*Two moon on 27 August*
Planet Mars will be the brightest in the night sky starting August.
It will look as large as the full moon to the naked eye. This will culminate on Aug. 27 when Mars comes within 34.65M miles of earth.
Be sure to watch the sky on Aug. 2 7 12:30 am. It will look like the earth has 2 moons. The next time Mars may come this close is in 2287.
Share this with your friends as NO ONE ALIVE TODAY will ever see it again.

Unfortunately this is not true... (part about the size). The truth is that is will be closer than ever, but still it's going to be just one small red dot on the sky... Just another urban legend circulating through emails. Read more about it here:

This is a car advertisement from Great Britain. When they finished filming the ad, the film editor noticed something moving along the side of the car, like a ghostly white mist. They found out that a person had been killed a year earlier in that exact same spot.

Gas Prices Around The World (http://mysharedfiles.no-ip.org/GasPricesAroundTheWorld.html)In the UK,its roughly £1 per litre. 4.5 litres = 1 UK gallon = £4.50 =$ 8.80 a gallon, plus a UK gallon = 1.2 US gallon.I make that just over $7 equivalent US gallon.I could be wrong. ;D
Locally I'm paying $2.95 Per gallon.

Some sound advice:
Just because it looks like your bank, talks like your bank, and walks like your bank, no longer means that it is your bank.
The best way to be sure is to never deal with unsolicited incoming calls or click through to unsolicited emails.
If you receive an email or telephone call from "your bank", call them back by looking up the number on your own.

How does Apple get away with this badware behavior? (http://blogs.zdnet.com/security/?p=1335&tag=nl.e622)No Different than a program having Google or Yahoo toolbar checked by default ::)
All of this just for a security update....... :o
You're joking right, a bit different a toolbar (measured probably in KBs) to one or two full blown applications measured in the tens of MBs almost 95MB.Same idea. Wether its a tool bar, or a Full application such as Safari or Microsoft Silverlight. Lots of companies use this tactic. Microsoft, Adobe, Sun, Google, etc. Apple is just joining the host of other companies already doing it.
We may not particularly like the way these companies do it, but its not hard to uncheck the box.Tagging something as a security update and throwing in the kitchen sink isn't
If you look Apple is not tagging it as a security update. Its Clearly marked New Software.QuoteWe may not particularly like the way these companies do it, but its not hard to uncheck the box.Tagging something as a security update and throwing in the kitchen sink isn't
exactly looking out for the consumer. It's big business at its worst.... IMHO

This is the Applke Software Update Module.
What does NEW software have in common with an update of something you already have installed
on your system
Why not leave the items unchecked by default and give me the opportunity to check them if
I should want to also install the other products
Dirty Move? Yes. Is apple the First or the Only one Doing it? No.Fully agree with you Mac.
Why is it that no one complains that Windows Update makes you check what you wantBecause they leave the choice of the downloads up to the consumer.

I'm against the $85,000,000,000.00 bailout of AIG.That all a$$umes that there is someone in charge that knows math and logic.
Instead, I'm in favor of giving $85,000,000,000 to America in
a We Deserve It Dividend.
To make the math simple, let's assume there are 200,000,000
bonafide U.S. Citizens 18+.
Our population is about 301,000,000 +/- counting every man, woman
and child. So 200,000,000 might be a fair stab at adults 18 and up..
So divide 200 million adults 18+ into $85 billon that equals $425,000.00.
My plan is to give $425,000 to every person 18+ as a
We Deserve It Dividend.
Of course, it would NOT be tax free.
So let's assume a tax rate of 30%.
Every individual 18+ has to pay $127,500.00 in taxes.
That sends $25,500,000,000 right back to Uncle Sam.
But it means that every adult 18+ has $297,500.00 in their pocket.
A husband and wife has $595,000.00.
What would you do with $297,500.00 to $595,000.00 in your family?
Pay off your mortgage - housing crisis solved.
Repay college loans - what a great boost to new grads
Put away money for college - it'll be there
Save in a bank - create money to loan to entrepreneurs.
Buy a new car - create jobs
Invest in the market - capital drives growth
Pay for your parent's medical insurance - health care improves
Enable Deadbeat Dads to come clean - or else
Remember this is for every adult U S Citizen 18+ including the folks
who lost their jobs at Lehman Brothers and every other company
that is cutting back. And of course, for those serving in our Armed Forces.
If we're going to re-distribute wealth let's really do it...instead of
trickling out
a puny $1000.00 ( "vote buy" ) economic incentive that is being proposed by
one of our candidates for President.
If we're going to do an $85 billion bailout, let's bail out every adult U S
Citizen 18+!
As for AIG - liquidate it.
Sell off its parts.
Let American General go back to being American General.
Sell off the real estate.
Let the private sector bargain hunters cut it up and clean it up.
Here's my rationale. We deserve it and AIG doesn't.
Sure it's a crazy idea that can "never work."
But can you imagine the Coast-To-Coast Block Party!
How do you spell Economic Boom?
I trust my fellow adult Americans to know how to use the $85 Billion
We Deserve this Dividend more than the geniuses at AIG or the politicians in Washington DC ;D ;D

AIG didn't make a loan: it insured some banks against home owners defaulting on mortgages. Those mortgages turned out to be duff.
Some of those duff mortgages were repackaged and sold to banks in countries outside the US- which are now suffering. AIG is an international company and if it went under, the world would suffer.
With the US hugely in debt, it can't risk pissing off the rest of the world, because it needs to borrow more, so sorry Bob, your pipe dream is never going to happen.

The RAZR is now a relatively old phone (first launched in 2004 with numerous updates along the way but still old) and new models will obviously take some of its market share and knock it of top spot, that is a fact of life. When I bought my new phone I checked out the latest RAZR and didn't really like it (http://www.mobilegazette.com/why-the-razr-is-killing-motorola-07x05x16.htm (http://www.mobilegazette.com/why-the-razr-is-killing-motorola-07x05x16.htm) and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorola_RAZR_V3 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorola_RAZR_V3)) and it didn't do too well in reviews. Personally I'm surprised it was in top spot to start with.

