I thought one of the good things about NOD32 was the low impact on system resources.....?

I agree they're better. It just seemed you implied the government aided bankruptcy was instrumental in that and I wanted to clarify that it didn't have anything to do with it.

NOD32 (virus scanner only) continues to work great for both my parents and I. I never even notice it's running.

For the record, the Volt body was basically done far in advance of the bankruptcy and there as been no change in our safety strategy because of anything to do with that.

I love getting emails like this (they get passed on by the Marketing folks, usually).

Doug- In honor of your Mother, all of your friends here at SF have contributed to make a donation to the The Hole in the Wall Gang in the amount of $350. The thoughts of all of us are with you and your family at this difficult time in your lives.

I use VPlayer on my CM9 Touchpad. Works great for streaming in my MKV files from my server. Also will play Flash videos you may find in web pages.

Tannin- Any other time I would see a post about 1/2 as long as yours I would just say screw it...I'm not reading all this. But I read yours and I'm glad I did. Excellent analysis. Sad, but true.

Deepest sympathy to you and your Family, Doug. Your Mom will live on through you and the rest of your family.

The 1-4 shift is only active if you are driving in the Eco mode or if you are very very light on the throttle. I think it's totally disabled in 'sport' mode.

In Edmunds performance testing, the V6 Impala accelerated from zero to 60 mph in 6.7 seconds, which is about average for a large sedan. The EPA estimates fuel economy at 18 mpg city/28 mpg highway, which is slightly below average for this class. The 2.5-liter earns an estimated 21 city/31...

College fund? What college fund?! He seems like he's pretty bright maybe he'll get a scholarship or something. I will have to get in line to have one for a week. Maybe my number will come up in a year. ;)

Yes I am tooting my own horn. ;)

I don't think EDS really exists anymore. I believe they were absorbed by HP which has had it's own problems. We used to outsource almost all our IT stuff to HP but have since brought a lot of that stuff in house and have been hiring some HP people in the process. We have have been in-sourcing...

Howdy- My company is moving from Lotus Notes 8.5 to the latest version of Outlook. They are touting better integration with the latest MS Office suite as a productivity improver. Do you guys think this will be improvement? What am I in store for? :eek: Thanks, Clocker

You're obviously correct that they're not. However, both are excessive, un-necessary and do more to stroke the owner's ego rather than provide any real value. Since the Vette is 1/2 the price I'd say it wins in that regard though..unless it's a money spending contest, which the Audi wins.

When it's a car that heavy, it just needs the two turbos to be that fast & fun. Nothing really needs a turbo but if I were spending $100K I would expect at least two, no matter how big the base engine is. :) Reason being..I'm spending $100K. And by the way, it better be delivered by that...

Nice car. For $100K, I think I'll pass. I'd prefer a base 2014 C7 for 1/2 the price that handles better, is available with a real manual transmission, doesn't need two turbos, gets 29MPG highway and is within ~0.1s 0-60.........and then use the $50K left over to fund my son's 529 plan. :)

I meant Coug. Anyway, pretty ballsy *if* your spending their electricity without their consent.

So you use your employer's computers/electricity to fold?

I watched Book of Eli last night. Definitely worth the 35m it took to download the 12GB file from Tweaknews.

Just started watching Falling Skies from season 1 on. I really like it. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falling_Skies

Thanks for everything you do for us, Handy!

The concept has been around for quite a while at least on many GM vehicles that I know of. Not all that familiar with the 'Vette system but, IIRC, voltage is applied to the shock absorbers to dynamically change the damping value of the shocks some hundreds of times per second. I believe the...

Starts at just under $52K. Good value for what it does and the advancements over the previous model, IMO. http://www.gminsidenews.com/forums/f70/2014-corvette-stingray-starts-51-995-a-117994/

So glad you are past a very rough patch! Hang in there you are past the worst of it. :-)

Ours was only 6lb 6oz when born but he was about 21" too, iirc, so don't worry too much....... I mean. They usually lose a bit after leaving their paradise.

We had to deal with jaundice too. After bringing ours home we had to take him back to the hospital for tests and we had to let him stay over night under the tanning lights with the goggles on. Rough night but his levels got back to acceptable levels after about a day. It's 2 only 6lb 6oz...

Congrats on the girl & Good Luck! Let's see her! Are you keeping a poop & pee & eat log? Oh the days! ;) I can relate to the zombie-like tiredness. Still remember one time when I woke up and took Brendan into his room to change him on the changing table and then realizing that this doesn't...

I'm also really liking Vikings on History Channel.

Dolphin Browser has been giving me trouble on my tablet a lot lately, not loading up anything for some pages. Chrome seems to work better.

That's odd. Working fine for me. It is a TV network website. Weird.

I recently discovered this show and am really enjoying it. Playing catchup using SickBeard. http://www.cwtv.com/shows/arrow/

Excellent!

So far so good with the new batteries!

After getting the PC back to my Dad's house I was confounded. The scanners that were run definitely found some stuff & cleaned it out. Java was uninstalled and the ad blockers were in place. We then went to reproduce the problem he had before....selecting about 10 email messages in his WLM...

I must say I thought Avast was nice and a butt-saver. But I decided to go with NOD32 because I understand that it is lighter on system utilization than the others. My parent's system is just an original Sandy Bridge G620 2.6Ghz.

Yeah I just got the plain old A/V one. Two PCs for Two Years, $75. Not great but not a terrible price. Didn't feel like shopping it around it is too late.

All cleaned up. Thanks guys. There were a few things on there that the boot scan cleaned out. Then Malwarebytes was able to find some other stuff. I took the opportunity to buy a double pack of NOD32 6.0...one for me and one for my parents.

What's the best AV program I should install for them? The Comcast/Norton program obviously was not doing the job. :(

Thanks again sir!

Awesome. Thanks! I tried to boot into safe mode yesterday tapping f8 during Boot up but I wasn't getting the normal menu I would expect to see. Is there a new trick?

The day after he/she comes open up a 529 for some tax advantage. Good luck and best wishes!

Howdy- My dad is having some issues with his Win7 Home 64-bit computer. He uses IE (WAS using, I mean). Somewhat randomly when he goes to enter a website address new windows start popping up to the point where the PC is un-usable. They are just blank IE windows. He has Norton AV installed...

I have the 50" version of the Panasonic TC-P55ST50. It gets really good reviews and I can say I really love mine. Really love the built in ability to play movies I download via ethernet (or wireless but wired works better for 12GB Blu-ray MKV's).

I can see ton's have papers have been written and a foundation for a breakthrough is being built. I was just wondering if something like 'because of the work of F@H, a cure for X-disease was able to be developed'. I certainly don't intend to take anything away from the project. I was just...

Have there been any significant breakthroughs, attributable to F@H , that have led to something of useful to society to warrent the expense you guys have incurring over the years? Or is it just for "fun" ?

If the sound is real in the video, the Ferrari sounds absolutely intoxicating.
