AVG Antivirus http://www.grisoft.com Is a free (depending on your country of residence)windows based AV that does not use any spyware and has free updates. It has saved my neck quite a few times. I highly recommend it to anyone who doesn't currently have any protection. So far it appears to have mostly the same features as others such as Norton AV.
I turn HTML off in (gasp) Outlook express, and do a view source before looking at any unknown e-mail and find that they all are loaded with comment tags to break up the text so it makes it harder to filter works. So an e-mail might be like Th<!--7nzy172ft2g9ms-->at W<!--o78l9p37i8q-->an<!--vft4hc2nd6fk-->t S<!--15jjw11kvzakp1-->e<!--waeto62cb9w-->x<!--xo7i i53dx5--><!--k7r5me2prx4w-->
I set OE to junk any e-mail with <!-- in it but it doesn't seem to catch them because it isn't an exact match.
What kid wouldn't want to be hung like a stallion before reaching middle school?
Seriously I've wondered about this for a long time. I have a normal hotmail account that I use mostly that I don't give out that gets pr0n mail constantly, and a yahoo account that I use for junkmail that never gets pr0n mail but gets nearly 100 e-mails a day for other spam.
It all comes down to that. Marketing people are not accountants or financial analysts. Their job is to oversell everything. Then the legal department has to come in and put disclaimers all over the press releases.
What always got me is how could I get so much spam from ***@hotmail.com. I mean isn't it obvious to MS that bob@hotmail.com that originates from a non-microsoft IP is obviously spam? This has been years! Even if they forged the originating IP, there should be no inbound SMTP to hotmail from hotmail. All of it is internal.
Indirectly, I've gotten my SUN GDM 20D10 monitor working (which was given to me for free from a former employer). I figured if I can't get the picture to stop rolling and only working on 1/2 the screen, I'll gut it and do something like this. I had previously disassembled it so I put it back together, connected it to my Sparc Classic, same rolling screen. So I spent about 20 minutes reading old usenet threads on this model and I walked around to the front and just as I did that, the screen started expanding to the edges, the keystone went away and the rolling stopped. Now it works perfectly. (I could have swore I left it on for a period of time before and it didn't help). So thanks to the submitter and author for getting me motivated and my free 20" CRT working.
Do you wave a pass card at the door at work? That's RFID. Do you drive through the quick lane at the toll booth? More RFID. I used to pay at the pump with my key chain. I cut it open after I cancelled the card and found a TI Tiris RFID tube inside. Similar to what they inject into a dog's neck so they can find it if lost. The one used in the Mobil SpeedPass that I had is the one on the right in this picture: TI Tiris
Actual size is about 2cm and about 4mm in diameter.
I have an espresso machine, (cheap one by Mr Coffee). It doesn't seem to build up a lot of pressure so I use drip ground coffee unless I want to wait 15 minutes for it to squeeze out some juice on an espresso grind. Fill the chamber with coffee grounds and pour about 1 to 1.25 cups of water in the top. (The decanter cracked a while ago so I have to guesstimate) So that equals 4 to 5 2oz. espressos I suppose. I pour the coffee liquid into a 32oz cup, add 2 packets of sweet and low, and enough milk to get it to a drinkable temp. I have no idea the amount of caffeine that I get out of this, but I usually drink about 2 of these a day. On occasion if I've got a bit of heart burn, I'll add a 1/4 tsp of baking soda to it to neutralize the acid in the coffee. It actually fizzles. It doesn't really affect the taste. If I need to get work done and I'm not near a coffee machine, I keep a tin of Penguin Mints with me and pop a few each hour or so.
25 cups???? 8 hour workday. 25/8=~3/hour
I had a professor who literally drank 24 cups of coffee per day. University workdays are 12-16 hours rather than 8, so this would make 1.5-2 cups per hour. Every time he walked through the lab he had a fresh cup of coffee in his hand, so I can believe it.
Conversations tended to go at the pace of cattle auctions, which was kind of fun, but when he got to age 65 or so he had to cut down to 8 cups per day because his caffeine jitters got in the way of aligning the molecular beam systems.
Does Scotch have caffeine in it? I hope not, I wouldn't want to cause any permanent damage to my body.
