!

Things being mistaken as a Rootkit originated in a rootkit revealer program that noticed a hidden registry key. The mistaken claim of a rootkit does not originate from anywhere else. Now, I have disagreements with what they did install. But to call it a Trojan is as much FUD as calling it a rootkit.

So, in relation to 2K, how does it feel to have them Sucker you guys! Suckers! Personally, good luck at removing it if you really want it removed. It's a major [word that cannot really be said here] to get rid of. There are three different little items that you have to remove, and they are all at the base level of Windows, so it's not going to be any typical walk in the park. To tell the truth, AVG can detect portions of it probably, but I don't think it will be able to do a complete clean of it due to how low level in the programming this Trojan affects. What you are talking about is seperate from what is mistaken for the Rootkit. IT INSTALLS A WINDOWS SERVICE. Which is quite easy to turn off as it is a windows service and is listed under windows services. The full extent of the administrative abilities it gives to other users I can't speak to, but supposedly it's limited to only SecuROM functions.

Assistant to the bean counter. The bean counter does a lot of extra office work and is more of an office manager. I mostly do entry level accounting. Data entry and some reconciling.

Computers don't need more power! That's a conspiracy and myth. Telling people that computers have to draw more power is just the government's way of taxing video games and the internet!

It's ideas like this that kind of have me anticipating the game inFamous.

Oh dear. Now he's started writing the number 7 as a backwards F.

Y'know, now that I think about it, I'd probably only try to stop one or two genocides. Then I'd get disillusioned. Then the real party would begin. First, I would go completely insane! Then, I would start speaking in a bastardized old english and ask people with revolutionary ideas "Doest thou desire the power?" If I could grant them power, I'd give them a bit. If I couldn't, I'd make a fake test that they couldn't possible pass. I'd essentially be setting myself up as a demi-god.

I certainly would! There's plenty of national fights where you can look at them and say "what in the name of Zombie Jesus, this is madness, this should be stopped!" Things as ridiculous as race wars. I'd have little qualm about going in and breaking the kneecaps of everyone involved.

Epic, but the wrong place for it.

This is some tiresome crap. Some of the employees here are given credit cards so that they can buy materials for jobsites. Some of them use these credit cards to buy their lunch and groceries. Practically daily. Not just once in a while, all the time. It's wetodddid. Maybe it wouldn't annoy me so much if they actually wrote "Personal" on their receipts instead of "Prosol." Wtf is that? It's not just one guy here who spells like that, either. And they're not ESL speakers. Stay in school, kids. Edit: Hey, look at this receipt! "Rroson." Jesus the Hedgehog Christ.

Can you use it to scare your neighbor's kids?

I feel sorry for you. I keep considering getting JA2, but I'm sure as heck not going to buy that version!

Are they really? Huh, never knew that. I actually didn't know about it either at first. Someone told me over at PlanetBaldursGate.

I hate HP so much. Their old practices used to annoy the bleeding crap out of me. (imagery not intentional) My old computer was one of theirs. They don't give you any discs. Which is a ridiculous hassle when your hard drive craps out and you want to reinstall the operating system on a new one. Going without while I wait for them to mail me not an OEM OS disc, but a bloated driver/special offer/OS/crap program bundle is not what I like to do.

SecuROM seems to install 3 things in particular: 1) Hidden registry keys (this is what gets detected as a rootkit) 2) A directory. I don't know if this directory is hidden or not. 3) A windows service that allows non-admin users to access SecuROM functions. Two things to note: 1) A rootkit is a general description of a set of programs which work to subvert control of an operating system from its legitimate operators. Usually, a rootkit will obscure its installation and attempt to prevent its removal through a subversion of standard system security. Techniques used to accomplish this can include concealing running processes, files or system data from the operating system. [wikipedia.org] SecuROM does not subvert any control of the operating system. Nor does it obscure its own installation or prevent its own removal. 2) If it does hide a directory, it's still as much a security vulnerability as if it were a rootkit, so you're practically arguing semantics if on the topic of vulnerability. Even if it's not subversive like a real rootkit. There's no excuse for a game to be hiding anything from the OS (and subsequently the user), anyway. It's not a rootkit, but it is retarded. PS: You can uninstall all of this without a reformat. It's just more complicated than using the uninstaller.

Gizmo. 2 years old now, 1 year old in the picture.

I think my random number generator is broken. The last five wild surges I've had have resulted in a sex change. It got to the point where I stopped reloading, because I'd just end up changing again 30 minutes later. Gender changes are time limited, not permanent. Why would you reload after one?

He's propositioning men in a public stall. I'd say there's more to it than he's gay. He's gay, cheating on his wife, a hypocrite, and being particularly indecent. Assuming it's true.

EXTREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEME!

Hey guys, Federalism obviously means NO FEDERAL GOVERNMENT! Even the founding fathers understood the utility of a Federal government. It's like you think everyone against the federal government holding too much power over individuals are like those militants who tried arguing that Texas was still a Republic.