I just received the following offer:Im betting your dell's hardware specs don't come close to whats in the MacBookPro. For example the LED panel in the MacBookPro is meant for Graphics professionals, it displays far more colors accurately than your average TN panel LCD thats in your Dell (although Dell does offer the option to upgrade your display when you are ordering). I would bet that just the screen of the MacBookPro costs over half of what you paid for that dell. I know that the processor that Apple is using costs almost half as much as your dell (the P9600 costs $348 in 1,000 unit quantities.) Does your Dell have integrated graphics or a discrete graphics processor?QuoteToday's Hot Deals Daily Summary:
+ Apple MacBook Pro 17" Notebook Pre-Order ($2799+
I have 2 questions:
1. Is this really a bargain ???
Last year I purchase a Dell 17" Notebook but it came with Vista and the cost was $799.00
2. Is a MacBook Pro really worth an additional $2000.00 ???
I just can't see how this kind of price differential can justified, as this credit crunch bites harder the gap will have to close.I'm still waiting to run their operating system on a dual boot. The tighter this crunch becomes, the greater my chances become. ;D
Whilst higher specs do cost more, but for it to be 3.5 times more expensive simply can't be justified. 32bit versions of Windows don't support more than 4GB and can virtually can't use over 3GB, so having the ability to have 8GB of RAM (not physically installed that would be extra), is of little use unless using a 64bit version of windows.
As far as a laptop goes, just how powerful a graphics (option, options, options, again, they cost extra on top of whatever the default) card or chip do you really need to support the 17" screen, it entirely depends on what you intend to use it for, or any such options are meaningless and cash wasted.
Firewire 800 is no deal breaker if you have firewire 400 or even USB2 if you don't have hardware hooked up that requires it, making a copy to external HDD, etc. that little bit quicker, is it worth the extra, just have a leisurely cup of coffee. I have an external HDD that supports eSATA and USB2 I had hoped to get the eSATA working as it is much faster, but even with a eSATA PCI-e card it won't work so USB2 only, but that really isn't any huge hassle when I do my backups to the external HDD. I have Firewire 400 on my PC but the external HDD doesn't support that so in my case firewire 800 would be as much use, none.
Bearing in mind this was sent to Bob as a so called Hot Deal, Pre-Order special, etc. etc. so I shudder to think what it would cost outside of this Hot Deal. I just can't see how this kind of price differential can justified, as this credit crunch bites harder the gap will have to close.

Mac,Well then let me say something about the Dell running OS X.
What does your link have to do with the post your quoting ???
This should make it much harder for PC users to pirate Mac OS X and install it on non-Apple hardwareFunny but I didn't see any mention of any pirated software in that article. Did you ???
People download the hacked OS X image from BitTorrent websites to install on their PCs, therefore pirating. I highly doubt those people are paying Apple $129 for the leopard install DVD (because it wont run on PCs until its modified).QuoteThis should make it much harder for PC users to pirate Mac OS X and install it on non-Apple hardwareFunny but I didn't see any mention of any pirated software in that article.

Google Operating System’s Alex Chitu reports that the latest version of Real Networks’ RealPlayer comes bundled with Google Chrome and, by default, installs the browser.
In terms of browser plug-in problems, ActiveX had the 366 reported vulnerabilities last year. Java had 54 security issues, followed by QuickTime with 30, Flash with 19, and Firefox Extension with one. The Opera Widget had no reported vulnerabilities.

It is working here also.
I have a Cannon Pixma iP4000 and when the software says they are empty, they are bone dry, so absolutely no waste there, but I tend to ignore the the ink level is low warning and wait for it to say it is empyt. My (compatible) cartridges are transparent so it is easy to check unlike some manufactures using opaque cartridges.
A lot of HP printers do not have, yet, a Vista driver... it's a shame!One of the reasons I stick with Epson. I still have a printer that must be at least 10 years old and still works
It's just a way to force to buy a new printer... shame, shame... on this bad support.

Snow Leopard and Windows 7: Two flavors of the same GUI? (http://blogs.zdnet.com/hardware/?p=4507)Im actually really pleased with Windows 7's GUI. There is not a whole lot of similarities this time around like the blatant rip off that Vista was (other than what is carried over from Vista). And the performance of windows 7 is amazing, I am dual booting it on my Lenovo IdeaPad S10 and it runs quite well on a Atom processor. Overall I think Microsoft has a winner with Win 7 and they did it without using the photocopiers this time :).

Mozilla add-on developer and community member Wladimir Palant reported broken functionality on pages that had a Link: HTTP header when an add-on was installed which implemented a Content Policy in JavaScript, such as AdBlock Plus or NoScript. Mozilla security researcher moz_bug_r_a4 demonstrated that the broken functionality was due to the window's global object receiving an incorrect security wrapper and that this issue could be used to execute arbitrary JavaScript with chrome privileges.I find this is an interesting case since some Firefox addons which normally considered as security enhancements can do the exact opposite. :'(

Why Macs Can't Beat PCs with Windows 7 (http://www.pcworld.com/article/170789/why_macs_cant_beat_pcs_with_windows_7.html?tk=nl_wbx_h_crawl1)Everyone is entitled to their Opinion. I have the Snow Leopard DVD on my desk Waiting for me to install (backing up files right now) and I have Windows 7 on pre-order. From what I have seen of the Win 7 RC its a good OS. Its all about Personal preference.
What's your take on this article? ( I already know Mac's answer..... ;D )
Hey Mac, Long time no see. Glad to see you around.
You might want to check this out: http://www.businessweek.com/the_thread/techbeat/archives/2009/08/snow_leopard_pr.html
I guess there are some compatability problems with some printers and Snow Leopard. ( Which is normal for any new OS)

I'm exited to finally see the final win 7 release but I'm worried it might turn out to follow in the foot steps of Vista.Not a chance. :) I've been using Windows 7 since early beta and even then it was better than Vista and has only matured.

However, I'm wondering how much this speech is affective since US seems to have begun to be tired of Obama's seemingly empty idealism while even Neo-Con, who was once silenced by the economic recession, regaining its power. Obama became the US president probably in the worst time in these decades since US may be at the edge of paying their swollen dept now that it appears to have lost the power as the world's biggest consumption power with the high unemployment rate and thus losing its throne as the mother country of a key currency. I'm wondering if US is shifting from escapist idealism to escapist nationalism...I hope this will be proven wrong. :-\

I think that we humans feel we can control the climate and the global warming situation but a million years from now things will be the same except for that asteroid that still has to find us.If you are talking of theories around global warming, the opinion is even divided among people with more scientific knowledge and the output tends to be too political to be judged by purely scientific viewpoints. However, I agree that human beings have the tendency of seeing things in favor to themselves. Then, again, that can be said from both political sides.
And He spoke a parable to them: “Can the blind lead the blind? Will they not both fall into the ditch? A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone who is perfectly trained will be like his teacher. And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not perceive the plank in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me remove the speck that is in your eye,’ when you yourself do not see the plank that is in your own eye? Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck that is in your brother’s eye (Luke 6:39-42).

