Wow. You're claiming, AC of course, that the Canadian Mounted Police have active espionage of foreign governments. That's an interesting claim. Do go on.
Indexing Service is configured to run while idle by default. So if you're sitting there waiting for it to 'switch off' you're breaking the behavior. It should go off as you use the computer more. To turn it off, Control Panel - Indexing Options.
Windows Defender does startup scans only, and has an open window while it does so. Background scanning is 'on demand'.
I've not heavily tweaked my setup. I have done things like ensure System Properties are set as I want (virtual memory size, etc), which is more than your usual will do. But no arcane registry stuff, nor any TweakNow-esque things.
I've read enough Vista claims of sputtering to realize that many people are having issues. But many people are running just fine, too. Nothing more, nothing less.
Then your system is utterly fucked up, and I'm not blaming Vista. My Sony VAIO has 2GB of RAM and Vista Ultimate, and sitting idle, or even most 'office' style work, the hard drive barely blinks. On my home network, my laptop has connected - and seamlessly - to a standalone networked HP printer, a Maxtor Shared Storage drive running embedded Linux/Samba, my wife's XP laptop, and 2k3 Small Business Server.
It's an interesting contrast to Apple's $100 rebate on the itards who's feelings where hurt by the price cut. Apple uses it's monopoly not so much "for good" but to enable it to manage it's customer's end-to-end experience in a very positive way.
I love the way this has been spun. So you got jacked out of $200. And the company's soothing measure is $100 rebate for more of their stuff? Because I know when I've been treated like shit by a company, my first motivation is to... uhh... throw more money their way...
German Chair of of IPPNW Describes 9/11 Terror Attacks as 'Airplane Accidents'.
Interestingly, not one of nearly 200 comments even ponders whether this was imperfect use of English, from a non-native speaker... instead, no, he must be a Nazi. A "9/11 denier".
There are hosting services that offer hosting for $10/month (or less) that will offer several terabytes of download and a gig or so of storage.
P.
No, there's not. Sign up for a "2TB a month for $10" plan on any provider. Proceed to saturate that 2TB to 100% for a couple of months. Watch how quickly you get told to move to a higher plan, if not disconnected.
You get consideration: they are under no obligation to allow you into their private property, and nor are they under any obligation to act as a merchant of goods to you.
Beautiful. Love the spin. Suddenly they go from attempting to prevent theft to "just for fun", and you get to make them sound like assholes for having the gall when you walk out the door with boxes of merchandise and they want to see a receipt to verify said merchandise is paid for.
Well, I'm gonna guess that he likes to make a stand. His blog talks about how he disagrees with the concept of licensing to carry firearms, or drive vehicles. There are meritable arguments to either, true, and he's entitled to such, but really, I don't pay a huge deal of credence to someone who thinks it is an assault on his civil liberties to require him to show basic competency before being allowed to pilot 3,000lb+ of steel at a speed of nearly 100 ft per second in a confined space.
He wanted to make a show of making a point. Fine. I just don't agree that his point has the merit he believes it does.
Crap. Whether you like it or not, Best Buy, Circuit City will usually have a nice big sign,/right at the entrance/: "As a condition of entry to this store, we reserve the right to inspect bags".
You agreed when you entered the store. No-one made you shop there. But don't play disingenous - "I never signed an agreement!" - it just looks ass-ish.
Haha. I know many sysadmins who needed to update sufficient systems that an automatic system was required: Number who used SMS/WSUS? Dozens. Number who relied on Autopatcher? None.
First off, the first key phrase is "By submitting, posting or displaying Content on or through Google services which are intended to be available to the members of the public..."
That means that they're not applying this to private content, just stuff you intended to be publicly available.
No, it means your reading comprehension is not up to par: it's not "Content which are intended to be available", it's "Google services which are intended to be available", which is Google Apps.
Phone call I received yesterday: "Hi, this is X from [my isp]. We just got a letter from [our upstream ISP] who were contacted by lawyers from NBC Universal regarding your IP being used to download a torrent from... The Pirate Bay.org?"

And you buy legal FLAC, DRM-free music for $2 a song from... where, exactly?

Yeah, because an outage is a sign of coding incompetency, as we all know.

Actually, it's also "fraud", or "dishonestly obtaining financial advantage by deception", depending on your local criminal code.
Go on, I'm waiting.
Real curious.
Interestingly, besides drivers and a functioning (and correctly configured AD), I can connect with a vanilla Vista install... (Eww, shiver, I know)
What's going to happen?

What a bunch of moronic pond scum.
Hence a condition of entry. So you have the ability to decline, and not enter. Not a condition of exit, so you become a 'prisoner'.
You get consideration: they are under no obligation to allow you into their private property, and nor are they under any obligation to act as a merchant of goods to you.
So, apparently, Circuit City is now the 51st State of the Union, now, is it?
Beautiful. Love the spin. Suddenly they go from attempting to prevent theft to "just for fun", and you get to make them sound like assholes for having the gall when you walk out the door with boxes of merchandise and they want to see a receipt to verify said merchandise is paid for.
"for fun", indeed. A nice debater you'd make.
He wanted to make a show of making a point. Fine. I just don't agree that his point has the merit he believes it does.
Let's get this straight. By refusing a possible opportunity to involve law enforcement, I hereby waive any right to claim a crime against me?
Oh man. Beautiful. Laughable.
You agreed when you entered the store. No-one made you shop there. But don't play disingenous - "I never signed an agreement!" - it just looks ass-ish.
What a silly comment. I guess you as a tenant of your home can't have trespass charges filed against someone, because you don't own, you rent, too?
There's not? You've not heard of WSUS, apparently. Oh, and why would they be threatened? How many patches exist for clean RHEL systems?
Haha. I know many sysadmins who needed to update sufficient systems that an automatic system was required: Number who used SMS/WSUS? Dozens. Number who relied on Autopatcher? None.

I'm glad you're not my lawyer.
