that depends on how many times they log in, if someone only logs into their bank account once then you wont find it to be so highly repeated it would be better if there was a word filter that will highlight text that doesn't spell anything (most user names and passwords are just random letters and numbers that don't really spell anything)

it sucks that there moving to USB. it is a waste of a usb port, and keyboard are not high bandwidth enough to require a a USB connection PS/2 FTW

your still paying for a GUI as you also have to pay for updates. a gui is good to have though. why go through typing lots of confusing commands just to do 1 thing when the same thing could be done with a single click

PS if you have been thinking about getting the new spiderman game, don't (I tried it on my pc and it lagged like crazy and crashed a lot) crysis on medium settings looks much better than the spiderman web of shadows game and runs smooth I then tried it on my friends computer, he has a 8800gt , and he can run crysis on high settings with no problem, it lagged a bit for him also and during the entire laggy moment, on both of our pcs, the game only uses 40-50% cpu usage fall out 3 can max out with no problem and looks good on both systems and also doesn't use full cpu usage, around 60-70% the only game that lags more than spiderman on both of our pcs is second life PS while disabling items wont magically make a game that lagged like crazy, suddenly run smooth but is will give you a few extra FPS which can mean the diffeence between "omg wtf how can something lag this much" to "it lags but at least it is still playable" as you can see even from my benchmark, it only made a slight performance difference but still every bit counts :)

wont help, it may even slow you down if you can even find a way to do it the best thing you can do is use starter http://www.softpedia.com/get/Tweak/System-...k/Starter.shtml and disable all unneeded startup items and services after that, get a copy of autoruns http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinte...s/bb963902.aspx then further strip down the startup of pre boot items then after that just manually clean up the registry and further disable useless parts of windows (after doing this, you should get around a 14-17 second bootup to get the the desktop and have all loading 100% done (worked for me and really helps with gaming, and also keeps windows from using more than 80MB memory at startup, which leaves a lot for running your apps) (the less resources windows uses on it's self, the more there wil be available to run your other apps and games (and you get a noticible performance boost ) PS even if you can get the latency low enough, the network interface is far too low bandwidth to handle all of the info being tent back and forth windows with around 12 running processes http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/4412/clipboard3kk7.jpg windows with around 27-30 running processes (mainly the stock stuff that comes with windows xp pro and avg antivirus ) http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/694/clipboard4vm3.jpg most new games barely use full cpu usage though, there mostly GPU and memory intensive but prioritize the videocard over memory and cpu as it is often the first to bottleneck connecting multiple systems together also introduces a performance overhead. when you connect 2 pcs together, even if there the same speed, if you share a maya render task between both of them, it wont double the speed, it may give you around a 60-70% boost and the higher the bandwidth needed, the larger the overhead gets. it is also probably why SLI with 2 videocards only gives yo around a 30% performance boost

not sure about the card but I have seen a few people with a asus A8V motherboard have gotten the agp version of the 3850 and it worked fine for them I have a asus a8v and I am planning on also getting a 3850 (not ready to go for a new motherboard, cpu, and memory just for a videocard upgrade because my current opteron 170 overclocked system is doing just fine and it handles the latest games, my 6800 is just a major bottle neck ) while I have not herd much about the 3650, it should be similar to the 3850, just slower when I looked into the 3850 and the a8v, I noticed a few complaints about some games crashing for no reason and many of them blame it on asus being lazy with their drivers or their bios, but I have no way of telling if it is because of their computer setup or if it is really a compatibility problem and there also many others who say their a8v and 3850 works with no problem

a old version of ubuntu back around late 2004, used it for a day or 2 then got frustrated with how much command line work it took to do simple things that I was used to doing with a few clicks in windows so I stuck with windows, and after a while I just used ubuntu live cds once in a while to run apps required a linux os

for standard hard drives, it is hard to tell if it does anything bad, the platters have a seemingly unlimited read/ write cycles, but the rest of the drive does go through some ware and tare when reading and writing which a disk defrag does a lot of but a heavily fragmented drive will require a lot more work of the actuator in the drive which also causes some ware and tare overall it is just good for improving performance but it doesn't seem to effect the life of the drive like it would with a flash drive

fragmentation has no effect on flash memory and defragging a flash drive will just use up read/write cycles and shorten the life of the drive

for me I don't really have much of a problem with it since when they use the ad products like the beer in the show, they keep it on the table with the logo showing, now if they plastered ad logo over the actual important content in the show then that would be different but as it is now, they are just making use of empty set space

thinking about it but not sure if it will work unless i get a good amount of evidence so it wont just be my word against their word

the problem happens when either USPS is used or DHL is used many online shopping sites will use them and these companies tend to leave stuff by your front door and the company with the worst rep of leaving stuff outside is USPS and to make things worse. DHL uses usps to complete the deliveries

