Odds are that they never actually (or fully) disinfected the system. A lot of bacteria remained, sheltered by biofilm, and disinfectants are proven to be ineffective against biofilm. After they "cleaned" it and checked the bacteria levels, it was just a matter of time before the biofilm naturally continued releasing the bacteria...
In the United States, Land Rover = Range Rover and these are "upscale" SUVs here. Rich people, celebrities, etc drive them.... They're a completely different animal than the Land Rovers that my uncles and cousins have in N Ireland with rubber floor mats, vinyl seats, bench seats in the back that run lengthwise, and so on !
I remember using Napster on dial-up (don't think broadband was available or at least not affordable or common). It basically took the same amount of time to download a song as it was long, i.e. 4 minutes to download a 4-minute song.
Ughhh, just more dead, white space in people's browser windows. I mean, it seems to me that 98% of computer users run ALL application windows full-screen ?

These magazine editors and the like need to read their own columns before they submit them for publication. I've no doubt that 1-2 years ago, Louderback was touting Vista as the greatest thing since sliced bread, eagerly anticipating it's final release, encouraging everyone to throw out their obsolete 3-year old PCs so they could run Vista, and so on.
Dish Network has a new dish called "SuperDish". Damn, lots of dishes there... It's normally used to pick up either their 105' or 121' satellite, in addition to their normal 110' and 119'. I have one and it *is* around 36" across (similar in size to the old Primestar dishes).
I imagine it has to do with "mobility" or that you may be considered as not having a permanent location. Yeah, pretty stupid that they assume no landline means that... I've actually heard this before though.
No Service Pack for NT4 adds in USB support. Co-workers have Palm Pilots, Handsprings, etc and have to use serial cradles... We bought a new scanner and had to install XP on a spare machine in order to use it...

It's summary says: Windows NT 4.0 does not support Universal Serial Bus (USB) host controllers. There are no plans to provide USB support in Windows NT 4.0 in a future service pack.
I'm guessing the person who filmed this did so at 4:00am, let in the door by the theatre manager, set up the camera exactly where they wanted, tapped into one of those jacks for hearing-impaired people for audio, and left the theatre 'til it was done.
How fast is your PC ?? I've got an AMD K6-450 w/128mb RAM and an 8x burner (an HP that's actually a Sony). If I'm booted to Windows, I burn at 4x as I've had very little luck at 8x. In Linux, I can burn more reliably at 8x, but I still don't do it that often.
My wife's PC is an PIII-866 w/256mb RAM and has a 32x burner (with an 8mb buffer). I just burned a nearly-full ISO image yesterday (close to 600mb) in just under 3 minutes. Not sure what the actual "x" rate was...
Apparently you've never shopped for cd-r media. There's really no longer a price difference between 16x media and 48x media. In fact, if you find 16x media, it's probably been on the shelf for a year ! They simply stop making (or rating) media for the slower speeds as time goes on...
Does anyone have the same problem I do with the little "pads" on the bottom of the mouse getting air (pockets) and causing the mouse to move funny ?? It's terrible on my Logitech 3-button one I use at work; it's not as bad with my 5-button Logitech I have at home though (the work mouse no doubt gets more usage).
Hint: The part in italics is written by the person who submitted the story. What Taco wrote is in regular text... Do you want them editing what people submit now ?? Maybe adding (sic) would be appropriate though so that people know who made the error. Of course, the editors have to catch the error first !
Being cautious I asked what it was for and I was assured that it was 'fully secure and safe to use'.
You asked the person working at the cash register a nd got that answer ?? At least the answer sounds good, but how true is it ?? I can see an employee meeting and this is brought up... The manager responds, "In case anyone asks, tell them "It's fully secure and safe to use.".

Add Dish Network's Hopper 3 (and attached Joeys) to that list too
Let me correct that headline:
Users are the Biggest Threat To PC Security
You said the key word there: Biofilms

Sounds like a lot of different Android apps. The Facebook app can do most of the same things, as can Chrome, and so on....
No, they won't wait for you. Years ago, yeah, they might have given you some leeway. Today, airlines (well, most of them) simply don't care.

They generally are in "large" corporations. Many are also non-Caucasian as well. It shows that the company is "diverse" and modern.

A couple of items jump out at me...
- "a one person company developing a web site from home" that "is hoped to attract millions of accounts and daily hits..."
- "I am only just competent as a Win admin..."
No way this is a real question !
$100 for something with sentimental value ? Not much sentiment there... Anyway, if you tell them that, the price will go UP !

Oh yeah, that's real "easy"....

The "Centropy" release is supposed to be the "best". It's 2.25gb total...
Everything I see on that site is a tad overpriced for what it is.
If you're across the country and find it there, they figure you'll pay the price... If you go in person though, their prices are negotiable.
In IE, Opera, and at one time, Mozilla, your "back"-space key worked the same as the back button.
