End of days: Possessed POWERPOINT predicts Mayan Apocalypse
Miscreants have crammed malware into a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation about today's supposed Mayan Apocalypse. If someone emails you a .ppt slideshow titled Will the world end in 2012?, give it a wide berth unless the world really does end today and you're feeling wild. The booby-trapped presentation packs Visual Basic macro …

Whatever. It's SOLSTICE! Celebrate!
The days are going to be getting longer now! Spring is coming! Woo-hoo! This is a good thing!
(Idiots predicting doom, based on moronic opinions on "long count", really need their heads examining ... The Maya people never actually thought, or predicted, such scenarios ...)
Re: Whatever. It's SOLSTICE! Celebrate!
I hate to burst your bubble, but whilst the days are going to get longer (woohoo as you say) winter has to come before spring :) (of course you are right, spring is coming, it just has to wait for winter first...)

Seasons are a construct ... Solstice is reality.

It's light at the end of the tunnel... so to speak :D
Re: Whatever. It's SOLSTICE! Celebrate!
I truly hope that nothing happens "today" (which, let's face it, means something different depending on where you are on the Earth) that could be taken to be the "cataclysm"... it would make all the usual believers of such prophecies even more insufferable.
Anyway; last orders gentlemen.
Re: Whatever. It's SOLSTICE! Celebrate!
But winter doesn’t have to be cold. Its more likely to be but its not compulsory.
Re: Whatever. It's SOLSTICE! Celebrate!
In the frozen land of Nador, they were forced to eat Robin's minstrels.
Winter changed into Spring.
Spring changed into Summer.
Summer changed back into Winter.
and Winter gave Spring and Summer a miss and went straight on into Autumn.

"Idiots predicting doom, based on moronic opinions on "long count", really need their heads examining "
oh right and i suppose you know more about predictions than all the Mayins combined
Re: Whatever. It's SOLSTICE! Celebrate!
"and Winter gave Spring and Summer a miss and went straight on into Autumn."
Sounds like the British climate ...
Re: Whatever. It's SOLSTICE! Celebrate!
"Spring is coming!"
Erm... you know it's the first day of Winter, right?
Re: @Stacy: (was: Whatever. It's SOLSTICE! Celebrate!)
"Seasons are a construct "
Really? Try looking outside once in a while and pay attention to what nature is telling you
Re: Seasons are a construct
Nope, seasons are real - its friggin cold outside.
End of the world?
Thank God I won't have to pay my tax bill....

I think US gov feels the same.
Would certainly explain all the procrastination.
Well, no ;-)
"If someone emails you a .ppt slideshow titled Will the world end in 2012?, give it a wide berth unless the world really does end today and you're feeling wild.".
Well, with all due respect El Reg but should the world does end (which I kinda doubt) then I can think of a whole lot more wild things to do then opening a Microsoft PowerPoint file...
But each to his own ;-)
More like rickrolling
That's so ancient and innocuous that it is more akin to rickrolling than to a real security threat.
I am pretty sure that it was intended as such by its creators (most likely a couple of high-school students). Silly, yes. Dangerous? Not by any stretch of the imagination.
That goes straight in the penissillyn category... ;-)

Neat. I've never been rickrolled in purely text format before.
DARN!!

Big Bang
The world in fact did end and we went through the equivalant of a Big Bang this morning at 07:00 ( GMT +1).
It was a rather non exciting event and the Univeral Counsel has advised us to continue as normal. Apparently he also sent out a PPT which list intructions on how to behave during the next Big Bang.
The Phrase "The End of the World is Nigh" was actually a misconception. What the origianl auther really meant to say was "The End of the World is a NightClub in Thornsbury" but apparetly he had had one too many Mai Tais and didn't actually manage to finish his phrase.
Re: Big Bang
above post reminds me somewhat of hitchhikers guide to the galaxy.

Don't forget to grab a bag of peanuts. And a towel.
Re: Big Bang & Adams
It's been mathematically proven that each volume has less new content. The next one can be generated automatically.
Not sure why they paid someone to do the recent volume.

The first rule of Thornsbury NightClub is...
Re: Big Bang
"The End of the World is a NightClub in Thornsbury"
I thought it was a pub on the Royal Mile, Edinburgh.... ?
I told ya
I saw the "rock-clock" (TM) in TiKAL bitch.
dirt runways, and adobe brick airlines!
Time to pull the plug on all the bullshit now.
Like uh,
The only thing ending is all our rights.
Like the only terrorists are big government and banks.
I said enough.
Don't ask me to serve jury without nullification up front.
Don't ask me to turn in guns. NONE
Don't ask me to get an injection.
These will cost your life!
end of the 5th age?
the fifth age? sounds like a Discordian celebration is due then.
Time to die
Obligatory
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I've watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.
Re: Time to die
Never gets old no matter how many times I hear that. One of the reasons why Bladerunner has been for many years and will most likely continue to be my favorite film.
thanks for lifting up the end of a hard day

YET ANOTHER Microsoft Security FAIL.
The title says it all. Microsoft software is about as secure as a Mayan civilisation.
EPIC FAIL

Then one out of a nearly infinite number of parallel Universes experienced the End of Days yesterday.
