Important announcement - immediate action required by everyone
We were all having fun and games with the beaver/Canadian hacker picture until we started getting reports that not everyone could see it. We had to do some quick scrambling and determined that the problem wasn't on our end. As best we can tell from talking to Microsoft, if you have seen the message, your machine in infected with the Conficker virus. The good folks at Microsoft were nice enough to give us instruction for removal.
1) Immediately unplug your machine. Do not back up any data.
2) Remove the hard drive.
3) Using a ball-peen hammer, smash the hard drive as hard as you can between 3 and 5 times.
4) Locate 6-8 packets of Jello brand lime gelatin. Follow instructions to make 1/2 of the gelatin. Place hard drive on top of solid gelatin then follow instructions to make the rest of the gelatin, pouring it on top of the hard drive to completely encase it. Remember, only lime will work. Top to your taste.
5) Send Cynthetiq a PM asking for his physical address so that you can ship him the Jello. Use the minimal amount of packing material to ensure that the package arrives as sloppy as possible. You may consider including a bag of cat urine.
Any questions or concerns may be directed solely to cynthetiq. I want nothing to do with it, and completely disavow this thread from hereon out. I will be in my bunk.
