  3. VaultLogix on Best Online Remote Backup Service w/Linux Client? · · Score: 1

    Simply the best. Windows and linux clients. One computer on your network runs it and can backup all the network shares you want it to. It's even HIPAA compliant.

    VaultLogix is a little expensive compared to other services though. But there are reasons for that. I use it on a couple servers.

    You're preaching to the converted. Reason above all. I dont have a religion, dont want one, and dont think humans need them at all.

    Forever? Are you serious?

    We can just disagree on that one. I do agree that people will try, forever, to exterminate them. I am not sure why. I am no anti-semite. I, just as you have, can look at history though. It seems that every major civilization, every milestone reached where you could call it a new society, has tried to kill or enslave the jews. Why? I dont have the slightest idea. But I do find it odd that it continually happens to them no matter where they might be gathered or what race/country/society is currently in power.

    I can only hope that is true. I highly doubt it is, but one can hope...

  7. Re:Help me ! - with my work situation and IE on Firefox Usage Climbing · · Score: 1

    XP Lite does remove it. And as for still having iexplore.exe when you have explorer.exe, that is completely wrong. explorer.exe just uses the mshtml rendering engine, same as ie. The xp lite remover removes both ie and the mshtml engine.

  8. Re:Help me ! - with my work situation and IE on Firefox Usage Climbing · · Score: 1

    You can get rid of it just fine. Use a tool like XP Lite or IERadicator. Rips it right out of the system and windows still works just fine.

  9. Re:Who cares! on What Do Geek Squad Technicians Actually Do? · · Score: 1

    Thats strange. We charge a little more than twice that and believe we are a little on the low side. There are probably 20+ techs on jobs at this moment for us right now.

    Your friend needs to market to the right people. There are a lot of people who arent penny pinchers and will pay to get the thing fixed. We dont just run up the bill though. If the fix looks like it will take longer than the cost of a new computer we always suggest it to them. Some want a new system, some just want the old familiar one to work again.

  10. Re:Hand holding. on What Do Geek Squad Technicians Actually Do? · · Score: 2, Informative

    No they dont. We are talking about Geek Squad here. They show up and tell you your mouse is dead and try and sell you a $100 mouse from Best Buy.

    Not many of the techs from Geek Squad would know what to do about the mouse problem. I work for a competitor and we go to 4 or 5 calls a week just because Geek Squad really made the computer worse. They made it so much worse that the people called us to fix it instead. They seem to push new parts more than fixing anything.

  11. Re:Talk about your gimmicks on MacSaber Turns Your Macbook into a Lightsaber · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Funny you should say that. Thats exactly what my laptop is setup to do. GRUB loading up and showing OS X, GENTOO, and XP as its three options is a beautiful thing.

  12. Re:Because Piracy Abound on XP SP2 Adoption Lagging Overseas · · Score: 1, Troll

    Welcome to the real world. Here in the real world most other countries have better broadband and more broadband users. Another funny thing is that the SP2 I install on everything doesnt do the genuine check. Yet another point would be that the check for genuine windows is rather new, way newer than SP2 and so anyone could have done it before that check, if that is the problem.

    Do you have any valid points?

    Well put, wrong, but well put. As for the Palestinian remark, I hope they kill everyone in israel. That will probably be the only way to end it.

    Care to explain how an amazon.com based website gets horribly slashdotted? It just amazes me. The only thing I can possibly think of is amazon putting it on a low end server since its in beta. Maybe you could elaborate?

    You have it backwards. We will be invading countries in a few years for spreading "lies" about the Christian Republic of America. Propaganda against our new compasionate conservative leaders and their religious control of the country. That will be enough to go to war.

    We all knew they couldnt fit the whole series in one movie. It should have been a trilogy at least.

    But to remove Milliways, Disaster Area, and prehistoric Earth completely? Thats just horrible. It is not the same story. They have commited murder here. This movie should be renamed.

    The first spoofing tool I used on irc (EFNet) actually did cache poisoning. I know there are the tools that only did the reverse lookup spoofing. But the cache poisoning was done way back when. I believe (and I could be mistaken) that a guy by the name of johan wrote one of the first ones.
