  1. If you click the 'Start' button, click Windows Updates, click Update History, you should find an error code if you double-click on the update that keeps failing. Google that Error Code and I'm sure you'd find some resolutions from people who had the same error. That's what I usually do when I have trouble with an update.
  2. I've never run into this one. It seems that fake AV is the malware of choice these days. Hear about a new one everyday. Here are some instructions on it. Not sure if you've already tried this...it might take some time. Google is your friend with these things. Pretty much all these malware programs will have some removal step-by-steps out there somewhere. Don't purchase any removal programs..I've never had to buy anything to remove crap like this and I do it quite often. Anyways...http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/virus-removal/remove-windows-remedy
  3. Wow. 22 out of 24 correct this year. Just got Costume Design (I picked The King's Speech) and Cinematography (I picked True Grit) wrong. I even guessed the Documentaries right, which never happens. Happy moments: * Trent Reznor winning for Original Score. It was weird seeing him so dapper. * God of Love winning Live Action. Really, really loved this film. I was rooting for this one more than any of the other awards. Go download it on iTunes if you haven't seen it yet...$2.00.
  4. Mainly $$$. Spammers might pay big bucks for a virus that can get them a lot of 'zombie' computers out there to flood with spam or spread their spam to other computers. There are probably enough people out there to buy the crap the spammers are trying to get people to buy. Another obvious reason is identity theft. Also there are some people out there who just get a kick out of creating something and seeing it work on a big scale or who try to out-do others in their little underworld to see who can cause the most damage. I don't know what exactly 'Think Point' does, but if it is like all those other fake antivirus programs, a pop-up might come up and say 'you have viruses, buy our software to get rid of them'. A lot of people probably fall for that...they buy the fake software and cha-ching! Mission accomplished. I've had calls at work and the person will say 'My computer says I have viruses and it is asking me to purchase this software to remove it. I don't want to do that, right?' The fact that they even ask that question tells me that a lot of people probably fall for it if they aren't really aware of these types of scams.
  5. When you get your new computer, take the old hard drive out of your old computer, pop open your new computer and plug it in as a slave drive. Then when you boot it will show 2 hard drives. Copy the files you want from your old drive to your new drive. Or buy one of these things...my favorite invention EVER. Just plug in the hard drive to the specific adapter, wait 30 seconds for the hard drive to boot up, and then plug in the USB to your computer. Once your computer finds it, copy your files from your old hard drive, or just leave it plugged in as an external drive.
  6. Good call. The Clash - London Calling is far and away my #1. I don't think it will ever be overtaken. Rest of my top 5: The Replacements - Let It Be Iggy and the Stooges - Raw Power Nine Inch Nails - Pretty Hate Machine The Velvet Underground & Nico
  7. Yes, there are professional athletes with Type 1 diabetes, but when were they diagnosed? As a Type 1 diabetic who was diagnosed at age 19, it's quite a frightening thing to go through. I was afraid to leave my parents house for months after being diagnosed. After 11 years with it, I'm sure I could be comfortable signing a professional contract (not that I am even remotely athletic or anything) because I know what I have to do, know my limits, etc. to take care of myself, but if I were to be offered a contract shortly after I was diagnosed...no question I'd have to turn it down. It's not like millions of dollars will make it go away or make it any easier to deal with. A millionaire with type 1 diabetes has to check their blood sugar multiple times a day, take enough, but not too much insulin, count carbs just like my broke butt has to do.
  8. He was signed out of the Dominican Republic. 17 years old and currently on the DSL squad.
  9. That's interesting. I do not recall any bad blood from earlier this year. Nothing jumps out at me looking at their previous meetings. And it's not like Lawrie could take exception to a previous pitch (since there was only 1 pitch thrown). Maybe they took exception to something Rogers did in the top half. Quick game for Chattanooga's pitcher though. 1 pitch, 1 hit batter. Ha!
  10. No, but he is still in A ball with the Oriols annd this season hasn't been pretty for himHe was released by the O's earlier this month.
  11. Different level, same results for Arnett. What is going on??? Another dismal performance.
  12. The DSL squad had a good day. 24 runs. Check out the ERAs for those Athletics' pitchers. Ouch.
  13. I know it will be posted eventually..but here ya go. DSL Brewers Box Score: http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?sid=milb&t=g_box&gid=2010_05_29_dbwrok_dmrrok_1
  14. Emil Sick The man who joined baseball & beer together.
  15. John Hillerich, CEO of Hillerich & Bradsby...aka Louisville Slugger?
  16. Don't look at the Sounds' box score if you are a Zach Braddock fan. Very yucky.
  17. As a big Arizona State baseball fan, I must point out that last year's 39th round pick, Brady Rodgers has been stellar for the Sun Devils this year. In 16 games he has allowed just 37 hits and 9 walks and struck out 53 with a 1.44 ERA (in 56.1 innings). He threw 8 shutout innings on Friday allowing just 2 hits against #20 Arizona.
  18. I will be there. Can't wait. 5th T'Rats game in the past 7 days! Blammo. Best week since the Brewers moved out of Beloit.
  19. You can pick them up at the bank. At least we sell them at the bank I work at. I'd assume it's the same everywhere else. They are actually through 13 presidents so far with the next one to be released in May (Franklin Pierce). It started in 2007 and they release 4 per year. Just ask any teller and they should be able to help you.
  20. They probably say 'America's Dairyland' I'm guessing.
  21. You can get pepper spray for dogs. Small dose should send it running for the hills. If you do go that route, make sure you know how to spray it effectively. Like if you spray and miss and the dog comes after you, you don't want to be wildly spraying it all over yourself or your own dog.
  22. The cables inside the computer LOVE to get all up in the fan on the heat shield. So make sure the fan isn't rubbing against any of the cables. Open the case up, pull all the cords from the power supply out away from the fan and see if it still makes the noise. If that seems to be the problem, just make sure you arrange the cables inside so that none of them will be pushed into the fan when you put the case back on.
  23. I have Sprint for my personal phone. Unlimited text, unlimited data, pretty much unlimited nationwide calling (free mobile-to-mobile calling...my 450 minutes only count toward land lines), have GPS, get my work email and I pay $69.99. Pretty much a dream plan. I have an iPhone for work. I think the plan costs around $130 or so (not sure since I don't have to pay for it). My Sprint (Palm Pre) phone has just about everything I use on the iPhone so far. iPhone is faster on the Internet but I have better coverage/reception with Sprint.
