Theories and advice

[Renee Davis]

Zeppilin is not a multi and his former account and new one are both legit.
Dominian either wiped zep of houses or was due to do so and zep sent his mp at me as a final battle then he restarted immediately on log on 6 h ago so, np on that. The bug is in the failure of the br processing....

Trying to figure out who won what though (depends on his mp lost vs the 1900 or so we lost) and who took his fleet remnant out (my 2 fleets lost ships and so did david's but, my base lost none so, either my base never battled or only had an ms to hit after the other fleets hit it).

On the "google bug":

A corporate merger on the following is appearent:

Google
Real Player
Picasso
Adobe (all software including Reader)
Norton Utilities

...and all latest versions are now distributed by google (with the toolbar download automatically included).

Advice: If you want any of the above GO TO THIER SITE (AWAY FROM GOOGLE) AND DOWNLOAD VERSIONS PRIOR TO THE MERGER.

This is going to be a very notable problem soon and appears deliberate. A recent check on a google toolbar news group (!!!) show 100's of reports of: slowing of your pc (even when toolbar not loaded and offline), crashing the system, corruption of system files, the list goes on and on.
Also, on running uninstall I got the following "poll" to fill out and have auto-sent to google.com:

Why do you want to uninstall Google toolbar?
Check the following:

I already use another version from another company
My pc has slowed since installation
My pc crashes more often since installation

...and about 3 more "options" IMHO OPTIONS 2 & 3 PROVE MALOVENT AND INTENTIONAL METHODS OF DISTRIBUTION

I just made a phone call to a friend here, a local manufacturer of "retro-tech pc's" (top of the line disguised as old style radio and tv equiment . ) HE WILL VOID A WARRANTY SHOULD THE USER DOWNLOAD FROM GOOGLE.COM !!!!!!

Final advice: anyone desiring hands on experience in data recovery and restructure go to : http://google.com

They're evil... just watch this:

They wanna merge with everything and anything, and will become some sorta trash can of software over time... I guess you'll be needing a full harddisk for just one program by 2015, for one program. Not because it's huge, but cos you get all this sh*t with it.

Well, that's a nice little piece of software you have there! maybe you should distribute it as the next-gen OS

Download and install the yahoo toolbar to prevent the google toolbar from being inadvertantly installed should you get tricked into "asking" for it.
And be careful with that Real Player browser, it is full of those "traps".
I almost got hit again last night and rebooted during the install to stop it.
The damage starts right away, was not severe as I caught it in time and windows xp is really good at recovering hd sectors rendered unusable by this. Recovery only took 30m (instead of 6h).

Notes disky plays one of the best strat games ever ...t.sun (circa 1999, a player in that is a rarity for us nowdays). Kane rocks along with NOD
BTW-dinsky, David worked for Westwood Studios on some of that before he met me

Thanks Renee, it came with the special Combat Pack, and it turned out cool. I lost the CD, but i did get to see the end of the NOD campaign before that, as you may notice BTW, That's cool Dave! U see? We really have NO LIFES
