    Actually, that's the exact minimum number of occurences you have to have for 95%. 19 times out of 20. It could be more, but not less.

    Um, no. He said "about 95%" and not "exactly 95%."

    In Windows you can't even tell whats running let alone shut it off. There are many ports that get attached to every interface and no way to fix it.

    You can't tell whats running? This is very easy, actually. Try this:

    To see what ports are currently listening:
    netstat -an

    To see what services are attached to what process:
    tasklist /svc

    To stop a process (until next boot):
    sc stop _service_name_

    To query a state of a process:
    sc query _service_name_

  7. Re:Freedom *of* religion. on Supreme Court Will Hear Pledge of Allegiance Case · · Score: 1

    Please keep in mind that both of you are assuming there is, at some point, a creation. If we are going to have this type of discussion, please keep this in mind: why must there be a single point in time where everything started? Could it be possible, there never was a creation from a creator or a big bang which started this whole process? Could it be possible the universe has always been and always will be? I am not aruging one point or the other... I am only offering the suggestion there may be other options than the ones previously mentioned.

  8. Re:I'm leaving Sprint on FCC Still Pushing for Number Portability on Nov. 24 · · Score: 1

    Just keep in mind that the FCC didn't tell the wireless carriers they have to have number portability for FREE. If you switch, expect to pay a 'number portability' fee. That said, I've been a Verizon member for 5 years now and must say they have the best quality of service and reliability (in the Seattle area) of all available providers. I have friends who have been with every other major carrier and they have ALL ended up at Verizon-- and stayed there. Disclaimer: My brother works for Verizon Wireless, so my opinion may be biased.

  9. Re:It's a zero-sum game. on Computers, Unemployment and Wealth Creation · · Score: 1

    Wrong!

    I doubt you have ever taken an econ class, which would do you a lot of good. Wealth is not zero-sum as you propose. Wealth is constantly created. Have you ever wondered why banks exist? Banks exist to loan money to individuals, which is the process of creating wealth.

    When person A deposits their paycheck, the bank then has the ability to loan a portion of your deposit to person B. Person A does not lose any money-- this person can still make a withdrawal. The result of this transaction is a net increase of wealth in the economy.

    The process is much more complicated than this, and there are a few caveats, but this is just one simple explanation of how wealth is created and disproves wealth is zero-sum, as you suggest.
