ok boss

mold city

Can we stop feeding the trolls now?

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.

"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….

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.robs numbers said… Hello Satv,I most glad you are up, need your wisdom advisement.Your friend very upset I posted public information on my simple blog.I motivated by think I do moral thing, warn people of bad thing real estate bust soon.Some say not nice things about me, but I think if on net, then information for everybody.This not old country-this freedom Canda,What you say? 7/6/07 10:39 PM robs numbers said… “Meanwhile, the data thief is run out of town”No… Read more »

"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.

"And a lot about computers as well"My computer is chaind to my forehead.

robs numbers

BTW, Satv, has sure learned to write English rather quickly.And a lot about computers as well

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.

robs numbers

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.

"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.

Richard

"…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?

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… Read more »

"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.

"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?

test

I found out on first day your worms and trojan attackexplain. 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.

satv

strange, very strange Satv has an American IP addressrobsnumber 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.

Funny quote, where's that from?Macro Man

rentah

I have to admit I simply skip over all satv posts.

freako

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.