Safe Computing Tips For Allhttp://blogs.paretologic.com/malwarediaries/index.php/2009/12/30/safe-computing-tips-for-all
December 30th, 2009
A lot of people are unaware of how they get their computer infected. Also, as I realized recently, a lot of people don’t know much about computers at all. So first, let’s review the type of users we will be talking about
This was my first computer: the ZX Spectrum (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZX_Spectrum).
That makes me a '3' too I suppose. ;D
As 2009 winds down and we try to come up with new and clever ways of referring to the early years of this century, there's really only one thing left to do: declare our ten favorite gadgets of the aughts and show them off in chronological order. It's arguable that if this wasn't the decade of gadgets, it was certainly a decade shaped by gadgets -- one which saw the birth of a new kind of connectedness. In just ten years time, gadgets have touched almost every aspect of our daily lives, and personal technology has come into its own in a way never before seen. It's a decade that's been marked the ubiquity of the internet, the downfall of the desktop, and the series finale of Friends, but we've boiled it down to the ten devices we've loved the most and worked the hardest over the past ten years. We even had some of our friends in the tech community chime in with their picks on what they thought was the gadget or tech of the decade -- so join us for a look back at the best (gadget) years ever!http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/ten-gadgets-that-defined-the-decade

Dear Comcast High-Speed Internet Customer,
We are pleased to announce the pilot launch of the Comcast Usage Meter in your area.
This new feature is available to Comcast High-Speed Internet customers and provides an easy way
to check total monthly household high-speed Internet data usage at any time. Monthly data usage is the amount of data,
such as images, movies, photos, videos, and other files that customers send, receive, download or upload each month.
Comcast measures total data usage and does not monitor specific customer activities to determine data usage.
The bill for all that bandwidth or a supposed fair use policy or bandwidth limitation; why else would you need to know how much you are using.David,
Over here in the UK I'm still surprised how they get away with a supposed 'unlimited' bandwidth and promptly give a limit on your monthly usage or the catch all 'fire use policy,' fair for whom.
Marc,
Apparently the search engine isn't very up to date.

Hint: picture was taken in 1956...
It's a hard disk drive back in 1956... with 5 MB of storage.
In September 1956 IBM launched the 305 RAMAC, the first 'SUPER' computer with a hard disk drive (HDD).
The HDD weighed over a ton and stored a 'whopping' 5 MB of data.
Do you appreciate your 8 GB memory stick or flash drive a little more now?
To put that into better perspective, that 8 GB has a capacity of 1600 times what could be stored on the drive pictured above.
I believe the IBM drive sold close to one million dollars and that was back when a dollar was worth a lot more than it is today!
That works out to over 1.5 billion of today's dollars for something we can now purchase for less than $15!

Browser Blowout 2010I certainly don't agree. I think Chrome's interface is the ugliest and clunkiest of all the browsers. If you read the report about speed, it says they're all pretty much the same and IE8 actually won 5 of the 8 page loading tests.

Hi forum friends,
Plantago major was found about 4000 year ago in Europe for the first time. It was spread all over Europe by the swift feet of the Roman legionnaires and therefore is found on the side of the roads.
Plantain then was spread from Europe throughout the whole world. The Indians called the plant "the footstep of the white", because it was found where Europeans went. They then knew Europeans had been around.

Indeed. I wish I knew more myself. They really don't teach you natural ways to heal yourself in America. They will definitely tell you what pill to take. I remember getting burned really bad on a grill when I was a kid. Took some pills from the doctor. Everything is synthetic :(. I'm taking some botany courses at UNI next year. Maybe they will bestow the knowledge of the earth on me. All I really know how to do is start a fire now and filter water haha. At least that's something!
All they do with a lot of synthetics is analyze the chemical makeup of what's found in nature and then duplicate it in a lab. Like the way the replicator worked in Star Trek, Next Generation. They just had to have a reserve of each chemical element and then they could synthetically create anything they wanted and it would be exactly the same as the original. I'm not saying we are at that point yet but it's basically the same process.Indeed. I wish I knew more myself. They really don't teach you natural ways to heal yourself in America.

Synthetic is based on natural. I recall having read a couple of times about pharmaceutical companies going to the Amazon forest to get patents on plants that are old healing remedies, in order to develop new commercial medicine.

Many of the naturally occurring beneficial substances are present in very low concentrations and would have little if any effect if used in the natural form. Extracting the substances from the plants and concentrating them to an effective dosage level would be very costly, time consuming, and not eco-friendly. Many times, producing the compound synthetically makes more sense in every aspect. Take aspirin as an example.
The whole medicine deal... if they are mimicking natural occurring things to produce synthetic medicine. Why not just provide the natural occurring chemical? ...Oh wait nobody profits off that. Your body can process a naturally occurring substance much more accurately than a synthetic substance made to mimic it more often than not. It's kind of like all of the preservatives and hormone enriched food that we eat in USA causes issues. Especially with the development process of the body, as you said. It not only affects us but the livestock that we consume. None of the livestock we eat can naturally reproduce anymore. It all has to be done by machine... sadly.

Never cared for Folger's, it's too bitter. I prefer Maxwell House but lately I've been buying the Master Chef brand at Walmart. It's put out by the Sara Lee Company and is much cheaper than even the Great Value brand. It's not bad tasting at all either. I get the big can here for $4.98.I like Maxwell House instant ;)

Many Windows users will no doubt be perfectly happy using a free anti-virus offering. I have a ridiculous number of computers in my office and around the house, and have free anti-virus on three of the six Windows-based systems. One is running Avast Free Antivirus, another Comodo Internet Security, and the other one has Microsoft Security Essentials. Out of those three, I vastly prefer Avast, which seems the speediest and least resource-intensive.

• SafeZone – It’s a virtualized environment in which you can browse the Internet using the Google Chrome browser only. It’s not impressive because not every user in the world wants to use Chrome browser only and it is not allowing you to browse for files or run other applications on your computer while in SafeZone mode. Note that Avast Internet security will not install standalone Google Chrome browser that you can access anytime but it is only accessible when using SafeZone mode. It only means that Chrome browser is integrated now in Avast Internet security program that I personally don’t like especially if Microsoft has stopped integrating their browser to newer operating systems.

... but I still got the disjointed FF button and tabs (on top) when FF maximized, ie not exactly aligned.Might (just a guess) be a matter of whether you use a personas skin or a "classic" skin, or a matter of screen resolution.... yeah that's most likely after all.
ps: on a side note, very few classic skins are available for FF4, as they got to work with both old and new UI style, and the only available ones are absolutely ugly.

