just let Memtest run over night-JavaJones (January 04, 2012, 10:11 PM)
SBAC: Your BSODs could be Comodo, that's definitely something I'd check early on, but do seem potentially hardware-related. Run a memory scan (Memtest86+ is my recommendation). Also, did you actually move/change any hardware *inside* the case recently? If so you might have bumped something...-JavaJones (January 04, 2012, 06:04 PM)
I'm liking Spicebird (it's been mentioned on DC a few times).
Based on Mozilla code, but there's a certain je ne sais quoi about it that I like very much, where I disliked Thunderbird for the same (read: nebulous) reasons.
Handles multiple accounts pretty well, and setup is 5-year-old-level easy.-Edvard (January 04, 2012, 04:06 PM)
They solved it another way, they make the code that might be affected available http://www.postbox-inc.com/coveredcode-iphigenie (January 04, 2012, 12:28 PM)
Why? Thunderbird is not licensed under the GPL.-Tuxman (January 04, 2012, 10:16 AM)
So I currently use postbox which is a shareware cleaned up version of Thunderbird for both mac and windows - neat features-iphigenie (January 04, 2012, 09:51 AM)
I also just noticed that when I rebooted and the part which shows all the hard drives coming up...that is usually very quick, this time it had to wait several seconds to detect the each drive. Made me think I have a motherboard problem.-superboyac (January 03, 2012, 07:12 PM)
@SB - ok, looks like I'm outvoted on the 8Gb vs 16Gb argument by DC folk who are currently using 16, so please disregard my earlier questioning of how advantageous it would be.Not a problem. Knowing myself, I tend to go overboard initially anyway, so in the end, the advice was good.-40hz (January 03, 2012, 05:49 PM)-superboyac (January 03, 2012, 07:08 PM)

Vodka is good with food I find - saw some programme a few years back about an old russian guy and they were saying that it was traditionally drank with meals - I mean before people started drinking it around the clock-tomos (January 03, 2012, 04:22 PM)
I'm suspicious of any drink that requires freezing in order to be palatable (jeez, am I getting snobby now)
I had fond memories of Moskovskaya vodka, got a bottle of it lately - it was good, but didnt pass the drink-it-like-a-whiskey test very well (not chilled, tiny dash of water). Tastes reasonably good, nice marzipany aftertaste, doesnt smell great though. But maybe that's not fair if it's meant to be drank cold... (it is cheap - for the price I'd say it's very good).
)This looks very interesting for OpenDNS users: DNSCrypt – Critical, fundamental, and about time.-IainB (January 03, 2012, 05:37 AM)
I use OpenDNS and install it on every computer I am given to "fix".
Very happy with their service, no complaints-Edvard (January 03, 2012, 06:48 AM)

It’s likely that if SOPA and PIPA existed when I started my company, we would have
incorporated outside of the United States and all of the jobs and investment that I have put
into the economy would have been taken elsewhere. I expect many businesses will make
the decision to incorporate elsewhere should this legislation pass and it’s possible that
existing corporations will relocate to more entrepreneur-friendly countries.
Okay, any sympathy anybody may have had for Mr. Christoforo at this point should now be out the forking window.
He has proven himself to be the most gravity-warping epithet for neandertalic behavior patterns I have ever seen, encountered or read about.-Edvard (January 02, 2012, 05:31 PM)
So PeerBlock is reputable? Anyone here running it? I'm considering doing so...-kyrathaba (January 02, 2012, 05:52 PM)
PS to 40hz- Really? And here I thought Pennsylvania had some restrictive laws!-J-Mac (January 02, 2012, 02:22 PM)
I haven't made a move toward the other stuff yet ... But it has crossed my mind more than once (as the Empire gains traction...).-Stoic Joker (January 02, 2012, 12:38 PM)
Now tell me again that vodka's only for getting drunk with?-oblivion (December 31, 2011, 04:51 AM)
If, like me, you have a logical turn of mind, a self-indulgent nature, and a frequently dormant conscience, there is a certain aspect of human behavior that can put an immense strain on the patience. It's spoken of, always in sanctimonious tones, as moderation - not too much of this, not too much of that, diet and abstinence and restraint, colonic irrigation, cold baths before breakfast, and regular readings of morally uplifting tracts. You must have come across all this and worse if you have any friends from California. Personally, I'm a great believer in the philosophy of live and let live, as long as you keep your proclivities to yourself. Follow the road of denial if that's what you want, and all I'll say is more fool you and spare me the details.
Threats generally aren't actionable unless they present an imminent physical danger.-J-Mac (January 01, 2012, 09:31 PM)

If Mr. C has been around as long as he's said he has - and allegedly has 125 web professionals at his beck & call, it would be an easy matter to fake some threatening and harassing actions. And based on the bad temper, threats, and lack of judgement displayed in some of his communications, I wouldn't put it beyond possible.
In reality - Christoforo was the sole employee of Ocean Marketing. There were no other employees. Grin What a guy!
