Try telling that to Steve Gibson....

I was under the impression it was a Linksys router with a sign on it that said "do not unplug".

Worse, I've seen him on Fox News. Yes, they really put him on TV to talk about something in the news. Whats funny is Fox News also runs commercials about buying real estate in Belize.

younow.com, the website that took over blogTV earlier in the year exclusively uses Facebook in order to authenticate users.

Now we're just waiting for YouTube to do the same....

Windows 8 removes the F8 boot menu. Makes getting into Safe Mode interesting when you can't boot a machine and tell it to run Safe Mode. I have read that pressing Shift+F8 is supposed to do the trick now, but I haven't gotten it to work.

Its not illegal per say, the law just limits a corporation to two retail licenses to sell alcohol. That being said, Coors is extremely popular in NJ for some reason.

The Power Macintosh debuted in March 1994, running a mostly emulated operating system and applications. Until native applications were available, a Quadra was better in terms of performance. The fastest platform for running 68k Mac applications was actually an Amiga running a Macintosh emulator and a 68060 CPU upgrade. Don't discount the 68000, Apple kept selling low cost Macs (Powerbook 100 and Mac Classic) with them all the way until September 1992.

Any high end Amiga is going to be rare in the US. They were primarily sold as Video Toaster workstations here. The platform was far more popular in Europe. Things like leaking NiCad clock batteries and capacitors have taken many of them out of service however.

CPU-wise they were equal to Macs. The circa 1992 Amiga 4000 came with 25Mhz 68030 and 68040 CPUs. Most mass market Macs were shipping with 68030s with the 040 reserved for the new and expensive Quadra. Where the 4000 really lagged was graphics. The AGA chipset was easily outclassed by Apple's onboard video systems, and that is saying ALOT. Sound was still competitive, but not for very long as even PCs got "16bit" sound in the form of the PAS16 and Soundblaster 16.

Lotus Notes.... *shiver*. That client screams 1995. It still uses .INI files for its configuration the last time I set it up for a family member (they since switched to an Exchange server). The setup sheet the IT dept gave her for the client was 3 pages long and very technical.

If you have access to your Exchange server's web interface, try this.

Ever had to check multiple e-mail boxes? Not everyone can forward their mail to one account. Logging in and out of multiple web interfaces is a PITA, one click and all my accounts are available via IMAP.

Most cars with an electronic parking brake require that it be put into a service mode to change the rear pads. Most cars will disable the ABS/Traction Control function while the controller is in diagnostics mode, but the braking system will still function and stop the car.
