  1. Antivirus 2009 on What Free Antivirus Do You Install On Windows? · · Score: 1

    Antivirus 2009 is the best!!!! Just kidding. :-) Security Essentials (home) or Client Forefront (business) highly recommended.

  2. cigarettes on FDA Considers Banning Acetaminophen-Based Pain Killers · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Yet we still allow cigarettes to be legal even though we know for sure that they cause lung cancer.

  3. Call of Duty 4 on What Is Your Game of the Year? · · Score: 1

    COD 4 is hands down the best game of the year. The gameplay is amazing, realism is outstanding, and the storyline is fantastic. If you haven't played it, go out and GET SOME!!!!

  4. DeepFreeze on Bulletproof Tool For Golden Age Browsing? · · Score: 1

    You can use a product like DeepFreeze in combination with some good security policies to basically only allow browsing. Also, with DeepFreeze if they do anything screw up the machine they just have to reboot and it will come back up the way it was initially configured.

  5. There's something wrong here on Apple Now Selling Better Than One Laptop In Six · · Score: 1

    This has to be referring to retail only numbers. I find it hard to believe that apple is selling more laptops than Dell or Lenovo.

  6. WebCT/Blackboard on Vista Trademark Holder Sues Microsoft · · Score: 1

    I believe WebCT/Blackboard were using the Vista name way before either of these companies. Here's a link to their product webpage.

  7. I think this might be wrong on Vista Upgrades Require Presence of Old OS · · Score: 1

    Just to point out...I think this might be wrong. According to the following website, Microsoft states that you will able to do a "clean install" as one of it's upgrade paths.

    http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/windowsv ista/buyorupgrade/upgradepaths.mspx

    I take it this means that you don't have to install 2 operating systems in order to get to Vista from a blank/formatted system. I don't have a copy of the upgrade CD myself so I couldn't test it. Anyone with an upgrade CD want to take a shot at it?

  8. Re:Spotlight metadata on Apple vs Microsoft- Who's the Copycat? · · Score: 1

    Yes, spotlight is sooooo advanced that when you do a restore from a firewire drive you have to make sure that you put the whole apple HD in "do not include in spotlight", because it completely drags the system down indexing all the files if you don't. That doesn't sound advanced to me at all. I want a system that is going to throttle down indexing files when i'm using the computer, and index more when i'm idle. Cy
