    APK, your story sounds odd. There was probably a reason for MSSE running slow, possibly an infection or some other problem with something the computer was doing.

    Many times, it has to do with how the AV is setup. Many of them scan every file as it opens, so when you start Word for instance, every DLL, EXE, whatever get scanned as it is read into memory. The lower priority the AV is, the slowed this scan will be, and the slower your application will run.

    I have never had issues with Trend, are you saying that you do? I picked Trend because everything I read indicated it didn't have slowdown issues, I use it at home (the home edition, not the corporate) and game with my machine just fine.

    If everyone is watching something different, you aren't using less bandwidth, but if half the people on the block are watching the same show, and the other half is watching something different, video over IP will only send the shows people are watching. Multicast would take care of the duplicates, and you save huge amounts of bandwidth currently being used to broadcast what a few customers are watching. You would need to change out the cable boxes, but that isn't anything new to cable companies.

    Not to put this more into political debate territory, but didn't Bush also give out the tax rebates to people who were in lower and middle classes, and was criticized for it, while you are saying that when Clinton did it, it was good?

    Many times, the thermal shutdown has nothing to do with the cooling design. I have never seen a laptop that bad, but generally, it is caused by the heatsink getting gummed up with dirt, hair, whatever. I have had this issue with Mac book pros as well, many times, they are ones that have been in service for a while, but when the unibody came out, it happened to nearly every one of them. I do deal with many Macs as the company I work for is addicted to them, I have seen at least one from each series, and it is a continual issue with Macs that they run hot. Laptops in many cases from all suppliers have been known to run hot though, it is a design problem. People want quiet, but to properly cool something in such a small case is very hard without high-speed loud fans.

    I have had, as well as supported laptops from HP, Dell, and Apple, and none have these problems as bad as the unibody laptops.

    (Iraq was never a terrorist threat, that was just Bush and Cheny trying to take over the world's oil.)

    Are you like 10 years old? Do you honestly not remember why we went to war in Iraq? Before the Iraq war, Saddam was acting like he had WMD, it was all over the news, we pushed for UN inspections, he refused. It turned out that there were no WMD, and that the intel that pointed to there being some there was wrong, as well as Saddam acting like he had WMD was just a bluff; but beginning to end, it has never been about oil, as there still isn't much oil coming out of that country.
