Leaving Cert 2012-2013 OT Thread Part 2

There was an incidence in my local village where a group of fellas played a massive hoax on everyone by leaving a pile of clothes, shoes and a suicide note on the pier where everyone was jumping off in the sun. Someone found it and prompted every boat in the lough looking for the body with the Coast Guard helicopter rerouted from its training mission and was running low of fuel. Lifeboats from Kilkeel in the north and Drogheda were called in. Guards called over and interviewed every single person that was on the pier. Nevertheless the ones who called the prank will be held accountable and I hope they will learn from it.

At least they were caught.

Most knackers seem to forget the perquisite of a joke is that its funny.

They often seem to do it so they can then hurl abuse at them.

What abuse can you hurl at a member of the emergency services?

I dunno, but I've seen it happen.

And the same can be said for prank calls to the emergency services. Why? Whats so funny?

Or why some young pri ... prat would post a virus-infected link on this forum!

Unfortunately, some people seem to grow up with no realisation of, nor indeed care about, the effect their actions have upon others.

It's often the way they're brought up imho. Sometimes because they get SFA care or love at all in the process, and no sense of right vs. wrong is instilled; sometimes it's the exact opposite, and there's an over-abundance of love and attention, and they're spoilt rotten, and sub-consciously believe that the world / other people are just there for their convenience, and there's equally no sense of responsibility or conscience or right vs. wrong, because at base they believe that whatever suits them at any given moment IS right, and they have no responsibility or care for anyone else!

Yeh I heard about that. There was a story from a while ago about some scum starting a fire to get the fire brigade out so they could throw stone and bottles at them :mad::mad:

The virus was bad but its not going to cost a life.

Force then to sit in an ambulance for a night and let them see what they are risking.


My God they attacked the people trying to save their friend? Maybe his death will show them.

It probably won't tbh, I wouldn't be too surprised if they blame them for the death.

Oh, I know, Corvo. I was simply saying that I don't understand the mentality of people who do things like that, or what the hell they get out of it. For example, while I obviously don't condone theft, one can at least see what the offender gets out of it.

As I say, I think a lot of young people these days are brought up without a sense of right or wrong, or a sense of how their actions affect others ... and it's not always youngsters from the notorious areas!

Corvo Attano

I see the other side of the virus. Those things take work. That one was small time and you get no visible results apart from a bit of panic but the bigger ones are fascinating to see how they can autonomously infect other systems to give you control over a massive network.

Of course I'd only use my power for good if I could do that. :pac:

Its not the cartoon though. That **** was the bomb.


And yea would it not have been even better to post in the 5th year OT

Any news on what happened Randy, they said the guards would be involved which personally I feel was BS.

Not yet, but I hope they did; a good fright now might save him from a hell of a lot worse later in life.

And believe me, they do take stuff like that very seriously on this site; far more so than on most sites. Even with simple things ... you have no idea of the effort put in to keep this site spam free, coz most of it is caught and hammered before users even notice.

The site founders had very strong philosophies on certain things, especially that kinda stuff, and those philosophies to a great extent still survive.

I'd imagine his parents would be notified of it and they could put in measures to prevent it happening in future.

Corvo Attano

Depends on the nature of the virus as well. If it was collecting private info like credit card info then he's in trouble but I doubt it was that.

decisions

I think the shock of guards knocking on his door should be enough to scare him out of repeating it. Some people do not understand that actions have consequences.

Does anyone know what it was?

Corvo Attano

Probably some malignant trojan that trys to destroy your system. And done a poor job.

Corvo Attano

HA he can really be scared b the Gardaí then.

It wasn't a virus, it was a trojan. He had control of people's boards account so I'd imagine he could have had access to card details as well. He probably could have looked at people through their webcam.

Would I know if any of that happened to my account/laptop? I tried downloading except I have norton and it warned me except i went ahead with it .. till i realised i didnt need it anymore cause i think it was like a guide to studying
