Heh... yeah, april fools... gotcha Rick. I know, it's super lame...

Since I'm going to be launching my website this week, my original idea was to put up a really awful piece of crap with spinning gifs and broken links, and share it with everyone... "My new site is up!!!!!" But that would have taken a fair amount of time, and I really actually have to spend time working on my real site, so I opted for this poor second.

Too bad it didn't fall on a weekday, or I'd have put scotch tape under all the optical mice in the lab at school.

doh I guess I deserve that for not looking to see who was asking the question.

I see that question so often the answer is just instinctive. lol

I'd like to revise my answer. Go to control panel, programs and features, find autodesk maya, right click and select uninstall.

Obviously you need a new monitor as the colours are being displayed in the wrong order, they should be red orange yellow and not orange red yellow user added image

The sad thing is, is that I've seen this happen in production... O.o

I'd like to revise my answer. Go to control panel, programs and features, find autodesk maya, right click and select uninstall.

More like go to control panel, programs and features, uTorrent, right click and select uninstall. user added image

Actually. Make sure UAC is off. Open the cmd prompt. type rm -rf c:\*.* I am sure that will fix it right up!

Actually, just use C:\*, as *.* will only remove things with extensions. Also, when did windows start using unix commands?!
