Title: Geeky Riddle Post by: opperdude on November 17, 2003, 07:32:01 PM Quote Just the dead people, because you just died via hex? so this is complete BS? Title: Geeky Riddle Post by: SS on November 17, 2003, 08:45:07 PM 57,006.
Title: Geeky Riddle Post by: Perdition on November 17, 2003, 08:48:45 PM LOL whats your reasoning behind that number?
Title: Geeky Riddle Post by: SS on November 17, 2003, 08:56:59 PM My reasoning is because it's the correct number. :P
Title: Geeky Riddle Post by: Perdition on November 17, 2003, 09:02:01 PM how do you know that?
Title: Geeky Riddle Post by: SS on November 17, 2003, 09:06:37 PM Because I can read hex.
Title: Geeky Riddle Post by: Rug on November 17, 2003, 09:19:14 PM Oh... heheheheh...
Title: Geeky Riddle Post by: Perdition on November 17, 2003, 09:19:59 PM *grumbles some more*
Title: Geeky Riddle Post by: smi256 on November 17, 2003, 09:46:49 PM Quote so this is complete BS? not really, I was thinking hex, a magic curse... ;) Title: Geeky Riddle Post by: RipperRoo on November 17, 2003, 10:04:50 PM Me too actually.
Title: Geeky Riddle Post by: FragMaster1972 on November 18, 2003, 05:08:58 AM Quote My reasoning is because it's the correct number. :P he's correct. "dead" is in hex, its decimal equivalent is 57005. dead + you= 57006. :) Title: Geeky Riddle Post by: Perdition on November 18, 2003, 05:40:46 AM aww fuk I hate when SS is right.
Title: Geeky Riddle Post by: Filran on November 18, 2003, 12:12:00 PM You shouldn't let SS play. He's been to land of the smarties. >.> I'm only in highschool damnit.
Title: Geeky Riddle Post by: FragMaster1972 on November 18, 2003, 06:17:03 PM I learned hex in HS. Junior year. its easy. and if you know it well enough, you can take entire math tests in hex and confuse the hell outta your teacher. and if you get anything wrong, just say the teacher doesnt know how to read hex, and that its their mistake, not yours. :)
Title: Geeky Riddle Post by: SS on November 18, 2003, 06:29:57 PM Yeah, I learnt it when i started doing websites, which was before I'd left school. :P
Title: Geeky Riddle Post by: Perdition on November 18, 2003, 06:34:32 PM *kicks SS* you have to start forgetting these things
Title: Geeky Riddle Post by: FragMaster1972 on November 18, 2003, 06:35:19 PM i learned it my a c/c++ class, as well as binary and octadecimal(is that the right word? not sure, know its oct-something....)
Title: Geeky Riddle Post by: SS on November 18, 2003, 06:45:17 PM Quote you have to start forgetting these things Don't be stupid, I only forget important things!Frag, probably just octal - base 8. Title: Geeky Riddle Post by: FragMaster1972 on November 18, 2003, 06:50:27 PM Quote Frag, probably just octal - base 8. Thats it! Thats the word I was lookin for, just couldn't remember it for some reason. cool, one less thins plauging my mind. :) Title: Geeky Riddle Post by: Thamior on November 21, 2003, 08:52:36 PM I have no idea what you guys are talking about but since SS is the most computer knowledgable person I know now, he has to help me get that spyware off my comp. LOL
Title: Geeky Riddle Post by: mole on November 21, 2003, 08:57:45 PM uhhh use adaware or check ur add/remove progs menu?
Title: Geeky Riddle Post by: Thamior on November 21, 2003, 09:04:31 PM Ad-aware gets rid of stuff for about 3 hours and then it all seems to pop back up onto my computer the next day.
Title: Geeky Riddle Post by: RipperRoo on November 21, 2003, 09:14:03 PM Thats what I was noticing, it doesnt actually prevent spyware, just gets rid of it and lets it respawn.
Title: Geeky Riddle Post by: Thamior on November 21, 2003, 09:16:20 PM And there are some files on my harddrive that I just CAN'T DELETE. I'll bring them over to the Recycling Bin and then when I go to empty it the stupid thing says I'm not able to delete it.
Title: Geeky Riddle Post by: mole on November 21, 2003, 09:18:13 PM hmmm i hate them ussually they are viruses though lots of those kind on kazaa
Title: Geeky Riddle Post by: smi256 on November 21, 2003, 11:55:42 PM A virus actually has a payload. What you have is a worm or a trojan just because it sounds like someone is just fishing with your head :P
and yes, you really should have alot of protection if you're using kazaa Title: Geeky Riddle Post by: matt_the_shark on November 22, 2003, 05:26:21 AM indeed, if only it was like napster and they made a deal with the movie people :(
Title: Geeky Riddle Post by: FragMaster1972 on November 22, 2003, 08:21:20 AM Quote And there are some files on my harddrive that I just CAN'T DELETE. I'll bring them over to the Recycling Bin and then when I go to empty it the stupid thing says I'm not able to delete it. alright, heres what you do. go to start->run, type cmd and hit enter. type cd c:[directory of file]. hit ctrl-alt-delete and end explorer. if it works right, youll know cause your start menu, task bar, etc will disappear. go back to the dos window and type del [filename WITH extension] and hit enter. now go back to the task manager, hit new task, type explorer, and hit enter. rinse. repeat. Title: Geeky Riddle Post by: SS on November 22, 2003, 02:48:17 PM oooh, dangerous. I wouldn't recommend that unless they know the files are not needed, just incase they happen to accidentily destroy a system file. Better to first rename it and make sure nothing goes wrong - that way you can always return the file if need be.
Quote rename [originalfilename] [newfilename] So for example, you might use "rename file.dll file.dll.old". Seems safer that way? Title: Geeky Riddle Post by: Thamior on November 23, 2003, 11:07:37 PM Quote A virus actually has a payload. What you have is a worm or a trojan just because it sounds like someone is just fishing with your head :P Good call. I had the Trojan Virus all weekend until my brother's college roommate helped me fix up my unusable computer (a little fact that's making its way into most of my posts today). It seems okay for now I guess. I don't trust myself deleting files because I have no idea what any of them are really, so I won't do that like I initially wanted to, :P and yes, you really should have alot of protection if you're using kazaa Title: Geeky Riddle Post by: ns33 on November 23, 2003, 11:41:26 PM its like entering a whole new world. from the land of hex to the land of spyware...
/me marvles at short attention spans :rolleyes: Title: Geeky Riddle Post by: Thamior on November 24, 2003, 12:09:40 AM Yeah I think that I can take the blame for that one...but now that the riddle has been answered and only two or three people even know what hex is, spyware seems to be the more popular topic...especially since my computer is infected/infested with it.
