So few threads I rarely worry about marking things read. Just check for anything with a recent date to see if it is interesting or new.

I wouldn't say nuclear power is a dead end, it is one of the best and safest alternatives. If it had not been for the anti nuke movement in the seventies we would not now be so heavily reliant on coal for electric generation. In reality more radioactive elements have been spewed out by coal fired power plants than were spread by Chernobyl and Fukishima combined. Had we continued with development of thorium reactors (we had a test unit back then but it was canceled) we would have a very safe and stable source of nuclear power which does not require isotopic separation like pressurized water

At least you have a garden to work in. Here the only thing I can get to thrive and bear fruit are chili peppers. Got some Jalapenos on their third or fourth year.

Yep Happy Birthday. I don't make it by here as often as I should.

Some of you may recall that I had said at G4 that there was a solution to the problem of Nuclear waste. This process known as the Oppenheimer Phillips process or LENR (Low Energy Nuclear Reactions) was known since the fifties but only recently had the final variable in the equations been identified and solved (by US nuclear weapons researchers). Well it appears that they have actually done something with it. http://coldfusionnow.org/transmutes-radioactive-wastes-now-u-s-navy-and-lenr-energy/ Implications? I see this as a potential break through for Nuclear Power generation. First, it

http://www.im-infected.com/virus/urlmal-virus.html URL:Mal virus is a generic detection for malicious URL or web page. The detection of URL:Mal covers web site that is infected with virus, Trojan, and other types of malware. The same will also pop-up if a harmful Java Script file is spotted on the web site. This detection by Avast Antivirus that recognizes risky web site warns computer user in advance. It impedes the malware from infecting the computer. Thus, URL:Mal represents the dangerous web address and not the type of virus that exists on that location. Generally when you get this i

Hope you have fun and did not get rained out. I hear they had a bunch of rain in some areas.

Hope the leg is getting better. Belated birthday wishes.

He had a clearance in order to know about and work with this information. That means he signed a non disclosure agreement and was warned of the consequences of disclosing any classified material. There are paths available if he felt that the program was doing anything illegal, but they do not include disclosing classified material to the public or foreign nationals. He committed the crime of espionage and deserves to be punished to the fullest extent of the law. The activities of the NSA were approved by Congress when they passed the Patriot act and followup legislation. They were approved

Modern and clean. At first I wondered if I was not logged in or something, then I realized things had been updated. Good job on a smooth transition. Might have to change my "no squint" settings as it seems that some of the layout sizes changed. Looks like 120% zoom with 100% text blows out. Gonna change them to 100% and 150% text zoom. Yes much better there. Works out perfectly for me at 100% page zoom with 150% text zoom. I like the "recent" section on the upper right. Makes it simple to check what's up. Nice job.

Well with government austerity and cutbacks they cannot afford the experts they need to solve crimes like this. It is good to know that Microsoft stepped up and took on the burden and that the FBI was willing to accept the help.

Microsoft says that rumors of non backward compatability are false rumors designed to impact their sales. They also said that the rumors of single install are also false. Remember they still have competition and do not want to alienate loyal fans.

My condolences for your loss. Few people live to 93, hope she gave you some tips From the few people that old I know I think the most important thing is staying mentally active and having a hobby to occupy your free time. Interestingly few of them seem to watch much TV, but that may well be due to their early years being TV free. Good to see you still around. Have a nice day.

Okay, often when you have a problem uninstalling something the simplest fix is to download and install it again, then uninstall it. This way damaged or missing registry entries and install logs needed by the uninstaller are present. The other possibility is that it was indeed uninstalled but the uninstall entry is still there. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310750 I normally just use Add / Remove programs cleaner http://download.cnet.com/Add-Remove-Program-Cleaner/3000-2096_4-10572853.html Cautionary note, use this on programs that have been removed or where the entry is causing a problem

BS. They must include Whore as a profession since I keep getting invitations to join sent by an ex-girlfriend from my younger wilder days.

Other than avoiding total crap ones, My advice is that whatever you buy it is obsolete before you get out the door. So don't sweat it too much, get what does what you need on your budget. Do not overlook "refurbished" units, they are in general unused units, which a major retailer did not sell before the new model came out. They are then returned to the manufacturer for credit on the next shipment of the new model. Under Federal law, they can no longer be sold as new. They must be unboxed, inspected, tested (and this means every one, unlike new units where you are lucky if one in a hundred

Remember the Steve Martin movie "The Jerk" where he invents a thing called "The Opti Grab" which messes up everyones vision (makes them all cross eyed) Hmm, can't get insert media link to work Okay that was it, just had to close the tab with the link chuck posted. Odd. No that is an idea, people could start posing in various locations with their eyes crossed, they could call it "Jerking"

Can't help you there. I have not used Youtube to upload any of my vids (I really should) I put them on Photobucket. There is a guy who does great stuff with a GO PRO HD and posting them on Youtube on the Dogsnharmony site I belong to. I know a couple folks there who always seem to post short videos, but he does some really long impressive edits with fades and music and all.

Hi Dragon. Who were you on G4? Most of the OT crew is hanging out at Mike's (Mlegg) forums, the more tech oriented folks hang out here. There are a couple of other forums started by AOTS and Xplay fans.

Ditto that, I am glad to see he passed away at the hospital and did not die alone in his cabin. After the last time (when he was discovered unconscious in his arm chair by the UPS man) I worried that he would die alone and they would discover the body months later. He was a very private person who was married to his career. If I recall correctly he was a diabetic (which explains the coma incident, low blood sugar or high). I signed the guestbook.

So it looks like you took videos of the camera with what?

The reality is that the North Korean internet has very limited connectivity to the outside world. They do not want anyone , government trained computer specialists included, finding out what the outside world really is. The last big "hacker attack by the North Koreans" against some South Korean banks turned out to be that they were running a free version of AVG and had not updated it in months and they caught a virus when an employee was surfing porn on company time and it spread throughout the network.

I would try the icebox method Remove old drive Do a clean install on new drive Take old drive and place it in an external enclosuer. Place this in a zip lock bag with a cooler gel pack, small slits to let the power and data cable through seal with duct tape. Place in freezer overnight. Then connect it to your computer, and copy what you can to a "recovery" folder on your new drive. You can worry about taking possession of etc later.
