I've used ComboFix regularly for several months now and it is part of my cleaning routine on very infected machines. It is the first tool I use (in safe mode) on system that otherwise seem hopeless. It has worked well very often. Like any other spyware removing tools, it can ruin an OS...

Yes, I am. I have a 7K1000.B here. I haven't paid much attention to it and it is still in its original package. What do you want to know?

From Wikipedia : I figure yours is of the first kind, so it doesn't have an operating system. My bad. I still don't see the value, but that's your memories, not mine. Or maybe you're a lot richer than I expected.

I was curious about Mercutio's amount of posts, so I vidited his profile, while not logged in, and what I saw (and that any guest can see) in the visitor message (the one viewed by default) made me :rofl: VERY subtle, Greg.

You really want to pay 3300U$ for a FORTRAN compiler?

One of my customers has an HP Media center PC m8200n, which uses this motherboard. Notice the 3 pins white SPDIF connector in the very bottom of the board, about in the middle of the last PCI slot. The guy wanted an HDMI output, so I installed him a MSI N9400GT-MD512H graphic card. And I...

Parental control and second user account won't work because he wants to have everything accessible from the same user account. I'll have to dig the Net for an encrytion program. That's what I thought I would have to do, but I asked in case I was missing something. Thanks for the help.

One of my customer has access to camera at a remote location on his computer. His user account is therefore almost always active. He doesn't want to re-login every time the computer goes on the screen saver. What he wants to avoid thought, is that someone sneeks on his computer and check his...

Support for Jumbo frames?

Thanks. I already never fully open the taps on the water supply. Without knowing it, I would probably have saved myself a lot of trouble.

Coup de théâtre! After mesuring my laundry spot, I realised that most 78cm-depth models were too deep to fit in. So screw the GE, scrap the Kenmore and forget anything I was looking for so far. F-word, F-word, F-word! I'm disappointed and since I cannot get something worthy, I decided to buy...

Continuum at Ars' Openforum was beyond 24K posts some three or four years ago. I figure he must be at over 40K by now.

Re : Timwhit I would rather not buy used, but I may not have the choice if I'm not "creative" enough to find enough money to buy a new one. Re : time I thought they would have figured out a way to make a decent rincing cycle. I wasn't aware that some didn't do this well enough as it is one...

I'm pretty sure that's false. On a high-end system like your main computer, I quite certain that Win 7 would manage memory and task-switching a lot better than XP 64. It would feel snappier. I know it did on my modest main computer (C2Q Q9450, 4GB RAM - now significantly set-back compared to...

What so special about 16Kb? It's 16K in binary?

Best washer I've seen so far is a Kenmore 263 649 107. Direct gear drive versus belt for the GE. 138KWh/year for the Kenmore versus 142KWh/year for the GE. The Kenmore is 50$ more and only available in gay blue or silver. My dryer is white but I'm no girl so I don't care about the color, as...

The only comparable model I've found was at Sears and it was the WF218ANW. The specification sheet says it has VRT and it only consumes 151Kwh/year, so that would be ok. However, Sears wants 1099$CAN for it, which blows my modest budget. I've found a Maytag MAH2400AW for 850$, but there's no...

There's enough people in Oregon for a laundromat? I'm shocked. There are none I'm awared off close to where I live. I'm sure my neighboor could help me for one or two weeks, but I'd rather not disturb anyone with my laundry.

I was originally very tempted by the Samsung WF337AAW that SDBarwick linked with the VRT technology, but they are 1500$CAn here. That's almost twice as much as I'm whiling to spend so that's too rich for my blood. I'll look elsewhere, unfortunately.

So.... my frontal-door washer decided to die yesterday (for once, I didn't help it) and I'm now in the market for a new one. I have absolutely no money but I'll have to find some before 7 days (that's how much time I have before all my clean clothes end up dirty). I browsed some local...

False. I installed the public beta and used it for two months on a Thinkpad R50p with a Pentium M 1.73GHz and 1GB of RAM. It was very tolerable. XP still is faster on that machine, but not tremendously. I re-installed XP because Win7, like Vista, doesn't allow one application I need on the...

I can already tell you that I hate the color of the box. The rest of my appreciation will follow in the upcoming days (I won't have the time to play with it this evening). I will using it exclusively with Windows 7 Media Center. I can install it right away on customers' systems since we're...

But most companies have CAT5E cables all over the place and 10GbE requires something higher grade. They'll have to re-wire anyway, although I agree that CAT6 cable is still quite a bit cheaper than fiber. (Not having googled it)...CAT6 is enough for 10GbE, right?

