A critique of the Union of Concerned Scientists by the Center for Consumer Freedom: Committed to an “open-minded search for truth,” and armed with “unrivaled scientific expertise,” the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) “doesn’t say anything [it] can’t back up with solid...

Just so it's clear - UPnp is not about opening gaping holes in your firewall just for MS Messenger. UPnP is Universal Plug and Play and there's an industry sponsor group with working committees that help define coorperative architectures (it's lead by Microsoft - which makes sense since...

How about the millions of votes cast for Gore in places like Chicago, New York, Boston, LA, San Fran, etc. by people who are either dead or no longer living in the district but where someone cast a vote for them anyway??? Don't say it doesn't happen or that it isn't rampant -- I live in Chicago...

Ah yes, we always have the French (perennial legends in their own minds) happy to instruct others on civility - at least until the next time the snivling little wienies need their butts protected.

Flip a coin - it's one lying scumbag or the other - we get screwed either way

Check the ZDnet website - they'll probably have one or more benchmarking suites you can download

Nobody said the US government hasn't been involved in loads of shit they shouldn't have been. You're the one holding up Europe as some pristine, superior, "civilized" wonderland. Are you asserting that Europe is "civilized" (vs. the rest of the "uncivilized" world) because you presume the...

Mav - he must be talking about members of the "civilized world" like: France where the corrupt government profited from all the money they pirated out of the UN's oil for food program for Iraq, thereby harming Iraqi people in such a "civilized" manner - plus you don't get much more civilized...

Penalties aren't just for punishment, but they also serve as deterrant. But when the penalty (and probability of its application) is less consequential than the probable gain from a criminal act, there is no deterrant - e.g., if the chance of getting caught dealing drugs is comparatively...

Escape from New York (paraphrased) - "...you have been sentenced to the federal prison of New York for the rest of your life...if you wish to exercise your option for immediate termination, notify the guard before you enter the transfer area..." Look at all the money we'd save!!!

Now see, if they'd have just executed him (instead of giving him life) for his other heinous crimes - the whole thing would have been moot. The problem's not that they executed him now - it's that they did NOT execute him then.

You definitely should check the security setting for the Internet zone for your browser (Tools->Internet Options->Security) - unless you specifically changed it to High, it's probably not. If the security setting is too loose, you could be allowing untrusted modules a way to be activated...

You're right - you need a couple of 9mm handguns with double wide mags, an MP5 or M16, and a semi-auto shotgun outfitted with a drum mag. A few grenades would be good too. :)

Are you firewalled? Have you downloaded ANY software at all? Do you use anything lower than the High security setting on the browser?

Exactly I hear people complaining all the time who have dialup or even broadband connections but are flying naked (i.e., no firewall). Then they compound the error by one or more of the following - not keeping up with security updates, not using a popup blocker like the one in Google's...

It's not an issue of your home page being hijacked. Your IE registry settings were probably compromised by a spyware trojan horse that you downloaded at some point. Check the IE hive in the registry for Search and Default page settings that are changing your page routing. Also, be sure to set...

The MX200 chip is pretty old - even ASUS's V7100 cards based on the older GeForce2 GPUs are using the MX400 version. But I'd guess this is probably the installation kit you want...

Are you talking about an actual nVidia GeForce video card in your machine or an "on the motherboard" video option that uses the GeForce chipset? If you don't find what you're looking for where you're currently looking, check the nVidia website (although note that nVidia chips are used in a...

People should watch the Penn & Teller's Bullshit!! segment on PETA.

Kicking - if you still have your old files, then you didn't really do a clean install (i.e., one in which you really reformated your hard drive - for that, you need to use the W2K install CD and delete your current disk partition and then reformat and create a new disk partition). Just...
