Quote from Dr. Love

Also, I have a question. Why can't you make separate entries for oneshots that are included in a oneshot compilation?

The only thing I can think of is that the combining oneshots, which have been published as a unit, would decrease the amount of information the database would have to store and therefore ease unnecessary pressure on the server.

Of course, I like having all the releases listed under a neat package that is if there's been a publication to that effect.

Tangent:
Though, there is a problem that I see (though it can't be helped) is when publishers re-release oneshots in different volumes; so, if it's scanlated, the release can only be listed under one of the compilations, or else it would be a duplication. How it's handled now is by linking to the other series, but it still feels wrong.

Sorry for not being of much help.

With the amateurish skills I have, transcribed into romaji and chopped up into westerner bits is something like.

Read my post a couple of messages back. Also try Google translate. I guess it works 😀

I have a question about New Year's dinner.

Is it usually served on New Year's Eve or New Year's day? I'm having this little quarrel.. and I've never been too involved with holidays, but I am sure it's New Year's Eve.

Once it's the new year, it doesn't make any sense to cook a big meal, especially when so many people have resolved to lose weight, and it's redundant to be stuffing your face with food January 1st, the beginning of the year.

I mean, way to start the year out...

ANYWAY. What day is it traditionally served on?

Well, my family always serves it on new years day. New years eve is all about staying up until 12am and watching the fireworks on TV or at the southbank 🤣

If anything, it's like, the dinner on new years day is the first meal of the new year. As for the resolutions, I'm sure people can take one day off. Or two. Leftovers XD

This is how we have always done it. I don't know about what's the concrete traditional way though. I don't know, the idea of having a feast on the 'eve' seems odd to me.

Computer question -

Yesterday morning the comp pretty much froze up, so in desperation I hit the power switch. When I turned it back on again, it hung on the Acer screen (Windows Vista didn't start up) no matter how long I left it; turning it off, waiting, & on again had the same result.

Yesterday afternoon I took it to the local Office Depot for their "free PC Health Scan" and much to my surprise it started up just fine for them. Their scan showed my hard drive to be very full (no surprise there) and also "malware infection" though they couldn't give me any specifics unless I wanted to pay the $170 fee to have it "completely cleaned". (Um...no...)

Brought it home today, started up just fine (hooray!!!!), cleared some space, and ran a deep scan w/my antivirus, which found nothing. Downloaded two recommended malware detection/removal programs & ran them; the first found nothing & the second found four tracking cookies but that's it. So far everything's working fine, but I'm a little nervous that it's going to happen again, or that something's messed up & I just don't know it.

So - any ideas on what the heck happened to my computer yesterday morning?? And how I can make sure it doesn't happen again? 🤣

Were the two recommended malware detection programs Spybot Search & Destroy or MalwareByte's Anti-Malware or Hijack This?
Did you make sure that the programs were the newest versions and fully updated before you ran the scan?
If, upon being fully updated, Hijack This didn't find anything, you're probably fine and just need to make sure to keep the hard-disk cleaned up or buy more HD space (external drive or something similar). It may have choked on not having enough space and that was all it was.

If Hijack This DID find something, don't try to fix it yourself unless you know what you're doing. You can seriously mess up a machine by messing around with Hijack This without knowing what you're doing.

I have used the SpywareInfo Forum to get help with problems which could not be fixed by Spybot or Anit-Malware.

The first thing you should do is search their forums for whatever it says your problem is, and if you find a topic that fixes your problem, follow what it says. If you don't find one, then you post a new topic following their guidelines. Their guidelines are fairly strict, but it's a busy forum and they request those guidelines to make answering topics as orderly and quick as possible. They're all very nice and professional in answering questions.

I really doubt that problem is caused by software or virus/malware etc in your comp. It is most likely some loose connection in the hardware or your HDD is failing. If the system is unable to read from your HDD it will hang or automatically restart and at the Boot if there is a loose connection or maybe for some reason it is unable to locate the HDD it will hang at the Boot up screen.

Try switiching everything off and then removing and putting back the components one by one ( CPU and GPU not needed ) and then start your comp. Do this especially for RAM and HDD.

I am just talking our of couple of experiences.

Liria, the two programs I used (in addition to a deep scan w/Vipre antivirus, which is always on & updates every two hours or something) were MalwareBytes Anti-Malware and SuperAntiSpyWare, both updated & current. None of the three found anything more serious than a few tracking cookies, even though the Office Depot report says, "Your computer appears to be infected with malicious programs." Of course I can't get more information than that unless I pay the $170...

Since getting it home again, the computer has run just fine, no problems at all. I have cleared some disk space, but that was after it started up ok & I don't think it was desperately low on space before, so I'm still baffled. 😕

Nashnir, my system seems to be running fine now. Maybe something jiggled loose & got jiggled back in...? The concern about malware was from the results of the scan Office Depot did, which surprised me as I'm quite careful about that.

My kids mentioned that one possibility for the "malware" on my system could be some of the anti-piracy stuff that comes with some games. I don't know how accurate it is, but they say that one component of Spore "acts like spyware".

Ah well. I guess I'll just hope it keeps working~ 🤣

You're probably fine then, though as Nashnir said, I would keep an eye on the machine as it still could be the hard drive going bad. I just went through 3 HD crashes, and the system would start 'randomly' freezing - sometimes enough to require a reboot and sometimes not.