I will have to find a way to set up one of my old pcs and position the webcam in away where they wont notice it but it will get a good look at their face i'm in New York (one of the worst states in the country ) and it gets worst each year

it is most likely a hoax or a scam no one will waste money of the overpriced thing and if they did, they would be too ashamed to admit it while the concept is good, adding a GUI to the free apps that do the cracking because command line can be pretty annoying especially when the same thing can be done with a single click (main reason why windows has a larger user base than linux) but it is a major waste of money to pay for a GUI

why cant any of the beer companies try their own products so they can see how bitter their beer is, I guess they never herd of quality control by law soda companies are required to double check the quality of each batch of the product they make sure the item is of the proper quality so it doesn't wind up tasting bitter like beer I tried a sip of beer before and it was so bitter i'm not sure how people force them self to drink it if you want an alcoholic drink, why not add a little bit of alcohol to your favorite sods that way you get the alcohol with out having to suffer through the taste of beer

based on the controls it would make a great device you modding and installing a proper os on it so it can be used kinda like a laptop the processor may not be very fast but it is enough to run many linux distros and also run windows xp if someone can find a way to get it to run it only problem is the price

Don't you hate those companies which send people over to every house in the city and stick those ads over the door knob of your house? it is getting annoying because not only do they block the keyhole with those door knob ads, they also steal things this is the 5th package this year that has been stolen by them it is hard to tell which company does it as i get about 7 of these ads each day stuck to the door by the time I get home from school but it seems that when these people come to the door, they will help them self to any packages left outside by usps while I understand that the amazon and ebay did nothing wrong and since many sellers use USPS. USPS tends to leave packages that fit through the mail slot, by the front door of the house the problem with this is that it makes the package very easy to steal this morning I did a test since i didn't have class today, I took a old package, then put some garbage in it then sealed it up then left it outside by the front door. then checked on it ever 1-2 hours and at around 11AM i met 3 ads on the door (a pizza ad, a ad from some roofing company, and one of those generic ads that offers to buy your house) and the box was gone why doesn't the government do things to prevent this. make it illegal for anyone who is not of a large delivery company, or post office worker or anyone who doesn't have government permission to go into the yard with out the owners permission these people are annoying. our screen door has the glass panel instead of the mesh all year round because these people broke the last 2 that we had by shoving the ads through the mesh (when they happens they will just dump lots of ads through the torn mesh (and again it is hard to see which company to blame because there will be many different ads from many different companies ) isn't there any way to keep them from coming into the yard while still allowing post office workers to still deliver mail? it is nearly impossible to get all package deliveries to require a signature and when there left outside, they end up being stolen now I have to check at my door constantly today and tomorrow because Newegg has become stupid by using DHL which leaves packages outside anyway but now when ever newegg uses DHL for items that offer free shipping, you also get this in the tracking info, which makes the tracking useless "TENDERED TO USPS" which means instead of the dhl person knocking on the door to check if anyone is home before leaving the package on the step, you will have a usps worker who just secretly leaves the package outside

http://timesunion.com/AspStories/story.asp?storyID=732745 while the student could have explained the security problem better to make him sound less malicious, he would have been better off not saying anything at all to the school the law being quick to punish people trying to help has really made networking and the world a less safe place when crimes happen on the street, people are less likely to report it as the government and the laws has gotten to be in such a way that reporting a crime automatically makes you a suspect and can land you in a lot of hot water. or in the case of network security, people with good intentions are less likely to offer help because they will get punished with a number of felonies so now a days the often scenario is that a non malicious user will discover a security problem but will remain silent as reporting it to the company will just land that user in jail. so they remain silent and after some time the company finds out about the security hole by noticing that someone stole a lot of confidential information no good deed goes unpunished so just keep quiet if your not good friends with IT

