Never open my case, except to add memory. Never saw any dirt inside, everything is gleaming clean. I change computers about every four years. The last one I gave to my granddaughter who had it for eighteen months now, the machine is about five and a half years old.
My motto is " If it ain't broke, don't fix it".
How do you know when to clean your computer?. Is it overheating, some malfunction that makes you think dirt is the problem, some time schedule, or is your machine saying "Clean me, clean me", or are you just bored?.-tymrwt33 (February 16, 2009, 09:21 PM)
I can't do that with my case. When you are in a house that is well over 100 years old it is constantly generating dust. Doesn’t matter how much you clean, the house is slowly disintegrating I guess, and dust happens! And with a fan-driven exhaust system there is no reasonable way to keep all dust from getting inside the case. Thus I have to handle the dust after it is in the box!
Thanks!

Oh, I "got it" OK. In spite of the fact I was mad about a close friend, and had relationships with others. The redoubtable Ms. Rigg was soooo unattainable. And I was doing a lot of attaining in those days!-OldElmerFudd (February 25, 2009, 02:18 PM)
Same here. But I always liked "older women."
At least I did until recently. Now those same older women are my age.
Or younger.-40hz (February 25, 2009, 02:29 PM)
Your only brother's only brother sounds like a real character - whatever happened to him? Is he on the straight and narrow now?-Darwin (February 23, 2009, 04:32 PM)
Yeah, Darwin
As a pro, he was inclined to run his activities like a business. More to the point, he had an uncanny knack for avoiding trouble. Word is, he gave it all up about 20 years ago with only minor psychic scars.

BTW I had a pretty big crush on Emma Peel (Diana Rigg) myself when I was about 8 or 9. Didn't quite "get", at the time, that the shows I was watching were already 10 years old or so at the time-Darwin (February 24, 2009, 07:14 PM)

1. I'm addicted to fabulist literature
2. I think Neil Gaiman's Sandman is a great work of fiction, even if it is a graphic novel
3. I can come up with a decent original bass line for anything
4. The first woman I ever had a major crush on was Diana Rigg as Emma Peel in The Avengers.
(see attachment in previous post)
(mmm...those sexy-brainy English-types <sigh!>)
5. If someone were to offer me the chance to go to Mars or another planet (but with only 1 chance in 3 of surviving the trip) I'd still go in a heartbeat.
6. I often enjoy disregarding written instructions.-40hz (January 31, 2009, 02:51 PM)
I do have concerns with Win 7's DRM policies; starting to hear some horror stories in forums. YMMVYeah, those rumors are pretty discomforting.(That's assuming I can dual boot with 7: more horror stories, I'm afraid. Don't get get me wrong; this post isn't about FUD. I look forward to a new OS. I wait for the time when Redmond decides to build what Longhorn was supposed to be.)As far as I understand, the Win7 beta disables the other installed OSes in it's bootloader by default to minimize the risk (however small) of corruption other OS'es partitions... afaik it's fixable, and I highly doubt there will be problems with the final version.
I hope the DRM situation is either FUDdy rumors or something that's going to be rectified, since Win7 otherwise seems like a pretty nice OS, and I wouldn't mind upgrading from XP64 when it's released. But if the "all your files are belong to us" rumors are true, I really don't know.-f0dder (February 22, 2009, 07:28 PM)
For a meme like this to be successful, it should contain some 'spicy material' I think, so here goes:
1. My only brother has recently chosen a "career" as professional criminal.
2. When I was (very) young, my curiosity killed a real cat
3. At heart I am a dog person anyway.
4. I bought all my drivers licenses for this country (but earned them in originating country).
5. I am in love with a woman who is totally into God, while I am not.-Shades (February 01, 2009, 10:45 PM)
We have a sysadmin at work and he's leaning towards Win 7.
He would have to deal with printer driver problems if there are any.
Other than that, I don't have high requirements for hardware.
I'm thinking win 7 could be the best solution here too.-urlwolf (February 16, 2009, 03:51 PM)
You know, sometimes i wonder what the impact can be between extensions themselves?
I mean, perhaps you only have 7 extensions but maybe one of those doesn't like the face of only one other in the group.
Could this happen if there were even more like 30?-dantheman (February 16, 2009, 02:58 PM)
Couldn't agree more, Zaine. Great newsletter, mouser
Happy, happy, joy, joy-Darwin (February 16, 2009, 07:43 AM)
Wow! That was quite the writeup Magis esse!
And so many extensions!I'm surprised you don't have many more issues.
Anyway, i did a quick search and someone in another forum pointed out that the History being kept is set at 90 days!Yup. So i changed it to 7, cleared history cache and cookies and, although it may be too soon to tell, everything seems to be pretty well in ship shape now.
BTW, "MinimizetoTray" isn't to be confused with "Firefox Preloader" (which has been upgraded since 2005). The latter would preload/boot with the OS, not "MtT"
@cmpm, ya, i kind of had that intuition.-dantheman (February 08, 2009, 08:21 PM)
Nod5, any online site for that?-Paul Keith (January 31, 2009, 12:23 AM)