That is the problem, they all claimed to be faster at one time or at one thing, but the time differences really are a joke and unlikely to mean much in real life browsing.I totally agree with you. If I could have IE9 on this machine, I'd be using it instead of Chrome. Even the "experts" are now saying there's very little difference between the 3 major browsers now.
Who is going to notice differences in the milliseconds, given the various failings of the internet how many servers you have to pass the data through and if they are suffering and load issues. They are all much closer in real life than what each browser would like you to think.
Hello Damien,
I happen to like LastPass. It's great to help keep track of all those
passwords to all the forums and other things where I travel.
I happen to like my head to remember those passwords to places that I consider
important. Like banks and PayPal and shopping sites.
As a backup for those important passwords, I rely on something secure like
my refrigerator. Cyber crooks can get into my computer but they will never
get into my refrigerator. :)

As a Christian myself it always amazes me how these guys can claim to be getting this stuff from the Bible when it clearly says in there that no man will know the day or time when the Apocalypse will begin. Anyone who claims they know the date is by definition, a false prophet. There is no date given in the Bible.My prediction was correct!

When you turn on the Do-not-track feature, Firefox tells every website you visit (as well as their advertisers and other content providers) that you don't want your browsing behavior tracked. Honoring this setting is voluntary — individual websites are not required to respect it. Websites that do honor this setting should automatically stop tracking your behavior without any further action from you.

I don't think this is possible...only linking to the note, not an image...that is the way the shared notes work.
So, that begs the question, when did you find evernote ;)
I have only recently discovered it, but now I use it almost daily.I used it yesterday since that seemed to be the only way for me to save and reprint the picture.
It makes life so much easier for me. I can access it (and what ever I store there) pretty much anywhere, in various ways. Even simple notes, that I may have written down or just written in notepad and saved somewhere random are all collected together so it is almost impossible to lose anything.
I visited the site and had a very brief look at the Learn More page and in all honesty it turned me off. It seemed totally lacking in detail on how to use it, just what are more like death by bullet point short paragraphs.Nothing is better than using something that works. :)
So it didn't excite me that much as something that I could use over my own basic method of working so I can find what I have saved/captured without need for an application to do it.

According to United States Geologic Survey, the mid-Atlantic Region of the United States experienced a 5.9 magnitude earthquake this afternoon. Along with the entire federal family, we are closely monitoring the situation and are in close contact and coordination with our federal and state partners in Virginia, the District of Columbia, Maryland and the surrounding areas.
There are no initial reports of significant damages, but we will continue to coordinate closely with our state and local partners to assess their needs.

Samsung Drops Prices for Google Chromebookshttp://www.labnol.org/gadgets/samsung-chromebook-price-drop/20046
Chromebooks went for sale in June and in this short period of time, Samsung has already dropped the price of their Google Chrome OS laptops by as much as 10%.
The Wi-Fi only Series 5 Chromebook is now selling for $399.99, down from $429.99, while the 3G + Wi-Fi Chromebook is available for $449.99, down 10% from the original $499.99. The prices for Acer Chromebooks are however unchanged.
While a price drop is always welcome, I am still not convinced why would anyone prefer a stripped-down Chrome OS based laptop over these netbooks that are much more versatile.

Well after all this time here you should know how some feel about "chain letters". Chain letters are frowned upon in anti malware land, and I think you at least should have mentioned that when presenting this particular link in your thread -1465,
polonus

Hi bob3160,The lingo is gone - The interesting information is still there. :) ( Now just send the link onto 8 people.... ;D ;D ;D )
This has nothing to do with sending e-mails. It is the chain-letter character of the message in that posting you see as you click that link.

You clearly haven't heard about their new practice of wrapping downloads in their download manager. Supposedly to make downloads easier, whilst at the same time bundling crapware with it, e.g. toolbars, etc.So? You just uninstall the manager afterwards. I don't see the problem.
I posted in one of the threads at CNET saying that Avast was lighter on resources than MSE but I also added that if people want the full information and help for Avast, they'd be better off coming here. That part got deleted by a moderator.Recommending another forum is against their rules. :)
So? You just uninstall the manager afterwards. I don't see the problem.It's a lot easier to use another server that doesn't add any crap in the first place. ;D

In honesty, I think it would dilute the support given on the official forums. Not only that here we have some control over what is posted and I don't believe that control would be present in a third party forum. I also see this additional visibility as a double edged sword, if it is poorly supported (people just don't have time to devote to multiple forums), people will get a bad impression. So there is a risk if it isn't well supported and the official avast forums by comparison to many other forums are lightning fast and I wouldn't like to see that diluted.

In many ways, the technology behind the site merely recreates in a publicly searchable way what the entertainment industry has been doing for years: It tracks and records information that users share when they download and upload files on public peer-to-peer file-trading networks. But the free service does have the potential to make people think twice about downloading pirated movies, games and music, because it shows how easily this information can be discovered and archived.

I'm of the opinion that nobody really needs anything over 5mp and the ones with more are overkill for marketing purposes.Some of us like to stay up-to-date and take advantage of the new technology that's available and that's pretty much what this last post is all about.
3.2 mp is more than sufficient for prints up to 8 X 10 and how many people ever print anything larger than that? The size of the file gets exponentially larger with a higher mp count and your software has to downsize it even more to display the whole thing. Even 3.2 mp pictures are ridiculously huge at the full resolution on a monitor screen.QuoteI'm of the opinion that nobody really needs anything over 5mp and the ones with more are overkill for marketing purposes.Some of us like to stay up-to-date and take advantage of the new technology that's available and that's pretty much what this last post is all about.
The more MP, the greater the magnification of the picture and, still see a picture and not just dots. There are many reasons why higher MP
make sense.
If you're just shooting local scenery, maybe what you have is fine even if it's not capable of taking advantage of the product I describe and can't wait to put to use. :)

I still think what I posted is fine. On February 18, someone posted in this thread about something that wasn't currently being discussed. There were no responses that I could see to that post. I don't understand why I got the response I did when the other post didn't get a response (again, from what I could see.)Now that one is perfectly acceptable. The other one is much too politically and religiously charged and that's why it's inappropriate. Some may agree with what was said, others won't and we don't need those kinds of arguments going on here.

Chrome might also have had something to do with it.
Hi FwF,
And what do you think of the influence from the growing Google environment experience?
We are slowly moving away from conventional laptops, notebooks etc. to other mobile solutions with the Google OS on it.
I guess MS is feeling the heat there most.
Being on GoogleChrome with Abine's Do not Track Plus for some time now, Fx somehow feels like differently.
Seems to have tweaked Chrome launched via Chrome Privacy Guard to my likings now with:
Malware Script Detector, Web bug detector and Malware Search extensions, to name just some,

The Antivirus Era Is OverAlready brought out in the Security Warnings Thread:
"Conventional security software is powerless against sophisticated attacks like Flame, but alternative approaches are only just getting started. Flame is just the latest in a series of incidents that suggest that conventional antivirus software is an outmoded way of protecting computers against malware."

