  2. Win7 sooo sloooowww

    Sorry it took so long to get back to you, it's bee a crazy, busy (fun) holiday weekend. :lol:

    It is indeed F-Secure creating the logjam. Everything works as expected when it's disabled.

    Now, I can't seem to find the Add-on in FF to disable. Nor can we find anything in IE. (with F-secure enabled)

    Perhaps you can post the path to it for us?

    FireFox or IE... wireless or hardwired... Drivers updated. Sony Vaio, dual core, 2 gigs RAM. F-Secure Security Suite.

    Both browsers take near forever to load and sites, like forums, opening boards and threads is very slow.

    While waiting for the DVD... We did an "upgrade" install over Vista.

    Having done all we can do, we plan on a full install as soon as the disk gets here.

    I've been dual booting the BETA for a long time on my XP machine with no problems concerning speed. This machine is comparable to the Sony in hardware.

    Any ideas out there on what's going on?

    You bet they don't care what they foist on us... I've never seen a gub'ment program that didn't blow the budget and be full of fraud and misuse. The "DC Nannies" cannot do anything right.

    These sort of things prove it:

    It's been an ugly few years for the United States Postal Service.

    The quasi-government agency announced this week that it lost $3.8 billion in the most recent fiscal year, which ended September 30th. It also delivered less mail - 26 billion fewer pieces less, a nearly 13 percent drop from the previous year. The bad news follows losses totaling $7.8 billion in 2007 and 2008.

    The Postal Service, as it is quick to point out, is legally prohibited from taking tax dollars. But in order to stay afloat, the agency has been actively borrowing from the U.S. Treasury: At last count, according to Postal Service spokeswoman Yvonne Yoerger, it owes the government $10.2 billion.

    Federal law dictates that the Postal Service can borrow up to $3 billion per year - but the debt cannot grow beyond $15 billion. That means that while the agency, which had revenues of $68.1 billion last year, could potentially borrow another $3 billion in 2010, it will soon no longer be able to legally borrow billions from the government.

    Meanwhile, the Postal Service is estimating that without significant changes, it will lose another $7.8 billion in the coming year - and deliver another 11 billion fewer pieces of mail.

    Which raises the question: Could the Postal Service be doomed?

    Not for profit? You bet! But in the red at the taxpayers expense? Shouldn't happen.

    Well, I'd take issue with the Post Office being broken. The butt of jokes, sure, but all my letters get delivered and I receive all my mail, and at a reasonable cost.

    The takeover of the health care industry is a done deal as far as I can tell, might as well get used to it. <_<

    Sure the USPS is good... for us. They still lost over a billion this year. I'd call that broken... This article also failed to mention Amtrak.

    No problem, the taxpayer will continue to prop up all of Washington's failures. Think about it, the bigger gub'ment gets the smaller your paycheck gets... But not to worry, Auntie Pelosi, and Uncles Franks and Reid will take care of you.

    The U.S. Postal Service was established in 1775 - you've had 234 years to get it right; it's broke. Social Security was established in 1935 - you've had 74 years to get it right; it's broke. Fannie Mae was established in 1938 - you've had 71 years to get it right; it's broke. The "War on Poverty" started in 1964 - you've had 45 years to get it right; $1 trillion of our money is confiscated each year and transferred to "the poor"; it hasn't worked and our entire country is broke. Medicare and Medicaid were established in 1965 - you've had 44 years to get it right; they're both broke. Freddie Mac was established in 1970 - you've had 39 years to get it right; it's broke. Trillions of dollars were spent in the massive political payoffs called TARP, the "Stimulus", the Omnibus Appropriations Act of 2009.... none show any signs of working, although ACORN appears to have found a new source: the American taxpayer. And finally, to set a new record: "Cash for Clunkers" was established in 2009 and went broke in 2009! It took cars (that were the best some people could afford) and replaced them with high-priced and less-affordable cars, mostly Japanese. A good percentage of the profits went out of the country. And the American taxpayers take the hit for Congress' generosity in burning three billion more of our dollars on failed experiments. So with a perfect 100% failure rate and a record that proves that "services" you shove down our throats are failing faster and faster, you want Americans to believe you can be trusted with a government-run health care system? 20% of our entire economy? With all due respect, Are you crazy?

