haku, bahh.. Unfair stereotypes.. How do you define a nerd? Come on.. For you she might be ugly but for others she could be beautiful.

LOL QueenBee, i meant the exact opposite of what you understood. I have this fantasy that female nerds are sexy (i call that the Alysson Hannigan syndrome), so what i meant is "despite being a nerd (therefore sexy in my mind and also denial's apparently), she might be unattractive".

Plus, i consider myself a big nerd, but that's a counter example since i *am* unattractive. :P

[denial]

haku, we get those syndrom from movies ...LoL .. remember 'Hacker' ? and they use Angelina Jolie .. and The Net .. Sandra Bullock ..


PS:
I am not computer nerd or anything like it .. I just like to read articles and news about it.. and you don't have to be a singer to adore a good singer .... while waiting for TATU new album I mean .. ..

[QueenBee]

haku, so you mean I am attractive?! *Jumps around in joy* Well, I might not be a COMPUTER nerd, but an INTERNET nerd.. or wait, maybe I'm just a nerd in general..

[teeny]

haku, we get those syndrom from movies ...LoL .. remember 'Hacker' ? and they use Angelina Jolie .. and The Net .. Sandra Bullock ..

I have a question too...when you go to a website that requires to log onto a secure connection - to make a money transaction, for example - you can stay logged on for a limited time only - like 10 minutes or something. Is there a way to remain logged indefinitely? It has happened to me once or twice but I don't know how it happened. What internet security changes are required to do this?

thanks

spy this is not something YOU can set or unset. it is programmed into the code of the backend of the website. the company whose website it is, will instruct its programmers to set idle timeouts in order to ensure that should the person leave their pc while busy with a transaction, no one comes along and fiddles with it and commits fraud [for example] .

so really that control is in place programmed into the website for your own protection

you could try emailing the technical support of the company and ask them to extend the idle timeout by a few minutes.

[denial]

Thanks rosh, oiii .. my home PC I haven't update since 4th Feb!!!

*runs virus update again for today* ....make it your life style ......

[teeny]

best thing to do people, update your virus definitions !

Clicked update and it turned out to be updated already.. autopdate

A nerd is someone with a huge interest in a given subject. Or was that geek?
Anyway.. not a bad thing at all to be a nerd.. I hope

[haku]

Geek and nerd have very close meanings.

From my dictionary:

Geek: a person with an eccentric devotion to a particular interest.

Nerd: an intelligent, single-minded expert in a particular technical discipline or profession.


Of course, some people use those terms derogatorily to mean something like "lacking social skills and boring", but that's because they are less intelligent than us and jealous.

[denial]

awww ...


Anyway .. FREE FIREWALL!! introduce ....
Download: ZoneAlarm (free)

http://www.zonelabs.com/store/content/home.jsp


Okay.. so .. now we have the list of things to do since we are NOT a nerd or a geek and we want to have more time for social life and sex and romance ...

1. Run Windows Update Regularly [ set to automate download]
2. Run Anti-virus update Regularly [ automate update]
3. Install Firewall


For those spywares and pop-ups that slow our computer. Eliminate them FREE!!

1. Pop-Up Blocker
2. Spybot


uhh .. I'll fix this post later.

[teeny]

For those spyware and pop-ups that slow our computer
- Pop-Up Blocker

But that would make surfing more fun Then one will stay online even longer.. *tries to put blame at norton internet security*

anyway.. I am a nerd/geek, so the list don't apply to me, I guess

[denial]

TLFdk, ummm .. yes..not apply to you ....since you are the geek/nerd ...its your job... I will later suggest that we gather info from this thread and put them on the first page .. so it will be easy to find link than have to read the whole thread. Like the link to free Anti Virus, spybot and firewall, divx codex.. what else .. I'll do tomorrow to gather the links.. its already 12 midnight. ..or if you free...maybe you can help me .. . ...thank you in advance.. for you

darje, why are you so worry .. let them have fun and be creative .. people like that helps develope/improve computer security .. so those people selling computers and software will take seriously of the security of their product while keeping the "user friendly' enviroment.

For home user patch your computer regularly and update your virus patern and protect your ports with firewall. (which I dont do this myself )

Denial, I build computers. The largest I've ever gotten when it comes to virii was a trojan, and that was on Lenok v.1. Lenok v.2 has never been infected nor hacked into, and I expect it bloody keeps that way.

What you think is creative is hacking. What is NOT funny about it is that this girl isn't a hacker, she's a cracker. Oh don't mind me, I respect her enough already, most crackers have little to no imagination. The coconut virus shows that she at least knows how to create something fun while fucking up your system.

I stand my point, you're completely crazy. A hacker helps improve the security in a network/computer by breaking into it and checking out mistakes. They're seldom the same as crackers, whose "creative virus writing" only sends us back one month of development for each virus that goes worldwide. :/

[teeny]

..or if you free...maybe you can help me .. .

hehe.. well I was thinking a bit in that direction. But just wanted to find out if the computer section would be up first. If not I planned to keep it in here. I could edit the first post since it's mine.