I think that, coming from such a massively popular gaming source, that this could be the final nail in the coffin for Win 8 as far as the gaming community is concerned.
Windows 8 belongs on older PCs like a fish needs a bicycle
Summary: Get real! It's bad enough that you're going to have to deal with Windows 8 on new PCs, why ask for misery on your old PC? ......... (more)

While I too agree with a lot said in the article, I know from reading the author's other things that he is a dedicated Microsoft and Windows basher and a die hard Linux proponent. Take that into consideration. In my opinion, the most reliable reporter that site has is Ed Bott.
I've been working with Windows 8 in one version or another for months now and there is simply nothing about it that would make me recommend it over Windows 7 or XP for that matter.
<snip>
Here's the real point. Most people upgrade their operating system only when they get something better from it and there's nothing significantly better about Windows 8.

Sad but apparently true:Interesting quote from the article.
Windows XP and Firefox take 25-year lead in security flaws (http://www.pcworld.com/article/2029328/windows-xp-and-firefox-take-25-year-lead-in-security-flaws.html)
For high-severity vulnerabilities, the product Windows XP earns the dubious distinction of the No.1 spot. "What's also interesting here is that of the top four browsers that have a total of 90 percent of the browser market share, Firefox has the most vulnerabilities in every category, followed by Chrome, then Internet Explorer and finally Safari," the report concludes.

To add onto FreewheelinFrank's reply,It has nothing to do with what was announced by the browser providers but rather with flaws that were discovered by anyone, in house or not. Independent analysts all the way.
As Firefox and Chrome are open-sourced, it is only natural that more bugs are to be found; but because it is open-sourced, they will be fixed by the community. Internet Explorer, on the other hand, isn't open sourced. So naturally, less bugs will be announced to the public domain. The bad guys would want to keep the vulnerability from going public for as long as possible, no?

Microsoft doesn't report all security vulnerabilities that it fixes in its software. Bug comparisons between vendors therefore paint an incorrect picture.

Hi FwF,
In defense of our good friend, Dch48, however, we have to admit that exploits that are used in malware are almost 99% borrowed from known failsafe exploit code that malcreants get from hackers and/or security researchers/testers. Exploit kit code launchers do not add new exploit code, they use those of others. That is why I always been doing third party reconnaissance mainly...

Absolutely amazing gigapixle images.It's a great way to kill a few hours (If the spammers would leave us alone...) and almost as good as being there in person.
The biggest one, London 360 degree image made me dizzy, but stunning sights and amazing detail. I did like the Everest shots until you zoom right in you couldn't image seeing the base camp right there like a big rubbish tip. The detail in the Yosemite image (the one in your post) is stunning there are lots of people on top of half dome. What I thought was an animal burrow until I saw the people on top of half dome, must have been some sort of water course (or pooled water) coming out of the rock.

Unfortunately the camera seems to make it look like it's standing still when it's actually
spinning at a great speed while it tracks the wind.
Right now we have a wind speed of 20 MPH with gusts to 45 MPH
The windmill stands 7 ft tall and is securely anchored in cement.

Alice's Dad (My father-in-law) Turns 94 on 6/11/2013
Alfio is a WW II veteran who served in North Africa from 1941 to 1943. He served with the 18th Infantry Regiment of the 1st Infantry Division (The Big Red One). Although he left the war with no visible scars he still suffers with PTSD. When he served it was called 'Shell Shock' the 'Battle Fatigue' but it's all the same thing. He still has nightmares and, unfortunately, his short term memory is fading. His long term memory is quite intact.
My brother has been his caretaker since 2005 which not very long before Alice had her transplant.
My brother also had a great idea:
"Alfio will be celebrating his 94th birthday on June 11th and a friend of mine suggested that we try to get him 94 physical birthday cards to overwhelm him on his birthday. I thought this was a great idea and posted it on my facebook page but I don't have a million friends (most of which I don't even know) and I have no way of knowing if this is going viral or not. If I get 50 cards that would be great but if I get 250 cards he will feel like Kris Kringle sitting in the courthouse just before Christmas.
I am asking each of you to send him a card this year. I am also asking you to reach out to anyone you know who knows Alfio (or just wants to honor a dying breed of WW II Vets). I will send our mailing address on the bottom of this letter. When the cards start coming I will put them all into a bundle and present them to him on his birthday. I will try to take a video of his reaction and post it on You Tube so that you can all see it.
We are not having a huge party this year because it may be a bit too much for him but the cards would be a great way to cheer him up and let him know how many people remember and care about him. We all tend to get caught up in our daily lives and I am as guilty as everyone else for doing that. Let's try to take 10 minutes out of our busy schedule to do this for someone before it is too late.
Thank you,
Rudy Gostischa
P.S.: Send cards to: Alfio A. Perugi
61 West 88th Street, Apt. 1R
New York, NY 10024"
So, if any of you feel like sending out a Birthday Card to Alfio, It certainly would make his birthday one heck of a nice day.
It will also most like be his last birthday. I'd like to see it turn out to be something he'll always remember.

Not the best of news for the third worldThat could very well happen. I know I will never switch to any form of Linux on my XP laptop. I tried Ubuntu and just didn't like the UI or the provided browser and email programs. Mint has the same bundled programs, and a better UI, but I couldn't get my wireless card to work after 6 hours of trying and doing the same things I did in Ubuntu plus a lot more. Since I have found that Win8 32 bit runs very well on that machine, if I decide to dump XP, that is the direction I will go. I found a video driver modding utility that lets you use the newest AMD drivers on the old legacy cards so that problem with Win 8 is solved. I could also have it in a dual boot setup and use XP only for legacy games that do not connect to the web and do all the online activities in Win8. (with Classic Shell installed of course ;))
and those that cannot afford to upgrade for whatever reason.
Maybe someone will come up with an additional non-official security pack for XP or a version II,
just as we experienced with Win98.
Turkish coders are known to come up with these solutions.

An external link to install Microsoft updates. When the Microsoft updates stop, what good will this program do ?
I would much rather get my updates directly from the horses mouth instead of through a third party application.
Of course, but many, if not most, of the remaining XP users are businesses that need Windows software to do their daily activities.That's why business users should move their stuff to the cloud as much as possible so they won't need depend on a specified platform, at least they should use cross-platform applications... moving to cloud (At least an internal cloud) will save them a lot of money and time.

No excuse just a statement of fact as to how Apple and Microsoft are two different companies concentrating their marketing in different areas. Apple has always been about the hardware and their software only runs on their hardware. As a company that provides software to many other manufacturers and with very limited presence and success in the hardware market, Microsoft will find it much harder to provide what is their flagship offering for free.Are you trying to make up an excuse for them ???

The company might also split itself up, spinning off either its security or its backup and recovery business and focusing on just one of them, Holland said. Integrating an acquired company into the current sprawling organization would be a challenge, he said.

