The ones that really make me laugh go like this:

"Hello, my name is [insert pathetic name here] and i have no legs and a brain tumour and my daddy beats me and my dog only has one eye and i need an opperation but i can't afford it and i'll die. For everytime you forward this email the [pathetic charity] will donate 5 cents


Ha. Nice try.

You mean that "you are an idiot" site?  Dude, it also crashes their browser.  If they happen to be working on something memory intensive....it takes down the entire OS.  I know because I lost a month's worth of MAX stuff because of that damn site. (I mod a forum where that was posted.  I checked out the link to investigate complaints concerning that link...and bam!)

Venom: That wouldn't, ah, be the HOTU version of Another World, would it?

Vertigo: Don't think so. Unless you're talking about something other than the stupid banana-dance ****.

Blah. I've still got a hard drive with Win32.Magistr on it, can't clean it off 'cos it'll kill whatever computer you plug it into to reformat it. Though I might be willing to share on a secure box.

Erm, you *could* make a bootdisk with fdisk & format on, boot from it & just format the drive on it, you know? BTW, plugging in an Win32.Magistr infected HD won't infect the PC *unless* an executable containing the virus (or the virus itself) is executed.

Most Win32 virusses are easilly removed if you ask me, i never had to format a HD to kill a bug

[Stryke 9]

That wasn't just me guessing that that would be what would happen, dude. I speak from experience. The disk will share its little infection. I don't care how, I don't care why, and I don't have the time to find out before the computer locks up. I just don't use it.

Sell it on eBay...

Make sure you tell them it's a hard drive that kills computers. Then they can't sue you.

Beh, I've got a sorta junk dealership thing going on on the side, someone tries to rip me off or somethin', I'll just, ah, find a special deal on a nice, fast, untested 15-head Maxtor 20G.

make sure the guy is weaker than you, and has no friends, then

[Stryke 9]

First isn't even an issue, second- hell, he's buying garbage. Computer garbage. How many friends can he ****ing have?

why, you're He-man?

[Stryke 9]

No, I'm well-armed, reasonably tough and fast when I need to be (though my punches ain't so great, and I got that bad leg to consider when stomping on a guy), and I don't meddle around with the whole not-leaving-scars thing. Hurt someone enough from the offset and they'll stop in a hurry.

[Amon_Re]

I wouldn't mind getting that drive tho Could use some extra space

Cheers,

$40.

[Amon_Re]

LOL Is that with or without the bug on it?

I do think however that the shipping alone to Belgium might add up to the price till it reaches the price of a new 40GB one

Cheers,

[Stryke 9]

You pay shipping. $40 is the "I don't particularly dislike you, and don't care to dupe you into destroying your computer" price. Goes down to $10 otherwise. And, as I mentioned before, I'm not touching that ****er after what it did to my old box.

[Amon_Re]

And i still think it's just a matter booting from a bootdisk & formatting it

Where are you located & what brand is the drive?

Cheers,

[Stryke 9]

Maxtor, not sure the size anymore, but it's old enough that it's not in the double-digit gigabyte range most likely. East coast of the US. Not in that order.
