To me, it feels like this weird little tool for an egotrip or just mindless flattery. And don't even get me started on "liking" things; that’s actually even worse than those posts where someone quotes half a meter of your text just to write "I agree." Sometimes they don't even bother with words; they just drop a single encouraging smiley face. They might as well just write, "I don't actually have an opinion of my own, but yours seems like a decent enough option to go with," though I suppose even that requires far too many keystrokes for them.

But this whole "like/dislike" feature on a post... now that is just a whole new level of absurdity. It often feels like a symbiotic relationship between two empty suits: you've got the person who likes something because they lack any original thoughts, and then there's the person boosting their own ego by collecting likes from people exactly like that. You really have to be quite dim-witted to find satisfaction in a like like that.
And my absolute favorites are the ones who try to use it as a logical argument in a debate, saying stuff like, "Look how many likes I have on this post, how can you even argue with me when you have fewer than I do?"
It's just tragic. He's being cheered on by a hundred incompetent people, and he actually has the nerve to be proud of it....

Please, I beg of you, don't bring that nonsense onto the forum.

I’m right there with everyone else on this one, honestly.

This latest one is alright, I guess, but there are definitely better ska bands out there!

Hey!

Look, if everyone else is jumping on this bandwagon, then fine, count me in too... just do us all a favor and shrink that massive signature of yours...

I need to clear some serious space on my hard drive because Adobe is hitting a wall—it can't finish creating the disc image before I can even think about burning it to a DVD...

Yeah... it's fighting the system... it doesn't even give you a notification that it’s actually running... it just sits there working in the background...
It takes screenshots whenever someone clicks something... scrapes passwords... grabs whatever is sitting in your clipboard... the only way to fly under the radar is if you're just hitting the Tab key to jump from the username field to the password field, because it only triggers on a mouse click, so... yeah, nothing...
Mine just expired, but I'm pretty sure you can go into the settings and tweak the permissions for the Task Manager and the taskbar...

That all-in-one keylogger is actually pretty solid... It’s not free, which sucks, but it does a great job of hiding its process in the Task Manager. There’s no icon sitting in your system tray to give it away either. You trigger it by hitting Shift+Ctrl+Alt+P or just typing in a specific password. Honestly, the only real downside is the price tag. I ran into a bug with it recently, though, and I can't quite remember if it was a one-off thing or something more serious.

Did you actually toggle those hidden folders on?? Try this: grab one of those .sqm files, copy it, and then just rename the extension to .gif

So, you just jump into that folder... grab those *.dat files, copy them over, and then just rename the extension to .gif...
thanks... man, that’s exactly what I was looking for.

Joseph Carter9 said:And now that the hard drive is maxed out, I've got this blinking blue light, kind of like how those old disc drives used to act...

So, how did you actually wire that thing up?

Personally, I rigged up a single red LED right where the reset button used to be. I pulled the floppy drive cover off, fished some wires through a gap in the chassis, and managed to hook them up to a USB header...
I've got one blue LED sitting under the CD/DVD drive, and I'll probably stick another one right under the graphics card....

If you’d actually bothered to read what he said, you'd see his point—even if he bumps it up by just 5 MHz, those artifacts... those little dots... they're still there.
Anyway, I haven't found a fix for this mess yet.
