http://pythonbuilder.5u.com .. im not trusting programs unless they are
veified :-P "Telegram from Python Builder, sent 55 minutes ago: Python Database is a program full of AW Television Stations and Radio Stations....you can easily switch back and forth from one to the other. This was made by a good programmer friend of mine for the Python Builders but it is being released to the public. It also has a built in bot that generates hills if you own a world and protects tourist builds but the TV and RADIO Station section is the best. Download it by going to: pythonbuilder.5u.com" joemanAug 11, 2003, 2:52am
no, this is defiantly -NOT- safe. First tip, it was packed, second tip...
Norton IDed the unpacked version as backdoor.beastie... Do you need any more? -Joe [View Quote] joemanAug 11, 2003, 2:59am
And third (its rather late), what kind of icon is that for a program that
*isn't* a virus?! Anywho... don't run it. I'm too lazy too, butttttttttt, someone should report that website so we don't have a bunch of people downloading it... -Joe [View Quote] alexthemartianAug 11, 2003, 9:57am

Hi everyone:
[View Quote] [snip....] As big as I've been into the VR TV front lately, I'm almost surprised I didn't get this telegram (Not that I would want it or been stupid enough to download the program, BUT). I guess this idiot doesn't read the NGs very much.... Either way....Glad to see his website was ripped down. :-) Cheers for now :-) PC Hamster Mayor - City Of Hamsterville Hamster Ground Zero Area - AW 5000N 272E pchamster at comcast.net Denver, Colorado (my REAL city :-)) --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Hi everyone:
[View Quote] Having said what I said above in my last post on the negative, on the POSITIVE side, such a tuner *would* be really cool IF it used the AW Mapper instead of cit info. from the AW browser itself. By that, let me explain.... Let's say (for the sake of discussion) I was tuning around the Yeti City TV Dial, but the coords. for my physical location I entered were 6500N 2000E. Given the directions Yeti City would be from my physical location, I would turn the tuner's rabbit ears towards the NE in order to pull in signals from Yeti City. Given the obstacles that would stand between me and Yeti City as well as the sheer distance between me and Yeti City, I would be LUCKY if | pulled in WRPM Channel 7, let alone the other two stations there. However if I enabled the tuner's "rooftop beam antenna", I might have a better chance. BTW....In case any of you are wondering, I am physically standing at 6500N 2000E on AlphaWorld and I can personally tell you I have no idea where the nearest road is I'm so far out (it's all open space for as far as the eye can see). Getting back to the potential of such a tuner as a legit program, if I were to turn the antennas to the SW, I just might get stations from the Hamsterville area. Some, if not most, of you may think would be pointless and useless. However, if you're just gonna build a farm out in the boondies of AlphaWorld, such a tool would be useful in determining what TV and Radio stations are the closest to you when you add a TV and decide what you're going to watch from your virtual farm way out in the boondies. :-) Then again....One could also add a virtual satellite dish too. :-) Something to think about?? Okay, I have my flame retardant suit on now. Hurl awaay. :-} *looking for hiding place SOMEWHERE near 6500N 2000E* Cheers for now :-) PC Hamster Mayor - City Of Hamsterville Hamster Ground Zero Area - AW 5000N 272E pchamster at comcast.net Denver, Colorado (my REAL city :-)) --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

someone decides to hit you.. and believe me a proper hacker / programmer will be able to hit you with more than you could ever throw back.. - Mark [View Quote] joemanAug 17, 2003, 7:58pm

They'd just spawn more script kiddies (their friends). (abuse at aol.net was the address listed on ARIN.) KAH |
