So basically, you're waiting for a boot sector virus of old. There were a few that did exactly that. Booting off of safe media alone would render the drive unreadable.
Of course, it sounds like you're referring to one running under windows, which means at least part of the filesystem would need to be unencrypted for windows to be able to load and then load the virus drivers (well, unless the virus could somehow place its own load before windows... but I'm not sure how feasible that would be). So otherwise then it would have to deal with seperating the partition somehow, or only encrypt on a file by file basis, or only affect extra partitions. All of those cases are semi-broken compared to complete encryption.
Hmm, let's see... Strangely flavoured coffees.... Mmmm jelly donut, or mmmmm beer? I wonder if either of those would be remotely passable? Ha. Of course, I've heard of mixing beer with coke before. Maybe there is a palatable beer/coffee combination?
Blah, my experience with "industry experience" wasn't an entirely positive. Sure, some of them knew their stuff... the profession/industry anyway. Unfortunately, some of those had no clue whatsoever how to teach, which made for a rather painful experience - not to mention a waste of many students time and money.
Oh, I won't argue that. I had my share of good instructors and my share of useless/incompetent ones as well. There are certainly factors which are valid complaints about it vs a traditional school, but a lot of the complaints I've heard are hardly restricted to instruction at DeVry. Complaints about useless professors, management which keeps them around, instructors' teaching styles or lack thereof, etc etc etc.... I've heard similar from friends who went to University of Calgary. I think a lot of it is just inherent ascpect of schooling in general. That said, I do wish I'd had an experience that was more a mix of DeVry and UofC. The course load at DeVry didn't cover nearly as wide of breadth as I would have liked to have, though I'm sure we spent more time in specific areas.
Heh, after all the whining and mockery against DeVry I heard while a student there (from both internal and external sources), it comes as no surprise to me that someone would try to pre-empt that particular line of discussion.
Not that it really matters either way... I've never understood people's need to trash-talk other people/schools.
I had that exact same problem.... in my case though it was the power supply, and the motherboard. My assumption is that some of the caps in the power supply had blown and couldn't properly store/continue giving a charge after they heated up/whatever - hence the initial fan activity then nothing.
Anyway, I replaced my power supply and that resolved the power problem, but caps on my motherboard started smoking immediately after. Arghhhh...
Hope you have better luck than I:) (My power supply fried itself again 6mo later so I replaced the el-cheapo one with an Enermax and grabbed a cheap APC UPS while I was at it).
Even pre-SP2 had a firewall. Granted it was still virtually useless, but it does block the majority of incoming port related problems. I'm not sure if it's 100%, but most...
Negligent? Granted, some programs will randomly scan for/add directories, but others will require you to choose what directories to share. I guess it depends which type of hub they were. If they specifically chose the directories then I can't see how it could be seen as negligence, since by choosing the directories you are basically saying sticking a sign on them saying "you're welcome to take these".
We just had a ~160 person Alliance raid on the horde on Windrunner the other night, and that's how the lag was but worse. It was pretty much insane. We poured into Ogrammir and it looked almost like nobody was hitting anybody, npc or otherwise. I'm sure some damage was being done, but I ran back and forth by multiple horde npcs/pcs and attacked them, hit once or twice, and didn't get touched.
We actually had enough lag from that many people that on our way over there we managed to kick half of the people out of the server or something. Most of the people had just loaded up onto a Zepplin, and it moved like 5 feet away from dock and poof. I started out a ways back from where I had been, while other people randomly dropped into the ocean/etc. Fun stuff.
Well, I think people are pretty much just complaining to complain as well. I don't doubt some servers have had issues, and my server has been up and down some, but overall it's been pretty good. So many of the other MMORPGs have had stability issues. During the brief time I played FFXI after its NA launch, it seemed to be down every other day for maintenance - that after however long they had to prepare from it running in Japan only.
As far as your 50+ people raid with no lag, that's pretty good. We had a massive 160+ person raid the other night on Windrunner which was an experience quite the opposite of that. Just sitting there by Southshore we were lagged, and once we actually moved and attacked the horde it was lagged like 15-30+ seconds behind and looked more like pinball than anything.
I demand that children be taught the dangers of dihyrogen monoxide! Its effects can be catastrophic! Go here and read for yourself! Spread the word! Only you can help us break the barriers and help inform the populace of this terrible threat....
Of course, as has been mentioned in other comments here somewhere, Comcast Digital Phone Service != Comcast VoIP Phone Service. The digital service is some type of traditional cable based telephone service.
Repeating what he said...
"I built a brand new system and took that drive out and put it into another XP system as a slave....no problems at all."
That's not quite the same thing a "brand new system doesn't like drive". It quit recognizing it after a power failure. I've had drives mysteriously decide to quit working after a reboot/outage like that before myself.
Heh, default installation or not... it's not like the "average" home user would have a clue what it is or why it's there. I still think remove is the best option for the majority of users who wouldn't even have a clue what the program is or why it's there in the first place. It may not be the best for you, or me, but we obviously don't fit in with the group of "average" home users.
Would you prefer that it just ignore and didn't mention them? They *could* be used maliciously, and the program's description for them explains quite clearly that they aren't necessarily a problem. Of course, they could default to ignore rather than remove, but for the majority of the users of the antispyware software, remove is probably the right option.
No idea, but I've seen enough guys like him in online games. On the other hand, I must admit... I actually found that somewhat amusing since I'm on the outside.:P
There is another reason. It adds to the cost a fair bit. Rear windshields are more expensive to replace, but due to their location in the rear they do not need to be replaced nearly as often as the front.
That's the way someone explained it to me, anyway... makes some sense...
Whereas here in Calgary they typically just get a rear picture. The registered owner of the car is fined, but they are unable to demerit anyone's license since it would be a pain to prove who was actually driving. Nice little money maker for the cops.

Indeed. Some geeks nurse a desire, others desire a nurse.... everyone has their own wants and desires!

Out of curiosity, is that Telus DSL or what? I'm still on Shaw at the moment... maybe one of these days I should switch.
Uh, well that's assuming the phones need service to be able to snap a pic.... otherwise, that has nothing to do with this...

Sorry, my mistake... I seem to be sarcasm immune tonight, likely due to lack of sleep. Oh well, what's new, eh?
See IMDB info for the movie here: The Day After Tomorrow
Despite its (relatively) low rating there, and the amount of cgi, I actually rather enjoyed the movie.

It's not directly tied to the main CVS project, but what about TortoiseCVS? Of course, there's a subversion client of the same as well, TortoiseSVN.
Of course, even with the clients in a GUI form, it would still be nice to have a GUI tool for setting up and maintaining repositories as well.
