    Default I hate computers (rant)

    Sooooooooooo

    I've been working the better part of Thanksgiving break working on a project for english.. making a movie, powerpoint and writing a paper on a movie, The Boys of Baraka. It took 8 hours alone for me to rip the dvd to my hard-drive and halfway through making the movie my computer literally meltsdown. so now i've had to re-format it and start from scratch and the best part is my project is due tomorrrow.

    Sounds like you either got hacked or caught a virus...

    I had a friend that got hacked and the hacker was using his computer as a alternative storage device...

    The best thing that you can do to prevent hackers is to have a active hardware firewall via a router of some sort. Like a linksys or something.
