and went all Linux in house. Told the kid to suck it up for any games that were not available on console. 5 years later I get a couple of complaints here and there but sure as hell beats reinstalling windows every 6 months.

Terrible advice unless you have a refrigerator on your porch. Use OpenDNS and block many different things supplimenting the firewall/nat you already have.
2) Educate your kids on the types of website to avoid. Sites like Limewire (where kids get free MP3's from) are full of viruses and spyware.
Use OpenDNS to block broad categories of sites, including those that aren't malware (porn, hate, etc.).
4) Install some add ons for the browser. No Script is a good one. It blocks Java Script and the bad guys love to use that to wreck havoc.
Not necessary if you've done the things above.
6) Consider something like Norton Ghost (there are free alternatives as well) that can create a full image of your HD. Take snapshots before doing major system updates. If something goes wrong you can just restore the image and everything is as it was.
Windows 7 images natively.
7) Running Windows as a VM on top of Linux is a good idea. If something goes south you can simply copy the pristine image back over the corrupted one.
Or run Windows from a VHD.
8) Stay on top of the System Updates. Microsoft has "patch Tuesday" where they typically release system patches. Some of them are important and fix known vulnerabilities.
Thanks for that. Not everyone can view/. via a home computer screen with mouse. I was going to try to meticulously "select text" myself on my 2 1/2" smartphone screen and post the link, an excercise in futility at times.

Besides not being funny any more, your statement demonstrates a lack of knowledge of mobile devices in developing countries.
I'm pretty sure you could build yourself a whole bunch of ground-based dishes, or even a few geo-stationary relay stations, for the cost of a moon base and relay infrastructure to get the data from the far side to the near side. There are reasons to put stuff on the far side of the moon, but handling comm traffic from the dozen or so probes we've put out there isn't one of them.
If you RTFA you'll find out which of your statements are wrong and confirmation of the correct one.
Holy cow. Me, too. And I'll add I'm damn lucky in those days they didn't know what to do with people that wandered into parts of the system they didn't belong. I was dumb enough to write a program that I was sure would shut the system down and smart enough to not run it.
just jump you goddamn corporate whore, i don't care about it or your fucking chemical energy drink.
I'm also not sure of the point of all this. He's slightly beating records set back in the 60's. Other than "newer stuff" I'm not aware of any new science used for this or any reason why other to sell a caffeine sugar drink. With that said, maybe it's just enough to do better (higher, faster, longer) simliar to land speed records, etc.
He will reach a certain maximum speed on the way down, but the speed of sound is dependent on a number of things and he obviously won't be at sea level in 20 C dry air. Will he be going faster than the speed of sound in water or iron? Where he'll jump from, 99% of the atmosphere is below him and there won't even be a sound or gentle push of air resistance. To my limited knowledge and understanding that is definitely not supersonic.
Here's a link to Virus Bulletin for a comparison of free and paid packages. I'd also recommend a multi-tiered strategy of OpenDNS and and a hosts file to block bad sites, MalwareBytes to scan and check for malware (paid version provides real-time protection), and I also use Tracking Protection Lists. Takes all the joy out of it, doesn't it.
I'm not sure if you are serious, but you are correct, except for you don't have to back up anything to the cloud. Also, the "disk" is encrypted and it has local and remote wipe capabilities.
Only the recent crop of premium Android devices support these features. I have a shiny new 2.x Android device which only supports application-level encryption through third-party apps. I'm pretty new to Android, but it's important not to mislead people on this.
The same is true of iOS. You need the new stuff to have these features. I would argue that features like remote wipe, manditory encryption and whitelisting apps is much easier in iOS 5 than on Android, although I haven't looked at iOS 6 yet though.
iOS and iPhone hardware have supported the features you mentioned for a long time. However, only in iOS 4.x have all the features been accurately reported.
Don't forget that Android devices are ridiculously easy to lock down and set up with full encryption. There are actually companies out there whose entire business is doing just that for the corporate use scenario.
Its so stupidly easy to integrate Android with all of their existing email and even internal messaging apps(most of which are written in Java and trivially ported to native) that it beggars belief that they would consider much of anything else.
iPhone doesn't allow the kind of direct control that Corporate security demands, and WP7 has such a low penetration that no one is asking for it anyways. Android, even though there could definitely be better solutions, is currently the only real choice for corporate america. The worker drones get something that does everything an iPhone does(in some cases does it better, in some cases worse, but the important things are roughly the same, except for the GPS nav on android is much better) and they get their security.
The iPhone Configurator allows corporations to manage iPhones. But even with that, the iPhone's data-at-rest encryption and Activesync compliance hisorically gave them a heads-up over other BYODs. In addition, third party apps for iOS / Android have provided more granular and non-managed security features. For Android it filled in encryption feature gaps which is no longer an issue on the latest devices. On the iPhone the biggest benefit of these apps was to sandbox corporate data from personal, including a remote wipe.

Not enough money in the budget for a cup.
"Tornados also give you wings!" Cut to 30 second commercial.
My Mom (tm) disagrees.
I would presume the set designers did additional work to hide the false nature of the set pieces after trashing them for the crash scene.
Same reason my Christimas tree is decorated on only one side.
I hope whenever it is hit by a blast from enemy weapons everybody can fall over to the left and then to the right.
Uh, enemy weapons? Who the hell is hosting the parties you're attending? I'm guessing a descendant of Hatfield or McCoy.
It isn't clear on whether Dr. McCoy has any descendents. It depends on which series.

Terrible advice unless you have a refrigerator on your porch. Use OpenDNS and block many different things supplimenting the firewall/nat you already have.
Reinstall the image every month or three.
That isn't necessary.
As others already mentioned, that's rarely a problem, but you can get Advanced Tokens Manager and backup the activation.

Set updates to "automatic" and forget it.

as Slashdot approaches its 2^17th story, we've managed to keep track of almost all our old postings — all but the first 2^10, or so.
If you have 2^17 stories and lost 2^10, that's not keeping track of "almost all". You've lost around (2^6 - 2^2 - 2^0)% of the postings.
Reading the other comments I remembered that ISPs sometimes provides A/V. I'm using Norton's latest Security Suite provided by Comcast (at no charge).

I would have to need the stuff not in the free apps pretty badly to pay a subscription. As in, "do I really need to do this?"
According to DiscoveryNews, Slashdot has been dying since 2008.
Heck, you can even pair them up and monitor each other.
