Hello, I haven't been are AO for a long while (dang College), but I just had a thought. I was wondering if any other Antionline members wanted to create a distributed.net team.

It looks like AO ate the title for this thread, it happened to me once after I previewed my thread, weird huh? You might want to do something about that.

Well Crypto, it sounds like you probably have yours configured to output "motion images" rather than "normal images." Motion images have a green background and a lighter green area where the motion...

I would like to thank you Gore, because of you my "*nix Quest" is finally over. I bit the bullet and purchased Suse 8.2 Personal at Best Buy, and man was I impressed. I started out with Mandrake...

Sorry, I can't answer all of the questions in your post, but I think that I can help you with the swap partition question. Swap is used by your computer when it needs more RAM (Random Access Memory)...

I basically live in a city that is completely surrounded by endless cornfields (Cedar Rapids, Iowa, USA). Watch the movie field of dreams and that is a pretty good representation of my surroundings.

Many newer viruses will try to disable all antivirus software installed on the host computer. If your signatures weren't updated it may be possible that this very thing occured.

Personally, I feel that p2p networks would be a strong host for the next superworm. Sure, there are those on p2p networks that use a firewall and AV, but in reality I would say that 90% of everyone...
