Ah, Vundo. *waxes nostalgic* It's the malware that keeps on giving. Just when you think it's gone from the Internet, it's not.

[CJane]

well my virus scan didn't pop up anything with that pdf.php but I was getting the funky adobe pop ups and browser crashes after I left my picture for ThomAss and Atwat...and then got banned   Then when I ran my virus scan later that night I did get a Trojan Horse Vundo virus that came up...hopefully it is all gone now...and I don't use IE, I use FF.

I'm running a scan right now.

Hi,

perhaps  this helps: http://www.heise-online.co.uk/security/Zero-day-exploit-for-Internet-Explorer-is-spreading--/news/112251

Heise is imho the best german news forum concerning security, IT, and democracy for about 10 Years now I think.

Hm, in other news, hardware specs for TS3 have been released: http://thesims3.ea.com/view/pages/newsItem.jsp?item=236875146

I'm confused. What do they mean by this?

At least 6.5 GB of hard drive space with at least 1 GB additional space for custom content.

 

[SoggyFox]

Means you need at least one additional gig for the stuff that currently goes into 'My Documents', that or for all the ads.  Its not that bad for me, but man, that's just goofy.  Anyone remember the days when they delayed SimCity 3k because they'd made it where everyone was going to need new computers, and Will Wright or some other maxis person decided to go back and downgrade it a bit?

Those were the days.

i'm soo not buying TS3!
i still can't get over the FA's invitations to that TS3 event...Best meshers,my ass! considering that half of them use 3D models and the other half make crappy content...
My laptop is good but cant see myself installing 1Gb for the main game plus all the other EPs... I got some wonderful S2 stuff that i'm sure will never be converted, and i dont want to lose it...so unless a big accident happens and i loose all my dowloads, there is no S3!

I read over the specs, and it seems that the 1 GB is more of a suggestion of how much extra space you should "set aside" for CC storage on the hard drive. Since most hard drives usually have 40+ GB space this isn't all that awful (56GB on my '04 laptop), but if you have an 8GB mini pc, well, your kinda screwed (you wouldn't have a CD drive on one of those anyhow). You won't have to go out and upgrade your memory for this if your at 1GB (unless your at 512 still ). After reading the specs, I am actually looking forward to TS3, as they aren't all that intimidating; basically, what I have now. I feared that it would require the hyped Centrino 2! Just worried about my video card, being an old PC and all. Must Lurk Moar!

As for the TSR pdf.php thing, I won't even visit the site anymore due to ip logging and TSR snooping. You're logged and snooped on regardless if you're logged in or not. That's just too much for me after this whole paypal fiasco. For all I know, they may have my ip's and paypal info ready for when "somethin' suspicious happens." Haven't they started sharing ip's yet? Bridgett, rt? That and they suck. Moar Rum! *Shares*

My laptop won't run it. I don't think my processor is cut out.

Meh. I wasn't planning on buying it anyways.

Meshers?  EA doesn't want meshers.  They don't want people to create new objects for the game.  Everyone who is invited is probably going to get nothing more than a lesson on how to apply textures to the models that EA provides.  New meshes are too much competition for the Stuff Packs.

New meshes are too much competition for the Stuff Packs.

I totally agree.I've never bought stuff packs because i've always found the same/better in the community.

[SoggyFox]

I do have the stuff packs, and every expansion - didn't buy them, but I do have them.  The earlier ones were usually well done, its only been the past few years where the quality has gone downhill.

[HugeLunatic]

I personally think IKEA is the best one.  Of course, I just love IKEA anyway! 

Since I play on a mac and that pack is not available, I arr'ed it and made my own pack.  Just like argon did with Life Stories.

[Missbonbon]

I absolutely refuse to buy Ikea. I think it's a major sell out on EA's part. If I had know H&M was a store as well, I wouldn't have bought that stuff pack either. My room mate jokes about buying Ikea for me for Christmas. My usual reply is only if he wants to see it set on fire and pissed on.

[SoggyFox]

I have no problem with having ikea and H&M for free - after all, EA got their money already, they don't need it from me.  In fact, I think H&M was my first non-bought one, because I objected to buying advertising.

Its a good set and Ikea is decent, if not a really accurate rendition of how versatile the real stuff is.  In fact, if I were Ikea, I'd sue for crappy advertising.
