I dunno, if parents aren't expected to take an interest in what their children are doing, should I be expected to take an interest in whats happening in politics?
No, hireing a nanny, takeing your child to playschool, calling a babysitter and enroling them in boarding school are all responsable acts taken by the parent to see that their child is safe in a secure and stable environment. Buying them a $1200 computer and paying an isp $30 a month to keep them out of your hair is not.
All the places you listed are supervised environments, sitting in their room idleing/lurking in chat rooms that they most likely shouldn't be in and would get in trouble is NOT.
Wake up and smell the shit you are shoveling, and leave the knit picking to parents of kids with head lice:P
Looked into this further, its mainly marketing to push more quad SLI systems (wtf else can you do with the extra 2 cards since the cpu is the bottleneck) and is just shiney effects, the proposal that they are looking at will keep all the data on the cards/SLI link, and not pass it back to the game, so your waterfalls will look sweet, but you can't use it to solve hard physics probs that are the reason for your CPU to bog down:/
Hehe, lets hope battlefield 3 comes out with some of this sort of tech, this is after all a real CPU task, and if all the physics gets offloaded to the graphics system you will need something to keep all those cores busy doing something other than waiting for interupts and user input:)
The report is, that it will work with anything 6xxx and higher (the first series of modern SLI cards).
And with nvidias track record for backward support for hardware (check out the new drivers that allow these older cards to drive H.264) I would tend to believe it.
They actually took this to excess, Dead on Demand http://www.ensconcedata.com/faqs.html drives from Ensconce Data Technology do a great job of takeing out the data in a "non-hollywood explosion" type manner, a simple mist of acid is sprayed over the drive platters when the required situation is reached.
Would not recommend AVG free, its been a consistant low performer as to viruss found for many years.
If price is the pinch try Avast!
If you have $30AU ($18US) get trend pccillin oem bundle, can usually track em down fairly easy, it does use some resources (mainly ram) but actually gets most of the baddies.
Of course if you want good protection and low resources get kaspersky:)
Or prehaps see if photoluminecent substances exposed to light for short times would hold enough image to make a fast scan possible? Would be reuseable too as it could have a "discharge" timer that would wait for the surface to be ready again.
Hrmm, I only watched the fansubs when they were first airing (LMF ones) so I guess I missed that, but still even the episodes that didn't further the plot line (as you say) meant character development and made for some good watches.
There are two types of episodes in the first season of Stand Alone Complex: Stand Alone episodes, with no connection to the season's overarching storyline, and Complex episodes, which reveal that storyline.
Huh? Am i missing something from the series here? Wasn't "stand allone complex" (complex as in mental) was about people breaking away from the herd society and linking, sometimes very unusually, with like minded indeviduals?
Seems like the auther didn't watch the series at all, just had someone else do it and cut/pasted.
To flash drive makers and external HDD makers? absolutely nothing, since it is the OS that implements the FS in this case, its the peeps who make the lil chips in (for example) MP3 players that read their flash mem and give back a structured file system (fat) that will have to start priceing up.
Biggest problem with the "dunk it in oil" method is the caps, big electrolytic caps tend to soak up oil over time, modifying their response and so, in short, will screw up the system after a few months.
My guess would be, either he is hoaxing the "$1 per pixel" bit, and just routing the lookers from/. and other media to sites that pay for referals, or this is the first stage of a setup involving an 0-day exploit, a few carefully placed images, and again pay per click referals.
I went there, was very carefull not to click any of the images, tried to find any content that wasn't makeing the guy money, and left.
Now to simply block that at my routers hosts file... ahhh
Anyone else see this as being a "topsite" that doesn't fairly rank the sites, just sells out to the highest bidder?
Imagine if google sold the top 10 slots for each of the top 1,000,000 words searched, i would think they would get more than $1bil, but then, no one would go there anymore:)
Been useing the Frontmotion installer since pre 1.0 myself, "full MSI support" meaning active directory, silent install, modification of user preferances during install.
It sure as hell is still supported, do you think I don't read the sites in question (as is my job) regularly? And why would dell do work they don't actually have to, why not just use a currently avaliable tool in the installation process?
As for a quiet install option on firefox, I was unaware there was such a feature, I asked around and nobody (includeing the firefox devs) would affirm it, hence why I am useing an MSI package (even the official mozilla one doesn't support unattended quiet install) that does support it, and allows me to set some other bits and pieces allong the way.
If you read on the Frontmotion web site, the company I work for is listed in the "success stories" area;)
The point I was trying to make is that 1.0.6 is the latest MSI package Frontmotion have put a link to on the mozillazine site, and that because of that DELL are maybe not clicking enough;)
Its a pain in the arse to setup a script like this, with GPO its easy, but on pre-install it can be a bother, much easyer to just load all the good alternatives on their (if they would only give us MSI packages/silent install options) PCs and then try and educate them on the differances. That way if they format the computer themselves they will either ask the vendors for the software or find it themselves:)
As for the trolls who mention not installing IE... can't be done via windows-PE installer, and i doubt microsoft would allow it unless pushed to do so.
However if the people at DELL had of just gone one more click to the guys full site, they would see the latest MSIs built ready for pre-install or corp rollout needs http://www.frontmotion.com/Firefox/.
Big thanks to "DraconPern" for doing this, OEMer i been working at has been rolling this onto default install for around 14 months now, not had one gripe about bloatware, and quite a few thankyous from people for saveing them the effort:)
http://housecall.trendmicro.com/ allready done, java virus scanner, cross platform, removes as well as finds. Now if only it worked as resident protection... ahh well, now that would be wanting everything:)
A good indicator of the current standing of AV products (and it rings true from personal cleanup of around 10 virus infected machines a week, most of which have anti virus solutions installed) is http://overclockers.com/articles1260/
Interesting thing of note, trend micros online "housecall" virus scanner is now a fully java implemented scanner AND remover of viruss and adware. Finally a cross platform FREE quick scan that will find 99 out of 100 new virus infections:)
Also, are you refering to AVG "free" or their AVG pro? second product isn't that bad, but the free one, avoid it like the plague, the default scans it performs don't scan deep into compressed files and it doesn't have good configureable updateing (the key to most antivirus packs, of course, being regular updates).
Not had a chance to play with kasperski personally, know a few peeps who use it, and love it.
I myself run a good router/firewall host and don't use ANY anti virus suites, instead relying on trend online to scan incomming folders when i need it to, email defence done by yahoo! and half a brain about what to download/run/open.
Virus free useing this method for over 3 years now, and counting:)

