    My wife gets dozens of them a day. Google is smart enough to send them to the spam folder. I pointed out she needs to make sure to never use that password or anything like it again.

    Hacked

    They probably got your email and password from one of the many websites that have been hacked, and emailed you threatening the rest. I doubt that they have accessed your personal machine at all, even if you use the same password on it. That said, I would still change all passwords that are the...

    New phone time: old-school

    I think it probably comes down to the software. Motorola is good about not preloading the phone with a bunch of garbage. Without all that stuff constantly checking in it might make a big difference. That combined with the display not being on a lot.

    You seem like a really smart guy when it comes to most things. It is clear you do a lot of research on audio gear, but for some reason you seem to only get your news from the GOP bubble. There is a lot of room for negotiation on doing what is right on this issue, but you racists are only...

    Screw the people who have been here for decades, living a good life, contributing to society, because they weren't lucky enough to be born here and their parents brought them here. Hell, even some of the Republicans think that is wrong. The Republicans were cool with letting CHIP expire for...

    Best movie you've seen

    I enjoyed Passengers well enough. I think most of the bad reviews are due to the actions of the main character rather than the overall quality of the movie. I really enjoyed Hacksaw Ridge as well. I went in not knowing anything about the story and very much enjoyed it.

    Android 7.0 reviews?

    I recall in the past, sometimes when an android got a software update, the battery needed some time to re-calibrate before being accurate again. Maybe that is what you're running into?

    Vehicle Telemetry Recorders

    I have little doubt that even as flawed as the current system may be, it is still far better than virtually every human driver. You can't say for sure if a human had been driving any other car in that situation, without AEB, that there wouldn't have still been a crash. I'd still rather have it...

    Because in the US we don't punish innocent people. You know, the whole it is better to let one guilty man go free than punish an innocent?

    GPU slot failed on 2 different computers

    It appears that version 373.06 is the newest nvidia driver version that works with folding@home. It was released Oct 6th 2016 and there's been 4 releases since which none work with folding@home. Thanks for the idea ddrueding, if the driver wasn't the issue, that would have been my next stop.

    GPU slot failed on 2 different computers

    I don't have a spare PS. I've done some research, and it sounds like Nvidia has borked folding for the last several driver versions, so I probably just ran into that. I haven't had time to test with an older driver version, but should be able to by tomorrow and will report back.

    Over half of Democrats identify as Christian. It basically comes down to you don't like their beliefs, no matter how close to yours they are, so you want them to convert, to get out of your country or be eliminated from the planet.

    Your implication was that Obama has done something with EO that other presidents haven't done. I mistakenly took that to mean that you meant (as many do) that he has issued a lot of them. You specify that he can't re-write existing immigration legislation. I don't believe he did re-write them...

    http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/data/orders.php Has Obama really used executive orders more than the last several presidents? If this data is correct we have to go back to the 19th century to find a president who used them less per year in office. I also think we're very much living in a pro...

    problem USB flash drive refuses formatting, due to write protection

    Have you tried any third party format utilities? I don't know of any specifically but I'm sure they're out there. You might have better success with a linux bootable cd and use linux format. Again, sorry I can't be more specific, it's not my area of expertise but it is where I would look if I...

    My video card went kaput and I didn't feel like the points from my measly processor amounted to enough to justify the heat and electricity. I'm hoping to replace the card with something more current but money is tight right now. When I replace it I will probably return to folding.
