That's why I use Antivir. I see it catch all kinds of things norton and macafee don't notice give one whit about on my XP boxen. I stopped buying U.S. antivirus software for Wintel boxes the moment I found out about the Norton / Magic Lantern backdoor.
I mainly use Macs now, since I feel they have far better security options, and keep XP in my Parallels VM. Not perfect, but little snitch and the mac firewall makes me happy.
I've had FIOS for about 6 months now and couldn't be happier with it. I have a linksys and a airport strung off it as wi-fi extenders and everything works greats. It sure beats road-runner speedwise.
I can't name many episodes of Futurama I love but skip... I have a dog or two, and to me they're people and just like my kids. I cry at the end of this episode everytime, and I can't think of many things that make me cry on television. It's a wonderful episode.
ALL HAIL THE HYPN0T0DE!
Aye, you're right there laddie. The Finder's networking issues are really annoying. Why do I need to wait a minute to get a "Disconnect" dialog for network share, dare I move out of range of my wireless without remembering to un mount the share... This is on a dual-processor macbook pro with 2gb of RAM.
ZFS would be great, but how about getting the finder done right first.
Mace Wendu: I don't want no muthafrakking metal bita coming at my muthafrakking eyes! I will not be some blind-ass Stevie Wonder jedi....and this the JEDI adopted OSHA standards.
It is a time of great eye protection in the republic.
Eyeprotection worn by leading scientists without the force powers to deflect metal bits from their eyes.
They found the lightsaber: Was developed from an ancient bread-slicer / toaster. Contains 1.21 gigawats of power between recharge of it's flux capacitors. Ranges from 350F to 50000F (battery life may suffer from extended operation, and overheating may occur at high temperatures. Still makes a tasty grilled cheese sandwich in a pinch. It was a dark time in the Republic. Mainly because light sabers are really, really bright at high temperatures. So bright as to be blinding. Hence the recall......... *sigh* and so the 100th episode of the Star Wars series aired... in gravity distorting 3-D. 1138 left to go.
Much as I love Douglas Adams, and use 42 wherever I can sneak it in.
The whole 42 is not prime thing is baking my noodle though.
is it the exception the proves the rule or something?
Something just doesn't seem right, but then, well... that is the way things are supposed to be./Get me BC headache powder, STAT!
Sure, when it was Giant, before the great Bill issued his "Buy 'em out boys!" directive and it has gone downhill ever since. Not that I mind personally, as all my main machines are Macs now. I don't want to spend my life running Spybot, Ad-Aware, and MS-antispyware just to get the machine back to normal. At $85 and hour it's not so bad, but these days I trust Spybot and ad-aware pro far more than MS's offering. Just the other day they caught about 35 spy/ad/bug/scumware products that the MS product just merrily ignore. It's obvious they're going the IE route with it and just barely keeping in alive with Terry Schaivo class developers hooked to tubes of Mountain Dew to keep them twitching for the execs.
I think Bill is really behind. Apple is already past the white thing into the brushed aluminium thing.
This thing looks like nice generic white box micro PC copying the Mac Mini. No HD, PPC chip, I really have no idea what MS is thinking with the NextBoX at this point. It seems like an attempt to go all new media swiss army wonderbox, with gaming as the fall back position if the whole media thing doesn't work out. I know the dev kit on these is Mac Based, so I would like to see OS-X on one just for kicks....
Bravo.
My teenage clumsyness got me started. It may not have been buidling a computer from used pinball machine parts, but everyone has to start somewhere.
My first hack was soldering a long ribbon cable onto the TI-99/5a motherboard so have keyboard seperate from the computer/PEB nightmare. (If you bumped at all, it would freeze.
^ I'd mod you up if I had the points. Shuttles have always been near the bottom of my components list. If price was the only consideration they beat buying them an e-machine in terms of quality. If you get a good shuttleboard you're fine, but when they're having a flakey bout you can easily go thru 2-3 in a row that mostly work for a while. It's the kind of time eater I can't deal with and make money.
I can point at a few working fusion reactions you can see tonight. You might call them stars. They seem to be quite stable in the long term too. We know fusion is possible, we just haven't gotten the details of private, home use down yet.
Can you point me to a working Zero Point Energry reactor that's not on StarGate? ZPE is a nice theory, but that's all it is. Fusion is a fact. I'm willing to bet I'll be putting my trash into a Mr. Fusion 100 years perform ZPE powers an bright-blue LED.

When we say less is more, we mean less is more. It's XP with less for the poor. Doubleplus good application three makes XP the OS you need. You have less so you don't need more.
Don't tweak the registry, you filthy whore!
I understood they choose 88 because it looks a lot like BB. BB=Buckaroo Banzi, the first movie they made. BTTF had a lot of Banzi references, including the Flux Capicator standing in for BB's Oscolation Overthruster and Christopher Lloyd.
FWIW, I just bought a Mac laptop instead of a Dell of education and it was $150 CHEAPER... The lemmings thing is the problem. People fear and shun what they do not understand.
I saw Episode 2 in DLP and it was ok, but there was noticable pixelation, especially during the text crawl @ the start. BOO! It's a nice try, but I want 3072x2048 out of the moviegoing experience for crissakes.
I did like the fact that the theatre was quiet. No fwww...fww....fww... of the projector, and it was a good crowd of Warsies type folks since it's the bestest tech according to Lucas.
In other news I will see Matrix Reloaded in both formats and it will not suck.

ATTACK OF THE 50 FOOT iPhone! /Wonder if it's price will drop by almost half in a month.
It would have me if it were holographic.

Gotta give Stubbs the Zombie Props for a game that I can just turn on and eat some brains....
Mmmm...brains...
All that work and he could have just asked Weird Al.

Doesn't everyone have a .wav of the standard windows 2000 startup sound @ the ready. I've amazed many a RR tech with how fast my machine "reboots".
No Sir, I don't like it.

It's Microsoft's pockets that worry me. Why compete when you can buy!
The problem is Choice... of Matrix quips. Whoa.
