Best regards, - PayPal Team. << ---------- Tout le monde a déjà reçu un courrier électronique lui annonçant une offre d'emploi, un gain à un jeu quelconque, un système d'affiliation pyramidal ou un nouveau type de virus. Souvent envoyé par un ami, le message est en général annoncé comme très urgent. Le réflexe premier est donc de renvoyer le message à toutes ses connaissances, qui feront à leur tour la même chose et ainsi de suite jusqu'à ce que le message fasse de nombreuses fois le tour du monde. Vous vous êtes ainsi et comme beaucoup sans doute fait piéger, mais les hoax (canulars) ont des conséquences souvent bien plus graves. De l'atteinte à la vie privée en passant par les nombreux dérapages, les dangers sont très réels. Ainsi si votre antivirus (par exemple AVG Antivirus) vous indique un nouveau problème au doux nom de EXPL_ANICMOO.GEN, ADW_AGENT.VJS, JS_DLOADER.NUF, WORM_NETSKY.P, POSSIBLE_MLWR-5, HTML_NETSKY.P, WORM_RBOT.APT, POSSIBLE_INFOSTL, WORM_NYXEM.E, POSSIBLE_NUCRP-3, il est plus que possible que vous ayiez cliqué sur un lien transmis par l'un de ces emails malveillants sans protection adaptée. Un exemple de Hoax : >> NE PAS DÉTRUIRE ET FAIRE SUIVRE SVP !!! SALUT TOUT LE MONDE LISEZ CE MESSAGE ET ENVOYER-LE AU MAX DE PERSONNES POSSIBLE. SI VOUS DETRUISEZ CECI, VOUS N'AVEZ PAS DE COEUR ! JE SUIS UN JEUNE PAPA DE 29 ANS. MA FEMME ET MOI AVONS EU UNE VIE MERVEILLEUSE ENSEMBLE. DIEU NOUS A BENI AVEC UN ENFANT ET SON NOM EST RACHEL. AUJOURD'HUI, ELLE EST ÂGÉE DE 10 ANS. IL N'Y A PAS LONGTEMPS, LE DOCTEUR A DETECTE UN CANCER DU CERVEAU DANS SON PETIT CORPS. IL Y A SEULEMENT UNE SOLUTION POUR LA SAUVER : C'EST UNE OPÉRATION. MALEUREUSEMENT, NOUS N'AVONS PAS ASSEZ D'ARGENT POUR PAYER LE PRIX. AOL ET ZDNET ONT ACCEPTE DE NOUS AIDER. LE SEUL MOYEN QU'ILS ONT DE NOUS AIDER EST LE SUIVANT : JE VOUS ENVOIE CET EMAIL, ET VOUS L'ENVOYEZ A D'AUTRES PERSONNES. AOL VA SUIVRE CET EMAIL, ET COMPTERA COMBIEN DE PERSONNES L'ONT RECU. CHAQUE PERSONNE QUI OUVRE CET E-MAIL ET QUI L'ENVOIE A AU MOINS 3 PERSONNES, NOUS DONNERA 32 CENTS. S'IL VOUS PLAIT, AIDEZ-NOUS !!! MERCI. KEVIN & MÉLANIE << moderator (2007-11-26 00:04:41) Cinema, what's up ? Beowulf, The mist, American Gangster, Hitman, Enchanted, Bee Movie, Heroes, This Christmas, Rescue Dawn, August Rush... Yes, cinema (this "old man dying" as said Alain Delon) is not completely dead yet. At least there will always be money to recycle in the name of art. Will the 3-D cinema give a last breath to the "7ème art " ? .. Any recommendation ? ---------- La légende de Beowulf, American Gangster, Bee Movie, Lions et Agneaux, Ce soir je dors chez toi, Les deux mondes, Saw IV, No country for old men, Darling, Le coeur des hommes 2, Nous les vivants... Oui, le cinéma (ce "vieux monsieur en train de mourir" comme disait Alain Delon) n'est pas encore complètement mort. Au moins il y aura toujours de l'argent à blanchir au nom de l'art. Le cinéma 3D donnera-t-il un dernier souffle au 7ème art ? ... Des avis sur les films à voir (ou plutôt à ne pas voir) ? moderator (2007-11-14 14:46:11) Hugo Chavez to Spanish King The scene took place at a summit of leaders from Latin America and Iberia. It was quite "funny" to watch it in the TV news. King Juan Carlos told Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez to shut up when the Venezuelan leftist interrupted a speech by Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero. Chavez demanded Spain's king apologize for telling him to shut up, otherwise Spanish investments could suffer in its former colony. ---------- La scène a eu lieu au sommet des leaders d'Amérique latine et ibérique. Assez "drôle" à voir dans les journaux télévisés. Le roi Juan Carlos a demandé au président vénézuelien Hugo Chavez de se taire quand celui-ci a interrompu un discours par le premier ministre Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero. Chavez a exigé des excuses, sous peine de voir les investissement espagnols en souffrir dans son ancienne colonie.
