I leave my SW firewall always to prompt me when iexplore tries to access the net (FF is my main browser). If this pops up at any time other than JUST AFTER i've told IE to load a website, it doesn't get access.
Does anyone know of an application for Windows (or Linux, even) that can monitor the network utilization of each process running on the system? Many a time I've wanted to know this as I've had Task Manager reporting a constant 25% utilization that looks suspiciously like a spam zombie in action, but *I can't tell what the hell is causing it*!!!
Yes, I know about netstat, and ntop, but neither do quite what I want. netstat doesn't tell you how much bandwidth things are using, and ntop only gives you port numbers, not a mapping between process and network utilization.
It amazes me that people take for granted that you'll be able to monitor exact CPU usage of each process via top or Task Manager, but you don't have the same thing for network utilization. Why? This would be a very useful thing to have. If OS kernels don't have the monitoring functionality currently build in, it should be added. These days, network utilization is almost as important as CPU utilization in many systems.
Scrotal cupholder? You sound like you're actually dropping your penis inside the urinal... why on Earth are you doing this? I've never seen anyone accidentally touch a urinal, you aim from a distance. Sounds like you need to learn how to use one.
Actually, I suspect the reason the French and the like need a bidet is because of the bizarre 'shit plinth' design of European toilets, which seems like a much more messy affair than UK/US toilets with water in the bowl. They should really make their toilet design more sensible, but noo... nous etes Francais!!!

Makes you wonder why they bother with all the added hassle of machine voting at all, really.
Slashdot's code breaks up long strings of plain text characters to stop the page from scrolling too much horizontally. Because you posted that URL as plain text and not an HTML link, it broke it up.
It hasn't happened as much yet but soon I expect to go somewhere and see Google ads with very interesting (to me) titles. Then, I'll click and spend time on it and make me feel like I need to buy this or that.
I'm sorry, but that sounds really stupid. What are you saying exactly? You're scared that you're too weak to resist buying something if they market it to you really well, and it's really appropriate for you? Therefore you don't want them to advertise? You're in control of your buying decisions; you can't go saying that others can't try to influence you in a free society.
Should the law say that the consumer has bought both the physical copy, and the right to convert that copy to other media so they may preserve the copy for posterity, for their own use?
I think it should, do you? We know what the MPAA et al think.
Out of interest, what make do you use now? I always build my own PCs and am looking to recommend something to my brother. In particular, who make good laptops?
Your buddy sends a YouTube link to a funny music vid. You play the video a few times, and the song gets stuck in your head. There is now a much greater chance that you'll go out and buy the album that the song is on.
Either that or you: 1) Download the video permanently and never buy the album. 2) (if you're an 'average' user) Get confused as to why you're allowed to download the music video, for free, online, but not allowed to download the music sans video, for free, online.
Strange. I far prefer to listen to music that's been recorded professionally in a recording studio. Never can understand why people want to get recordings of concerts. Oh well, guess that's because I've never been a really zealous fan of any artist.
I do wonder though if any of this open source love is being pushed by the BBC?
Where do you get the idea that the BBC like opensource more than anyone else? Do you think that just because most of their funding is from a licence fee, they're going to like Linux more or something?
We orbit not the Sun, but the center of mass of the Solar system, which is actually outside the Sun itself.
Well, I think that's a slightly weaker point because the Sun is just obviously so dominant in this system. However, aren't we ALL orbiting that supermassive black hole in the centre of the galaxy? And maybe the galaxy is orbiting something. Aren't we orbiting more than 1 thing anyway? Which centre of gravity do you use in this definition? (obviously the Sun's, probably for practical reasons)
Culture and science have always meant something different when they use the word planet
Euhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.... can't say I really agree with this. AFAIK, the two meant exactly the same with the traditional 9. It's only with this new definition that there's likely to be a split, which mightn't necessarily be a good thing.
Sure, on linux it's useless, there are better ways to screengrab. But for windows print screen then paste into MS Paint/whatever is sadly the best you can do without messing around installing a utility.
Heh, it's better than Linux comes up with. As you said, you can't do this in Linux - how exactly can you screengrab? Having a daemon running by default that responds to printscreen seems lightyears ahead of what most Linux distroes come with, I'm afraid.

So, yeah, I'm unhealthy -- but it's not my fault
I don't wish to be mean, but if this is caused by a lousy diet, surely it is.

You missed "due to" [...] Please turn in your grammar Nazi swastika.
And 'due to' should be 'owing to', anyway. Ditto.

No need for the hyphen. HTH. HAND.
Agreed. Unless it's Madonna; then I don't even wanna pay the artist.

Yeah but this is for my brother so we won't be building it. :-) We just wanna buy one from a manufacturer, and I was thinking IBM too actually.
OK, so here's the question:

Huh?? I didn't think they were. Could you give me some evidence of that? This link seems to suggest that they're not.

Quite. Joxer is far more appropriate.

Hell, I live in a country that's still getting used to the idea of "evolution" almost 150 years later.
