XP Home is crippled and can't join a domain, doesn't have directory/file security, etc. No thanks.
If you want security, run Linux. If you want to play games, run XP Home. I don't need Active Directory to play Doom 3, nor do I need filesystem security. XP also boots much faster and is more stable than 2K, as long as you stay away from SP2. 2K was great, but XP is just a little better.
I'm at a school which was just aquired by a larger company, and I have a similar story. We had 4 class C subnets; 3 for students, and 1 staff segment. The new company made us dump it all and go to 1 single class B subnet. We complied and literally counted the minutes until there was a problem.
Everything ground to a halt, nobody could surf the web, access shares, or even get an IP from the DHCP server. After checking about 3 classes we found the problem. About 20 students were running a ghost session before beginning a new course, which was for some reason propagating throughout the campus. I can only imagine what Welchia could do...
Infact up until last year most pc water cooling systems used car radiator and many still do.
The proper term for them is transmission cooler or oil cooler, not radiator. The radiator is to cool the engine coolant, while transmission coolers help cool the fluid in automatic transmissions. I don't see the need for an oil cooler in a car, but they usually come with a filter relocation kit, which is cool (no pun intended).
The Aquarius III is an external model so you don't have to worry about space, plus it saves you from using a 5 1/4" slot by relocating the temperature displays.
The initial install wasn't that bad, but it sure pissed me off when my friend decided to get a new case and we had to drain the system, take it all apart, then reassemble and fill.
Heat pipes still use water as the cooling medium, albeit in thicker pipes and under a slight vacuum. I bought a Thermaltake SilentTower to replace an Alpha PAL 8942 with a Vantec Tornado fan (A.K.A. a vacuum cleaner) and I'm pretty satisfied. It keeps the CPU way cooler than a passive ever could, and I didn't have to go through all the crap like when I built my friend's machine with a Thermaltake Aquarius.
The problem with car LCD displays (and using a TV for a computer display) is the crappy resolution. You'll be lucky to get 640x480 out of those things, but it's more than likely much lower and sometimes interlaced.
My porn looks fine on my cheapo orange, thank you. I'd rather spend a grand or two on something useful, like a vacation or a down payment for a car. Besides, the question was where and what brand monitor is $600, which I answered since I didn't know it was supposed to be Apple.
Try Newegg. I didn't find any 20" monitors, but I found a 19" Sony for $579. The 250GB HD is a little too cheap, but it can probably be found on Pricewatch somewhere.
They are only interested in money and power and they achieve them by using dishonesty as a tool.
From which party did the DMCA sponsors come from? What about the Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act, A.K.A."Mickey Mouse Protection Act"? Do you think these bills became law because a bunch of Democrats just decided to screw everyone over for no reason?
I dislike GWB as much as most Democrats (although I'm an independant), but any Democrat saying that Republicans are money and power hungry is a perfect example of the pot calling the kettle black.
Locking everything down is not an option - we have legitimate power users/developers as well as those who have finagled way too much access for thier needs
Development machines and/or machines with sensitive info should be isolated from the corporate network, either by firewall restrictions, or by epoxy in the ethernet port. You're right, it's not an option; it's mandatory. Guess who's to blame when the the "shit happens?"... YOU.
Same here, in my case I made the mistake of buying the Belkin 4 port, which didn't like DSL. I took it back and replaced the 486 with a P233MMX with 128 MB RAM and I haven't had any problems since. I suppose I could use one of those micro ITX machines if I'm concerned with electrical usage.
i'm on NAT.. i'm not going round opening up ports everytime someone wants to play a LAN game for chrissakes, someone will hopefully tell me an easy way to tell it to ignore LAN stuff?
Control Panel, Network and Internet Connections, Windows Firewall, click the Advanced tab, click Settings next to your connection (usually Local Area Connection), click Add, then fill in the blanks. Most online games will have an advanced menu to see the port it's using and/or change it.
Even though you're behind a NAT router, if you have more than one Windows machine on the LAN you should keep their firewalls on to prevent multiple infections. Multiple layers of security is a good thing.
Screw Office, their first priority should be to port NWAdmin. ConsoleOne is too buggy, bloated, and clumsy, and why for love of Jeebus do they have to have their own JRE for it.
There was also DS9: The Fallen based on the Unreal engine. Three characters and 3 different endings depending on who you played as: Sisko, Kira, or Worf. Too bad it came out after the series ended.
This would actually work, but you'll need to give them basic instructions on fdsisk and Slack's setup. It would work better if you included RedHat or Fedora, but disabled and/or removed all the GUI configuration utilities. I've seen way too many newbies trash a fresh install by (mis)using redhat-*-config, and the programs will happily respond by making the config files unreadable.

Yesterday, AVG Free identified Quake4.exe as a trojan on my machine. I had to disable AVG and run the Quake 4 update to get it running again.
That means 19 million Americans don't have to deal with hangup calls due to fax marketing wardialers.

I usually forget about heater cores until they stop working in the middle of winter.

Computers are like tires, you just have to buy more of the cheap ones.
Plz explain to me what wears out in a computer in a year that requires you replace the entire thing? Case fans? Keyboard?

Maybe they're confusing the natural state of free hydrogen (H2) with deuterium, but I don't think H2 is a molecule.
Deuterium is an isotope of hydrogen, not a molecule.
FP BTW.
It's the metric system. Get used to it.
I think this is the most interesting part:
Comey noted that for the first time in a major corporate fraud case, prosecutors decided to defer prosecution against the corporation itself.
Imagine that, now we finally have people being held accountable for their actions instead of letting them hide behind their corporate shields!

Somethings wrong with this program. It compiled and ran for a while, but all it outputs is "42" ... WTF?
