  1. Thread Resurrection! OK, I have been buying music, actually I've been to TWO concerts, but it's kind of off the charts stuff. Celtic Thunder. It feels like I've been enamored of this group for ages ... enamored? I'm obsessed. The first thought in my head when I wake up every morning is lyrics from one of their songs! Help me. (I've even learned the Gaelic words to their songs! Oh God ... ) (Did I bring them up before? This is the opening song from a concert two years ago ... I have to have mentioned them before ... oh well, old thread is old.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RkTZLe4iWEY Anyhow,

    first virus

    Thank you Mr. Cohen!
  3. Marty's experience aside, and you can't disount it, I've had no problem using MSSE. Considering what the original program was based on, it's a fine solution, competitive with other products -- though I have NO idea if that applies to network situations (being MS, I'd bet it's fine for that, too). And it's free. And, again being MS, they may use calls and tricks other products aren't even aware of (though that could be either good OR bad).
  4. I've run MS security software exclusively since the update to Windows 7 -- If it didn't catch the trojan, how did you know you "caught" one?
  5. Little Red Riding Hood is skipping thru the forest road when she sees the big bad wolf crouched down behind a log. 'My, what big eyes you have, Mr. Wolf.' The wolf jumps up and runs away. Further down the road Little Red Riding Hood sees the wolf again and this time he is crouched behind a bush. 'My, what big ears you have, Mr. Wolf.' Again the wolf jumps up and runs away. About 1/4 mile down the road Little Red Riding Hood sees the wolf again and this time he is crouched down behind a rock. 'My, what big teeth you have Mr. Wolf.' With that the wolf jumps up and yells, 'Leave me alone! I

    H1N1

    Marty, flu season has only just begun in the U.S.

    H1N1

    Unless she has underlying medical conditions, she should be OK. Everyone who's had trouble, so far, was a result of an underlying medical condition. Get better!!!

    Super mouse?

    I'm stickin' with my old fashioned mouse:
  9. Maybe they can do a "Mac ad changes all the controls on your entertainment system so you no longer know how to do ANYTHING."
  10. Oh yeah! I read about that. Don't know if he's a moron, or just a partier who didn't consider the potential irony.
  11. OK then -- WindowKey+Tab it is. (That is actually SO cool! I didn't know that was there!) If I wanted, sure, I could go to the taskbar and click a program, but Alt+Tab (now Windowskey+Tab) is ingrained into my very soul.
  12. My left hand is usually near the lower left of the keyboard for easy access to keyboard shortcuts such as Alt+Tab or Ctrl+mouse-click, whatever. In previous versions of Windows Alt+Tab brought any 'hidden' window to the fore, release Alt+Tab and you're working in that window. In Windows 7 when I Alt+Tab, sure, the 'hidden' window is shown, but when I release Alt+Tab it jumps to the back again. I'm NOT in that window. Alt+Tab, Alt+Tab, Alt+Tab and ... maybe ... sometimes ... it "sticks" in front. Some programs, Windows Media Center for example, always work, some, Windows Live Calendar for exa
  13. My first thought was, what kind of security software are you running on the desktop? Is it different than what you have on the laptop? A bad combination of software can interfere with speed.
  14. That's one of my all-time favorite jokes!
  15. Just a guess, but dilute some hot pepper sauce and spray it around the engine compartment.
  16. What? No sense of humor? It's an amusing article. I actually laughed out loud at the headline. Sure, it degenerates into "just amusing" rather than staying uproarously funny, but sheesh, the author should wipe his ass with it? That's ridiculously harsh.
  17. Guess I'd have to see if the AP phrased it, as I thought when I was reading the article, to describe the original intent of the prize, or, as your example and many others show, how it is being used, regardless of the original intent. If the latter I'll give 'em a break.
  18. Wow. I'm not sure what happened there. Was he obviously on drugs? It MAY be good for the international image of the country, but if you read international sources they are just as perplexed as anyone. I like how the AP "spun" their coverage in one story. They seemed all, "this, but that, see how fair and balanced we can be," and then added a notation that, golly, it's a myth that the prize was supposed to be for actual accomplishments, it's also awarded to encourage people to work toward peace. Umm, that's not quite what Alfred Nobel had in mind as his will states, "[The Peace Prize sh
  19. It's a real shame that so many organizations created with lofty goals and mandates eventually sink into mediocrity and irrelevance (or worse). The U.N. The Nobel Peace Prize (not just for this inexplicable decision, there have been plenty of others). I'd have to say even Planned Parenthood. ACORN, anyone?

    Quotes

    If I had to pick one ... That's the one.
  21. Nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize two weeks after he took the oath of office. Pretty good for someone whose record of "Present" votes implies he didn't accomplish much.
  22. I just used Windows Live Movie Maker to combine several videos into one. Here's how it went: Click, click, click, click, click, click -- wait for render -- click, done.
  23. My bad. I thought we were still in Iraq. I did mix the promise of quick withdrawal from Iraq with the promise of increasing troop levels in Afhanistan.
