    File Transfer

    If you are junking the old machine, pull the hard drive and put it in the new machine. Transfer the files to the new drive. Reformat the old drive and then create a backup folder on it. Copy back all of your documents. If the old drive is large enough, Use it as a document/data repository...

    MJ, the greatest ever....

    Works for me! :D [b] Didn't you know? It's on the record for easy verification. The initial rap on Scottie was that he was soft. You could spook him out of his game (and into headache mode) very easily. In his second year in the league, Mike had started becoming vocal in practice...

    MJ, the greatest ever....

    And therein lies the real talent of a TEAM. Something that escapes lots of players. It's not about who's the best. It's about what do we need to do to assist each other in the win. Or more importantly, what can I do to make his job easier and take the pressure off me? We will in turn make...

    "Warning" for New P4 Buyers

    Multi-processors too expensive. Hmm, not really. If you have the ability to build your own system The sum of the parts warrant the cost. Otherwise you can always do something like this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3404562479&category=11213...

    MJ, the greatest ever....

    Yep, and Mike puinished them from then on. That was the year that EVERYONE took the Bulls lesson and learned how to expose the soft underbelly of the Shaq. He couldn't turn to his right (still really can't), only had a dunk (subsequently added the fade hook from Kareem's camp that summer), and...

    MJ, the greatest ever....

    In case you don't remember, that did happen. Before becoming a Laker he (Shaq) tried to carry Orlando, remember? The only real trouble was some guy in Chicago and a squad of hapless performers known as the Bulls. Handed him lunch a few times if I remember correctly. But Kobe is on a team...

    "Warning" for New P4 Buyers

    Too many folks and so called experts seem to think that because the machine is hyper-thread capable that all software will get a bump in performance. Not so. If a software is designed to complete something before issuing the next instruction, it will defeat the purpose somewhat. What if...

    MJ, the greatest ever....

    I am still hard pressed not to pick His Airness. Even at 40, his court presence and savvy is undeniable. I don't think Washington is suitable for the oldster. Now, place him neatly in New Jersey and Bingo. Add him to Sacramento, killer squad. At the tail end of his career he could easily...

    MJ, the greatest ever....

    The Shaq case as the best gets hurt every time he launches one of those bricks from the free throw line. There are many players throughout history who have exhibited the ability to play multiple positions also. Shaq is either the center or, ??? Remember, Magic even did a stint as center for...

    Iraq - just a ploy to hide the "failure" of the war on terrorism?

    I expect shortly to hear the crying that there is no "concrete proof" that this guy has done anything. They will also be saying that this is just one guy, and still not UBL! Greed is slowly working. Wonder how many individuals will be sharing in the $25 million lottery for this guy! :)

    Is cable really less secure...

    Nope, this is standard. I don't think I would advise you to rely on a third party to protect your interests/data with the same vigor and determination as you would. Get proactive on this one. :)

    Is cable really less secure...

    The Linksys line will be fine. I use them on most of my home installs. They are robust enough, and easy enough, to take care of your needs. Spend the extra $10. The BEFSX41 gives you another level of protection. $10 doesn't sound like much (as a nerd I could techspeak babble about the...

    Is cable really less secure...

    Ok, let's slow up a bit here. Having been part of the early nerd club, I'd say the kid that you speak of here is not the one to be concerned about. I was teaching computer stuff some 20+ years ago assisting my professors also. The kid that would fit your profile would be more of the almost...

    Is cable really less secure...

    Yes, that would achieve some security. But know that you ARE sharing the band with the neighbors. Now, are they sitting there sniffing your data? I seriously doubt it. But it is possible. Don't go overboard with fear here. Everything CAN ultimately be defeated. I use Zone Alarm on My...

    This war is illegal!

    I just looked up their involvement the first time and found that they sent approximately 1,800 troops and a couple of supply frigates. They also experienced no casualties. Other than a presence, I can't find any active battles that they were involved in either. So basically, we'll be about...

    This war is illegal!

    Amazing how these Bozos can stand up and denounce the potential war but not the criminal that has caused the whole stinking mess. Where was the full page ruling of theirs about what Saddam has done in the past? I always wonder about folks like this. I have an associate who swears that the...
