      Hi! Alexander,              On 08/04/14 14:06, you wrote:               ak> No, but I believe it must be true. There are so many viruses now and        ak> their amount is growing up significantly, every year. As for me, I        ak> don't use an anti-virus that works constantly. When I've got a virus I        ak> load my computer from the USB boot disk and run a program for virus        ak> scanning.              This is an unknown condition here. All of our machines are moderately fast.        We have eight PCs: two physical machines and six virtual computers, for       specific tasks. E.g. you've used one of my virtual computers to post your       note on.              We've only experienced one viral-like attack last August, on my wife's       virtualised XP SP3 computer. It was easily fixed using the last backup of the       (virtual) hard disk, and restoring from the previous afternoon's backup.        Since then I've installed an anti-virus package that runs all the time. There       are other browser add-on packages that also protect my wife's internet       wanderings. That's the only computer of the eight that has any anti-virus       software installed.               PQ>> railcars, with its own furnace & forge facilities. Is that what you        PQ>> mean?)               ak> There is a blacksmith's work. It is when a blacksmith takes a metal        ak> detail, puts it on the anvil and strikes it heavily with his huge        ak> hammer. A forging plant, I believe, is a factory shop, where many        ak> blacksmiths do their work. It is especially noisy if they use big        ak> pneumatic hammers. Actually, you can't talk when work is going on. So,        ak> I told you about the cats who lives in such a shop. Probably, these        ak> cats would be happy to go away, but they don't know another place        ak> where they can get milk for free. ;-)              Ah. Yes, I understand. I was wondering if you were about to educate me in       some aspect of your life's experience, whilst I had in mind that there could       be other forms of forge-ing. I.e. art forgery or banknote forgery, or       jewellery forgery, etc. I had an urge to ask, you see.               PQ>> That's me! I did that the night before last: found the bottle (Tia        PQ>> Maria), and then proceeded to spill a good deal of a portion when I        PQ>> was re-filling a 'hip flask'. :)               ak> If you spill something on the table you can suck it with your mouth.              Not on that table. It hasn't been cleaned for nearly two years! It's in my       youngest daughter's room, and she is away nursing at a hospital in the 'wild       west', in Mount Isa (a mining town... well, the largest city in the world in       fact!). :)               ak> Beside enjoying with the spilled substance you'll hear a funny,        ak> gastric juice emitting sound. ;-)              Please, Alexander! This is unmentionable in present 'company'. ;-)              Cheers,       Paul.              --- Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:17.0) Gecko/20130330 Thunderbird/17.0.5        * Origin: news://felten.yi.org (2:203/2)    |
