    Is this too Far

    "How did the school discover that one of its students dared to tweet an offending word during the middle of the night? Simple: Garrett High School's computer system actively tracks the social media presence of its students. Because the student logged on to his account during school hours, the...

    Spoiled, Overpaid Babies

    Some of the fans also have a tendency to go overboard in seeking the elusive signed ball/card/photo. I think it was Paul Newman that was asked for an autograph once...while taking a wizz. After that, he refused to sign any. Don't most major sports teams have a Fan Appreciation Day?

    Spoiled, Overpaid Babies

    Not to defend the real a-holes, but a good portion of these celebrities think, and for good reason, that anything they sign is going to end up being sold. I had several famous autographs when I was a kid in the 60's/70's, the idea of selling them never crossed my mind. Of course, the outlets for...

    DOJ: We can force you to decrypt that laptop

    True, but they would need time. A 256-bit-key AES requiring 2200 operations (compared to 2256 possible keys) would still take far longer than the age of the universe to complete

    DOJ: We can force you to decrypt that laptop

    I would think that "Innocent until proven guilty" would be enough. For example, simply because I have "Nothing to hide" isn't enough to compel me to give up my safe combination.

    DOJ: We can force you to decrypt that laptop

    Should the court be able to force people to provide passwords for encrypted data that may be self-incriminating? http://news.cnet.com/8301-31921_3-20078312-281/doj-we-can-force-you-to-decrypt-that-laptop/

    Fyi lenovo sucks!!!

    Jason, is your system still usable after getting the error? mom.exe is part of the ATI Catalyst Control Center. Many of the threads I found on the subject say to do what you just did, uninstall and re-install. At this point it would seem like bad hardware. When Lenovo comes out you should have...

    Fyi lenovo sucks!!!

    Jason, I found your posts on the Microsoft Answers forum. After reading posts in other forums, I think what is happening is after the Lenovo driver is loaded, Windows Update is downloading and installing it's own ATI driver. I've had issues in the past with video and network drivers from...

    Fyi lenovo sucks!!!

    I lock down our desktop systems by not allowing admin rights to the office workers, and the shop floor workers can't even change the wallpaper. I fully reload Windows on every desktop system we order. set up a custom default user profile, and I automated the build process so the system is joined...

    Fyi lenovo sucks!!!

    We gave our V.P of Operations a Dell Lattitude E6420 last month. Seems like a solid laptop, looks good. A few weeks ago he had to travel to one of our other plants. He used the laptop during his flight, but when he got to his hotel, the Dell was dead. When he got back, I ran diagnostics and the...

    Fyi lenovo sucks!!!

    Sorry to hear that Pyro, I agree though, Lenovo's SUCK. They come with so much bloatware it's ridicules. I do IT support at a printed circuit board mfg. and we have some highly specialized equipment that only 1 vendor can supply, and they supply it with Lenovo PC's, straight off the shelf...

    Dad Shoots Laptop

    No Pyro, he certainly didn't try it again, and the funny thing, after witnessing my brothers shoveling. My sister and I never tried it either.

    Dad Shoots Laptop

    When we were kids, my older brother snuck my dads car out for a joy ride one winter night, and got it stuck in a snowed in cul-de-sac. When my dad found this out, he grabbed the snow shovel and took all us kids to the car. My sister and I got in the back seat while my dad warmed up the car, as...

    Dad Shoots Laptop

    Hmmm, I wonder if I posted a video of me disabling my kids user accounts on their laptops, blocking access to the internet for the laptops MAC address, and and putting their laptops in the trunk of my car and bringing them to work where they stayed until I determined it was OK for them to have...

    Gun Purchases

    I don't know how accurate or up to date the DB is, but I would think just showing the seller that your able to check his merchandise with your web enabled smart phone would weed out a lot of the bad ones. http://www.firearmsfax.com/

    The USGS disagrees, but what do they know compared to experts like Australian real estate developer Ken Madson. http://www.usgs.gov/newsroom/article.asp?ID=2827&from=rss_home http://vulcan.wr.usgs.gov/Projects/Emissions/gerlach_bio.html