C4, plastique or TNT is definitely not required
I see it as descrimination, oh wait, is this so they can still play "deer hunter" titles?
Come to Australia, relive those old memories :)
As an idea our primary telco just happily announced that they can now provide broadband to allmost 16% of all Australian homes.

"Whats that smell?"
"Oh, its just the dead roaches and wasps rotting in the walls"
There was an old woman, who swallowed a fly... oh, you know that one allready?
I thought it was SOP to deny all rights then allow only the ones you want to?
Oh, wait, are we building a routing table or a country here?
Or prehaps see if photoluminecent substances exposed to light for short times would hold enough image to make a fast scan possible? Would be reuseable too as it could have a "discharge" timer that would wait for the surface to be ready again.
Any chemists care to lend an idea?
Hrmm, I only watched the fansubs when they were first airing (LMF ones) so I guess I missed that, but still even the episodes that didn't further the plot line (as you say) meant character development and made for some good watches.

Still great series, and 2nd gig is just as good
Huh? Am i missing something from the series here? Wasn't "stand allone complex" (complex as in mental) was about people breaking away from the herd society and linking, sometimes very unusually, with like minded indeviduals?
Seems like the auther didn't watch the series at all, just had someone else do it and cut/pasted.
To be honest? as far as the series and manga is concerned, the movies (first and second) are way later on, not in the middle :)
To flash drive makers and external HDD makers? absolutely nothing, since it is the OS that implements the FS in this case, its the peeps who make the lil chips in (for example) MP3 players that read their flash mem and give back a structured file system (fat) that will have to start priceing up.

For those wondering why this particular version, it is the latest to support FULL msi options http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=1380 33 as listed on the official mozillazine forums.
