Katahu, Vlad (or Bela in the local lingo) was a Transylvanian (as it is now) prince. His castle is now a tourist attraction, and I'm a big fan of his work, particularly the gardening, e.g. lots of heads on poles along the garden path, this is v.me ;D
For more bumf on Vlad check out http://hamsterrepublic.com/html/vladhistory.html

Ozzy ;)

PS. His name is Romanian in origin, Dracul means dragon.

Thanks for correcting me on what country it was. I was thinking about Ivan The Terrible. This time, I know Ivan is Russian (at the time, it was called Prussia). He's not as evil as Vlad. But just like Vlad, he kills his own people (but in an old fashion way).

I saw a picture of Ivan in a history book back in school. He had a HUGE iron (or at least it looks like iron) cross on him like necklace.

My teacher told me that if you notice, those who wear big crosses on their neck are troublesome in a way. Those who where small ones, though, are not. ???

I was like, WHOAH!!!!!! I'm not sure if that's fully true. Is it?

OK, that was off topic. Back to the topic now.

Hey, does anyone here ever bothered to count how many viruses struck this year?

2. Wear gloves. Take some doo doo and put'em in a paper bag. Put em on their front doors and lite em up. Knock on the door and see them stomp the bag. LMFAO

3. Prank-knocking. Hehe.

4. Take a PaintBall gun and see their cars turn into a variaty of colors. LOL

5. Move into their neghborhood as their next-door neighbor and have my car's engine roaring like hell in the middle of the night. This will the spammer awake. HEEHeeheeee.

Just joking. Hehe. Or am I? ;)

Hey Katahu,

I always thought Prussia was part of the Ottoman Empire, east of where Germany is/was until 1914-18. I think what used to be Prussia is now part of eastern Germany and Poland (and maybe a Baltic state or two).

(Hitlers 'Wolfs Lair' where the memorable assassination attempt took place was in what used to be known as 'East Prussia')

Although the names are similar to within 1 letter, Prussia was never part of Russia, (or vice versa), at all.

I think i ahve receved a few hundred e-mails from taht thing... and my dad almost called up Dell Tech support for it. This is how they fix anyproblem, "Ok, you are going to have to format the hard drive."

Format a hard drive?

Is that even a good idea?

Formatting your hard drive isn't a bad idea, provided you've done everything else first.  It's a last resort ONLY.

To remove this virus, which is named SoBig.F, go to www.symantec.com and follow the directions in their security response section.  There's a nifty removal tool which will scan your system for the virus.
Great edit, Bob.


Google it.
