DEFINATELY not a positive career move:

Yet again a company spends millions on a copy protection scheme that a 10 year can beat in 15 seconds... LOL!

WTF is THAT all about? A waste of brain power that could be better spent watering a lawn somewhere....

A friend has been VERY insistent that I watch the Osbornes. Since the 1st season just started repeating it was a good time to get into it. I thought he was on crack - I HATE reality shows. Moreover, WTF do I care what Ozzie Osborne and family do at home. Watched my first episode last night. Oh man, ...

SmartFTP is a very good and full-featured FTP client: http://www.smartftp.com/

It even does some things that WS_FTP doesn, like show hidden server files.

Never heard of them. I'll have to look into that. I personally use McAfee but only because it's completely transportable and can be run from DOS. Since I do service work, it's invaluable for me to be able to just copy the McAfee DOS engine folder to a CD-R every week and then I can scan a client's s...

That made me dizzy.....

Hey Phreid, what motherboard monitor you running? That's neat and clean.

Ditto. Go to Compaq's website and download ALL the Win98 drivers for your laptop. They're pretty good about posting drivers.

Then install Win98SE clean on your system. You'll need to have all the drivers unzipped and ready on a CD.

Yes. It's still listed if you do all the critical updates.

I read a bit on it and it seems that the COM+ update is actually a POST-SP2 (or PRE-SP3) update.

It's not security related - it's mostly compatibility related.

I have mixed feelings about piracy myself. Like most of you, I certainly know of sites where I can find pirated software, cracks, serials, etc. NEVER THE LESS, the fact is that THIS IS STEALING. You can rationalize it all you want to, but piracy is theft of a publisher's property. Here's a good exam...

PHREID; You said it's not detected in Ghost, but does BIOS detect it? I've had situations where Ghost won't see it for a variety of reasons, but the drive is detected in BIOS. If BIOS sees it it's probably not DOA. Make sure it's jumpered right - not sure about Seagate but WDC drives have a DIFFEREN...

Hmmm. I checked both McAfee and Symantec a couple of times last week and didn't see them.

This one was updated on Friday apparently.

AHHH!! been waiting for a Klez toolkit! Thanks Doc! I checked on Friday but they must have posted it after I checked.

That should help. It's TEDIOUS doing it manually.

Predator: MY EYES! MY EYES!!!! TURN IT DOWN!!!!!

Man, how can you look at a mostly white screen like that? It would kill me....

I hope they find the guy who wrote this and string him up. Damn thing is a MAJOR pain to remove. Thankfully it doesn't do much irreperable damage, but all we need now is some script kiddie to make a nastier version if this guy shares his work. Yeah, I know I make money off of virus removal jobs, but...
