The Conclusion By Kruvel

The Conclusion By Kruvel

There are many other ways to kill your PC. Human creativity has no borders, but it is not about the quantity. It is about manifesting your inner being. Your inner being is not destructive, as a shallow understanding of this series can looks at first. It is a defense of the Creation inside us, attacked by the destructive role of overused technology.

Computers are not creative; they are just mechanical tools following linear mathematical calculations and electronic signals. It is not intelligence. Do not believe the lies about creating artificial intelligence and artificial life. It will never happen; it is a pure manipulation or a futile wish of some frustrated misanthrope with ambitions to be gods.

Artificial existence cannot create Love. An existence without Love is non-existence.

Computers will never laugh. Humor is a special gift to humans, coming from the heart of the Creation. It is a paradoxical answer for the absurd of the mechanical existence. It comes from love too.

Computers cannot create beauty. They can only follow the tasks given by humans, acting through apparatus made by humans.

With a personalization of computers as living organisms and with asking them for all answers and problems, we can only deepen the alienation from ourselves and from others. Einstein once said that a problem created by one system could be resolved only by another system.

We are spending too much time with computers. I am not saying they are not useful. Yes, they can be beautiful tools to help people. However, they are only tools, and they are useful only to the extent after which the depersonalization of the owner is starting. Addiction.

Do not allow a machine to control your life. You must control it. We have manifested here some ways of a highest control, destroying them. Know that if its dead matter achieves a highest control over you, it will destroy you. It is the only logic of the dead matter.

Look at the mirror of your true self. A light there is above all vibrations in this dimension. It has all the answers. You do not even need to ask for them, just give enough time to it to evolve. It simply is.

Life is too short to spend it in front of your PC.

Look at its name, it is a false identity. If it is Personal Computer, this means that it is yours, and you are not its. You are The Person, not it. Moreover, a computer means a calculator, nothing else. So it is Your Calculator. YC.

Use it for calculating only, or simply as a tool. It would be an ultimate way to kill it, leaving it alive.

Viruses: The Long, Slow PC Death

Viruses: The Long, Slow PC Death 

Computer viruses are a rather tricky subject to talk about. Right now, as I type these words, brand new viruses are being devolved somewhere that we have never seen. Also, every virus is like a snowflake. It leaves you with a cold, wet spot on your nose. No wait, each virus is different. It exploits a different security breach in a different way and performs a very specialized task. While it is rare to find a single killer virus, they can still bring a system to its knees.

I know Mac users are already snickering to themselves at the mere mention of using viruses to kill a computer. I will coincide that point. Viruses are (for now) still a problem that a majority of Mac users do not have to worry about. With such a small market share and a decade of Windows vulnerabilities to work with, it would be foolish to write a virus for the Mac. However, do not let your smugness get the best of you. Just because Mac viruses aren’t common place, that doesn’t mean you should let your guard down. When someone is determined enough to cause problems, they will and it won’t matter the system you’re on. Now that my PSA is out of the way, let’s kill a PC.

First, let’s prep the computer. Naturally, you will want to turn off any virus scanners. While no virus scanner can ever be 100% effective, you don’t want it to happen to stop your infection. Next, turn off any firewalls on your computer and skip any routers on your local network. You want a completely unfiltered line to the Internet for this. Firewalls will block a great deal of questionable connections to your computer. Also, routers can sometimes act as a crude firewall. So, bypassing that will cut off any protection it may have offered. Your computer is now all set up for the next step.

The next step involves breaking nearly every common sense rule of the Internet. Be sure to use Internet Explorer (IE) over any alternatives. Much like the PC vs Mac debate, IE is in a similar place. It has a ton of vulnerabilities as well as a larger install base. While using Opera, Chrome, or Firefox doesn’t make you 100% bulletproof. But, it does yield greater protection partly because it is a smaller install base. Although, Firefox is slowly catching Internet Explorer.

Now that you have IE out of its dusty corner, go to your e-mail’s spam folder. Look for any e-mails which have attachments and open them. This is another case of laughing in the face of conventional thinking. Spam e-mails will sometimes contain a virus laden attachment which acts as a foot in the door for other infections. The simple act of opening them will infect your computer. This infection may just be a piece of software designed to show you ads. But, it could also look a program designed solely for the downloading of more viruses. Once overburdened with viruses, your computer is as good as dead.

What’s that? Your e-mail was squeaky clean? There is more than one way to make your computer sick. This involves catching a wild virus from the Internet. Often it is thought that you have to go to a shady website to catch a virus. While this is true, it is very easy to get viruses from going to more adult orientated sites as well as sites which host illegal activities, it is possible to catch a virus by doing nothing at all.

