@shanebotwin: $25? How did you come up with that amount? As far as coffee goes, I think you should switch to decaf.

@Manly_McBeeferton: I like the cut of your jib, sir.

@TheFu: [www.blackviper.com] is a good reference to help you decide which services you can safely shut down.

@Jason: AFAIK, the concept is the thief who steals a portable GPS from the car and not someone who has your car and house keys, etc.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around this GPS thing. Why is a GPS owner's house a particularly lucrative target for a thief?

I hope this reflects on his actual bill. Comcast will tell you *anything* to sign you up or get you to stay. I've heard good things about their customer retention department but I have no idea how he instantly connected to an online CSR who wasn't missing a few chromosomes.

@jmontana: "The vast majority of users should never disable the pagefile or mess with the pagefile settings—just let Windows deal with the pagefile and use the available RAM for file caching," I think that he means that most people will be fine if you let Windows allocate the page file size.

@IzelT: He says as much if you watch the video to the end.

They said, sorry NO, but you can purchase our *new* version! Sorry no, you can go to hell - JKDefrag all the way. You can also use a free GUI…

It looks as pretentious as the name Ian Michael Smith sounds. It does look pretty nice though. Just pullin' your chain Ian Michael.

I've been using Trillian since 2000'sh. The only thing I'm not so hot on is the default skin for Astra but the included Trillian Cobalt skin is spot on for me (makes it look like the old style Trillian more or less).

@Christopher Yeong: I had this same issue and fixed it by adding a new boolean string to about:config

@addicuss: Hello, pleased to make your acquaintance.

@DiscoZombie: The guy who runs that site, Steve Gibson hosts a computer-security podcast on the weekends with Leo Laporte. Informative stuff for the layman, like myself. [www.twit.tv]

@undefined: From what I understand, most Intel CPU's are only really good at detecting when the core has reached TJ max, or the temp at which the CPU starts to throttle itself.
