I'm going to have to get one of these eventually, but the price is crazy now. I see a bright future for the iPhone. :)

I know another bonus that iTunes had that others didn't is that its [b]reputable[/b]. I dunno about anyone else, but my folks arn't the type that throw credit card numbers to obscure websites, and I think that's partly the issue here.

I havn't been a big fan of Java lately. [list=1] [*]Something like 3 upgrades lately in the past 3 months [*]'Update' monitor that runs on startup that does little more than waste energy [*]Upgrading to each version doesn't uninstall nor build upon the earlier version. This usually isn't a problem, …

Well said.

Very nice point expressed in that last paragraph. However, one aspect of it all that wasn't touched on is the new strategy by certain record companies to prevent music from being coped into any other form. When that happens, most of the quality of the CD is lost. IMO, this …

In one sense, I would disagree with it. I personally think that a surprise opening to the public encourages mass-buying. Take the iPod for example. From what I recall, it wasn't highly advertised when first released. Then, compare it to its initial success.

Well said, everybody.

>What blud siad *Points at my brother*;)

Hmm, it seems that Chaky knows his stuff! Well done, as I love this stuff as well. :mrgreen:

The virus infection itself is understandable, but Apple's response to the matter is simply unbelieveable. :(

mushypea- Finally, it's been explained to me! I've always wondered the basics on quantum computing.... Thanks. :)

>Mac doesn't have updates Err...they've had a buncha updates pretty recently actually (I own one among several PCs) ;) But yes, I can't agree with ya more. WGA has become laughingstock among even semi-knowledgeable IT circles. However, my view of the patches themselves differs pretty dramatically then te view shown …

That looks pretty phenominal :) Except, I took the easy way out--I gots my own server space ;)

Toulinwoek- WELL written, and I can't agree with ya more :)

Very true... I'm not a gambler myself, but hey, we have a God-given right of "the pursuit of happiness" (according to the Founding Fathers, at least)

Seconding what he said above :cheesy:

Excellent-written article I might begin with. Secondly, I can't agree with ya more. Also, cell phones are probably one of the easist pieces of electronic equipment to destroy..even worse then iPods...:confused:

Heh, sounds good to me. Actually, sounds like a buncha drunk college guys to me...;)

I second it. Just because a company has at one time released a program, it needn't constantly protect it while its still in common use.

[quote=happygeek]perhaps it’s time we all started taking online privacy a whole lot more seriously.[/quote] Can't agree with ya more. And ya, I agree with Comatose. One of the better articles in a while (not that the other ones were bad.) By the way, do ya kno of any other sites …

Don't kno if you'll see this Davey, but have ya been currently testing it? If so, whaddya think?

Agreed.

No, I disagree jwenting. Toulinwoek has a completely legit argument.

Can't agree with ya more. By the way, I wanna mention that I've been reading your articles lately, and I'm liking the writing. Good Job. :) Thanks.

Roger that jwenting :)

Post a HJT thread in the Virus forum. Thanks.

[quote]bearshare, limewire.[/quote] There's your problem. I have a feeling youre infected with something. Post in the Virus forum please.

Completely agreed with Xpenetrator. The short answer is yes for several reasons. 1) The absolutely critical patches (aka 0-day patches) patch vulnerabilities that normal anti-viruses/firewalls etc don't catch, nor protect against. For example, at another site I belong to, someone found a specific website (not given here for obviosu reasons) …

That's odd. Is there any possiblity that the site was down when you tried to access it?

Well spyware wise, ya dont got too much. Fix the following: [B]O3 - Toolbar: (no name) - {4982D40A-C53B-4615-B15B-B5B5E98D167C} - (no file) O16 - DPF: {30528230-99f7-4bb4-88d8-fa1d4f56a2ab} (YInstStarter Class) - C:\Program Files\Yahoo!\common\yinsthelper.dll O16 - DPF: {DBA230D1-8467-4e69-987E-5FAE815A3B45} - O17 - HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Tcpip\..\{3A1A2D54-C40A-485A-8FC6-3451C3B033A5}: NameServer = 68.94.156.1,68.94.157.1[/B] Several things. To try to fix the IE problem, …

Awsome, welcome to Daniweb. Well that's a clean log. It's not spyware that seems to be the problem. Rather, it's a computer issue. Try downloading and using FireFox, and report back on how the problem is. (the link's in my sig below). Thanks.

I hate to say it, but I think reformat is the only other option. ;)

Agreed fully. One should not be required to take further courses that they have no interest in (to a point). That's the very reason I'm leaning against a college that has core classes.

I really think the restarts are because your computer is getting too hot inside. First off, can you double check that all your fans are working. Secondly, open the case, have a fan blowing air into your computer, and try again. What happens?

Very very very....addictive. :)

We don't need it, definitely agreed. However, having that much space to upload stuff is a lot better then leasing server space. ;)

Everything seems to be functioning fine, methings. The one other thing you might need to worry about is security. With your setup, [i]anyone[/i] could be using youre internet connection. The way around this is WEP, basically wireless encryption. I would reccomend using this if you begin to feel security contentious. …

Yep, exact same question I had, Comatose. *loooking around cluelessly* By the way, tayspen, ya testing?

[quote]Seems too easy to me.[/quote] Agreed. 226 first time, 215 second time ;)

Try reinstalling it, then uninstalling again. Moved to XP forum

My computer desn't have the specs to run Vista (it's a mini laptop).:sad:

I think I must add, I [b]hate[/b] MessengerPlus from the security perspective. With most downloads, 'addons' are checked for installation (with a checkbox to opt out). However, one of the 'addons' is LOP, a difficult infection to remove that's been known to cause some harm to computers.

Welcome to Daniweb :) [quote]so kindly suggest me in doing any miniproject which consumes very less time......................................[/quote] Heh sorry, I can't...don't know enough into the subject. Thanks.
