a trick i learned a few years back, not sure if it still works: empty your contacts list. add one entry like this: [email protected] whatever is sending out spam will try going to your contacts list. when it hits this entry, it will return undeliverable. not sure if it will stop it anymore...

i use an old dell at work. not sure the model but it looks like this: it's really nice to type on, but it loses connection to the pc just about once per day and i have to unplug it an plug it back in. it's annoying, but i prefer it to the plasticky feel of modern keyboards.

i love how there can be a boat load of free, often unmaintained, softwares that all do the same thing but you need to have a very specific setup to run either of them and trying to match your distro, dependencies, and hardware configurations to do anything productive is so much fun ;) /sarcasm

this whole cloud thing is seriously a bad idea. they tout it around like it's the greatest thing when all your stuff is in the 'virtual' world and whatnot. but all that data still has to be somewhere physically. for one, this will give hackers and thieves a lot less but much bigger...

wow. i'm starting to think this is an issue with all ati cards. my 6870 overheats and crashes my computer just playing counter strike source. yeah. i also have an antec 900 with a side fan. don't these cards have auto fan speed? i have to manually set it every time i want to play and it's annoying.

i think you should only be responsible for the depreciated value of the laptop. that's definitely half or less. i'd imagine at a doctor conference he should have been more careful where he places his laptop and drink. who gives a damn about maturity and ethics? these are doctors. just cover...

i've never had a computer that broke down on me to the point that i had to replace it. i still have my pentium 3 machine from way back when and it still works pretty good. i don't understand how everybody says you gotta replace a machine every 3 or 5 years. that's the dumbest thing ever, that's...

we use JCreator LE for class; had a few .class & .java files there only. there's no encryption anywhere that i know of. i saved off the other stuff and put it back after a long format. personally i hate using usb drives for assignments, but she won't let us use our own machines during class...

it finished formatting ok, didn't report any problems. i do need to start backing up more often. thanks for checking it out :)

my IS instructor wasn't much help either when i showed her. i still think it was that infinite loop i wrote... lol :D at least i got those assignments graded before this happened or i would have had to rewrite all those programs in less than a week. still pretty interesting.

meh. i don't see anything in there. it could just be my usb drive has a bad sector. i was able to copy everything else off of it onto my laptop. if i do a long format, will it damage the drive, or is windows smart enough?

i was trying to open up my java program to study at work when i discovered this: i scanned it with avg, but it said it was clean. i think i inadvertently coded a infinite loop and it created this; note how it's taking up about 57GB out of my 2GB thumb drive :D the only folder...

virtual pc allows you to run virtual machines on one physical machine. each virtual machine acts as a standalone computer. you need enough resources to run all your virtual machines simultaneously. this is done mostly to test different OSs or programs without affecting your main system. you...

i print maps mostly; don't hava gps, lol also, sometimes there's the odd thing i gotta print, like tickets to a game i buy online, or the receipt to go pick up my order of hot wings that i placed online, or my class schedule. just kind of nice having a printer around.

i'm going to blow it away because i don't use it and windows 7 takes up to 2GB ram as it is. also, i can use my system drive to load more VMs. i found a 40GB drive laying around where i can load win2k8 & hyper-v and i'll have two 250GB to load VMs on. i've used virtualbox in the past but i...

not sure what you mean, but i want to set up a mock domain and internally network all the vms for a complete environment isolated from the rest of my network.

i'm going to blow away my gaming machine and use it to set up a home lab to learn windows server stuff. anybody else done this? i've been watching youtube videos but i need more basic setup instructions. so far this is the plan: use 250GB drive to install w2k8 r2 with hyper-v use 1Tb...

i dont' "own" any consoles, but i have a ps2 & ps3 readily available. i do have a psp, but i don't use it. i bought it for a road trip and haven't used it since. i'll eventually give it away to my somebody in my family, but they don't have enough brownie points yet.
