Just FYI, you can still get attacked by worms even if the only thing you do is plug your computer to the internet. Having automatic updates prevents this, but for my security class we tried putting a computer on XP freshly installed with no updates. You'd be surprised how many bots there are just scanning for old shitty computers.

That being said, shocka you already have a lot of protection tools that you're mentioning. Granted, they aren't as resource intensive and extensive as virus scanners and what not, but they're very powerful tools. Without those options (ie you use IE6 or something) you can easily get problems.

That being said, I only run MSE on my laptop and computer right now. On my main computer I run Comodo, no anti-virus (because fuck, some versions of avast were fucking annoying). Most viruses nowadays are Trojans anyways since they want to make a profit and the ransomware generally doesn't get on your computer without downloading suspicious files (through browser exploits or bad torrents). Comodo's mostly useful for just closing unnecessary services that windows likes to run, but also occasionally protects against worms.

So yeah, anti-virus unnecessary with a decent firewall and browser protection plugins like noscript/adblock. Still, I'd run MSE just in case anyways, though maybe not out of the way to catch the advance stuff.

#2 Changes for #tf2.pug.na in TF2 General Discussion

I think with this move, browser-based pugs are going to take off because people are too lazy to switch IRC servers. I mean +x mode by default is nice, but the IRC channel could be done with mibbit or something (though I guess it does take more effort). Also, is the move now or later? Because I think you should wait nearly 1-2 weeks before moving so people don't get lost.

#15 Is my computer broken.... in Hardware
YankeebrownymasterIf it was just water drying it up should suffice. Ions are what kills computers since it creates bad circuits (sugar can cause heating problems though). You got pretty lucky.
The problem would be that unless his computer was in a lab then it's almost certainly not de-ionized water that was poured onto it. Water from a tap is going to have loads of dissolved substances in it.

Depending on the source/tap, sometimes it's small enough to not matter much. I (for "fun") washed an old fx something with water and it worked, though it wasn't on which makes it much safer.

Arcade the I'm a shitty person tactic

The friend is just as shitty if he causes hundred(s) of dollars of damage to a friend and doesn't try to make it up to him.

#70 d3 hmmmmmm in Other Games
defy4k DPS on level 70 1 hand wep.......good lord

Can't wait to see the best possible 2H then. Kripp's at 250k DPS with a 3.6k dps weapon. Only takes 2 days to get there now, and I remember it was hard for me to pass 100k before.

#68 d3 hmmmmmm in Other Games

I've been watching Kripp play for the last 2 days. Level 1-70 in 2 days, 130k dps. So aside from leveling Paragon, the expansion might as well be a wipe (it was like this with D2 anyways). Also ladders hopefully.

#141 REMOVE HORROR in Off Topic

Hitbox.tv is still shady (even if it the CTO argument is thrown around, it doesn't make it any more trustworthy because it's still new and he couldn't fix the shit situation before). Jwong made a post on that reddit thread about what's currently happening (doing unbans, as it seems most people have gotten unbanned) and TwitchTVSupport twitter is finally saying they are doing something about this. Whether or not something does happen is a different matter.

Either way, today is going to be a fun day. There's definitely going to be a juicy announcement later. Twitch gets it's first real negative PR test.

#56 d3 hmmmmmm in Other Games

Kripparrian hit ~19k users streaming the expansion. Got DDoS'd once or twice I think in addition to crashes, but he's planned enough to have 3 internet lines. Blizzard name 2 stronk.

Also I remember me and turts farming desert goblins for hours. I eventually broke though.

No AH means I can't make my money back too. Damn decisions. Also D2 ladder reset soon. PoE still best, but not new.

#302 meatshot 8) vol. 5 in TF2 General Discussion
StPatrickUnfortunately it was so busy catching cheaters in cs that it failed to ever catch a cheater in tf2.

It caught jmk when I was on Arc's xensity in Open. Had to be a starter because of it.

#29 Pros and Cons of NA League choices in TF2 General Discussion
Stochast1cAnAkIn's Anti-Cheat is probably the best free and readily available option out there without having to create a client that does just as much shady shit as the current ESEA client.

Still, it requires a lot of work to actually open demos and review each Cheat complaint filed. I don't doubt human detecting is still very good, but it takes time.