You may recall I had you by pass any routers as well as disable firewalls. There are some viruses on line that just randomly try IP addresses. If there isn’t a computer to infect, they will try another until they find a computer to get into. By removing all the filtering, you are making your computer one of these open computers that viruses will latch onto. How long it takes is hard to say. But, once a virus downloader gets onto your system, it can happen really quickly.

Measuring the effectiveness of this method really depends on what you call dead in this case. If you want the computer to completely refuse to turn on, then this method will not cut it. The day of the killer virus has passed us by. But, it is possible for a computer to be completely overburdened with viruses. To the point of being unusable for all the warnings and from the instability virus code often introduces to a computer. Once it reaches this point, nothing can be done short of completely wiping the computer’s memory and rebuilding it from scratch.

Chips Other than Barbecue: Maximum PC Damage

Chips Other than Barbecue

Love or hate computers, one has to marvel at their engineering. Even what you may consider a large tower PC is remarkably small for the power it wields. The invention which makes this all possible is the microchip. Looking down onto your computer’s motherboard reveals a great assortment of different chips. But, what do they do and how can you kill your computer by tampering with them?

In truth, any decent amount of damage to the motherboard will destroy it. It is a remarkably fragile piece of technology. But, there are four chips which are of interest that you may wish to single out for the pure satisfaction of doing the greatest amount of damage.

The first of these chips is of course the central processor. Much like how all roads lead to Rome, all data paths eventually lead to the central processor. It handles all the computer’s instructions and allows it to carry out various functions. The processor can be easily removed where it can be damaged in any way you wish. Because it can be so easily replaced, I will not spend much time on it for other chips that cannot be just swapped out so easily. The central processor is found under its large heat sink on the motherboard.

If the central processor handles everything, how does it get its information? It does so through a pair of chips which are called the North Bridge and South Bridge. This pair of chips is the phone lines and highways which information travels to get to the central processor. But, unlike the processor, these chips cannot be replaced very easily. Damage to them or to the pins holding them to the board will make the motherboard useless. You can find these chips by looking for their small heat sinks on the motherboard, near the central processor.

The last chip which you may wish to single out for damage is the BIOS chip. The BIOS is what allows your computer to start up and run until the operating system takes over. Depending on the motherboard, the BIOS chip maybe replaceable or it may be a permanent fixture on the board. Without the chip the computer will not even start and as such is a good target for someone whom wishes to disable their computer. It can often be found near the slots which the sticks of ram plug into, but can sometimes be found elsewhere.

To work, the computer needs all three of these chips in place and functional. Without them, the structure of the computer breaks down. Without its structure, the computer is nothing more than an empty husk.

A special advice about destroying laptops

A special advice about destroying laptops

They are even more dangerous than personal computers. It is not enough that you are spending most of the time with them in the office and at home, no, they are following you everywhere. In the restaurant, in the car, on picnics, on summer holidays, in the toilet, in the bed, while with friends – just everywhere.

Laptops. The sentinels of Deux ex machina. The legions of the Non-being.

A laptop is attached to you as a parasite in symbiotic relation with your uncontrolled self, sucking your life juices.

Kill them! Kill them all!

There is not much to say here. You can use literally all 25 ways of killing a PC in order to kill The Parasite too. You can not make a flowerpot from a laptop, my friend.

There is one big advantage with laptops, a great satisfaction for owners and a beautiful revenge. Namely, I was sad that I couldn’t recommend this way to kill your PC, because its form and configuration can cause an injury. With the laptops there is no danger – they are thin and flat. Just put on your heaviest shoes, and place the laptop on the floor.

I hope you have 100 kilos or more. Jump over it with all  the rage accumulated inside you. Jump as much as your powers allow you. Jumping over a hatred object is an archetypal mode of expressing a great rage. It is a wish for total annihilation. Therefore, smash the plastic parasite into a mass of no definition, no name, and no shape. Make it a shapeless and nameless non-existence.

When the rage pass up, coldly sweep out the garbage and throw it into the trash can.

Very clear.

Throwing rotten tomatoes on my computer

Throwing rotten tomatoes on my computer

Great spirits are considered those people who can find fun in everything they do. It is perfect way to neutralize stress, anger, and negative energy. Humor is probably one of the most mysterious human characteristics. Where it came from? What is the exact psychological process that can transform the inner energy into a pleasurable experience? What is known so far is that laughing is very natural healing process. It can keep a critical balance of the normal mental state, as well as the physiological well-being.

A great joker like you will always find a way to make a fun from some unpleasant event. Well, getting pissed off from a computer to the extent that made you decide to kill it is certainly a situation where all your creativity should be expressed. To win the bastard with exactly opposite energy it caused inside you. That’s a victory, for being defeated in your spirit is worst feeling you can experience. No way! Laugh on it; screw it in a way that will be remembered.

