The Facebook Virus?
I'm waiting for Virtual Reality Harvest moon. VR game where you do manual labor, make friends, and start a family....sounds like fun...right?
VR game in which you start a family? On a social networking site consisting of KIDS? Oh gods... no...

I was referring to the fact that it would be a VR game of a game that simulates farm life in a small town. So basically a recursion in life its self :P
also in that game you don't actually see the sex. it's a E rated game...for those of the non esrb rated comunities that's one step up from games rated for early child hood.

Hey, I was just kidding. :)
Good luck placing it up on Facebook, and I hope you contract no STDs (SIP Transmitted Dangers).

Haha, quote of the day here.
@computerqeek01,
What?! Lol! How could seeking on a hard disk break it? You realise how long these things are supposed to last? I've had a 20 GiB disk since 2000; how many seeks do you suppose that has performed?
So? Hard drive controllers have firmware, VGA cards have their own BIOS, and I think Intel processors use microcode this is old news. It's as easy as re-flashing it. Unless you live under a rock it's fairly easy to fix.
Yes that works. Because firewalls are totally useless of course. I mean, viruses from facebook constantly launch themselves across the internet to attack people. They're horrible, ravenous viruses that want to eat your datas!
You can't just get viruses off the internet anyway. You could only plausibly get a virus from downloading something. There's not much even a PHP, CGI or ASP script can do.

| Flash BIOSes, yeah kind of you're on the right thought track, that's one of them but your CD-ROM has firmware to. |

Can you catch a virus from Facebook? Yes, there is little or nothing protecting you from code that your idiot friends downloaded and pasted to their site. |

To everyone who doubt that "software can destroy hardware", please grab a copy of some hardware firmware source code or very low-level hardware drivers and grep the comments for words like "destroy".
You will be surprised how many mission-critical parameter current hardware exposes to the user.
Ciao, Imi.
PS: Another funny readings to kill the safety-feeling would be to read the manuals of different "overclocking tools" from ATI and nVidia.

If that was at me, I didn't say it was impossible for software to destroy hardware. If it was, how would operating systems and BIOSes work?
I was also going to mention AMD/ATi's "Overdrive utility" (which is, I believe, open source).

@Overdrive utility: It is. Thats where software like MSI Afterburner comes into play.
I monitor all of my hardware constantly so I would definitely notice something out of place but I might not notice a virus punching my motherboard in the vagina since I have no way of monitoring something like this. I guess I'll go run a check on my parents computer then. *sigh*

| Anyone remember the days when you use to see kids playing in the park and football fields? I haven't seen anyone in those sort of places in a long time. Sad really. |
Hmm... I remember what I did in my adolescent years in the parks: get dead drunk with beer and mastika(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mastika - a kind of ouzo) because this was the cheapest way.
I met more people with criminal inclinations in the park than the sum of all other places. Shooting games are far safer than parks, they always were.

the Boris garden, in the center of Sofia.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borisova_gradina
It used to be almost completely dark during the night, and still is - only a few lamps on the main alley (the new government is just as corrupt as the old ones, they only steal the people's money).
We used to bike to the edge of the lighted area, and kill all the alcohol we had. The trick is, if you can't see the eventual robbers and thieves hiding in the bushes, they can't see you either. To be safe I never carried more money with me than I could drink through.

Sounds fun. The good old days of being able to muck around and have fun. Yes what you said sounds fun... memories :) - Now it's all study study study :(
I don't understand what the booze has to do with going through the unlit area undetected. Besides, surely you could outrun any pursuer while on the bike.
That aside, damn, that's a gorgeous park.

When I used to study for courses, etc., I felt stressed, but I still found time for drinking and messing around. Now however, my I am working on my own project, with far more things to study/do: it has ever since been a total black hole for me.
The big problem is that I don't miss that much talking to people/getting drunk/messing around - and that, I say, is the scary part.
[Edit:] @helios booze has nothing to do with being undetected, unless you drink till you become invisible ;)

Yeah I can say the same for I don't miss it that much. Might not be a great programmer yet but I get lost in my own little code world. Then again it might be just because I spent all of high school just messing around, now I actually take things serious.

The first is Windsor Castle (not a park, but still), the second and third are Hyde Park and the last is Greenwich park.
England, I am comming!
After I finish debugging this nifty piece of code and implement this other class, of course ;)
