Computer and Electronics / I think I found a virus...

« on: March 17, 2011, 07:34:08 AM »

Yeah I just noticed that a suspicious and annoying executable known as "exhost.exe" keeps re-appearing on my Application Data folder (C:\Documents and Settings\[user_name]\Application Data). Kaspersky has already notified me of this (marked as a possible Trojan), but at this time it's unable to find the culprit that keeps (re)creating the executable.

I checked the properties of the .exe and found out that its original filename was "bhonymz.exe". I wonder if anyone has had this before, because I couldn't find any info on it on the interwebs, and I really wanna get rid of it before anything else bad happens. D8

Any advice?

EDIT: Nevermind, I fixed the problem. Apparently the virus added an executable to the system's startup list which might've been the cause of all this. All I had to do was go into safe mode, run the System Config Utility, and disable that POS from starting up. After that, I was able to remove the virus without it reappearing again. What a relief!

The Fridge / Athletes penaltized due to "strange" acts

« on: February 25, 2011, 07:40:21 AM »

This is certainly an interesting read.

http://sport.id.msn.com/photogallery.aspx?...umentid=4666078

Yeah it's in Indonesian, so I'll do the honor of translating it here.

Do they deserve to be punished?
These athletes were penaltized due to acts that "may" be strange.

It wouldn't be an exciting season if there weren't many soccer players who were penaltized due to being too enthusiastic taunting at the opposing players, or were sued and fined due to calling referees names on the radio or any other media after the match.

But, do you know that these athletes were apparently penaltized due to doing things in this list? They were penaltized because they were doing things that "may" be considered offensive / strange by updating their Twitter status during a match. Wanna know more about the things they did that got them penaltized? Just tune in to our list...

Robbie Fowler (page 1)

In 1997, Liverpool's eleventh striker, Robbie Fowler, was seen as someone good in the eyes of many soccer fans by asking the referee to cancel his (the referee's) decision to give himself a penalty kick.

Once again, Robbie Fowler has also proved he himself is good for many supporters in politics. After Liverpool had won a match agains SK Brann from Norway, Fowler turned his shirt inside-out showing off a slogan which supports the Liverpool dock workers strike.

Due to this, Fowler was fined £900 for showing his political support. Until now, the UEFA representatives feel that the fine which was given to Robbie Fowler was strange and unfair.

Ryan Babel and Chad Ochocinco (page 2)

Last month in January 2011, Liverpool's former mid-fielder, Ryan Babel, received a fine from FA after having published referee Howard Webb's photo wearing a Manchester United uniform on Twitter after Liverpool had lost against Manchester United.

The same thing happened with star NFL player from Cincinnati Bengals, Chad Ochocinco, who was fined a total of US$25,000 due to sending a Tweet during a match. NFL has a rule that restricts the use of social networks during matches, and coincidentally what Ochocinco did can easily be tracked by a detective just by looking at the time at which he sent said tweet.

Accidentally, Chad Ococinco was again fined a total of US$20,000 during his review, "I was only being myself", was the only defensive statement that he could say.

Ferrari (page 3)

One of Formula One's teams, Ferrari, received a total fine of US$100,000 after asking one of their racers to lose on purpose in a race that he actually had won.

Felipe Massa was asked to slow down to allow his teammate, Fernando Alonso, overtake him. This created an incident which caused a huge public protest.

Reports that were given after the race was over explained that Massa was asked to let Alonso overtake him, and Massa refused to let Alonso do so. After the news has spread, it was told that Alonso and Massa's relationship shattered even more.

These are only the first three pages. I'd translate the rest, but right now I'm tired of typing. Plus, translating long articles isn't really easy.

Anyways, you guys get the idea. What are your thoughts on this?

Gamers Zone / Guitar Hero is dead

« on: February 10, 2011, 11:21:14 AM »

After releasing sequels after sequels of Guitar Hero once (or twice) every damn year, ActiVision has finally succeeded in killing off the plastic guitar franchise due to the fact that they were not able to make enough profit out of the franchise anymore.

R.I.P, 5-colored plastic guitar frets.

...

On the bright side though, there's still the Rock Band series.

Gamers Zone / Minecraft

« on: January 07, 2011, 12:37:54 PM »

I've heard a lot of craze about this game. Just one thing that I don't get: what's so fun about it? How could something so simple possibly be any fun at all? I've tried playing it once, but I fail to have that "fun" feeling that everybody has been having for the past few months playing the game.

Hobbies and Recreation / TypeRacer, anyone?

« on: November 20, 2010, 05:54:01 AM »

http://play.typeracer.com/

It's kinda like one of those free online typing test sites, only this one allows you to race with people from around the world to see who's the faster typist. It also keeps stats of your typing speed and accuracy, and through this, you'll automatically be paired with other typists of your level every time you race. You could also invite your friends and race with them instead.

Oh and the paragraphs that you'll be typing there will be quotes from books, songs, video games, etc.

Sooo... anyone interested? Or maybe any of you have been to the site before? Personally, I find this the most fun online typing test website I've been to so far.

Btw, my average typing speed is around 90-ish WPM.

Computer and Electronics / The new MSN 2011...

« on: October 30, 2010, 12:18:55 PM »

I really don't like the new interface. It's all so unfamiliar to me. And they've removed the ability to use screen names, forcing you to use your real name as your screen name. So now I have to change my real name on my Windows Live profile just to get the name that I wanna use. Really annoying. Oh, and you can't use special characters on that either. <_<

Seriously guys, if you'd still like to have screen names on MSN, I suggest NOT to update your MSN to the new one. It's terrible, and I regret having mine updated. -_-

Microsoft, I am disappoint.