So you invited your closest friends on a special party in your yard. There will be lots of beer, grill, and much fun, you promised. They of course know your nature and accepted your invitation with pleasure, expecting a good Sunday afternoon.

Previously, you prepared everything. Best beer, best meat, best music, and 100 kilos of best rotten tomatoes. Right. You were especially inspired this afternoon – loud waves of laughter were preventing your friends to eat normally, which was not the case with the beer. After two hours, they were drunk and laughing has become even louder.

Now is the moment. “Excuse me for moment”, you said, and you went in the house to take the computer, with all its parts. Your friends were confused only for a moment. “Will you give it some beer? We know how much you love it, so maybe you want to declare your marriage with The Machine?” one of them asked you. Pandemonium.

“No, you said, it will be a divorce. And beer is not good for it, it drinks only ketch up.”

Laughter.

“Ketch up?”

“Just a moment”. Than you opened the covered packages with tomatoes in your yard.

“Gentlemen, I am inviting you on the greatest ketch up party in history”. You took the first tomato and threw it toward the computer. The hit was a complete success – straight in the center of the monitor. Tomato juice splashed over it.

Few seconds of total silence. Then the loud laughter scared the cats in the neighborhood. Your friends immediately understood what is happening.

“You crazy freak, you could tell us earlier. We would contribute with some ideas.” They all started throwing tomatoes on the computer. What a sight. Tomatoes are splashing and spraying on it and around. Loud screaming (and beer) followed every hit.

“Woooow! I got the keyboard. It’s dead. This is for my son. He is 12 hours daily with the PC. Give me more tomatoes, my friend.”

“I think I will soon invite you on watermelon party.”

Cheers, fellas!

Leave your computer on the Central Square

Leave it on the Central Square

Public manifestations of personal relations are most often considered as stupidity, lack of taste and culture, or craziness. On the other side, when the personal gesture has some higher and commonly important message, then the act of manifestation can have far-reaching positive outcomes.

When you made the decision to kill your PC, it was not only because of your anger, but also because of the general mass psychology that today’s life is not possible without a computer. You never accepted it. You have made research about the mass psychology of the modern societies, so you know that there are centers that shape it according to their needs. Usually, it is all about money and control.

So what to do? What kind of message should be sent from your decision to finish with a life dependant from computers? How to do that?

Here is the idea. After you have made a thorough deletion of all files from the hard disc, buy some intense liquid green color that cannot be wiped out. With great precision, write down on the black screen of your PC the same words (in the same shape, just much, much bigger) from The Movie you have in your mind. It should be like a parole over the monitor.

The rest is a formality; we will not go in details since The Message is most important. Just find a way (I don’t know how, but find it!) to go with the computer in a bag to the center of the central square of your city, where many people are walking around. Try not so many of them to see you taking the PC out of the bag. Just put the computer’s body on the ground and then the monitor over it.

Leave the square as soon as possible, and do no come back there. Now, it is up to the people how will they receive your message.

There is a computer posted on the central square. It is just there, as a grotesque monument of the absurd and nobody knows who put it there. People are passing. In one moment, a girl is approaching the computer. She is about 18 and she is… how to say, she is just…beautiful. One sight at her face will tell you that she always thinks what she speaks and always speaks what she thinks. She instantly understood the message. A big open smile as a spring wind makes her face to radiate as moonlight while reading the green words on the black screen.

Wake up, Neo…

Mission accomplished.

Make your computer a flowerpot

Make your computer a flowerpot (The transformation)

All things on this world have dual nature. Depending on the perception, one can see a subject with diametrically opposite views. It is not accidentally that most of the eastern philosophies have the dualism as foundation. Everything is consisted of two powers, two principles, good and evil, day and night, man and woman. Yin and Yang. The real wisdom lies in the balance, while not causing a clash between the two sides, but harmonizing them into an interrelated unity. To make them cooperate.

So this way could probably not be noted as killing, but rather as a transformation. The transformation of the elements in the nature is an eternal process. Old things are given new meanings, new tasks, and new use.

Your mission this time, my friend, is to transform the evil into beauty. As your decision to end your addiction by your PC is final (it is above the dualistic concept), and you are such a gentle, peaceful, and aesthetic person, acts of aggression are not familiar to your nature. Even in the moment of decision to finish with it, you didn’t get upset. “It finished its role in my life”, you said.

Of course, to make a flowerpot from a computer is not an easy task. You have two possibilities. First one is to empty it from all inside parts, to perform holes on the bottom, and to use it as it is – a rectangle. I am sure your creativity and aesthetic sense will find some way to decorate it. Maybe to panel it with clay, or wood, or something else. The second possibility is to destruct it, and to fabricate a flowerpot in a complete new design, made by computer parts. A complete transformation.