Due to the irregularity caused by leap years, however, August does not begin on a Sunday exactly once every seven years; instead, the phenomenon follows a 6-5-6-11 pattern. That is, when August begins on Sunday, that event occurs again six years later, then five years later, then six years later, and finally eleven years later, whereupon the cycle repeats. Thus we see patterns of Sunday-beginning Augusts in clusters of years like the following:
1965, 1971, 1976, 1982, 1993
1993, 1999, 2004, 2010, 2021
2021, 2027, 2032, 2038, 2049
We're approaching the end of a cycle and thus the longest gap between occurrences, but that gap is a mere eleven years, not eight centuries.
Good news, then I actually have a chance to be around for the next occurrence. :)

Bob,I use a rental car for business. They supply whatever keeps the windshield clean. I highly doubt it's Rain-X. :)
Use "Rain-X" windshield washer fluid and save your windshield wipers. <$1alt="" title="" onresizestart="return false;" id="smiley__$2" style="padding: 0 3px 0 3px;" />
When I'm driving down the highway I never use the wipers.

Good tyres for golf buggies, not so good for cars.Many things have changed in 15 years. I know I've seem any changes in myself alone over the past 15 years. :)
Had a trial of those types of tyres about 15 years ago on forklifts and they failed miserably.
Those tyres haven't changed, simple physics and centrifugal forces deem that over 25/30kmph the outer diameter of those wheels will misconfigure on rebound causing vehicle instability which is why they are only developed for low speed rated lite little buggy type vehicles such as what is pictured in the link :)Good tyres for golf buggies, not so good for cars.Many things have changed in 15 years.

Interesting guys, also agree with David about 'air tight' as other solutions as well suggest keeping things in the fridge, But the downfall of a Fridge is the moisture level can be very high. :)
Actually, airtight refrigerator storage containers are meant to retain moisture and keep things from drying out. Just like your air conditioner, moisture is removed from the air in the cooling process. If the door is kept shut, the humidity level in a fridge can go below 10%.35 MM is correct. :) The old film actually lasts a surprisingly long time.

Even nicer is it to have it sit in Google Chrome.
I have acquired the api and the scanning is quite good from inside the browser,
just click wait for the scan to have continued and wait for the results, like e.g.:

If you're correct, then they need to make some changes.
I stand corrected even though they are the ones who didn't make that obvious.I don't know if it actually scans emails or not but a general consensus is that doing that is not necessary as any malicious file will be scanned when it is opened or executed anyway. Email scanning is redundant. Actually scanning within compressed archives like .zip files is also really not needed and a waste of time when doing full scans of your machine.
I'm still looking for email protection ??? Didn't see that mentioned at all ???
(I also use Traffic Light)
Bob, You have had more snow in New Mexico than we have had in north central Oklahoma.Crazy weather. As you can see, there's more coming:
In the town in which I live we have had nada, zilch, zip in the way of snow. Last week we even had some wild fires.
Why we would advice against this program: http://www.sslenforcer.com/how-it-works/
because lot of users cannot use avast"s https scanning and it can cause issues on particular https connections.

If you want avast to keep you safe while you browse the net, then don't use a program like HTTPSEverywhere.Why we would advice against this program: http://www.sslenforcer.com/how-it-works/ (http://www.sslenforcer.com/how-it-works/)
because lot of users cannot use avast"s https scanning and it can cause issues on particular https connections.

Why would you use that when you can use the browser plug-in "HTTPS Everywhere" from EFF? It has its problems, mainly in the form of incomplete support on certain websites that cause said websites to break. But you can work around that easily by disabling "HTTPS Everywhere" on a per-site basis directly from a menu in the browser toolbar.

Last 50's here yesterday for a while; more like November now today than all month. Very unusual. Stretch of 20's and 30's f for the coming week or so, that is the usual. But forecast is to back to 50's again, so....Yesterday I was in Buckeye, AZ for a presentation:
Do not follow the guy's instructions. He says to use Hiram's Boot Disk to access the system. It requires you to change the SATA setting in your BIOS to use Native IDE. I have found out the hard way that if you do that (at least with Windows 10), the computer may boot once but if you go back into the BIOS and set the SATA controller back to using SATA therefore regaining the increased speed, the computer will not boot again and all attempts and methods of fixing it will not work. You will have to wipe the drive and do a complete reinstallation of Windows.

I'll be leaving for Florida at the beginning of 2016 for a month long presentation tour. The best parts of flying are the takeoff and landing.
Unless you have a parachute that is a pointless exercise. The two most dangerous times in flying, take-off and landing, parachutists are cutting down on that margin by not landing ;)
No, I hate flying and the takeoffs and landings are the biggest white knuckle times for me. Also when you hit turbulence and the plane shakes. I was in one once where the pilot tried to go over a thunderstorm but had to fly through it and lightning was hitting the wings and then we hit an air pocket and the plane dropped like 500 feet in a second or two. While the plane is in flight, I'm so keyed up that I can't sleep and if there's any bouncing at all, I can't read because it starts to make me airsick. I just flat out hate it. I'm not comfortable until I'm back on the ground.I'll be leaving for Florida at the beginning of 2016 for a month long presentation tour. The best parts of flying are the takeoff and landing.

That's just showing potential speed. The USB one is ac capable so of course it has a higher potential. My Ethernet status shows 100mbps (with no Ipv6 connectivity) but my actual internet speed is a max of 65 through my ISP and speed tests show me hitting that. I'd have to check what my laptop says for it's wireless connection but I bet it will say 72 even though it never receives higher than 35 in the speed tests.Here's the proof:I just added something new to my system.That's unusual that a USB Wi-Fi adapter works better than a built in one.

I don't have to do a speed test. The difference is obvious in everything I do on-line. :)That's great but I was just saying that USB wireless adapters are usually slower than built in ones. USB wireless is really meant for systems that have no built in wireless and cannot have an internal wireless card added to them. An internal card on PCIe is always better if it's working correctly. Yours may have driver or antenna problems and that could likely be a Dell issue. Yours is not the usual case but if it fixes the problems for only $30, go for it. :)

Bandwidth tests are most accurate when done at different times of day, and then averaged. Networks tend to be unstable anyway, and speeds can vary from minute to minute.

