A Pirate’s Pleasure



Several attempts to reinstall Windows after installing Ubuntu were pathetic, I always seemed to get stuck to some point where the ugly malware rootkit something showed up and started doing its business as usual. I feel like being haunted and have no idea what to do or whether this nasty pirate is able to track me, and somehow infect my system again.




A Pirate’s Pleasure



On top of all these, I recently noticed BIOS not being able to set time precisely, it is always a few hours backward. Is there anything I can do to erase this malware or to prevent further attacks? I've tried them all, antimalware, antivirus, antipirate software, and with very few results. I was thinking to delete all data on hard disk again, format and delete new MBR left from previous windows installs, and start it over using some Ubuntu Live Cd. Or maybe change my hard disk or what?


In later grades, I would be transformed by the pathos and drama of plot, the nuances of word choice, and the ordered experience of the sentence and paragraph. In first grade, however, it was enough to simply feel the power of having the appearance of reading. Later, I would understand the work of my parents, both writers, and choose English as my undergraduate major in college and then a career teaching literature. For now, I could take simple pleasure in imitation of what I saw the grown-ups doing. I had joined the readers club.


On returning home from the bookstore, I reread my recovered reading treasure with indescribable joy. I was transported, shipwrecked again on the tropical island with Captain Jim and his crew, repairing the schooner's stoved-in starboard bow, diving to retrieve the chest of gold lost overboard, bombarding the pirate deckhands with hornets' nests, and even towing their boat away from them. "Find work and fun there on the land," says benevolent Captain Jim. "Your pirate days are over." What epic prose!
