#1 TuffTEST pro is a cheap, bootable, hardware-only diagnostic. It supports all current x86 processors. It does not work on top of DOS or Windows or anything, so it's convenient for eliminating the hardware as a problem. Works great, I use it all the time. As a side note, if you use it on Dell machines, Dell seems to have an internal loopback on the serial and parallel ports. It will report the ports are OK even if they're not.

And how exactly do you think something of this scale is possible without national ID cards or electronic voting? Without these two things in the scheme, the box gets filled with anonymous trolls, or the suggestions fall on deaf ears.
How about no, Scott.

What the government already does online is good enough. You can renew your tabs online, file your taxes, and download forms, and probably a few more things. Anything beyond that will involve national ID cards, electronic voting, and everything else that you could possibly not want. Do you really want to trust the government to put your life online? Haven't you looked at the laws that have been passed lately? Does it make you think they have a clue yet? How about in 50 years? Somehow I don't think I'd even trust them then. But then again, by then it will be inevitable. They will be too tempted to use this power to ignore it. So I guess it's a good thing then, being that it's inevitable and all.
Hey! If you want to buy music but don't want to give the RIAA any money, go to one of those used CD stores. The RIAA hates them more than they hate you, because RIAA can't do anything about them... They're 100% legal! As an added bonus, you don't have to feel the slightest bit guilty or worry at all about being sent to a federal, p2p-me-in-the-ass prison.
Do not assume that just because it is "natural" then it is inherently safe. After all, asbestos is a natural mineral mined from the ground. It is dangerous in it's natural form and needs no processing at all. And it's particles are microscopic in size. Perhaps nanotechnology is non-toxic, but the "natural" argument holds no water.
I had a user that called me because he actually got a copy of SoBig in his inbox. Usually our mail scanners are really good at filtering out even the newest viruses. What I didn't realize is that our AutoUpdate had failed that day, so it didn't have the SoBig update. So I asked him, "Well how the heck did you get SoBig?" and he answered, "From eating so many sandwiches."
Well gee, SCO could have just as easily hung a thick sheet in front of the screen and said, "Behind this sheet lies the lines of code we claim are infringing. Don't lift the sheet!" And then anyone who lifts the sheet and takes a picture gets slapped with a DMCA violation!:P
What I want to see more than anything else is a utility that will turn the Windows key off for a while, and in the future I would like to see ALL games disable this button during play. The only time the Windows key annoys me is when I'm playing a game and it brings me back to desktop, where meanwhile I'm dying inside the game with no control.
Try VDMSound. Despite its name, it emulates more than just sound, making it possible to play quite a few otherwise unplayable games under 2000 or XP. It only works with these two flavors of Windows, though. And it does not fix the problem with old Sierra games and processors over 500 MHz.
I think Microsoft purchased a SCO license purely to feed the fire. A large company like Microsoft purchasing a SCO license will make their claims seem more valid in the public eye. It's more of a PR move than anything else.
To be fair, Lotus has taken great strides toward making their software easier to use. The differences between versions 5 and 6 are astronomical. If you haven't already, download the demo at notes.net
You really don't need MisterHouse to do that. That's an unnecessary level of complexity. What you want to do is "zone" your house using programmable thermostats hooked directly up to a water pump controlling that zone. Set your daily program once on each thermostat, and forget about it. A good programmable thermostat is about $20 at Menards. Unless you want to program your thermostat over the Internet while you're away, that's all you need.
This was ours..all of this..before they took it and raped it and bastardized it. This was our geekly little hobby and now I'm ashamed of it. I question if it's even worth fighting for.
It's been quite I while since I have read something that struck me so deeply. Congratulations. That is exactly how I feel too. You are not alone.
So how do you propose we make a handheld with a 17" display? Seems mutually exclusive to me, unless you build in a projector and carry around a 17" flat white surface to guarantee you have an acceptable surface to work with. Or maybe you could pull a roll-up OLED display out of the bottom like one of those old style spring-loaded window shades. Perhaps if they can fix the splitting-headache problem with LCD glasses, you could build the handheld into that, as long as you don't mind the hot processor burning "AMD" into your forehead.

Wow, I was expecting a negative response for such an obvious comment, but that's what I really wanted to know. Thanks, Psychic AC!
With a name like "Brokenboring", I'm not sure I'm all that excited to try it.

So what about people who type in all caps? Should they be instructed to HOLD DOWN SHIFT WHEN THEY TYPE spam?
Ok, but no spoilers please, I'm still waiting for the LaserDisc version.
If you like Gator's features but hate the spyware part, why not try RoboForm? It's probably less likely to crash your system anyway.
Sure, they have paperless toilets. It's called a bidei.

If it seems like it might be a problem, you're at least a candidate for a C&D Letter. Never underestimate the chilling effect.

No thanks, I'll wait for the Bluetooth version.
What do you mean "do you really need to?" How can you justify the value of your "loved ones" with a dollar figure? :P
At first I thought you said it was her uterus roaring... Because how could you not laugh at that?
You mean like, using one of these?