Interesting: Yes - Personal: DefinitelyR. I. P. Alfio
Alice's Dad (My father-in-law) Turns 94 on 6/11/2013
Alfio is a WW II veteran who served in North Africa from 1941 to 1943. He served with the 18th Infantry Regiment of the 1st Infantry Division (The Big Red One). Although he left the war with no visible scars he still suffers with PTSD. When he served it was called 'Shell Shock' the 'Battle Fatigue' but it's all the same thing. He still has nightmares and, unfortunately, his short term memory is fading. His long term memory is quite intact.
My brother has been his caretaker since 2005 which not very long before Alice had her transplant.
My brother also had a great idea:
"Alfio will be celebrating his 94th birthday on June 11th and a friend of mine suggested that we try to get him 94 physical birthday cards to overwhelm him on his birthday. I thought this was a great idea and posted it on my facebook page but I don't have a million friends (most of which I don't even know) and I have no way of knowing if this is going viral or not. If I get 50 cards that would be great but if I get 250 cards he will feel like Kris Kringle sitting in the courthouse just before Christmas.
I am asking each of you to send him a card this year. I am also asking you to reach out to anyone you know who knows Alfio (or just wants to honor a dying breed of WW II Vets). I will send our mailing address on the bottom of this letter. When the cards start coming I will put them all into a bundle and present them to him on his birthday. I will try to take a video of his reaction and post it on You Tube so that you can all see it.
We are not having a huge party this year because it may be a bit too much for him but the cards would be a great way to cheer him up and let him know how many people remember and care about him. We all tend to get caught up in our daily lives and I am as guilty as everyone else for doing that. Let's try to take 10 minutes out of our busy schedule to do this for someone before it is too late.
Thank you,
Rudy Gostischa
P.S.: Send cards to: Alfio A. Perugi
61 West 88th Street, Apt. 1R
New York, NY 10024"
So, if any of you feel like sending out a Birthday Card to Alfio, It certainly would make his birthday one heck of a nice day.
It will also most like be his last birthday. I'd like to see it turn out to be something he'll always remember.

Hey, me too, Sask and Manitoba. We had about 2 weeks here of weather like that, a balmy -16C today. I get a kick when I watch the news and its -5C in somewhere like Toronto and they have these big parkas on and actually think thats cold. You get used to it.

Wonder how many computers were already sold with the contaminated DRAM in them before the shut down.Nowhere does it say anything about contaminated DRAM being used on any equipment.
https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/inotera-dram-plant-shutdown-prices/ (https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/inotera-dram-plant-shutdown-prices/)
https://www.techspot.com/news/70003-malfunction-micron-fab-2-plant-could-raise-global.html (https://www.techspot.com/news/70003-malfunction-micron-fab-2-plant-could-raise-global.html)
Nowhere does it say anything about contaminated DRAM being used on any equipment...Exactly, "Nowhere does it say". I wonder what went on that hasn't been revealed.
I don't see how DRAM (dynamic random access memory) would become infected during manufacture...It's physical contamination they're talking about here, not malware or software related infection.
The shutdown was prompted by contamination of equipment caused by a faulty nitrogen gas dispensing system in the facility, which led to contamination of the DRAM wafers themselves
Which probably made them unusable. That would also explain why there wasn't any mention about using any of the contaminated DRAM.Let's hope.
Bet not too soon either. Still hot I'd say with 100's running all the way to Saturday 22nd.Not here:

An early morning visitor.

No hasenfeffer. I enjoy watching them. :) Would love to see some pictures of the ducklings.An early morning visitor.
<snip image>
For breakfast ;)
I have lots of early morning visitors, the pond at the back of my house has moorhens and mallard ducks. So far this year there have been two broods of moorhens and mallards. The mallards are a pain in the backside over 6 Drakes (male mallards) looking for Hens (female mallards) and territory.
The Mallards are thugs, constantly mugging the moorhens when they are taking food (that I give them) to their chicks. Hell they even steal food from the latest brood of mallard ducklings.
So far none of the previous broods have been moved on, so the pond is very full. Usually the moorhens when they reach adolescence help feed the current brood, if there is a third brood the adults chase off the first brood. The Mallards don't appear to do that and they have lots of fights and come and go as they please.
There is one saving grace, predation, a heron is a frequent visitor, usually to fish (goldfish, dumped and thriving), they also seem to be partial to young ducklings and moorhen chicks (not so much these). The first brood of ducklings started out at 12 of them but that soon dropped to just 6. So far the second brood of ducklings have fared better staring out at 11 and now only 9.
Both the moorhens and mallards camp out in my back garden waiting to be fed, I chase the adult mallards (keeps me active even after my walks) and feed the ducklings and moorhens.

The pond is reasonably big, a teardrop shape about 30 yards at its longest and 20 yards at its widest.
It won't be that long before these ducklings are big enough and whilst I can stand outside my back door and put some food out a few yards away they have no problem with my proximity. There are a lot of people in the village that come to the pond with their kids to feed the ducks, that is why there are so damn many of them.

Ha Ha, bring them on ;)
I used to have an old springer air-rifle and killed a lot of them coming into my back garden. By all accounts they like water and often live in the banks of ponds, etc. There is a pretty big pond at the back of my house, I would see them swimming across the pond towards my garden or in the garden.
Over the years I must have dispatched 50 or more, loading the old spring powered air-rifle took a bit of time and some would be gone by the time I was ready. But I was patient and waited a few minutes and often they would be taken when they came back.
A couple of years ago I bought a more modern PCP (Pre Charged Pneumatic) air-rifle and would you believe it I haven't seen a rat since then :)
I guess they must know, or are still giving my garden a wide berth or exclusion zone.

For lunch, I have a roast beef sandwich on multi grain bread.
For supper, grilled chicken breast and a salad - lettuce, tomatoes, cheese and ranch dressing.
This is almost as hard as giving up cigarettes (17 years ago).
I'll be on that diet for a total of 3 weeks and see what a difference it has made when get home and access to a scale.
It must be tough dieting away from home, mind you if you have lots to do it isn't too bad.
I don't like the idea of dieting I did it a few times many years ago. Having left the army and being sedentary didn't help though for the first four years or so I was pretty busy 14hr days, 51/2 days a week.
Now I pretty much eat anything within reason I usually burn up about 800 calories a day on my morning exercise, so I have a spare meal in hand (excuse the terrible pun) ;D

I'm more concerned about having my feet three feet apart (even worse 1m) and walking like a cowboy ;)Get better my friend. The only thing I've had are some old age allergies. Not that I'm allergic to old age,
Seriously though whilst all of this Corona-virus kicking off, I got a cold (not flu, had my flu jab last year) and there was little information on symptoms as the cold and flu have similar symptoms.
I determined I had the cold and acted accordingly and it has taken about 10 days to kick the worst of and I'm almost back to normal. I haven't missed a day going out for my morning exercise (I would have to be totally incapable) come rain, storms (we've had a few) in almost 6 years.

