If you mean automatic transmission fluid, yes, it's a great solvent for the contaminants that plague firearms. Other than that, and I'd finish it off with WD-40.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- White House cybersecurity adviser Howard Schmidt announced his resignation Monday, the second person to leave the post in three months.
Schmidt was the former chief of security at Microsoft Corp. before taking the post in February. He succeeded Richard Clarke, who had spent 11 years in the White House across three administrations, and was the president's counterterror coordinator at the time of the September 11, 2001, attacks.
The White House confirmed Monday that Schmidt would leave at the end of the month to pursue private sector opportunities.
In an e-mail sent to staff and industry officials, Schmidt noted that many of his responsibilities had been transferred to the new Homeland Security Department.
"While significant progress has been made, there still is much to do," Schmidt said in the e-mail. "The nation as a whole is much better at responding to cyberattacks then at any time in the past, but cybersecurity cannot now be reduced to a 'second tier' issue. It is not sufficient to just respond to attacks, but rather proactive measures must also be implemented to reduce vulnerabilities and prevent future attacks."
When Clarke announced his resignation, he also warned of future attacks on the Internet. "As long as we have vulnerabilities in cyberspace, and as long as America has enemies, we are at risk of the two coming together to severely damage our great country," he wrote.
The trade group representing high-technology companies such as Microsoft and Intel said President Bush still needed a high-profile adviser at the White House.
"We are concerned that the cybersecurity issue is losing visibility inside the White House," said Harris Miller, president of the Information Technology Association of America. "In this case, the 'bully pulpit' opportunity to influence the development of a truly secure cyber infrastructure and associated best practices will be lost."
Schmidt failed to return several phone calls seeking comment Monday.
Wouldn't you also agree that for those looking to move from NT4, that they could also see a big ROI if they moved to OSS instead? If yes, why would you try to sell a MS solution here, without mentioning that?
The idea is to load once, use often. With the price of ram, and the inherent stability of OS X, it simply doesn't make sense to dismiss an app once you have it running. I load 10 or more apps, including OO, at start, and leave them running.
You know what they say, if you want a job done fast, give it to a lazy man.
Again, if such a solution existed, it would already be in place. This whiner complained about the amount of work, that clearly comes with the job. He just wants to go home earlier...don't we all. Nothing smart in that.
Working smarter only works if you're actually smarter. While it might be good for a laugh, asking./ hardly qualifies as smart. So, if smarter isn't an option for you, you only have hard work to fall back on.
Try any electronic's manufacturer's product history exhibit. You'll find plenty of one button examples. I only have to take a short walk across the campus. Some of them are so basic it makes you wonder how they ever found a market.
...the 2.0 chip isn't wired. Apple, like other OEM'simply bought boards with dual capability, since 1.0 only boards are no longer available in the quantities that Apple needs at this time. It takes another step to enable 2.0 circuitry, and that step has not been taken by Apple at this time.
The 2.0 drivers are already in the OS, so anyone that thinks they can buy a new Mac, add drivers, and have 2.0 is a bit of a chump.
So, where is the smart in shopping for a solution, while the work piles up? What proof is there someone hasn't already tried that route? I don't see any evidence he's head-down, butt-up in the meantime. It looks to me like he's just whineing for help.
Perhaps you missed the unit in school where they covered this part. Where does it say that off the shelf is ever a first choice, over something called blood, sweat and, well you know the rest.
...is to eventually reduce the cables and setup required. We will soon have buttonless TV's and displays, that auto-configure, and except for a few controls on a remote or keyboard, they will not need any interaction to operate properly.
This brings us full circle, back to when the first displays had nothing but an on switch.
Sony announced their new line of digital video cameras today, which include a system developed to modulate flicker or other patterns that would ordinarily be picked up by recording devices.
Nail on the head.... I got half way thru the thing and wanted to tell him to get a room already...
Too bad an otherwise positive review got lost in a fan-boy parade.
I think it was the contrast between nutshell and 600+ pages that threw me first...then the full-frontal fandom sunk in and I signed off an any credibility.
Oh well, one man's Grey Poupon, another man's Shoe-Goo.
Do you use QuickTime...are you giving $$ to PBS? <BR> <BR> This email is to discuss a recent decision by NPR, which I note on it's website says "In partnership with PBS".
NPR.org has announced* it will stop using QuickTime for online/audio, in favor of an apparent Microsoft-only solution.
As a past supporter to PBS in my hometown, Sacramento, I find it less than 'public' for an otherwise public resource such as NPR to adopt what I feel is a restrictive posture towards their online community.
I also notice that the PBS website still supports QuickTime as a available format for viewing video online. I would like to believe that if PBS can continue to support more than one choice of online video, NPR would be able to follow suit.
If PBS/NPR is going to request financial support from the community at large, it should perhaps consider those funds come from people with various choices that not only apply to politics, etc, but to information access methods as well. If I felt that PBS/NPR was only going to support a Microsoft environment in the future, I would be less apt to provide financial support....and I'm sure others will be thinking along similar lines.
I've tracked it down to either someone inside the bank/credit card company that is skimming off numbers, or Hertz Rental Cars. More than that and I start seeing black helicopters...it's a drag, actually. If I didn't need c'cards to travel, I'd not have them, that much I know.
I'm more concerned over the rash of unauthorized charges on one of my credit cards over the last two weeks...
I'm seeing an unabated string of charges that appear to be 'internet phone' related. $30 here....$50 there.
I had one c'card number discontinued last Dec., over a string of eBay charges I didn't make, and now this. Anything that can help control this kind of abuse is ok by me...at least for now.

.....like the finance dept. in MS HQ?

Oh...so this isn't actually about software. I get it, thanks.
....what's the big deal?

easier to flag as a troll than it is to respond, right? Must be lazy sunday. I must have had a valid point after all.

...to the real world.
Perhaps you missed the unit in school where they covered this part. Where does it say that off the shelf is ever a first choice, over something called blood, sweat and, well you know the rest.
The rumor is, it's something called **work**.

He might have changed his mind several times along the way, and we'd all be living inside a soap bubble right now.

You're right, of course. Thanks...hehehe
