well, you can't settle for just a trip to msconfig, you need to go into services.msc and dictate which programs start automatically, which ones start manually, and which ones don't start at all.
Windows boots with 50+ services and apps off-the-shelf; I'm heavily into security and p2p, yet my machine is running 28...
and running damn well too.
Firefox with AdBlock+, EasyElement, EasyList, SpyBot S&D, SpywareBlaster, disable Flash and UPnP, SMC Barricade 7004VBR (w NAT and firewall)...what's the problem? I've been running this for several years with no infections.
99.9% of the shiit that gets blocked by these programs I don't need/want/miss anyway.
and I shouldn't have used "like" and "love" as a point of reference, I erred. I perhaps should have noted the differences are apparent between the "dedicated" or "casual" listener, as some poeple really don't give a shiit whats coming through to their ears as long as it makes their toes tap.
as my website attests, I "love" (generally) the same music you do. but when I listen to highland's release of pf19701107 remergence (HL-099/100), not only can I tell it's not the same quality as De Doelen (it's far better, and complete); but I can tell if either has been mp3'd.
This despite the fact that these 37 yr old audience recordings are not "great" to begin with. mp3's just plain suck. handy, yes- quality, no!
and it is less of an inconvenience to continue to play LP as opposed to digitizing, decoding, and then searching for a compatible media player (although cracked winamp 5.5 plays all my shn/flac/ape files OTF*).
and I avoid the **AA nazi's by LP'ing, or downloading live concert recordings.
if the original FLAC file was composed of inferior-quality music, then it will not sound any better than an mp3. For people to whom music quality matters (those who "love" music), there IS a difference in sound. If you just "like" music, then you're probably not going to hear an appreciable difference.
And as someone noted, I too have a hard time listening to CD's that play all the way through, I'm used to hiss and scratches! My collection is 2000+ and growing, all from the 60's and 70's, and I listen to them daily. Most will never be commercially available on CD, so I'm "stuck" with the LP's...
And they can manufacture all the vinyl they want, but someone needs to manufacture a turntable to play it on (iirc, turntable manufacturing has been on the decline...)
if you're equating FLAC to be the same listening pleasure as an MP3, you're f*****g crazy. Unless the original FLAC file was an MP3, which is contradictory.
And if you still insist that MP3 rivals FLAC, you have a shitty stereo.
and in the US, they print your bank's routing number immediately after your bank account number, making that one less step for the identity thief to take...

your 3rd-grade name-calling whilst hiding beneath mommy's skirt has caused ir-repairable emotional trauma...she doesn't let you out much eh?
>sob...
if one is based on "even", and the other on "odd", how the fuck are they the same? since when does odd equal even?
and at least I had the balls to put my name on my test...
"Maybe it's like Star Trek movies -- only the even numbered ones are good (in this case, odd numbers)."
so it's not like Star Trek at all then?
good thing you posted AC, you know nothing of math:
there are alway 3 digits to the left of a decimal point in order to use the comma to delintiate thousandths...
Classic example of a question that can't be properly answered by a yes or no: "Do you still beat your wife?"
and why can't this be answered "yes" or "no"? I fail to see where "maybe" would fit in, and "fuck off and die" would just be self-evident...
That's about as close to Geek Tragedy as you can get.
there, fixed that for ya.......
