h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

That was a bit vicious wasn't it?

I was told that light news was out because the posting I was replying to had been removed and my red balloons one had been removed because it was off subject. Did I get thrown out with the bath water?

Another one up...let's see how long it stays

Doctor DD.

Magnifico!

I give it less than 5 minutes.

arse!

its only natural the MODS should pop our balloon threads

they're all a bunch of pricks

LOL! Dull Dave? Does he live with his mum and work in a car park?

Good old Alistair W has taken it the right way. Why isn't he on here with us, he's a right laugh.

It's gone!

Both him and Eddie Crane need to get over here I reckon!

And its gone. About 10 minutes, I think. They're watching those boards like hawks today.

Gone already: and just after Ali W had joined in with a parody of the "PC gone mad brigade". Didn't even have time to add my thoughts about building regs re conservatories. The mods are on fire today: perhaps we should go to "The Station"?

Let's see how this lasts then in "Trout Lips" ...

Hands up chaps if you've had a so-called "sack and crack" wax! If so, are you still crying?

McSqueal and johnston will both have their a***s twiching!

Ali W is here (as 'Alistair Dubya'), so I've left him an invite to join us in his space.

Serious message.

All of you who are listed in my address book should have just got an email from me passing on a message I received about a quarter of an hour ago.

I followed the instructions and did, indeed find the teddy icon.

Any suggestions and thoughts?

Please someone slap me, I'm getting out of control again ... Just posted this to the Magster:

I went to a knife swapping party once but I think I misheard what was expected ... The door was very firmly slammed in face when I showed them my chopper!

Sorry!

I'll get me keys ..?

Bushy,

I wouldn't worry too much - I've just posted a novelty use for ear-wax!

Peter - I had that one a while ago. It isn't a virus - it's an important file - Bushy should back me up on that one.

As I had it explained to me, it's someone who can't be @rsed writing a virus themselves, so picks an obscure file and asks people to delete it - therefore doing the job of a virus themelves.

All,

It is a hoax. Been doing the rounds for quite a while now. The trick with hoaxes is that give you a load of spiel as if it is someone genuinely confused or they claim that not even Sophos or McAfee know about it yet!

If in doubt send it to me and I'll check it out for you. Never forward them on to anyone as it merely a way in which your address list is fired out onto the Internet so that tw*ts can then spam you with adverts! Even if you do get infected don't hestitate to get in touch and I'll help you get shut of the nasty little b*ggers!!

JDBGMGR.EXE is the Microsoft Debugger Registrar for Java if anyone is interested and whilst totally vital for normal systems operations it is used by your operating system.

BW. (With serious hat on!)

Unfortunately I panicked and followed the instructions straight away. Idiot.

What did I delete?

PS I've re-emailed everybody to tell them it was a hoax...

From the intranet of the world's biggest computer company (whatever Microsoft might tell you!):

Do not fall victim to this Hoax:
jdbgmgr.exe is a legitimate Windows file.
Do not delete it. This Hoax has been
circulating since August 2002.

Peter,

If you're on Win2K just re-boot and the file should re-install.