Whatever you choose, following your inner meditative being, I suggest you to plant a lotus flower. You must make muddy soil. Universally, lotus is symbolizing the purity of heart and mind. In Buddhism, lotus has the greatest symbolic meaning. Growing from the mud, while its astonishingly beautiful flower appears above the surface of the water, it symbolizes how a human soul can rise from the primordial mud of materialism to the enlightened beauty of the spirituality and divine.

Lotus is pure beauty, and pure beauty has no other reason to exist except to be beauty. Always be open for beauty, my friend. It can save your soul.

Most famous and most used Buddhistic mantra is connected with lotus.

Om mani padme hum

Find the meaning by your self. That is the way.

Namaste!

Slow Roast Your Computer

Slow Roast: Overwhelming a computer’s cooling system with a hot environment

As the summer drags on and the temperature creeps higher and higher, the natural predator of computers everywhere is on the prowl in earnest. Heat stalks computer hardware, weakening them and making them unstable creatures. With the summer’s heat at its highest, it is the perfect time to harness this energy to strike down your computer. But, the real question is just how to harness such a force.

To understand how to use the summer heat to kill a computer, you first must know how a computer keeps cool. With the computer on, you may have noticed that you hear the soft hum of many fans. Inside the computer is several fans, generally between four and six in total, moving air through it. Also, there is a set of heat sinks which wick away heat from high temperature areas where it can cause harm. These heat sinks are giant metal radiators which gets the air blown through them. They utilize the great temperature difference between them and the air to quickly wick away heat.

It is in this that summer heat and be utilized. If the room’s air is hot, the heat sinks in the computer are less effective. When this happens, the computer can quickly start to overheat. Even more so if it is under a great deal of load at the time. In order to use this method, you must live in a hot climate. If you do, simply turning off the air conditioning to the computer room and shutting the door will be plenty to accomplish the task.

What happens is as the computer expels heat, it blows that hot air out into the room. Because it is trapped in the room, the room grows slightly warmer. Also, because it is hot outside the house doesn’t radiate that heat. Air the air cycles through the computer over and over it picks up more and more heat. In time, the air in the room will start to approach the temperature of the heat sinks. When this happens they are no longer an effective cooling method and the computer overheat.

The length of time it takes to do this really depends on the size of the room and the power of the computer. A very powerful system will throw out a surprising amount of heat. If the computer locks up, reset the computer and continue slow roasting it until it fries itself. Also, as with other methods which involves the computer cooking itself to death. The chances of this working often comes down to the power of the computer itself. If it is able to cook itself at a high enough temperature, it will in time fry itself before locking up. But, under powered machines may live on simply because it doesn’t generate enough heat.

Shall We Play a Game? How playing Lose/lose can kill your computer.

Shall We Play a Game? How playing Lose/lose can kill your computer.

There are many ways to kill a computer. While many of them can be fun and viewed as a form of entertainment. But, at the end of the day they aren’t meant to be taken as a form of entertainment or a game. Well, that is until now. Lose/lose is a video game that incurs real life consequences when you play it and it is meant to show that our actions in life has far reaching effects. But, what does that mean exactly and how can you kill your computer with a game?

The game Lose/lose is an art experiment meant to show that our everyday actions has real world consequences. To prove this, every enemy you face does not fire upon you and is based off of a random file on your computer. When you kill an enemy, to show the consequences of your action the file the enemy was based on is deleted from your computer. This can be any file on your computer from a picture of you at the beach to a vital system file. When you are killed, the program deletes itself.

As you may imagine, it can take some time for that vital system file to show up for deletion. The typical computer can have tens (if not hundreds) of thousands of files. It is all a numbers game when killing your computer in this way. It can be the first enemy you see or the ten thousandth. But, sooner or later this will, without a doubt hit a vital file and kill your operating system (OS). Without the OS, your computer is merely an expensive paperweight. There is one thing that you should note. While this does kill the OS, it will leave the hardware intact and fully functional. Wither or not this is a positive or negative result depends on any salvage plans or other means of destruction you may wish to impose on it.

If you wish to try your hand at Lose/lose, and actually destroy your computer you can find the game at http://www.stfj.net/art/2009/loselose/. (it ls not in an active link form, since it could really damage your computer, so don’t do anything stupid and don’t play it unless you mean business!). In a second thought, it could be a fun thing to try on a public internet cafe… but make sure you have your back covered and that there are no spy cameras around. You might also be ready in advance and have a friend to pick you up from the police station, or, from the hospital…

Should we remind you one more time not to try it at home!
