    However, Barack Obama voted in favor of the crappy bill that http://getfisaright.net/ is decrying.

    you said: "Since both HD-DVD and Blueray streams have maximum bitrates of 18Mbps"

    This is not true. The maximum bitrates are as followed:

    Maximum bitrate for:

                       Blu-ray       HD-DVD        DVD
    Raw data transfer  53.95 Mbit/s  36.55 Mbit/s  11.08 Mbit/s

  5. unfortunately, it doesn't remove all traces on Rootkit-like Feature Found in Norton Systemworks · · Score: 1

    According to the page you linked to (http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/nav.nsf/doci d/2001092114452606) the "removal" tool, rnav2003.exe does not remove everything:

    "Rnav2003.exe does not remove the following items:

            * The files or registry keys for the virus definitions
            * Subscription information
            * Entries in Windows Scheduled Tasks
            * Other shared files"

    Go through the manual removal instructions on that page to remove what rnav2003.exe does not get.

    Also, if you want to "[r]emove Norton AntiVirus 2005/2004 installed as a stand-alone product or as a part of Norton SystemWorks 2005/2004 or Norton Internet Security 2005/2004" "[f]ollow the instructions in [r]emoving your Norton program using SymNRT to remove these program versions":

    http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsgeninfo.nsf /docid/2005033108162039

    There, you will also find a .reg file to clean out your registry.

    In addition to the .reg file in the above link, perhaps their most useful removal instructions can be found here:

    http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsgeninfo.nsf /docid/2004110113064039

    Among several things, they link to Microsoft's Windows Installer CleanUp utility (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb ;en-us;290301) which is extremely helpful in removing programs that used the Microsoft Windows Installer.

  6. Re:Easy...... on Your Thoughts on the Great Ozone Debate? · · Score: 1

    Where do you get your information? Considering the ozone layer wasn't even discovered until 1957 (by Professor Gordon Dobson of Oxford University, where the term Dobson Units comes from), I don't see how the South African Weather Service noticed a hole in an as-of-then-undiscovered ozone layer.

    The South African Weather Service has only been measuring ozone levels from 1964 to 1972 and then again from 1989 to the present.

  10. anyone filling the "void"? on IE Vulnerabilities Page Removed · · Score: 1

    It shouldn't take much effort to pick up where PivX left off.

    To make it even better, the known security vulnerabilities of other browsers could be added for comparison and quick review for those (mostly everyone) who don't have the time/inclination to scour the web looking for all the disparate info on browser insecurities...

    ...or perhaps this already exists & I'm not finding it?

    For those who still use IE, you have can check your browser for security vulnerabilities here, http://browsercheck.qualys.com/, though I don't use IE & cannot vouch for the effectiveness of their scanning/detection.

    So, who's gonna step into PivX's shoes?
