I think it's safe to say that when you find Metallica singing about your life, your life sucks a little -_- (No, I don't mean Metallica sucks, but they're not.. y'know, happy-go-lucky or stuff... >_>)

Lay beside me, this won't hurt I swear
She loves me not, she loves me still, but she'll never love again
She lay beside me, But she'll be there when I'm gone
Black heart scarring darker still, yes she'll be there when I'm gone
Yes, she'll be there when I'm gone
Dead sure she'll be there...

 - Online games targeted by cyber-crooks -
 Oxygen3 24h-365d, by Panda Software (http://www.pandasoftware.com)


Madrid, May 18 2006 - The new malware dynamic, which has seen a shift
toward financial returns as the principal drive for malware creators, is
increasingly targeting online games. Specifically, cyber-crooks are now
after the login details for installing and accessing online games.
Similarly, these criminals are trying to rob players of the 'virtual
assets' obtained in the games, such as virtual money that can be used in
the game to buy weapons, powers, etc. Given the effort required by
players to obtain these items, there are many people prepared to pay for
them as an easy way of reaching higher levels and increasing their
reputation. In this way, the virtual economy of the game translates
into real profits for the cyber-crook.


With the increasing number of games available online, there is a
corresponding increase in the options for those willing to exploit this
lucrative by-product of online games. There is now the risk that a whole
new business model could be operated by cyber-mafias, stealing virtual
assets, of apparently no real value, and selling them for real money to
the highest bidder.


The malware that most frequently affects games are Trojans. The Lineage
virus steals the login details of a player, allowing another player to
relieve him of the virtual money used to buy weapons, privileges or
abilities within the game. The different variations of the Legmir virus
target players of "Legend of Mir", stealing their passwords. Gaobot and
its variants, although more widely known for their bot characteristics,
also try to get in on the act, stealing the Cd-Keys of several games,
and spreading to new potential victims. Similarly, they open a backdoor
on infected computers making them vulnerable to future attack. Users of
"World of Warcraft" could be affected by Trj/WoW.


According to Luis Corrons, director of PandaLabs: "The new financial
motivation for malware creators and the professionalization of malware
has led us to believe that the sacking of these virtual assets offers
potential returns for cyber-crooks that cannot be ignored."


In addition, it is important to consider the damage that this type of
malware represents for developers of games, allowing unauthorized users
to play freely using stolen login details or CD Keys. Moreover, if
companies block access to the key to prevent the fraud, legitimate users
will also be blocked with the consequent confusion and annoyance, and
generating a negative impression of the company.


One sound piece of advice for players who don't want their details or
virtual assets stolen is to ensure that they use legal software, which
has the guarantee of being genuine and untampered with by third parties.
It is also advisable to be wary of files sent over e-mail or chat
sessions, especially those accompanied by messages promising some kind
of benefit or profit. In particular, users are well advised not to open
any attachments unless they are completely sure they have come from a
trusted source. Another key to preventing infection and the spread of
this type of malicious software is the use of an integrated security
solution with preventive technologies, such as Platinum 2006 Internet
Security. Being aware of the way these threats spread and also of safe
practices will help reduce possible incidents to a minimum.

Help and suggestions needed and wanted from one and all in
Magnum Opus. (Yes, I have a big head. It's just a working title. >_>)

(Because I know that you all fuss over Sinatra as much as I do... >_>)
Sinatra fan-radio consists of:
-Sinatra (<3)
-Norah Jones (I skip if not feeling tolerating)
-"Unforgettable" (<3)

-Dean Martin, particularly "It's Amore"
-Simon&Garfunkel (mostly live, grr *hates live recordings*)
-Aretha Franklin (Skip everytime)

(these are the frequent ones...)
I have yet not come across a single Nancy Sinatra song, I sorta was expecting to... >_>

Announcement.

Since everyone lobes Tuulikki, I promise to make a soundclip about how to pronounce it when I go to Finland for the summer. :3 And then you all have to do the same, mwhahaa (=pronounce Tuulikki and make a soundclip of it).

1. WHAT IS YOUR Middle name?
Tuulikki. Look at all those purdyful double letters. Phear t3h awesomeness of la Finnish names!

2. WHAT kind of PANTS ARE YOU WEARING and what COLOR?
Black and sort of weirdly pretend-to-be-silk -kind of stuff... I dunno what the cut is called... none of the weird ones like strings or the boxer-type, just... normal.

3. WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO RIGHT NOW?
Yahoo-radio, which refuses to give me Sinatra!

4. WHAT ARE THE LAST 4 DIGITS OF YOUR PHONENUMBER?
3935

5. WHAT WAS THE LAST THING YOU ATE:
Southern fried chicken with rice and gravy. *expects a Silvie-reaction*

6. IF YOU WERE A CRAYON, WHAT COLOR WOULD YOU BE?
The kind of colour that no kid would want to eat nor put in his ear, and the one that makes most damage when drawn with on the wall. :3

7. HOW IS THE WEATHER RIGHT NOW?
*point to earlier diary-posting* Utter horror.

8. LAST PERSON YOU TALKED TO ON THE PHONE?
:$ Darling... Don't remind me :(

The pavement next to them.

10. DO YOU LIKE THE PERSON WHO SENT YOU THIS?
I stole it from someone's house and don't give a damn.

Coffee.

Probably white wine or some lame-o alcopop.

13. FAVORITE SPORTS?
Badminton is nice to play, WC-level soccer is nice to watch.

14. HAIR COLOR?
Highway.

15. FAVORITE MONTH?
Meh, don't really know. November owns because I was born then, but birthdays have the capability of being utter shit sometimes too...

16. FAVORITE FOOD?
Erm, something plentyful... The way my dad cooks salmon is to die for... And Christmas ham is just too yum, but that could be because you only get it once a year.

17. LAST MOVIE YOU WATCHED?
Holy ford, how long ago was this? I seriously don't even know >.< Months ago!

18. FAVORITE DAY OF THE YEAR?
Nothing wrong with Christmas Eve... It's just t3h awesomeness in the what-happens stuff.

19. ARE YOU TOO SHY TO ASK SOMEONE OUT?
Yes. I never have. Well, means in a daty-way. I ask my friends if they want to go, but that's a different thing, yes? I dunno, it seems that you don't really go on dates in my life... I've been on one and it was awful XD

20. DO YOU LIKE SCARY MOVIES OR HAPPY ENDINGS?
Erm, what's wrong with scary movies with happy endings? Most of them end so happily, with the villain doing one last appearance to assure you he's still alive. Phew, I worried he was dead.

Hugs

22. WHAT BOOKS ARE YOU READING?
Master and Commander, and got a couple of Batgirl's from the library today (and some other proper books too but I can't remember what they were called...)

I don't know. Last time I saw it was Finding Nemo.

24. FAVORITE BOARD GAME?
Rummycup. It's t3h awesomeness, and if some weren't so close-minded with their own silly games and rules, we could have played it with cards, but noooooo, they had to have their own boooooring version of Rummy :P :P

25. WHAT DID YOU DO LAST NIGHT?
Slept. Read a book and ate pizza = nothing worth thinking of. And this question is t3h reason Silvie has to do this stupid question thingy!

Coffee. Darling. Cut grass. Dog's paws (! It's true! They smell awesome!). My dad (... what?)

27. WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU THINK OF WHEN YOU WAKE UP IN THE MORNING?
Peeing. Also what is the time.

28. Favorite Curse word/s?
I don't play favourites with them, that's too cruel.

29. Favorite sayings?
Not the clearest glass in the cupboard. :P

I am trapped in the computer room. Please send pizza.

It's thundering outside, and it's raining so hard it's raining up as well as down. And because today was really really warm, I didn't wear my jacket. >.O I'll drown or get beaten to a mush by the rain if I try to go home. Plus I have [Janouk]'s prize with me (I picked it up from the shop) and I don't know if it can get wet, so probably not. :(
There's also the fact that if I was with Darling we'd go home and bounce because storm is sexy...

Y'know, in theory I don't object to staying all night in the computer lab; au contraire, I've done it before. It's just the prospect of being semi-forced to do so that bothers me. And my Sinatra-radio is playing everything but Sinatra - not even the others from the Rat Pack! Simon&Garfunkel or the Monkees are from the better end, then there's Madonna and some randoms that I don't recognice... And it only allows 5 skips in an hour >.<;;; T3h annoyance.
Ah well, I'll probably finish artyness today :3 It's such a healing, therapeutical piece that I'm nearly shy of making it... But wewt. *shuts up now*

My Sinatra-radio is trying to fool me: it thinks it can pass Aretha Franklin as Sinatra. Pfft.
Also, I have heard "Unforgettable" today for at least six times, either by Nat King Cole, or him dueting it with Natalie Cole. No wonder that song is unforgettable. But it is a lovely song... "it's incredible, that someone so unforgettable, thinks I am unforgettable too." :3 I love all those ble-words in that song... And the way they pronounce in these old songs... Especially Sinatra. *sigh*

I think I get high from these diary-notes. But blame ally.

[Crazy Crazy Cat]

I like his second no-message rule, although I am guilty of doing it. :(

“Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.”
-C. S. Lewis 

Sorry for the all-the-time-a-new-diary-posting-ness ^_^;;

Also, I have to say: "when the moon catches your eye like a big pizza pie that's amore!" XD I also <3 Dean Martin now.

I can't countdown from 10 in English. o_O Pathetic.
