I just formatted and installed XP SP3 on a machine running an Intel 2.4Ghz CPU (Northwood and non-HT). I've noticed that installing applications take about four times as long after having installed this program. The culprit seems to be a running process "MsMpEng.exe" pushing CPU utilization to a total of 100%. I did not have Windows Defender installed, but it's interesting to note this is the same file that it uses too. I'm guessing Microsoft Security Essentials is a close cousin to Windows Defender code which would explain a lot.
Other than that, it seems to stay out of the way under general computing. But for those looking to do a format/reinstall of Windows, I recommend installing this program AFTER you get finished with everything else on your to-do install list.
At least if that were to happen, the rest of us might finally get some peace and quiet....and not be able to look into the mirror again.
While their actions are none of our business, what does extermination say about humanity in general? Such as dark day is a black mark on us all. I'm sorry, but I cannot take solace in such an event. I truly hope I'm not in the minority in this thinking.
Exactly. Now, what can we (American citizens) do to help make American more of a friendly environment to do business in again? The answer should be fairly obvious.
Hint: Educate yourself on future candidates prior to the next election cycle.
Unfortunately there are many people that are either too ignorant or lazy to estimate life-time costs of running an appliance and/or they're total idiots and believe conservative talk show hosts rather than the overwhelming majority of climate scientists concerning global warming.
I listen to talk radio. And you want to know what I think? FUCK GLOBAL WARMING!!! Seriously. With unemployment rate as high as it is and the rampant corruption in politics, GW is the least of our problems.
Let the Earth burn for all I care. Just DO NOT TREAD ON ME fuckers!
Texas is basically the worst state in the nation for speeding tickets.
I can't vouch to it being the worst, but it's certainly bad.
When I lived in Austin for about five years, I've learned to drive under the speed limit when going under a bridge. Those patrol bikes love to camp out under underneath them in the shadows and behind foliage. I've also had a few tail me for about 10 miles (from the HW all the way through many residential streets) just waiting for me to screw up somehow.
Houston is more forgiving per say, but just as sneaky. Just remember when driving in Houston, always slow down when at an incline. The cops camp out on the other side at the decline. By the time you spot them, you will not have the reaction time to slow down and thus it will be too late. Perhaps this is the same in most cities, but these guys in H-Town are good. Damn good!
Just remember. Outrageous results require outrageous actions. It's all in where you move the sliding scale that can be deemed acceptable to most people.
Because of ambiguity of trying to define life, I look at this issue from a different angle. A moral one if you will.
The way I see it, I ask "what is the reason for the abortion?". Are we talking about a birth defect of such severity (IE living would be torturous) that it would be more humane to end its life. Or, are we talking about vanity or the fact the pregnancy is not at a "convenient time"? Clearly, one reason is moral while the other is not.
Yes, I'm a "ditto head" for sure. But only because I love his radio show. Not because I agree 100% with what he says or what he believes. However, his radio show is factually more informative than what any other political pundit on radio has to offer.
What was embarrassing though was that I link to a page for members only. I do apologize though. I thought that link was available to the general public (non-subscribers).
Yes, you would be correct. The Democrat party is all about silencing the opposition. In fact, it was only a few days ago that the House of Reps had formally banned what could and could not be said in the chambers.
The CIA folks should get to join the telcom CEOs in jail. Just because your boss told you to do something illegal does not make it right nor legal.
The point here is that the Government previously said it was legal. Then after the fact, pull the rug out from underneath organizations in order to prosecute them.
Given that that it's congress that creates and changes law (judicial branch interprets them), I say the Nuremberg example doesn't apply. If it does, then we should never...EVER...trust the government now or in the future to infinity.
A perfect example is Chinese Medicine. Using herbs and other techniques were refined over the ages through a slow (very slow) process of trial and error. So, about 100 years ago, Chinese Medicine would have been rather effective. However, no one understood the physics and/or biology as to WHY they were effective.
Another example were the ancient Japanese blacksmiths. Sure, they developed over a period of time a process to forge Samurai swords of unparalleled strength and quality for its time. I guarantee you however that none of those involved knew anything about molecular bonds, structure and crystal lattices that make up modern day metallurgy. Again, just good old-fashioned trial and error. No further explanation was required.
SoC manufacturers like Freescale have partnered with Adobe to ship custom versions of Flash that take advantage of the extra hardware on the chip for exactly this.
So when Flash player 11 is released sometime in the future, which version does the Flash updater get? The generic or one for custom hardware?
It's rather a moot point IMHO. Flash interfaces with DirectX. So if you have proper hardware and drivers, Flash will get an accelerated boost anyways. So why bother with custom Flash compilations? Is the performance improvement over DirectX really that substantial?
Agreed. If a CxO can't protect themselves (drive encryption, backups...etc), they will have to *trust* someone at least that can. Also, you can't become a Fortune 500 company unless there is some level of relational trust already in place.
If they were to actually carry this item as political speech, it would be wise to alert the police that you are doing so _before_ you start marching around with a fake gun. Otherwise, you are _very_ likely to be looking down the barrel of a very real gun.
What do you mean "Otherwise"?
If you attended a political rally hosting the POTUS there with *anything* that looked like a 50 cal sniper rifle; your head would be instant pumpkin-chunkins!!!

Dear Slashdot.
Has the glory gone out of being a Slave? When did the lashes go from pleasure to pain?
Nothing will happen to stop them. The UN is full of pussies!!!
Sorry folks. That's just the God damned fact. Suck it up!
The only theory I can come up with is that the motion is too great, and the camera's processor is unable to keep up with the increased bitrate?
Perhaps.
The flash memory write speed could also be the bottle-neck that's causing buffer overflows during a high bitrate transfer.
You did end up paying the bill, right?
We've got to figure out how to turn this stuff into biodiesel.
And while were at it, let's rename this weed to Tiberium.
At least if that were to happen, the rest of us might finally get some peace and quiet. ...and not be able to look into the mirror again.

For those that survive an episode of Global Thermonuclear Warfare, such old customs and skills might be useful again.
Some would argue that mankind is evil, so it's best to prepare for the medieval.

Cool.
So when can we prosecute those perform abortions?
that inexplicably has more power than many congress people and no accountability at all.
Thank you for pointing out your disdain for the 1st amendment.
I hope you get modded up for the simple fact I wish your post be illuminated for all to see.

Oops. Sorry.
BS! The Democrat Party is hardly democratic at all. In fact, I argue the Republican party is more democratic.
Yes, you would be correct. The Democrat party is all about silencing the opposition. In fact, it was only a few days ago that the House of Reps had formally banned what could and could not be said in the chambers.

And the worst is that high-pitch scream from a 2 year old. It almost resonates perfectly against the human ear drum enough to make it BLEED!!!!
I suspect it's because 2 year old children are curious enough to get into some serious danger. Hence, the need to scream the dead awake.

And if you agree to install AntiVirus Pro 2009 it doesn't count as spyware either?
That's no spyware as it's far worse! It's a master control program that floods your computer with viri from other unknown sources. Pure evil!
