Current Residence: Essex, England.
Favourite cartoon character: Kaneda from Akira, if he really counts.

If you use it a lot and follow people who have the same interests as you, it can be great. Lots of people have a hard time getting into it, though. I love it, have made great contacts there (and friends, too).

*This was on a persons page, and It's not a chainmail. Even if you do not recieve an email, please read this!!!!!


Alot of you have probably already heard this but just to be sure.....FOR THE GOOD OF YOUR DA ACCOUNT PLEASE READ THIS!!!!!!!!

OK, so many of you have heard this already, but there's a hacker going around on DA, he's getting into peoples accounts, and even worse, he deactivates them completely. There is a way to avoid this though, if you ever get an email from nobody@Da.com or something like that, asking you to change your passwords, don't do it, it's a trick to get your account hacked, just delete the email as soon as possible.

and now onto worse matters, below is a message (from microsoft I believe) that is warning people of a massive hacker, and the steps you need to take to stop him from getting you. I would like to thank for getting this info.

IF A PERSON CALLED SIMON ASHTON ( SIMON25@HOTMAIL.CO.UK ) CONTACTS YOU THROUGH EMAIL DON'T OPEN THE MESSAGE. DELETE IT BECAUSE HE IS A HACKER!!

TELL EVERYONE ON YOUR LIST BECAUSE IF SOMEBODY ON YOUR LIST ADDS HIM THEN YOU WILL GET HIM ON YOUR LIST. HE WILL FIGURE OUT YOUR ID COMPUTER ADDRESS, SO COPY AND PASTE THIS MESSAGE TO EVERYONE EVEN IF YOU DON'T CARE FOR THEM AND FAST BECAUSE IF HE HACKS THEIR EMAIL HE HACKS YOUR MAIL TOO!!!!!...

Anyone using Internet mail such as Yahoo, Hotmail, AOL and so on. This information arrived this morning, Direct from both Microsoft and Norton. Please send it to everybody you know who has access to the Internet. You may receive an apparently harmless e-mail titled 'Mail Server Report'

If you open either file, a message will appear on your screen saying: 'It is too late now, your life is no longer beautiful.'

Subsequently you will LOSE EVERYTHING IN YOUR PC,

And the person who sent it to you will gain access to your name, e-mail and password.

This is a new virus which started to circulate on Saturday afternoon. AOL has already confirmed the severity, and the anti virus software's are not capable of destroying it .

The virus has been created by a hacker who calls himself 'life owner'..

PLEASE SEND A COPY OF THIS TO ALL!

you can thank EmiDraws for telling us this.
Please copy and paste this to everyone you know!...Before it's too late!

I tried commenting on some of your stuff but the comments didn't show up which disinclined me from wasting any more of my time sending compliments out into a digital void.

You've got good stuff should about cover it for now.

Have you seen Handy Manny? That's totally communist, I love it.

I can't think of a reason why you would have seen it, not being an infant and all, but still. Google it.

grthink In reply to kilifvak [2010-09-14 16:01:52 +0000 UTC]

Kind of, but instead of talking construction vehicles he's got a group of hispanic talking tools. It's awesome, I love it. Well, I kind of have to, because Bill does.

kilifvak In reply to grthink [2010-09-14 18:29:42 +0000 UTC]

why is he called handy manny if his magical tools do all the work?
isn't that hax?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

grthink In reply to kilifvak [2010-09-14 22:09:30 +0000 UTC]

I don't think 'Lazy Manny' would be a good name for a kids show. Plus, he tells the tools what to do, so he's more of a manager than a handyman. Maybe 'Manny' is short for 'Manager'?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

kilifvak In reply to grthink [2010-09-15 13:26:24 +0000 UTC]

Maybe: Manny the fascist dictator, opressing magical tools to make up for his lack of handiness

grthink In reply to kilifvak [2010-09-15 16:19:45 +0000 UTC]

Yep, and all the tools are equal, with very specific roles that they are discouraged from even considering deviating from (in one episode, Pat The Hammer gets jealous of how useful the two screwdrivers are and wants to become a screwdriver, but by the end of the story realises that his place is as important as any others). I think the idea is that it promotes shared responsibility and team work -- BUT THEN TEAM WORK IS JUST A FANCY WORD FOR SOCI-AL-ISM