That's more or less the analysis I did. I called my supplier this afternoon and he could have the Asus faster than the Hauppauge, so it helped me to take a decision. I read reviews for both cards and the conclusion was the same : they worked better with Windows Media Center than with their...

Now I can't decided which one to get : Asus My Cinema-EHD3-100/NAQ... or the Hauppauge WinTV HVR-2250 I was originally interested in. Both should do the job and have more or less the same inputs. Both use NXP chips, althought Asus doesn't specifies which model (but from the pictures I've seen...

Did you like the taste? I heard it's bitter.

I typed hazardous blister pack on Google images and the first result was this. WTF does a sixty-years-old do to hurt himself with a Pokemon?

Pills can pop out of a stupid consumer product in a giant 12-layer, multi-segmented blister pack with a tiny, fragile product inside. I often drop gums from those. I'm sure there are some with rond pink pills. But the other kind you write about that's hazardous to open ; nope, never seen.

Actually no, I don't know what you mean. I almost never take pills and I've probably never seen what you described. I bought a cheapo blister pack of Sudafed-kind pills last year because I've had two bad colds in a row. That's the first time I remember buying pills for the past ten years...

Oh no, here you don't go 10 feet between your door and your car. You open your door and you shovel the first two feet of snow that got blown off to your door. Then you walk another 6 feet and you shovel the whole two feet of snow that the sky shitted on every side of your damn car.

Especially those with round pink pills that roll under the sofa.

That's great...if you live in the States. The rest of the world is left out in the cold.

I would gladly take care of the support (I already do, people can't understand that I'm not the one responsible for the OS's mess) if MSFT would provide me with 30$ licenses. As for Linux, I tried to offer it, but no one here is interested. Many still pay for MS Office while OpenOffice could...

I came across an article at Ars Technica giving hints about the price of each Windows license Microsoft charges to OEMs. For me, a small computer seller, it's revolting. That gives them such a tremendous advantage over me in the low-end market that it's completly unfair. I must pay some 100$...

I didn't check the spelling. I meant Boogie.

Folding your clothes takes you enough time to consider it worthwhile to start listening to a CD in the meanwhile? Do you have THAT much clothes? It didn't sound like it, but...you're a woman, right? There's nothing wrong with it, but I've always been under the impression that you were a man...

Plymouth was from Chrysler. I know motor vehicles. Who are you trying to fool?

Merc might commit suicide after reading this.

The old grinch from Oregon is one year older today. Fifty-something and still crunching (FAH).

I've found several 15" LG laptops with the number pad fitting on the side of the keyboard. My annoying customer is interested. I didn't think I would find something.

I have one unpleasant customer who wants a fifteen inches laptop with an integrated numerical keypad. I've never seen such a thing, but she says she saw some. Anyone here has suggestions?

Why didn't you install Win7 right now and waited for October 22nd to activate it? The RTM is already available. The only thing you have to wait for is the license and you don't have to put it before 60 days after the original installation. October 22nd isn't 60 days away.

I think I forgot to say thanks for the replies... : Thanks.

BTW, the Enermax case you linked is exactly like a (usually cheaper) Cooler Master Elite RC335. I use those for mid range boxes, but noise insulation leaves much to be desired (the panels are thin).

I like the Xigmatek Midgard. Cost me about 75$CAN (I sell it 90$CAN). Unfortunately for you, it can only holds 5 x 3.5" drives, but also 5 x 5.25" drives.

http://www.hauppauge.com/site/products/data_hvr2250.html I plan to use the above in several HTPC I'll sell in the upcoming two months. The card is low profile, but there's no mention of low profile bracquets for the full kit. Only the model 01229 (board only without the remote control) is...

Wisdom tooth extraction...at 46 years old??? Waiting that long to get rid of something that should have been removed before your twenties deserves the name of unwisdom tooth. Wait another three or four years and the tooth will be in such an advanced rotten stage that the dentist will be able...

What happened to your house? Got divorced? I don't like wireless anything, but it is often a necessary evil. High frequency emissions have an unknown long-term effect on our cells. All those wireless toys we use are a large-scale experimentation humanity does upon itself IMO.

I didn't pick the number on Hibachi's web site. I read it on the drive's package. My supplier (this one at least) doesn't advertise the model number of its Hibachi drives. It's a surprise every time. Western Digital's model numbers are clearly shown though.

Oh I'll buy your house for 280$. I can even give you 300$ since I'm such a good guy. Do you think you can be out by the end of September?
