    I had some visitors this morning...

    We freaked a little when we got the first notice that they would come at 2am to arrest him. My former step-father was a constable so I know they do actually come at 2am. Fortunately for us he isn't a big enough criminal to warrant a 2am wakeup call. Strange thing is the sheriff didn't ask for...

    I had a visitor this morning... the Sheriff. He was looking for the prior resident of my house who lived there over a year and a half ago. He has missed a few court dates.

    NAV

    There are nasty viruses that disable NAV and others. So if one of those got on the machine, there is your problem. But my vote was for NAV sucks. Use NOD32 and be happy.

    Nope but the guy at Lowe's was when we bought our cabinets and countertop for the new kitchen. Sucks to be him. They were open normal business hours too. Crazy I tell you, crazy.

    New Firefox out

    Yes there was a thread about it on the mozillazine forums. Let me see if I can remember... delete your extensions or something like that. So if you've uninstalled (and taken the program directory with it) and move your profile you should be good if you then do an install. It will start with a...

    New Firefox out

    There was a list of bugs in the forums at mozillazine before they went down. I looked through them but I forget most of them (only about 6 of them). It has an updated default theme versus 0.9. There was an extension manager bug, a top crash (website that crashes firefox), and some javascript fix...

    [NEWS] - Firefox 0.9 out

    Because it is the one thing you didn't mention trying ;) Look at the forums over at mozillazine.org Maybe in Firefox General or FireFox Support. They might have seen the problem before.

    What type of web server is it? Apache? Search for .htaccess on the internet. You basically create a file in the directory you want to protect with the list of users and their passwords.

    Shredders

    Got any recommendations under $100? I had one that I bought for like $25 or something. It was at least cross cut and 5 sheet capacity. It started leaking a yellowish substance which I assume was the lubricant and then it just seized one day and stopped working. I've got some birthday money and...

    Cheap Laser Printer Recommendations?

    Well I just took the plunge and bought the Okidata B4200 from newegg. I'm was a sucker for technology marketing and I love the low cost of the consumables.

    beeps!

    Bah! It speaks of terminfo and such like. It reads like I would understand what that stuff is and how to change it. This is also a client's box, so I was hoping to be able to put some file in the home directory that would turn it off instead of messing with their terminal types directly.

    My new neighbor: The most evil man on earth

    Baby monitors are notorious for interference and being expensive for what they do. So frequency hopping and 5GHz might sound outrageous to you but to someone who has had a baby monitor and has no knowledge of frequency issues, those sound like features. At the apartment, we use to get somebody...

    Cheap Laser Printer Recommendations?

    Mostly lack of places I could find the toner at. And it costs a lot for 3000pg life. Somewhere around $80-100 dollars. While I can buy the printer at best buy they don't seem to have the toner. And staples wants something like $110 dollars. I realize the drum and toner are one in the samsung so...

    Suggestions for automating some tasks

    I started to work on a VBA solution. I'd figure I'd post it. I hit a road block in that there is no real file search capability that I could find that would give me a date option. I didn't want to code it to loop through all the files every time. Option Explicit Private Const cstrFolderP =...

    I just can't seem to bring myself to consider buying a used printer, especially from ebay. I know from personal experience the whine/quality issues associated with those HP laserjets after they've been in use for a while. Maybe they just need to be cleaned or serviced or something but I don't...

    Cheap Laser Printer Recommendations?

    Yes I'm on a budget. The reasoning behind the purchase goes like this: It will cost me at least $50 to replace the cartridges in my HP 710C just to see if it is the cartridges. For that price I can go out an buy another inkjet (lexmark at Target). But I'm tired of wasting ink in the ink...

    Cheap Laser Printer Recommendations?

    I was looking at the Samsung ML1710 as it was 199.99 - $100MIR = $99.99. But they no longer have that at Best Buy. I belive it was replaced by the ML1740 model which is $149.99, no rebate. And in the paper this week I see the Brother HL1440 for $179.99 - $30IR - $50 MIR = $99.99. So I am...

    Suggestions for automating some tasks

    Does the guy have word or excel on the machine? You could write this in a VBA script and have a button on the toolbar that starts the process. Batch File? Probably but unless you've got a good reference I think some of the things will be hard to do. Windows Scripting? This is essentially...

    Virus Infestation

    Yes back when I used mcafee it slowed down my system noticably. After a while I got sick of it and looked for alternatives and found nod32. The best thing about nod32 is its low impact on system performance. NAV isn't as bad, but I still notice it. I really don't notice nod32. You don't...

    Should Rumsfeld keep his job?

    Should Rumsfeld keep his job?

    If rumsfeld knew about it and in any way attempted to suppress the information, I think he should resign. The punishment for him should fit the crime. How much he knew and when he knew and what he did about it are all factors in a call for his resignation in my opinion. Every single person...
