[Infected PCs may lose Internet in July]

Bummer...I have a PC running Windows Vista, and they have the checker pending for this OS until further notice at the given website.

[Google Chrome Overtakes Firefox]

I don't quite buy the statistics measure, and I won't be swayed by them easily. You know, some people like Japanese cars, some like European cars, and some like American cars. At the end of the day, it's a matter of preference.

[Chatcore]

I know this volunteer position will attract those power-tripping minded people to apply.

 

This reminds me of the old MSN days where lots of chatters apply to be a room host, wasting their lives to monitor chat rooms where they were never appreciated and liked. And the turnover rate was very high, because that chat manager Vickie was a classic example of power tripper. I'm glad those days were over and became part of my memory.

 

Again, I'm not against those who're interested in spending their time to help develop a chat network. This is just my rant is all.

[Microsoft Security Tool IDs Chrome Browser as Malware]

It does smell like a personal vendetta just by reading the article...

[Chrome poised to take No. 2 browser spot from Firefox]

Sounds tempting. Do you guys think I should ditch Firefox for Chrome?

[Firefox 7 Released With Better Memory Management]

Gilliam, you might want to check the update again, because it's supposed to show 7.0.1, not just 7.0.

[What Am I Doing Wrong]

You mistook \b for /b

That was where you got messed up in the first place lad.

[Alias Mkf]

Adding to err0r's suggestion, you can include the -l switch for your set command. The -l switch makes it local:

 

set -l %a value

set -l %b value

 

This makes them function exactly the same as the /var option.

 

The -l switch is undocumented.

What goes around comes around.

[Is Your Hotmail Password '123456'? Not For Long]

Making a password as easy as 123456 is a surest way to get hacked. I'm sure this is a common sense everybody should know already.

[Geek.com visitors attacked by DIY exploit kit]

If you happen to use AVG's link scanner, you should be protected, as it will block the malicious website upon landing and ask to proceed or close it. It's a must-have browser add-on every should install when browsing online. It works similarly as Mcafee's site advisor but AVG's is way better in my opinion.

[Spammers and scammers move within hours of Osama Bin Laden's death]

I just realize Osama and Obama rhymes pretty well. lol

[Spammers and scammers move within hours of Osama Bin Laden's death]

I read that this may be a governmental conspiracy of some sort. We have no certain knowledge to approve of Osama Bin Laden's death being a real deal until the Al Qaida admits it or Obama administration publishes the actual photos of the deceased Osama. I cam imagine the chances are bleak. Until then, God bless America.

[PlayStation Network Hack Leaves Credit Card Info at Risk]

Gee...fortunately I never purchased anything via PlayStation Network. lol

[Windows Vista: No IE10 for you]

This is Micro$oft's strategy to coerce people to shift to Windows 7? Most people I know are not big fans of IE anyway.

[Need Help With Regex.]

My bad. I didn't test the regex pattern earlier. I think the edit should work.

[Need Help With Regex.]

Oh cool thanks, that makes a lot of sense now. So I want to strip out the font code and make sure it doesn't match ^. or ^-. Could I do something like:

 

/^##\*.*\*##[^\.^-]/gS

 

You can use regex's negative look ahead:

/(?!\.|\^|-)##\*.*\*##/

If you mean that you want to ignore both the symbol "^." and "^-." This pattern should do the trick. The dot and the caret symbol are to be escaped because they have special meanings in regex.

[Need Help With Regex.]

/^[^\.^-]/gS

 

 

What does it do?

 

It will match one character to exclude the "-" symbol and disregard the rest from the start of a string. The /g modifier means to match more than one match respectively. The /S is to strip control codes, mainly work for mIRC and not a standard regex modifier.

[Microsoft readies 17 software patches for 64 holes]

Talk about endless holes and more to dig in the future.

[FYI, OMG enters Oxford English Dictionary. LOL.]

I'm not too certain what my English professor would say if I used LOL and OMG in my essay...

[Mozilla's Firefox 4 bags 1M downloads in 3 hours]

While I'd love to upgrade to Firefox 4, many add-ons I currently have installed will be disabled until they're made to be compatible with the latest Firfox version.

[Good Or Bad]

I put my PC on standby when I'm not using it. It's a touch away to get it back on and running.

[Rumor : Tg007 To Close]

Ahahahahahahaha /me laughs hysterically.

[PS3 Hacker Asserts Right To Alter Sony Hardware]

Sony should hire him. He can be a great asset to the company.

[Is Reading Wife's E-Mail A Crime?]

While I respect the fact that both husband and wife shouldn't take each others' privacy for granted, but getting legal proceedings and a divorce is ridiculously uncalled for.
