That's what the search button is for. We can't help it if some people are

as dumb as you.
Dumb as me? WAKE UP! I'm posting this for the people who DON'T use the
seach button.

Hopefully, it will stop people from asking *hundreds* of times. If you
prefer to find posts between the hundreds of these, be my guest.


That is how normal people do it.

Yes, and many get annoyed.

Go screw yourself, maybe if you used the XP NGs more than 12 times since
February (funny that I used search to find that out), you would know how

to
use it, and know what I'm talking about. I, on the other hand have posted
472 times since March, definitely not a record, but a hell of a lot more
than you.

OK I won't, as long as YOU answer all those Messenger Pop-ups.
No deal? I wonder why.

5 Steps to computer safety:
1) Use a good quality anti-virus, and keep it up-to-date.
2) Use a firewall. The one in XP works fine, but there are better ones out
there.
3) Keep Windows up-to-date. It's your choice whether or not you want the
recommended updates, but the critical updates are just that - critical.
4) Beware of adware and spyware. There are many programs that will help to
protect your computer, but it's up to you to prevent it as well. Make sure
you read the agreement of the software before you install it. It should
tell you if it will be installing any additional programs.
5) Be cautious of attachments. Microsoft NEVER sends out attachments via
email. Always scan all attachments before opening them.

Despite all your idiotic mutterings, the simple fact is that you post dated
your innanities so we all have to see this tripe at the top of our readers
for months to come and be reminded that usenet is overpopulated with moronic
cases of arrested development. Also, no one gives a simple rat's ass about
your educational pursuits and your need to post such drivel does not raise
your esteem in this ng one iota. In other words, there is absolutely no way
for you to correct your rude behavior other than for you to apologize, admit
you're wrong, wrong, wrong and then contemplate doing yourself in and post a
daily diary of that contemplation so we can encourage your progress. Now
get started you little prig.

You expect him to apologise after you talk like that? Sounds hypocritical
to me.

After you answer almost every post about these pop-ups, then you can talk.
I wonder how many users have come to this NG, not bothered to run a search,
but instead of asking the worlds biggest FAQ, they see this, and their
problem is solved.

Wonder why MS hasn't removed this like they do to other top posts? (That
was a rhetorical question BTW.)

That language is not helpful one bit, and doesn't exactly add any support to

p.s. You might want to add this word to your vocabulary so that in your
much anticipated future posts you may be able to avoid coming across as a

exaggeration, embellishment, embroidery, hyperbole, boasting, inflation,
bravado, magnification, overstatement.

My god, you really need to brush up on practical usage of a hyperbole.
That was not a hyperbole.
The most it could be was sarcasm. If it was, you might want try to make it

P.S. all that name calling does is make you seem like a 5 year-old.

And please explain how my logic is faulty ). You say one thing -quite
bluntly-, but yet you mean something else?

You didn't "prove" jack cable guy. You just made a pitiful attempt to feel
superior by arguing about an inconsequential semantic (a common trait of
small minds), and you are so hopelessly literal minded that anything I have
to say is taken as being serious, literal and consequential. You are a
thick buffoon and a crushing bore.

Puff out your chest like some neurotic prairie chicken, regale your
significant other with tales of your superior debating talents and joyously
anticipate getting laid as he swoons, wide-eyed and admiring of your giant
intellect. Usenet is overrun with morons like yourself, and thus you are as
common as dog poop in central park, though unlike dog poop you lack its
existential scatological aspect, thus you are significantly less
interesting.

Your self esteem is obviously so damaged and lacking that you check into
obscure ng's such as this and attempt to play the white knight by jumping to
the defense of the rude and ignorant. Beneath your underdog exterior is a
twit eaten up by self doubt and self loathing and there is little hope that
wretches such as yourself will ever realize even a hint of self
actualization.

You're dismissed little man. Assume your accustomed fetal position and
insert thumb into mouth.

Sounds
hypocritical

After you answer almost every post about these pop-ups, then

you
can
talk.
I wonder how many users have come to this NG, not bothered

to
run
a
search,
but instead of asking the worlds biggest FAQ, they see this,

and
their
problem is solved.

Wonder why MS hasn't removed this like they do to other top

posts?

overpopulated

does
not

a

Disabling Messenger does nothing for the open ports.

You
would
need
a

Although not an obvious problem, open ports can lead to

as hackers, and backdoor Trojan viruses.

Wow, you put a lot of effort in to such a small argument. It's funny how
worked up your getting.

Run along now troll.

You didn't "prove" jack cable guy. You just made a pitiful attempt to

feel
superior by arguing about an inconsequential semantic (a common trait of
small minds), and you are so hopelessly literal minded that anything I

have
to say is taken as being serious, literal and consequential. You are a
thick buffoon and a crushing bore.

Puff out your chest like some neurotic prairie chicken, regale your
significant other with tales of your superior debating talents and

joyously
anticipate getting laid as he swoons, wide-eyed and admiring of your giant
intellect. Usenet is overrun with morons like yourself, and thus you are

as
common as dog poop in central park, though unlike dog poop you lack its
existential scatological aspect, thus you are significantly less
interesting.

Your self esteem is obviously so damaged and lacking that you check into
obscure ng's such as this and attempt to play the white knight by jumping

to
the defense of the rude and ignorant. Beneath your underdog exterior is a
twit eaten up by self doubt and self loathing and there is little hope

that
wretches such as yourself will ever realize even a hint of self
actualization.

You're dismissed little man. Assume your accustomed fetal position and
insert thumb into mouth.

Cable Guy.
Sorry, I'll try to check in here more often. I know your time is

valuable
.

Yes, yes, I concede. You're absolutely right. I really, really

wanted
an
apology. Now there.
Also, my preceding post most certainly was not, in any sense

whatsoever,
an
example of hyperbole. Yes, I have behaved like a 5 year old. You've

won
Cable Guy. Your flame artistry is way out of my league. God, you're

smart.
I'm so humiliated. You're the best my man. You're the king of the

hill.
Numero uno. I really wanted him to apologize. I admit it. I lied.

You've
exposed me....yada,yada,yada.

Now run along and pick on someone your own size before I tell me mum