PUA detection in Windows Defender is doing a good job https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/wdsi/threats/malware-encyclopedia-description?Name=PUA:Win32/CCleaner&ThreatID=277099 (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/wdsi/threats/malware-encyclopedia-description?Name=PUA:Win32/CCleaner&ThreatID=277099)So Microsoft doesn't want their Defender turned off. I can't blame them.
What a shame that one security firm has to clean up software provided by another security company :P
Most other PUA detection software's will do the same thing and not something Microsoft has only just added to curb Google.I'm not defending Google or the prechecked installs. I'm simply stating some economic facts.
It's aim is to block any pre-checked software in all installers (not just Google as shown but Avast is also pre-ticked) with the 2004 update for the masses, though PUA has been possible to add through GPEDIT for quite some time.
Google is again in the Australian high court for deceptive practices - breaching privacy laws and data theft, I personally wouldn't touch anything Google and have all their web tracking blocked, I block Microsoft tracking also though I've found Microsoft far more upfront about their practices and openly provide the information to disable collective information.
Maybe Windows 10 should have been labeled as a PUP? In addition to the OS, it installed a lot of additional crap not needed. :)Yeah, early Win 10 builds contained loads of crap that needed turning off or removing if possible, the later builds improved greatly by remembering deleted/disabled choices...and by the time 2004 build rolled out we could even remove Cortana :)

This isn't particularly clear.
How do they determine what are High Quality photos and videos, that won't count towards that 15GB limit.
For me does it matter if they are high or medium or low quality, they all need to be stored so 'space' is required.
In your image, it mentions "all Photos and Videos backed up before June 1st 2021 are exempt from this change and will not count towards Google Account storage."
To me that means from this date onwards your new 15GB limit starts.

Hopefully Dove chocolate smells (and tastes) a bit different to Dove soap... unless you have covid symptoms that is. In that case seek a second opinion, but make sure they don't eat all your bunny.My taste is fine. Alice and I have both been vaccinated. :)

Not to mention a very expensive one, and I'm wasn't over the moon of its mileage per full charge about 20% less than a tank of fuel. There hasn't been much said about battery deterioration over time and number of charges. All other batteries, like your laptop lose the capacity over time, if Electric Vehicles are the same that mileage per full charge is also going to go down.
Then there is the cost of replacing them when that time comes (8 years ?), the closer to that time the less you are likely to get when you sell it (if you can even sell it). Currently there are too many question marks.
A vehicle that I was looking at from the same company as my existing petrol burner is between 3.5 and 4 times the price if purchasing. Given the above question marks, is it worth leasing and what would be the comparative running costs.
So it looks like I could be running my three year old very low mileage car until end of life the cars or mine :)
Some of the point raised in the article are a disgrace and I would hope local Governments would take action against such restrictive practices.

I find it hard to see anyOne (excuse the terrible pun) having a need for 30 device license.That link offers an excellent price on both the 5 device and 30 device license which I'm sure

It isn't the price that I question, but 30 devices, that would need to be a fairly large extended family. Not everyone is using all 4 types of OS - Windows, Android, Apple or Ios - so that would mean even more in the extended family.
If these licenses have to be managed through one account the IT guy for that extended family has some work on ;)
I mean looking at the forums for instances those who have purchased a license through Google Play have to deal with Google Play (and probably the Apple App store) for renewal etc. I don't know how they would get around that.
I simply can't see the need for a 30 device license.

Yes, when the wind is blowing - No, when it isn't :)
No - The wind was not blowing this morning and the windmill wasn't spinning. :)
Something very interesting this morning when in the local town, I often see people bring their dogs into town with them. But this morning I saw woman with a pure white Ferret on a long leash. I had to do a double take to make sure my eyes weren't playing tricks on me.
Seems it isn't that unusual - https://www.alamy.com/stock-photo/ferret-on-a-lead.html?sortBy=relevant (https://www.alamy.com/stock-photo/ferret-on-a-lead.html?sortBy=relevant)
The one I saw was pure white and not in the least frightened about all the people walking about and long white tail held parallel to the footpath. Unfortunately it was only a fleeting view, so no time to get a picture myself.
The main body is still the original one shown in the photo on the first post.
I've had to replace the windmill itself as shown in the current picture.
Freak weather and snow didn't quite make it to you then. Or has it simply melted.Snow was only at elevations over 6000 ft. I'm at 5000. ft so for us it was rain.
Now that's what you call a tumbleweed

To me, this sounds like a logical and very well thought out answer. Not like something simply arrived via a smart algorithm.

General (or “strong”) AI
General AI is more like what you see in sci-fi films, where sentient machines emulate human intelligence, thinking strategically, abstractly and creatively, with the ability to handle a range of complex tasks. While machines can perform some tasks better than humans (e.g. data processing), this fully realized vision of general AI does not yet exist outside the silver screen. That’s why human-machine collaboration is crucial—in today’s world, artificial intelligence remains an extension of human capabilities, not a replacement.
The reply you received points out the fact that a Google search result is very cut and dry. Just the facts, nothing but the facts.

That’s why human-machine collaboration is crucial—in today’s world, artificial intelligence remains an extension of human capabilities, not a replacement.

I can understand why you would have YouTube Premium, having a channel, etc.
But for me I have never considered it for the time I spend on YouTube. Though I do a little more now, mainly following the War in Ukraine.

You would have to ask AI that question. I don't know if this forum isn't using AI for some of the replies. :)

Something this brought to mind - applying for a job using AI and having it checked by AI and getting a reply by AI. Would it land the job :)
Yes... AI is a real risk and danger in the future, very similar to a movie called Terminator... NEVER trust AI

I guess you didn't watch my video. AI is only dangerous when used improperly or when trusted to always give correct information. The danger is in the user using it improperly.Yes... AI is a real risk and danger in the future, very similar to a movie called Terminator... NEVER trust AI

Don't tell me, next episode is "Hyde Park" :)I've already mentioned the next episode in the post. Guess you don't notice that. (Plains GA)
I guess Bob's next project is a sunshade for his mailbox, before his mail goes up in flames.I'm hoping the excessive heat will burn up the junk mail. :)

It's nice to know that you are still doing your daily runs. Unfortunately as we get older, those important activities seem to go by the wayside. I know there are some of those exercises that I used to do religiously that seem to have gone by the wayside. Keep it up.More Snow?

I'm not sure I should say we are lucky a couple of spindrift snow flurries but damn cold and more wet and miserable. My daily runs over the last month or so have been really tough. I don't stay in but dress for the weather and go out. My only concession is I have a good weather app and try to plan to go in a gap or light rain period.
I have some good (read, very expensive) running wet weather gear which is very waterproof whilst also being very breathable. Ordinarily with cheap waterproofs, you get wet from the inside rather than the outside.

We haven't has so much snow this Winter, but a hell of a lot of rain and strong winds.
The one thing I'm thankful for is not much ice, even though temps have been very low at times. It can be really dangerous in icy conditions on my daily exercise.
At the most we had 1meter here (3.2ft) now its about 30cm (1ft)Winters Last Hurrah - I Hope
