My landlord owns the movie theater here.. I live upstairs from it. He's a pretty cool guy; lets us bring beers down and run the projectors after closing on the weekends.
While there is no pausing or rewinding, you just can't beat the screen size and sound system.
My roomate has had Aurora installed on his system for about 2 weeks now, I just haven't had the time to get around to removing it.
I've done some quick searches to find information about the removal of Aurora, and it looks like removal involves a lot of tedious work...
Doea anyone know of some software that'll remove it so I don't have to do it manually? So far Microsoft Anti Spyware has found it, but not removed it. AdAware hasn't removed it. Spybot Search & Destroy hasn't removed it. AVG Antivirus hasn't removed it.
Just a word of advice to others who may be "infected": Direct Revenue has a removal tool on their site. I wouldn't suggest using it after reading a number of posts on forums (computing.net)
Ahh, when I said grouping, what I meant is that it puts all Firefox instances next to eachother.. I guess a better word might be sorting?
I didn't mean the function that rolls multiple instances of firefox into one task button..
Unless you plan on upgrading a lot of computers, you probably don't have much of a choice.
Lots of newer windows 98 machines are probably able to run Windows XP without too much trouble, but I have a feeling that Longhorn will be quite a bit more resource intensive.
ditto. I work for a very small university.. we've still got a lot of PII 233 machines with win98, and even a bunch of slower windows 95 computers floating around.
The only feature in Windows XP that I like is the way it groups apps on the taskbar. That, and the picture viewer is nice. (I'm not being sarcastic, I think that picture/fax viewer is one of their best applications. Loads quickly, does its job well, very simple)
I almost live in Canada (in Maine, about a 15 minute drive away from NB)
And while this isn't totally on topic.. Damn I need A/C. I'm going to die.
Does anyone know of a fairly inexpensive (read: less than $500) AC unit that fits into a crank-out window?
Our apartment's got 3 huge bay windows.. all with crank-out windows on the side. I haven't found a useable AC unit that's affordable that doesn't require me to route plumbing and vent heat through a drier vent type hose.
I gotta say... having Valve's SDK for free to create my own maps and content is part of the reason I dig PC games so much.
I'd like to see consoles offer the same kind of creative environment to the gaming community, but it isn't happening with this next generation of consoles.
Would a utility such as AnalogX's MaxMem help the situation? I use firefox all day every day (being a web developer) and I haven't noticed any memory problems. (MaxMem runs all of the time keeping my physical memory free)
Can we drop the SCO thing yet... This is like standing on the side lines watching someone get beat to death by an angry mob and cheering for more blood.
Sounds like fun to me *does guillotine chopping gesture*
That would require me to install IE7 to notice.
Assuming that IE7 will be part of some ginormous security update for the OS, (otherwise I wouldn't have a reason to install IE7) I guess I'd probably react by fixing Firefox.
And changing the IE icon from a blue "e" to a brown cartoonish tasty-freeze shaped dog poo hidden somewhere deep in the Accessories group in the start menu.

PS - I've read that Ewido Security Suite will take care of it, but I haven't tried it yet.

I suppose to vent the heat you could maybe cut a piece of plexi or lexan to fit the crank-out window, and then mount the exhaust hose to that?

Suggestions would be very welcome.
Apparently someone needs to watch more beavis and butthead.
So you're from Boston?
I also thought it was a strange use of the word "big"
A really fat nerd was the mental picture that came to mind first.
I agree. Societies should definatly encourage as much discussion and roleplay of awesome tentacle sex as possible.

I wish I could do that... unfortunatly, I work for a University, and we have to worry about piddly things like accessibility.
Developing only for one browser would make my job much easier.

Erm.. make that "IMP Ltd", not "Welsh Engineering"
My bad.
Although not pure electric, the Toyota Volta was the first hybrid supercar. 408 horsepower out of a 3.3 liter V6 Synergy Drive.
More than 400 miles on a 13.7 gallon tank isn't bad for a car that does 0-60 in 4 seconds.

I'd love to see this new engine from Welsh Engineering in a Lotus, although I'd never be able to afford one, it'd be an incredible car.

Wow, Wikipedia has way too many nerds submitting content.
Sounds like the headline of the next John C. Dvorak article.
Geeks... I see Hyperion there on the left.. I can't believe Zero_Cool couldn't make it to the photo.
That's awesome.
The game and the panty shots both.
Mine actually started young with Commodore 64 games. And then when we were in high school, we played Descent over the modem.
She didn't get into the FPS until Half-Life... and she still doesn't really like playing a first person shooter unless she can be shooting at me.
