You’re relentless satv. It sounds like the internet is a very dangerous place for your computer and it would be safest to keep it disconnected at all times.
I suppose you could take some of your real estate earnings and invest them in a machine that can visit blogs without falling apart. They must be available because there are thousands of people who visit these sites and seem to manage just fine.
Better safe than sorry though- you should probably just keep it unplugged at all times.

there was a artical on cbc that state vulnerability in vista not long ago.
microsoft own programme has been hacked 3 times thats about music and files which can be legally use.
they have never found out who did it once they laid some charge on some one, and yesterday they have with draw those charge because they are not really sure. I am in same kind of position as hurry before.
attack on computer is not my issue,but rob is telling you guys satv has an american ip address.I think you should first understand that what kind of experts you guys are when you are loughing on CHAIN hell even kids know what is a chain.
July 17th, 2007 at 9:16 am
“good security means”surviving from further damage when some one hit breaking chain in security file system.computer shuts off to save file system….”
That’s very nice. But still, your computer was breached at least twice. Not “good” by most people’s standards.
“…security expert say”security can not be guaranteed”,…”
Never heard of Windows Vista, the most secure OS on the planet? Tsk tsk. Some guys in Redmond are going to be soooo cheesed….
July 16th, 2007 at 8:08 pm
well because of all said reasons by you people,I did not mention this computer breakin to you unless robsnumber admit by posting his comment yestrday.I did not say anyword before because I was thinking who is going to beleive me.
good security.
good security means”surviving from further damage when some one hit breaking chain in security file system.computer shuts off to save file system.

“Meanwhile, the data thief is run out of townâ€
No kidding Freako, is real life stranger than fiction or what?
Can somebody please tell me what I have stolen?
satv said…
“robsnumbers u must see the door out side”
that freedom of expresion you have mention is good to discuss some issue’s mostlikely if you do that as user you can make that mistake because you are not responsible for legal action.but by establishing the main frame is preety much stealing the data from some ones hard work.
please see the door out side,take a shower,change your shirt,and clean your nose then come back clean.
you are smart and well educated, please try to make a diffrence by using your energy on positive way of life.
freako is not a strange person,he has rung the well on right time.so please if you have some thing diffrent point of view you can express them on same plate form,or either you can make your own main frame and approach to the pope to establish your link on vancover condo.info.

robnumbers-and estevens.
robsnumber was trying to explain us that both of them are IDENTICAL-same person.
little bit of evidence.

Satv: You are a fool, and and a liar.
I said I would shut the blog down if somebody else would provide the numbers, and that is what I did.

strange, very strange Satv has an American IP address.
7/15/07 11:12 AM
I was waiting till here so I don’t take a blame.
security expert say”security can not be guaranteed”, people have to run patches every day or so,you guys are familiar with window up date every few days.
when this come to securing the web there are two type of people one who make this secure another to break it(hackers)so nothing is guaranteed.will request the pop please do not delete this unless or otherwise.
at the end I have just said developing story when rob is talking about IP-ADDRESS,but there is no where I request anyone visit or not to visit their sites.
through your comments there was no user to translate robs comment which say strange strange satv got american ip address(hey rob where you coming from).
thanks for your comments
July 16th, 2007 at 8:07 pm
“My computer is chaind to my forehead.”
Yeah, sorry robsnumbers. satv ain’t rob. Some of the stuff like:
“before that attack can shut of my system breaking the chains”
is so good, that I don’t think Rob is capable of writing it. In fact, I don’t think anybody is. The varyingly poor English, puzzles, me, but I think satv is none other than satv. If he/she isn’t, well they are good enough at impostering that they deserve to get away with it.
July 16th, 2007 at 6:59 pm
“And a lot about computers as well”
My computer is chaind to my forehead.
July 16th, 2007 at 12:27 pm
BTW, Satv, has sure learned to write English rather quickly.
And a lot about computers as well
July 16th, 2007 at 12:24 pm
Sorry Freako, that comment was tongue-in-cheek but I guess it didn’t come across that way. Of course Blogger is secure (or as secure as anything can be) and it wasn’t a shot at REsteven either as I appreciate his efforts.
To me, “test” above was subtly suggesting that satv might be Hyde to Rob’s Jekyll. I just pointed out that by coincidence they’re both having computer problems.
July 16th, 2007 at 12:23 pm

