I believe Bing comes with each copy

Being "godless" makes them smarter in my book, and since "hell" doesn't exist, I am fairly sure they aren't worried about that.

If you say so... Just sad seeing bigotry and ignorance where ever it appears.

Not sure "Anonymous Coward" has ever been more appropriate than for you...

These cut are a step in the right direction, But I would love to see them cut the size in half. I'm an American and do not like what we have been doing in the years since 9/11. That being said there are a lot of countries that rely on the U.S. to be their protectors and I am tired of that also. So many countries can afford to be prosperous because they don't need to spend much on military, let them fund their own military and we can spend our money here, where we need it. All our military is really doing is pissing the rest of the world off anyway.

I was thinking the same thing, I think about 1 cm sounds closer.

"there's this book..."

That is similar to what I have been doing for years, I have a base password, then I add characters generated for the domain name using my own algorithm. Easy to figure out in a few seconds and every PW is different.

I posted that, it was an accident posting anonymously. You sure make a well thought out point...smh

Obviously there are "bad" people in all walks of life, including the police, but it is the vast minority. Generally speaking, people that have trouble with the police, have a reason they were involved with them in the first place. You didn't like how they handled your drug arrest?

There are so many thugs, punks, gang members etc. out there, the officers doesn't always have the luxury of assuming whoever they are dealing with is a "good guy", that might get him killed. If you live your life in a matter that doesn't attract police attention, most likely you will have no problem with them and respect them for what they do, you might try it sometime. I get pissed if/when I get a speeding ticket, but I am not really mad at the cop as much as myself.

It seams to have similar characteristics to this banana!

Wearable, like Google glass or smart watches are a step toward a very integrated computing experience. Although I don't believe it will be as crude or pervasive as the Borg, I think we are headed in that direction. When you can send and/or read a text, or message, by thinking it, how long till verbal communication is gone? Thought control over your computer/smart phone/eye glasses, whatever, will be here sooner or later.

It will be a fundamental change in the human experience.

Are you kidding, Intellivision was the the console to have in its day.

Avast only kind of requires registration. I always put in bogus name and email (dsda@sa.sds or something) and that's all that's needed.

To run browser(s)? If she is using web based email, then all her online actions are through Linux. I would think that would be more secure than Linux host/Windows guest. It doesn't necessarily need to be in seamless mode, but it might be more user friendly to her if it is.

You seemed to have missed this part of TFA, "I would love to switch her to Linux, but she struggles with change and wants to stay with Vista and MS Office."
