Hah, yeah.

There was one for windows 9x that said something like, "This machine has been forgetED by"
And i dont know the rest

[Axolotl2]

My favorite DOS virus is either Pizelun, Abraxas, or Redcode. I can't decide.

Magistr has a hilarious message box payload, though.

The Self Delete Trojan is very ironic. Usually, the point of malware is to harass the user and make them have to do the effort to get it removed.

Hey, is it possible to sell like my motherboard and cpu if I ever wanted to upgrade from AMD to intel?

yes, if possible put them in the box they came in and, i'd sell it for around 15$ cheaper than normal if it's used, depending on price or how old it is

I am confus.

My motherboard manual lists the different front panel USB 2.0 connectors as being inherently different in some way.
But my case guide doesn't specify on which connector to use.

Case: HAF 912
Mobo: ASUS P8Z77-V LE

USB 2.0 Connectors L to R:
USB 910
Pins, in order:
USB+5V
USB+5V
USB_P10-
USB_P9-
USB_P10+
USB_P9+
GND
GND
NC

USB78
Pins, in order:

USB_P8-
USB_P7-

USB_P7+

USB56
Pins, in order:

USB34

What my case guide says:

The case guide warns of damage/loss of function if the connectors don't match up. :I

I was hoping someone who uses a dual-core i3 with sandy bridge could help me figure out something. Is the Intel HD 3000 graphics strong enough to play HD video on a 1080p TV moniter?

I'm trying to build a barebone system for streaming TV and I want to know if I should bother with a small dedicated card.

Streaming? I think that'll take a better CPU unless I'm misinterpreting what you're saying.

Like watching videos through netflix online. No, it doesn't need a better processor for it. I'm just wondering if I'll need better graphics performance so that the video doesn't tear too much or anything.

intel graphics hd is good for anything besides gaming.

Wrong type of streaming, my bad. I have no experience with Intel integrated chips so I can't offer any help.

[Elecro]

also, streaming is mostly dependant on your internet connection, so make sure you have a good signal.