  15. Obama Wins Nobel Peace Prize

    BTW; I might not be around here for a few days because I am going to Detroit tomorrow and claim that I am a homeless person who has been a resident of the city for 6 months, although there are no records of that, since I have been living under a bridge, and get my $3,500.00 share of Obama's stash that they are passing out.

    Don't forget your bridge card.... ;)

    Viagra and pornography are not staples on the government's food stamp list. But authorities say a Detroit liquor store supplied them during a series of illegal deals.

    Federal prosecutors filed fraud charges this week against three people who worked at Jefferson's Liquor Palace.

    The alleged scheme worked this way: Food stamp recipients would get cash from the store in exchange for swiping larger amounts off their electronic cards. The store would then be reimbursed by the U.S. Agriculture Department.

    And in some transactions, the government says the store provided informants Viagra, liquor and porn in exchange for swiping about $2,000 off food stamp cards.

    The government says fraud at the store topped $130,000 over 2 1/2 years. The store is closed.

    Someone is turning in his grave.

    From Alfred Nobel's will, the Peace Prize should be awarded "to the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses."

    I guess he could use the cash... Michelle was in Paris *again.

    Well it's fixed. I cleared the history in FF.

    Although I didn't get a security warning from Avast... This poster did.

    Tried to log on a number of times (IE8), but my security wouldn't allow it. Said there was a "Microsoft Picture-It!" file that was being sent from HandymanWire.com... It was impossible to get past this point and get on the Web. Lasted about an hour, but now (obviously), it's all OK.

    Funny thing about Europe: They're electing more center and right-of-center candidates. Apparently they haven't yet had their guts full.

    Of leftists? :lol: I think they're very full and making the turn back to the center, because the far left is running out of "entitlements" to empower them.

    Europe’s Socialists Suffering Even in Downturn

    Europe’s center-right parties have embraced many ideas of the left: generous welfare benefits, nationalized health care, sharp restrictions on carbon emissions, the ceding of some sovereignty to the European Union. But they have won votes by promising to deliver more efficiently than the left, while working to lower taxes, improve financial regulation, and grapple with aging populations.

  23. Senate Releases Health Care Bill

    It's not every day that you hear a Democratic senator charge that a fellow Democrat is proposing to raise taxes on the middle class, but that is what happened on Tuesday when Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., ripped into the health-care bill developed by Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mt., the chairman of the Senate Finance Committee. “there is no way in its present form that I vote for it unless it changes in the amendment process by vast amounts.
    Senate Democrats are going to have to move forward on healthcare without a single Republican supporter after Sen. Olympia Snowe said Tuesday she could not back the Finance Committee’s bill.; Chairman Max Baucus (D-Mont.) failed to win any Republican backer

  24. Senate Approval For Czars?

    in World and Politics

    Posted

    Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-N.C.) on Wednesday called for President Obama's "czars," or appointed high-level advisers, to testify before Congress about their "authority and responsibilities" in the executive branch.

    The president's "czars" have become a point of controversy among his opponents because they do not have to be confirmed by the Senate as cabinet-level officials do.

    McHenry wrote to committee chairman Edolphus Towns (D-N.Y.) and ranking member Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) asking the appointed officials to testify.

    "If the czars have high-level, decision-making authority as their titles would indicate, then it is my concern that their appointment without Senate approval represents a circumvention of our Constitutionally-mandated confirmation process," McHenry, who is a member of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, said in his letter.

    "The president should suspend any future appointment of so called czars while the administration and the Congress carefully examines the background and qualifications of the more than 30 individuals who've been appointed to these czar positions," said Pence, speaking to reporters. "And the Congress ought to initiate a thorough inquiry into the constitutionality of this practice which has spanned Republican and Democrat administrations." link
