Il mio calcolatore ha ottenuto ultimamente il colpo da una coppia dei trojans. I'm prudente al punto di paranoia, ma è riuscito in qualche modo a sneak attraverso le mie misure di sicurezza. Penso che abbia etichettato con un gioco libero che ho installato. L'installazione non ha detto niente circa i trojans il EULA (che ho letto molto con attenzione), ma là erano. Sono riuscito a pulire loro fuori con un po'di lavoro, ma uno di loro di sinistra alcune delle mie regolazioni del sistema in shambles. Colorilo infastidito.

[Which, when I reverse the translation again comes out as: My calculating has obtained the blow from one lately brace of the trojans. Prudent I'm to the paranoia point, but is successful in some way to sneak through my measures of emergency. Task that has labeled with a free game that I have installed. L'installazione has not said nothing approximately trojans the EULA (that I have read a lot with attention), but they were here. They are successful to clean up they outside with po'di a job, but one of they of left some of my regulations of the system in shambles. Annoyed Colorilo.]

Ya know, someday someone is going to use Babelfish, or one of its siblings, for something critical and it will lead to a gross misunderstanding and WAR. In case the original message was lost in "translation", the gist of it is that I got hit by a couple of spyware trojans that made a mess of my system configs when I finally managed to get rid of them. I'm miffed, because I think they came along with a free game that I installed to try out. I read the EULA carefully to see if it was installing any adware/spyware, and there was nary a peep. Grr.

Couldn't resist complimenting (complementing?) you on the animated icon. Had me fooled for a moment there (still getting use to firefox) before I realized what was going on.

It's my first real attempt at an animated icon. I like how the animation turned out, but I may see if I can clean up the jagged edges a bit.

yup, also noticed the icon. cute.

Even with the funky translation, it's a lot better than
it was long ago. An original driving force for machine
translation was keeping up with Soviet technical
journals during the Cold War.

Didn't work too well:

"The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak."
*translate to and from Russian*
"The vodka is good but the meat is rotten."
