Here's the problem: My computer has been infested with the incomprably evil SVC Host virus. In an effort to get rid of it I tried various methods I found on the internet, none of which worked. I have at this point formatted my computer AT LEAST 6 times and yet the virus comes back every single time. I have even low-level formatted my hard drive and right after I re-installed Windows I installed Norton Antivirus and the XP Service pack. Everything seemed to be going okay, but, somehow, less than a day later the virus is back up and running. I don't have a clue how I can fix this. The only sollution I can come up with is to buy a new hard drive, but I really don't want to do that if I can avoid. So, if anyone knows what to do about the SVC Host virus I would really appreciate your help.
I really wish I knew who made that virus, because I would go to their house and punch them right in the face...
I need some recommendations on some stellar GBA RPGs, stat!
My girlfriend's birthday's coming up, and she likes RPGs (stereotypical female gamer :hmm: ) and has a GBA, so I thought it'd be a good idea to get her a GBA game for her birthday.
Ever since I misplaced my own GBA (:bummed: ), I haven't been keeping up with the handheld much, so... does anyone have any recommendations for GBA RPGs?
Putin is ... not exactly the most democratic ruler around?
Oh, and did I mention that he has no real opposition for the upcoming election?
His party won the last parliamentary (Duma) election, too... perfectly shocking considering he controls all the major media outlets and they put his party in a very good light...
I'm not saying Putin had something to do with this, it easily could have been the Mafia, but either way Russian democracy is not in good shape at all.

Updated: Monday, February 09, 2004 12:11PM ET
OSAKA (Nikkei)--Nintendo Co. (7974.OK) has decided not to release a new video game console to follow its current GameCube for the time being, the Nihon Keizai Shimbun reported in its Tuesday edition.
The home-use game machine and software developer will instead diversify games and sell newly developed peripherals mainly for the GameCube. It will make games for the current model more appealing, while rivals Sony Corp. (6758.TO) and Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) plan to debut high-performance next-generation consoles that can be also used for non-game content such as movies and music.
Nintendo plans to release peripherals as early as 2005. Although details aren't yet known, these devices are expected to diversify playing styles by improving the gaming experience and connections with hand-held units rather than improve graphics and sound quality.
The decision to withhold the release of a new console was made because while the game market is contracting and becoming more diverse, "customers are fully satisfied with the performance of the current model," President Satoru Iwata said.
Nintendo will continue in-house development of a new home-use game machine for release in the future, but for the next two or three years will add functions to the GameCube.

OH NO, NINTENDO AREN'T GOING TO RELEASE ANOTHER SYSTEM!!!*
Normally, I ignore the game (hell, honestly I didn't watch it this year either). But I did check the scores for fun, it ended up being a huge offensive blowout. The NFC won 55-52 after being behind 38-13.
The real reason I mention this is that Gregg Easterbrook of Tuesday Morning Quarterback said for weeks this year that Mike Vanderjagt was kicking perfectly but would pooch one when it really counted.
My sister showed me a pretty cool site that has you choosing your stance on a number of issues and it then ranks the presidential candidates, including Bush, based on your choices. The site is www.presidentmatch.com. You can go here to see my rankings. I knew I didn't agree with Bush on a lot, but he really didn't fare too well in my rankings.
