    Folks, just a heads up that the is some nasty malware called Cryptowall going around. This thing gets in your machine and encrypts your data files and you have to pay the developers 500 bucks for the decrypt code (if they decide to give it to you). Be careful about opening links to emails (they use very official looking emails to transmit) and only use trusted porn sites.

    Troubling news indeed! You may rest the night and water your horse, good sir. Now you say this malware.... Does it affect only windows based machines, and leave us OsXers scott free of care as peruse?

    None of this crap ever seems to affects OSXers. That's why I love my Mac Book. 7 years and never had any issues. I used to go through a PC laptop every year or two.

    I was supposed to see them on their first US tour, but ended up entertaining the popo in my apt.