Gamers Zone / How to pronounce "EA SPORTS"

Probably the funniest EA-related video I've ever come across on YouTube.

Gawd, I couldn't stop laughing when I found that. XDD

LBT Multiplayer RPG Project Discussion / Music suggestion

« on: August 08, 2010, 02:41:53 AM »

If it's okay with you guys, may I make a suggestion to use these 2 music for the main menu and for in-game?

http://www.mediafire.com/?li1p9ln7fyiflcy

The music is from that old spin-off LBT 9 PlayStation game - "Big Water Adventure". I replaced the music that you guys used with those, and when I started the game with that music playing, I thought it fits really well.

So, what do you guys think? There's 4 more tracks from the game, if you guys are interested.

Computer and Electronics / Problem with my new PC

« on: July 31, 2010, 03:35:57 PM »

So basically, I bought myself a new motherboard + all the other necessary hardwares (graphics, RAM, etc etc), except hard disk, in which I'm using my old one. The hard disk has 32-bit versions of Windows XP SP2 and Windows 7 Ultimate installed (dual-boot; they're in separate partitions). After I swapped my old system with the new one, both OS-es refuse to boot up, showing me the dreaded BSOD. I had to reinstall one of the OS with a 64-bit version, in this case, Windows 7. But I REALLY wanna be able to boot to XP, because that's where all my installed programs/games are.

My question: how do I fix this? I heard people are able to run 32-bit OS-es on a 64-bit machine, but how come it isn't working for me?

Here are my specs, in case you wanna know:
- AMD Athlon II X2 240 @ 2.8 GHz
- PixelView GeForce 8400GS (512MB VRAM)
- 2GB DDR2 RAM
- Seagate 7200rpm 250GB HDD

Gamers Zone / A new epic arcade racer: BLUR

« on: May 29, 2010, 10:42:03 AM »

A really awesome-looking and fun racing game. Basically it's what happens when they combine arcade racing games with Mario Kart. The result: An epic Mario Kart-style racing game with licensed cars. A badass (in a good way) version of Mario Kart; it's THAT epic.

Check out what the reviewers had to say!

If that's not enough for you, here's another one. XD

I highly recommend this game to all of you arcade-racer fans. And for those who are fans of Mario Kart, you won't be disappointed with this one.

So whaddya guys think?

Ever wondered what the ghosts in Pac-Man are talking about while they're in the little blue box at the center? This video answers that question.

Real-Life Captions / Horse licks on a car

« on: May 16, 2010, 12:33:16 PM »

Below is a photograph that I took last year, while I was on my way home from school...

We were stuck in a traffic jam when that horse carriage suddenly came along and started licking the trunk of someone else's car.

Caption away!

Horse: "Mmm... metal... tastes so good..."

I'd make him my pet and keep him inside a bird cage.

And I'd feed him crackers all day.

The Fridge / Should Tobacco be legalized?

« on: April 23, 2010, 08:53:37 AM »

Okay so, we have this assignment for English class at my school, and my class was assigned to build a conversational dialog on whether or not Tobacco should be legalized (one person agrees, the other must disagree, both giving their reasons why). If you guys could help me out by giving some of your opinions on said topic, I'd really appreciate it, and it'll definitely make my assigment a whole lot easier.

So, do you guys think Tobacco should be legalized?

Sound Off! / The lyrics for JÛnsi's "Sticks & Stones"

« on: March 28, 2010, 03:41:04 AM »

For those who have watched How To Train Your Dragon (or maybe have been listening to JÛnsi's songs for some time), you'd know this song. It's the song that plays during the end credits. I'll admit, it's a pretty cool song, but I just can't help but be disturbed by the somewhat gibberish lyrics. So I was wondering if you guys can help me transcribe the lyrics for the song, because I'm having a hard time transcribing it myself.

Here's the song:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Db2bGVQYzH0

And here's the lyrics (or at least, what I think I've heard

Quote

Eyes open wide, plant deep by the sun now
Olives, and white, dark red, green, and yellow
Rainbow colors, tonight I see the view
Stood the side go through

I guess the light is stronger, what used them?
Everything bright keeps on burning sins
The look in your eyes break upon since you're out
Scream and shout and too loud

Like your sound
Oh...
Like your sound
Oh...

Stay close to...
Come one, two, and three
Up in through your dream
Bursting through the sea
Open your eyes and see...
And see...

<gibberish verse - NEED HELP>

Like your sound
Oh...
Like your sound
Oh...

Stay close to me
Come one, two, and three
Up in through your sleeve
Bursting through the seam
Open your eyes and see...

Stay close to...
Come one, two, and three
Up in through your dream
Right beyond the tree
I'll show you around the sea...

Stay close to...
Come one, two, and three
Up in through your dream
Passing through the sea
Open your eyes and see...
And see...

<percussion solo>

Stay close to me
Come one, two, three
Up in your sleeves
You're right beyond...

Stay close to me
Come one, two, three
Up in your dreams
Pursue the sea...

Open your eyes
And see...
You'll see...

You'll see...

The ones that I underlined are the ones that might need correction (especially the second verse, which is really hard for me to even transcribe it :blink:), though there might be more mistakes that I may have made... maybe... What do you guys think the lyrics should be? :huh:
