Not even some guy from India working for McAffee was able to fix it. So i tossed that comp and now i have a shiny new macbook pro. Life is sometimes good like that, especially when it give you lemons that magically turn into apple products.
The point of this story, you ask? Some hackers can financially damage you (1.3k for new macbook pro, but well worth it!), so its fine to hate them, when they do it online, for the sake of hurting others. Why people can do this to another human being when it profit them not, i cannot explain. For the sake of lawlz? Maybe. But its fine if its done offline, and for the fun of everyone.

Just go into safe mod- O WAIT YOU HAVE A MAC!!!

You know what is funny, you tossed a perfectly good computer and you didn't even try wiping the hard drive, you are wasteful. You should have had your stuff backed up anyway on an external source, then you could reload that onto your computer with a completely clear hard drive.

People in India customer service only have a basic manual, the best you can do is clear your hard drive if you have no knowledge of computers.

Unless it's comical and/or benefits me in anyway, yes, I hate'em.

Going back a bit(again, sorry, i suck terribly at the quotes thing) someone said i tossed the old computer. Let me elaborate. I didn't actually "toss" the thing, its just stored. It has a lot of family info and stuff on it, and those aren't corrupted, so what i do is take the files out, go onto my awesome MAC! which is invincible to windows-based viruses, and i check them twice, then i move them to the new desktop we got.(the mac is a laptop, and we replaced the old desktop with a new PC, so i do have windows) So it wasn't a waste, i got all the things i wanted out of it, and if i ever needed it, its nicely stored into a closet, top shelf. You wanna break into my house, feel free. Bottom floor, spare bedroom, closet, top shelf. there you go. Seriously though, its still there, and i don't want to come across as wasteful.

You still don't have enough common sense to take ALL that info, put it on a Flash Drive (Most of your files don't even take up two thirds of 2 gb) then clear the corrupted computers hard drive, AND BOOM you have another perfectly good computer.

Oh and the macs are crap, worst gaming computers out there, they don't even have the main good games for them.

Ahh, but there is a magic piece of genius called bootcamp. Allows you to have windows and mac os FLAWLESSLY! So i get the best of bother OS's. It was really time for a new comp anyways. That thing ran BF1942 on medium settings, it was pentium 4 with friggin integrated graffix, and this new one has a 512 card and dual core 2.22 ghz. Its FAR better. I can finally play medieval 2 with full settings and no lag! Best game ever. My macbook has about the same specs as well, and i happen to be typing this on my mac. You can't go wrong with macs, they have better parts and now you can have windows and mac on it. Nothing wrong with that, to me...

Windows is more of a computer, at least you don't have to waste space with two OS to play games. Oh and fun tidbit, when Windows 95 first came out it almost made Apple bankrupt, go ahead look it up.

I like how the new mac commercials still make fun of windows 95, in light of that new info. That made me smile, lol. But you can choose how much space you want to partition, and if you have one side dedicated to games, because i think Mac OSX is superior for everything but, the space loss isn't bad, even on a laptop. I still have all the space i need. Plus, you can get cool software like VMware fusion, where you can run the mac os and the windows os side by side. Its pretty sweet. But we're getting off topic.
Back to hackers. I have personally hacked a few things, but only to help me on offline. For instance, Battlefield 2(not the one that screwed me over) has only 16 bots in the normal mode. But if you do some light hacking, you can mod it so that it has 64 bots and a full size map, even on single player. This is nice when im not in an area where i have access to MP. So not all hacking is bad. But i think we've already proven that.

Well what about funny hacks? Like one I saw where anyone can fly, like in brawl, Bowser using Pits flying position is funny as hell.

lol that sounds awesome. I wanna see bowser with his arms spread out in the flying position. That'd be so epic. Make a great signature.
