admiral_thrawn60: my formating isn't messed up. i cut and pasted from a web site and it had capitals. i added the 'tech:' and 'caller:' bits and i don't use capitals, and so it just looks odd.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Having fun with poor newbie who thinks hes being hacked...

Round I:

[19:29] <ErrorFroz> i think i am getting hacked. my modem lights are flashing...

[19:30] <SirGoblin> ErrorFroz: see all the cables behind your computer, rip them all out and you'll be fine

[19:31] <ErrorFroz> but wont that make my computer shut down?

[19:31] <Pissedoff> omg ... heh ...

[19:32] <ErrorFroz> but i had them back
there before i was on the internet

[19:32] <Baugnesh> one good way to check for hackers is to goto run on start menu, click it and type winipcfg, then click release all and you'll get a text log of folks on your pc

[19:32] <SirGoblin> they're not used for anything, just see yourself

[19:32] <SirGoblin> yeah, that works too

I don't know. I feel bad for these people. I could see my grandfather (who I gave my old computer) having that happen to him. sad

I don't think it's funny.

There's an instruction manual with these things, besides if you're stupid enough to let people trick you like that 4 times in a row (even when somebody said "shhhh" and "don't tell him" ) then it's your own fault;

I do feel a little bit bad for him but come on...

I don't know... You have no way of knowing. He could be an 80 year old guy who's only get on the internet to send e-mail to his sister in Florida.

I just think it's unnecessarily cruel -- especially because you don't know the story of the person on line. You don't know if the person is mentally handicapped, very old, very young, can't see well, etc.