ebay is ok but they need to better control how items are sold. they need to make a requirement form where users have to list specific info 90% of the good deals on ebay are scams that lead people on and hidden in the description is something like, order now and I will send you a email containing a wholesale list where you can buy this item while it cant fool me, it is annoying because it makes trying to find real items nearly impossible it is just product spam ebay needs to make a form where the user lists what they get when they order the item the condition of the item (as currently users can leave it blank ) the shipping should be done automatically be ebay where the user is only able to either select free shipping, or select the shipping service of their choice from the drop down list that way users cant price gouge with shipping they also need to fix the commenting system and allow users to remove comments and ratings it is annoying when you order an item, the shipping is slow but you give the seller the benefit of the doubt and give them a positive review then they don't give you any feedback in return, we should be allowed to remove our feedback also (they don't leave any feedback for us then we should have the right to remove out feedback for them ) ebay needs to also make return policies mandatory (it doesn't mean they have to accept returns, they just need to post their policy instead of leaving the field blank ebay also needs make a extra form thats an agreement that basically tells the seller that they confirm that the description is accurate and that if the buyer receives the wrong item or an item that doesn't match the description that the item will have to be returned at the sellers expense and the buyer have their purchase price and shipping refunded

thats why if mac is right for you then just build a windows based gaming pc with better specs for half the price then use the modded installer to get leopard installed and you will get the joy of leopard and the affordable high performance hardware of a gaming pc

flight simulator x is a lot of fun when you mod the planes a bit so you can make them more controllable. nothing like doing cool stunts with a 747 with out modding the planes, many of the planes have crappy controls. it is nearly impossible to do a barrel roll with a 747 and forget about doing a backflip where you pull up. and once you hit 90 degrees, reduce the thrust from the engines then when you aim down go full thrust again

the mac os cost $100 (much cheaper than xp pro and much much much cheaper than vista ) based on logic, the macbooks should be cheaper than windows based laptops as there using the same hardware and a cheaper OS you get a much shorter warranty than with almost any other company. ( many of the parts i used to build my main pc have at least a 5 year warranty ) apple is quick to drop support for their old os. look at how old windows xp is but every single new app will work on it but look at the mac os, when ever a new version of the os comes out, you have to buy it in order to run new apps that came out after the new os did for example. most games, (look at the requirements for spore ) this brings most mac fanboys into the habit of going crazy over the latest macbook pro, when ever a new one comes out, you see a whole bunch of people go crazy over getting it, but when a new windows based laptop comes out, you don't really notice it until you feel a need for a new laptop because your not forced into upgrading the new os that comes out every year a more cost effective thing would be getting a windows based laptop or windows based desktop pc that has the same specs for half the price then go through the annoying seemingly endless steps in order to install it (because of apples annoying DRM ) (just find it annoying why they cant make the steps completely automated, if they can put the steps in a text file then why not just make an installer to do all of the steps for you)

while you can get a used mac book pro for a ok price. if you go with a windows based laptop, you will get better hardware specs for your money and you wont be forced up upgrade to a new OS each year like with the mac os where when ever a new os comes out, all new programs require the latest mac os (especially with games) PS if you go with a used laptop from a online store or ebay, be sure to go with one with a return policy haven't had much experience with getting used laptops but I have seen a few of my friends get used monitors and the main reason why lcd monitors get sold as used is due to either dead pixels or dirt in between the lcd and the backlight layer, or backlight bleeding

I wish there was a way to get it working with firefox 3 been working on it also but still no luck with getting the grabber to work hopefully someone will get it to work with firefox 3 and also fix the grabbing feature where if the song goes further than 60-70% then it will grab the next song instead of the current song

for me torrents are really fast, much faster than normal downloads just make sure you have all the correct ports forwarded including the listening port in utorrent also make sure you set the number of connections utorrent can make to the limit of your router. some routers can handle 100 connections and others can only handle 30 if it makes too many, it will lag everything and the torrents will go slow thats why some people have problems with the web browsing going really slow when their torrent downloads are barely going 20KB/s (eve though their connection can do well over 500KB/s ) benchmark your router and find out the max it can take also setup the QOS to lower the priority of your torrent traffic so it doesn't slow your connection down for other tasks torrents can go fast but if they add filtering, it will slow the network down so much that no one will get a stable speed it will force isps to increase the cost of the service in order to upgrade their crap, and knowing isps, there always quick to increase prices with out increasing bandwidth (comcast for one )