“Weird. Isn’t Chipman having trouble with his computer too? “
With a handle like that, you should know that there is no malicious code blogspot. And if somebody decided to go after your IP,they would get jack all if you use a router and/or firewall. Unless you are leaving ports open for whatever reason, that is.
I don’t think resteven has anything to do with robsnumbers. If he did, where is the anti-chipman comments? Heck, he even has TBREA on the blogroll.
July 16th, 2007 at 11:59 am
“…his site hit my security and shut the computer…”
Just because your computer died when you were viewing his site doesn’t mean he’s responsible.
Actually, is that blog still up?
“… we should know this esteven’s site is also run by robsnumber …”
Again that’s just jumping to (unfounded) conclusions.
Went to that blog and it didn’t crash my computer…
“… I have good security …”
from your own posting your computer’s crashed multiple times so how can you say you have good security?
“I have to contect my server …”
Err, how does one contect a server?
July 16th, 2007 at 10:21 am
Weird. Isn’t Chipman having trouble with his computer too?
July 16th, 2007 at 10:14 am
I am running out of time quickly this is what happend his site hit my security and shut the computer when I restart I found out he broke the chain in security files.I disconect the internet and spend 5 hours to fix the security I wanted to make sure that he is attacking I used some othersites first those were fine and then I revisted robs number my system shuts off again and break the chains in security files then I have fix my system again another 6 hour.I was visiting every othersites then I have read freako request to visit and post estevens site to appreciate his post and same time I have read robsnumber display message that we should know this esteven’s site is also run by robsnumber and he posted original website I thought he had clean his nose and changed his shirt for sure but when I post my comment on his new site 15 minute after my system shuts of because I have good security still I never had experiance ever before that attack can shut of my system breaking the chains.can’t say more than this because who got time to deal with unless we lost some thing big I have to contect my server and he help me a lot I did not spare time to scan the logs the way he did it,I am fine since then because I did not visit and my system is doing fine sorry no comma’s not full stop in hurry.
July 16th, 2007 at 8:44 am
“explain. just what exactly are you saying?”
He is just suggesting that robsnumbers found his ip and scanned him for vulnerabilites. I find it highly highly unlikely that google would be dumb enough to allow malware on blogger.
July 16th, 2007 at 8:42 am
“I found out on first day your worms and trojan attack how ever I had fail to tell all user of vancondo.”
NAT/firewall, friend. Your IP gets hit a thousand times a day regardless of what sites you visit.
“even estevens site is not secure and you have had mention that here in hurry,”
Wordpress logs the IP of all posters, but not visitors. AFAIK know the blogger doesn’t, but somebody with free time on their hands could use the free visitor log to deduce posters IP’s.
” I think thats going to die too,however “
I hope not, it is a great source of statistics. Why would you express such a thought? Do you want it to go away?
July 16th, 2007 at 8:36 am
I found out on first day your worms and trojan attack
explain. just what exactly are you saying? my understanding is that his site was a —–.blogspot.com site. are you saying that all —-.blogspot.com sites harbour worms and trojans? how is this technically possible? i suspect a number of bloggers on the site are computer professionals and would like to know the details of an insidious mechanism that makes —-.blogspot.com sites vulnerable.
July 15th, 2007 at 9:07 pm
strange, very strange Satv has an American IP address
robsnumber
thats why your site died before hand.when you can steal numbers from othersite’s then it is very easy to scan ip address from visitors.I found out on first day your worms and trojan attack how ever I had fail to tell all user of vancondo.
thats why I have advice you to approch the pope to establish your links then pope should have been deal with your trojan and worms.even estevens site is not secure and you have had mention that here in hurry, I think thats going to die too,however I am from vancouver.

satv, I honestly liked the babelfish poetry. Can’t say much for the latest shenanigans, however.

comment: there be many styles to respond at comments put forth by other bloggers.
comment: seem uncommon to have style where one posting contains neatly-separated responses to comments by multiple bloggers.
example: satv just use that style.
q: how many other person use that style in local blogs?
comment: after all is open thread so can ask odd question.

monday night I feel so low
count the hours they go so slow
I know the sound of your voice
can save my soul
city lights,streets of gold
look out my window to the world below
moves so fast and it feels so gold and I am alone
don’t let me die
I’m losing my mind
baby just give a sign
and now that(roof from head)you are gone
I just wanna be with you
and I can’t go on
I wanna be with you
wanna be with you

July 14th, 2007 at 8:14 pm
satv – I drive a 936 square foot Morris Minor with an attached garage, and a sunroof. It’s a custom job obviously.
The good thing about it is that it gets 46 mpg on the city streets, and I’ve had 53 mpg out of it on the highway.
It is powered by a 1963 Trabant 3 cylinder diesel – 847 cc – that is converted to run on dandelion roots and mealy bugs.
You to boot, can have your car, and heat it too.

