@comics0026: Those are very helpful tools, but cannot prevent 100% of issues. You may have accidentally run some silent malware that was used to drop XP Antispyware onto your system and you didn't find out until later. Other common vectors include compromised PDFs, USB sticks, removable drives, auto-play for any…

@comics0026: I think these things typically spread because of a combination of things.

@KTK1990: I think you'd like the free version of Syncback in that case. It'll optimize the mirroring, be much less intrusive, and allow for scheduled copies, if you want it.

I have two related things to say on this:

Creative Vado HD (up to 1280x720) video camera with 8GB memory available at Costco online for $99.99, down $50.

I may be jumping into the alligator pit here but I'm surprised at the level of antipathy. Excessively loud exhausts are obviously a public nuisance. If I can hear your car from 1/2 a mile away you are pissing off a lot of people in a mile diameter circle.

This is a .Net application, I think. That explains the ultra-slow startup. I like the idea, but I wish that more people would write these apps like they did in the old days, minus all the bloated frameworks.

Bet you this turns out to be the 2nd best selling Panamera, behind the S.

This has been pretty standard forever, I think. It's how you cancel any drag operation that you've decided not to go through with. Saves you having to hit ctrl+z after a botched file move.

Glad to see Nir getting some love. Some great utilities. Be sure to go to the [nirsoft.net] site and not the other similarly named sites as they're generally bogus.

OK, so the passwords were completely lame but the user names probably were not so it's still not a trivial task to compromise an account, as long as the servers are resistant to repeated login failures (e.g. lock accounts for 24 hours after 3 successive failed attempts).

@gearhead_318: That's not the paint color, it's a vinyl wrap.

@bugattatra: V8 with TT will destroy the V10 model on torque, cost, weight, emissions, mpg. On pretty much all fronts actually, except noise and redline rpm, I'd imagine.

Netflix needs to supplement its family member control aka 'Profile' solution. I don't want to devote one movie at a time to my kids nor do I want to use a different sign-in or a different queue to manage their movies but I *do* want to be able to restrict the watch instantly list on my Wii to just the movies that I…

I'm assuming that the computer's cost is actually subsidized by the various companies whose software is preloaded. A certain percentage of users will try this software and subsequently buy it. Thus, I hope, on average the computer is cheaper than it would otherwise be, albeit stuffed with annoying time-limited…

Tragic all around. Obviously a huge mistake by the teen driver though — driving drunk, failing to recognize the proximity of the speeding cop car, and then turning into the path of an oncoming vehicle.

In unrelated news, the Columbus Town Center Mall is reporting that Ned Ryerson, who plays one of its 'Santa Experience' reindeer, did not show up for work today.

@Steve_in_NC: Buy (UK-based) Car and/or Evo magazine. Expensive but worth it.

The front-end designers must really, really hate that they are so confined by the legacy of the ridiculous Bugatti grille.
