    good one handplane. it is a very handy tool.

    i havent long had my cdwriter.

    and this is the first time ive written a big program like this.

    and ive patted my self on the back several times.

    i would have posted the link.

    so any one wanting view the program could make

    up their minds.

    and copy it if they needed to

    there are some familiar names in there

    so good luck all

    the reason i posted about the program

    was many here were members of techtv c.f.h

    and from these programs most of us learned to use a compt

    Virus exploits London Tube bombs

    Virus writers are using the London bombings to spread malicious programs.

    A Windows virus has been created that claims to link to amateur video footage of the aftermath of one of the bombs on the London Underground.

    Anyone following the link in the e-mail will have their computer infected by a program that puts it under the remote control of the virus creator.

    The virus tries to look more legitimate by posing as a newsletter from US news organisation CNN.

    Video grab

    The virus is travelling in an e-mail which bears the subject line: "TERROR HITS LONDON" and comes from a spoofed e-mail address.

    The body of the message tells those receiving it to click on the attached file which claims to show amateur video footage shot in the London Underground immediately after one of the bombs went off.

    A file called "London terror moovie.avi" is attached to the malicious e-mail. Hidden after a long series of blank spaces is the real title of the file that is attached.

    An attempt has been made to make this look harmless by giving it the name: "Checked by Norton Antivirus.exe".

    Anyone clicking on the file will not be shown a video. Instead their PC will be infected by the as yet un-named Trojan.

    Next time the compromised machine is started, it will report in to the virus creator and become part of a spam-sending zombie network.

    Because it relies on people clicking on the attachment, the malicious program can affect Windows 2000, 95, 98, Me, NT, XP and Windows Server 2003.

    Although the program is not widely distributed, security companies asked people to be vigilant and update their anti-virus software regularly.

    This is not a hoax, I checked it myself and you can too by going to google and typing in london bombing virus......this particular piece was taken from BBC News: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4671111.stm

    Pass this along please!

  3. Marty, you don't need an excuse for double posting!!  I've done it and I have absolutely no idea how.....poof!  There's two posts sitting there!  I've lost posts into thin air by hitting the reply button, where they go, who knows??  And folks shouldn't slam anyone--I bet I can guess what board you got into your "slanging match" in--they are brutal over there--I'd be scared to death to even post there.  I'm glad you came out right in the end  :thumbsup:

    Sure hope your tummy feels better!

    i have friends who have had it

    at first a thought i had the complaint you get when your balance plays up

    but now im convinced it was a tummy bug

    i had a bucket beside my bed

    but didnt need to use it

    hope you dont catch it off me

  4. Pretty well had to re-read them all except for a couple....good one Marty... ;)

    <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

    well that gives me an insight, to this not sure what you call it

    it isnt a desease.

    in my sons case his mother and i didnt treat as a problem.

    it was his school teacher who alerted us

    but we treated him as normal.

    when it comes to music

    he has no problem

    and i agree with blim

    let them be normal.

    i read where it can affect people from all walks of life

  6. A baby was born so advanced in development that he could talk. He looked around the delivery room and saw the doctor. "Are you my doctor?" he asked. "Why, yes, I am," said the doctor. The baby said, "Thank you for taking such good care of me during the birth." He looked at his mother and asked, "Are you my mother?" "Yes, dear, I am," said the mother beaming. "Thank you for taking such good care of me before I was born," he said. He then looked at his father and asked, "Are you my father?" "Yes, I am," his father proudly answered. The baby motioned him closer, and then poked him repeatedly on the forehead with his index finger. "Hurts, doesn't

    hi liz

    i have a son who is dyslexic.

    with text .

    but he is a proffesional muscian

    and has no problem with musical scores and

    cord charts

    so what does dyslexic mean in terms of

    trying to remember things.

    and he can play instruments off the cuff

    i cant explain the complaint

    in words

    it doesent hold him back

    i showed him that

    quote tho. and he was lost

    so i cant explain.

    Golf Tee

    On a golf tour in Ireland, Tiger Woods drives his BMW into a gas

    station in a remote part of the Irish countryside. The gas station

    attendant obviously knows nothing about golf, greeting the golf

    star in a typical Irish manner, completely unaware of his identity.

    "Top of the mornin' to you, sir," says the attendant. Tiger nods a

    quick "hello," and bends forward to pick up the nozzle. As he

    does so, two tees fall out of his shirt pocket onto the ground.

    "What are those?" asks the attendant. "They're called tees,"

    replies Tiger. "Well, what on the good earth are they for?"

    inquires the Irishman. "They're for resting my balls on when

    I'm driving," says Tiger. "Jaysus, sweet Mary and Joseph,"

    says the Irishman, "BMW tinks of everything

    thanks handplane

    click on the the website

    quoted on the error page and have a look in there.

    one of the problems with george carlin

    he swore very loudly and got the backs up of the puritans

    and the religious bodys .

    but he told the truth and

    some how human beings dont like the truth

    which means we are liars at heart

    but we want to make people think

    we tell the truth

    carlin was different ,he told it weather you liked it or not

    the thing i differed from hims

    he was a profuse swearer and he swore at every thing and everyone

    and i objected to him swearing in front of children

    tho in his definations

    they are only words.