Anyone see the commentary in todays globe about the ‘liquidity tap twisting shut‘?
As one blogger quipped, the subprime analysts’ toolkit consists of a pillow, alarm clock and a rear-view mirror.
Funny quote, where’s that from?
July 14th, 2007 at 7:55 pm
I suspect its a combination of diabolical corruption AND incompetence, but I’m willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.
Maybe they’re just totally incompetent.
July 14th, 2007 at 7:17 pm
The Edmonton Real Estate Board radio spot has incorrect stats for the month of June.
Previously they had the following statement removed from their June press release without any statement of correction. The media carried the story regarding strong sales in their reporting so mentioning a correction is appropriate.
Single month sales in June were up 20% from last month and 15% from June 2006.
Their radio ad with false sales information still remains.
“…So did that slow down the market? …Not at all. While average price dropped slightly, sales were still up 20% from May to June…”
link
In fact residential sales were DOWN 22% May to June. The drop was from 2839 to 2203. Is the EREB diabolical and corrupt or just plain incompetent?

2c worth:
The markets out there are currently at very unusual extremes.
China appears to have topped but nobody is really talking about it. The emerging markets look vulnerable.
Similarly, some industrial metals seem to have topped.
Most remarkable, Dow&Nasdaq are extending to new nominal highs without convincing fundamentals.
There is still a high chance of an upcoming US recession, but the markets don’t seem to have discounted that yet.
There seems to be a prevailing myth that housing won’t impact the US ecomony, and that there’ll be a bounce there soon.
People believe that subprime is contained and are ignoring the breadth of the problem.
Perhaps when it becomes obvious that there won’t be a RE bounce, all the other shoes will fall.
If one examines smart money positions, one would bet on:
- a big drawdown in the general stockmarkets anytime now
- a drop in the oil price (likely to $50 again).
- a bounce in the USDollar (with a likely pullback in the loonie, but moreso in the euro).
July 14th, 2007 at 11:48 am
I do have something new for you Satv.
My friends Amiel and Conrad just called to warn you East End And Lynn Valley specuvestors, not to take tax planning advice from Realtors and Bloggers.
Conrad said, that many of you guys will end up like him on a smaller scale of course.
He went on to say that while this asset bubble suits the general plan, for the big boys, everything will be just fine.
However when the bubble pops, and scapegoats are in demand, some would be politicians, and junior journalists, looking to cut their teeth, will be directing the tax man where to look.

Now here is the answer to the question “Who are the idiots buying in Whalley?

“I wonder how many were bought for the purpose of flipping or as an investment property?”
I guess 78.36%.
July 13th, 2007 at 1:11 pm
“Podmore’s statistics show townhome (6,698), low-rise (5,684), mid-rise (440) and high-rise condos (4,231) now account for the vast majority of the 20,654 new homes being built in Surrey, Delta, Ladner and Tsawwassen.”
That is crazy how many new homes are under construction. I wonder how many were bought for the purpose of flipping or as an investment property?

If you’re suggesting that Calgarians are idiots
not really
July 13th, 2007 at 10:55 am
Wow, a bunch of news for the bulls. Guess it is different this time, let me fly to Newfoundland and snap a few condos right away! We’re running out of land in Canada!
We’ll see how the US foreclosure situation unfolds. The source of cash is in serious turmoil, with hundreds of lenders going under, and Bear Stern now holding a bunch of mortgages and owning many foreclosed properties. We shall see who’s holding the bag at the end. My guess is pension funds that turned to high yield bond market as the perfect harbour from stormy stockmarket.
July 13th, 2007 at 10:43 am
depresso,
If you’re suggesting that Calgarians are idiots, you might find some consolation here:
At the university of Calgary, students in a psychology program were attending their first class on emotional extremes.
“Just establish some parameters” said the professor to a student from Ontario, what is the opposite of joy?”
“Sadness” said the student.
“And the opposite of depression?” he asked of a young lady from BC.
“Elarion” she said.
“And you sir,” he said to the young man from Calgary, “what is the opposite to woe?”
The Calgarian replied, “Sir, I believe that would be “giddy-up”.

Another quote from that article about Abbotsford’s first high-rise condo:
The company sold just under one-third of its 173 units for an average price of $462 per sq. ft. – even though most Abbotsford low-rises sell for under $300 per sq. ft.
Doesn’t that just about say it all? Hats off to the marketers, there’s a joke in there about selling refrigerators to Eskimos…
