Cutlass. 442 if Pops has the extra monies. Hurst/Olds if Pops hits the Mega-Billions.

Pot, kettle... /with all due respect, of course.

Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Motorcycle Test, October 2010 (PDF link). The models they tested: 2009 BMW R 1200 RT-P 2009 BMW G650 GS-P 2009 Honda ST 1300-PA9 2010 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide 2010 Harley-Davidson Road King The results may or may not surprise you.

Probably un-friendly fire...

There's no place like ~

I've always heard that regular toothpaste (least abrasive, like Colgate, but not gel) works, or dish soap. Some folks say that spit works, but... Never had the need to try it though, usually just leave it cracked a 1/4".

HA cluster, DRS, Load Balancing, VMotion, and Storage VMotion? VSphere ftmfw...

Dibs on the Z.

...And I was posting upcoming days -- bowhunting's been open for a couple o' weeks now...

Duh - figured Kawi would know it and Justin doesn't hunt. <Everyone> knows when huntin' season starts, don't they?

Nice, clear video. Bike kinda/sorta sounds like a big block rumbling at idle (that's a good thing in my book). Now if you're done playing with your camera, get out there and clean up the damn leaves! (the parent in me takes over at times, sorry...)

Any AdBlocker running? Disable it for ORdN. That's what fixed the Highslide JS/pics issue in Chrome for me. But you're on a Mac - just use Safari?

Since I posted up a reminder last year, I feel it's my civic/forum duty to remind everyone again. Sweetest Day is today, 16 October. It's a Hallmark Holiday, you will know if you need to do anything, and it's Cleveland's fault. Last year's thread devolved into wild animal urine, hawks, MJ's former (evidently gay) boyfriend, and Lowes houseplants -- where can we go this year?

I'll rent space on my Bubba Server.

-Current hard drive gets pulled out, set aside. -Put new hard drive in PC. -Install OS, A-V on new drive. -Patch OS (on new drive). -Put old drive in enclosure, connect to PC. -Point A-V at the old drive, scan the whole thing (you could pick and choose folders/files, but easier to just do the whole thing). -Copy what you want from the old (external) drive to \My Documents (or somewhere) -Now that all the "keep" stuff is on both the old (external) and new (internal) drives, wipe out/format the old (external) drive. -Use some tool (I recommend Karen's Replicator (click)) to sync \My documents (or wherever you want to store your "stuff") between the two drives -Unless you set up a scheduled sync, disconnect the external drive from the PC when not in use - "it can't get infected if it ain't connected" (a little Johnny Cochran rhyme for you, free o' charge)

I woulda recommended it (and I think Ben did in his treatise), but it requires some work if you don't know what you're looking at. Probably quicker (and better in the long run) to start over with a fresh, patched OS.

JP: good reminder for NN and everyone else - if you're on a MS OS, protect yourself. @NN: Assuming you get a new drive and hook the old one up, point your A-V at it and scan the entire thing. I personally recommend AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition (click). It has A-V, Anti-Spyware, web browser link scanner, e-mail scanner, and a resident scanner (working in the background checking files you're using).

"Patched" = once the base OS is installed click Start, All Programs, Windows Update (or open up Internet Explorer, and click Safety, Windows Updates), select every single update available, let them all install, reboot, check again for updates. Once there aren't any more updates, you're "patched". Simply pulling the pics/movies/music/whatever off of the old drive and moving it to the new drive <shouldn't> cause any issues. It's possible that one or more pics/mp3s/whatever is infected, but unlikely. Since you won't be booting from the old drive, there won't be any "bad" services or rootkits or anything else "running" on it - it will simply be acting as a file repository. To anyone who wants to dispute this - Yes, it's <possible> for an un-booted but powered up drive to do bad things, but again, highly unlikely.

MB, RAM, and CPU are probably fine. Easiest fix: buy new HD for <$50, fresh install of whatever OS you have, patch it, put some sort of anti-virus on it, reinstall whatever progs you need. Buy an external HD enclosure for <$20, put the old drive in it. You can grab your pictures/pr0n/music off of it. ***edit: when you're sure you have everything you want off of the old drive, format it, then use it as a backup of \my documents, or wherever you store your "stuff". If/when your machine again starts acting strangely, all your goodies are backed up, so just wipe it and reinstall. ***edit #2: Once you get the machine back to where you want it (patched, a-v, progs installed) but BEFORE you put all your "stuff" on it, set a system restore point. If/when it all goes to hell again, revert to the restore point. If you're feeling adventuresome, download Ubuntu (or some other Linux), burn it to CD, boot from the CD, and try it as your OS for a day or evening. If you think "yeah, I could use this", then install it to the HD. I've been using it (Linux) as my main OS for around 10 years - feel free to ask/PM for help.

Give Chevy a break - they didn't know about that whole "smoking and drinking thing" when his mom was pregnant with him...

"I shall not be YOUR father"? Too late, she already has one. "I will not become a father" - Je ne vais pas devenir père OR "Je ne vais pas devenir un père ce soir, mais encore vous traiter comme une sale pute" - i will not become a father tonight, but will still treat you like a dirty whore Right or wrong, if it convinces her that you "parlez-vous", which helps you seal the deal...

I get it! - "Money shot"
