What I am getting at is when you lockdown machines your calls in go up for service and special considerations while the virus malware calls in stay the same.
Thats my experience, you ALWAYS get the virus and malware calls, no matter now lockeddown a machine is.
My 2 cents and Avira anti-vir works quite well IMHO.
Recently I have gotten bit( $50.00 for the Force Underwhelmed) by the high retail price for games and i swore them off for good.
Now in the bargin bin for under $10 I played Prey, Overlord, GalCiv2(I know, I know its FREE) and a couple of others. For the price they were all excellent and I had a great time playing them. I still play GalCiv2.
Now Steam has a free weekend of the franchise I grew up with, cut my teeth building and upgrading my pc in the neverending quest of higher frame rates and spent years of enjoyment with.
I did not get it when it came out cuz it was simply to expensive for me.
I played it over the weekend, had a great time and here is the kicker.....they had it on SALE FOR $11.99.
SOLD and I am having a great fun time AND it does not hurt the wallet.
Soo I am sold on mu new game purchasing theory, I will wait until it is around $10.00 and buy it.
I do a quick review search when I am in the store and if it is over a 7 I get it.
I can get 5 game for the price of 1 New A list, that is worth it.
What i would do if I saw a great deal was tell them YEs I want the plan, then they walk you to the counter with the pc and as they are ringing you up I say I changed my mind, no plan, just the pc thank you very much. The rep would come back give a speech about pc's breaking, end of the earth as we know it, blah blah and I would say NO. Just the pc I have right here thank you very much byebye now!!!
What is the big deal.
I used to setup pc's and printers for HP in Best Buys and it is common knowledge they would rather sell the "Service Plan" then the pc. No margin in pc sales without add-ons like $45.00 gold plated USB cables, etc. or the Fat all-profit plan.
And yes if you said you did not want the plan they came back and said "Sorry, we just sold the last one and we are out of stock."
"People will pirate when it's overpriced. When it's right-priced, most people will gladly pay for it."
What do mean right-priced? Does the saleswomen have to take you in the back and suck your dick for it to be right-priced?
It is called stealing. plain and simple. I do it and i know it is stealing. i am poor so i can only afford a couple of $50 games a year. thats it. I admit it.
Don't say they need a new business model, they need to keep up with todays tech, etc. You are stealing a game. it is no different if you go to gamespot and stick a game under your shirt and walk out.
you just do it from your room/basement, whatever. No difference.
If they can tell a pc if infected, I guess by the type of traffic it is spitting out, do they let the poor saps know it is infected?
Hello your computer if infected click here to run a scan......
It is extremely frustrating the amount of dropped calls and call failed's I get.
I had a sony-erickson for 3 years and had maybe 3 or 4 dropped calls and maybe 2 or 3 times when i cannot make a call.
I do those numbers in like 3 days of iphone use.
It is not my area, I always have 3g, but the bars do fluctuate wildly from 1 or 2 to 3 or 4 in the same location.
I love the phone but i am worried if this is a problem they can fix or will it get worse?
Living in same spot 10 years, always spotty reception on att ( also had for 10 years, first att, then cingular, then bellsouth, then att) and always spotty reception.
My last 3 Sony-Ericksons had the same bad reception, but at least I was ALWAYS able to make calls, staticy, but i cold make and receive them. Had maybe 5 -10 dropped calls ever. ALWAYS able to make calls whenever, wherever.
Now fast forward to the present iphone 3g and I go sometimes 5 minutes with that frackin Call Failed.... crap. Already had at least 20 dropped calls.
I want to throw the iphone through the iwall.
But I wont cuz the internet and stuff is like so cool on it, so I will put up with it. Just like every other person who is experiencing this drop call issue.
NO ONE will return the iphone to go back to their blackberry or whatever.
OVERALL the best personal tech experience I have EVER had and I know a lot of other peeps who feel the same way. ( and REAL peeps, not internet chat room forum, wow clan peeps. real flesh and blood peeps.)
Coral Gables, Fl has been doing this for about a year already.

Oh, wait. This/. I mean war-driving and mooching wi-fi....yeah right.