This is the first monitor/TV of this size that Iâ(TM)ve worked on, which sports DVI and not RGB. The upshot is that youâ(TM)re getting better quality; the downside is that itâ(TM)s tagging a couple hundred dollars onto the final price.
Removing RGB means no need for a DAC chip to convert the analog signals into digital for the LCD. Since DVI can communicate directly with the screen basically. Wouldn't that make it cheaper?
I'd kinda like multiple kernels to choose from during the install. For example if you put freebsd on a laptop, you need to build an "old card" kernel for systems without cardbus controllers. This took me quite a while to figure out.
The other day I got an "e-mail" from Slobodan Milosovich's wife but with the same style wording as the Nigerian e-mails. She was saying that she needed access to her husband's money which was locked in an account.
Ok all things considered, would you really feel right with his money considering the things he did?
Maybe George W. should buy it and write "Saddamz aircraft carria" on it. That should convince the few unpatriotic people who still doubt the justification for attacking Iraq.
Fill a baloon with Hydrogen and light it. You get a nice, fast, fluffy flame. Fill a baloon with 2 parts Hydrogen and 1 part Oxygen and light it and your neighbors will be calling the police, because they'll think you just set off a stick of dynomite.
Now, not many people worry about the tank of propane that is attached to their grill. There isn't any oxygen inside that tank, so it is perfectly stable.
For those who cite the Hindenburg as a hydrogen failure, do some reading on further scientific investigations. The outer cloth was covered in a explosively flamable chemical which ignited before the hydrogen was an issue.
Canada confuses me some times. They are pretty much "as free" as the US yet certain things like TV and signs are strictly regulated. I know they have to cater to their French speaking citizens, but the US deals with it differently. Yes there are a high number of Mexican-Americans (as an example) in the southern US, but we don't "require" native language TV broadcasts, advertisements or dual language 1-800 numbers. However being the capitalist pigs that we are, we found out that if you don't do these things, you loose out on getting the attention of people who just like caucasians, have money to spend.
As far as Canadian content, IIRC, shows like X-Files, Andromeda and quite a few others are filmed in BC. Sometimes it is cheaper to build New York city inside Vancouver than to halt New York for 10 minutes to film Scully chasing an alien in a pickup truck.
Think of all of the friends and family that you know that bought a computer during the interet craze. Most of those had Windows 98 on them. Now think of how many of them ever bothered to upgrade their browsers. Many websites that deal with secure communications to non tech savvy people have to deal with this. At least now they can say "Oh, you need IE 5.5 or greater" and link them to a download site. Now they are going to back you into a corner and say "You need Windows 2008 or greater" or they are just going to stop developing past IE6. Either way, it is a strange move on MS's behalf. They must be underestimating Netscape / Moz's abilities. I wonder some times why there are sites complain that you need IE6 to view them, yet they work fine in Mozilla if you hack the response to mimic IE6. Lazy people I guess.

Brodcast signals are the only way you can watch TV without someone somewhere keeping track of what you watch.
:)
You've obviously never heard of the British TV police.
I don't simulate the Earth, I stimulate it, oooh yeah.
:)
Not bad for an AC!
Earth Simulator... Hmmm. Reminds me of the Matrix. But I can do one better. I don't simulate earth, I live it!
New worst job: chicken masturbator
I guess it would be similar to this: http://store.yahoo.com/floridagen/noname2.html

I was an MRI tech for 4 years, so golly I have special experience here.
I'm just curious, what are the benefits of MRI vs PET or PET vs MRI? Would metal inside someone conduct positrons with a PET scanner?
The thickness of the base of the glass could affect the ability to cool it. Also charging batteries generate heat.

Scully or the alien who is in the pickup truck?
You know, that is a good question. I don't know either!
Maybe George W. should buy it and write "Saddamz aircraft carria" on it. That should convince the few unpatriotic people who still doubt the justification for attacking Iraq.
Since when does George W. talk like a Kennedy?

Someone already thought of this joke.

Shouldn't that say "Country of Canada"?
