Comment Full restore (Score 1) 823

When I set my parents up I had purchased a program that would fully restore the system on every boot. They could save files in the 'My Documents' folder but anything else they did was wiped clean. They could even do a format C. It was nice because no matter what they did all they needed to do was restart the computer to restore it back to what was 'normal' for them. Every visit I unlocked the system and updated everything and then locked it down again. Not too bad but they only accessed the internet via a dial-up. I think some of the newer programs that will 'refresh on restart' can be configured to automatically apply the windows and virus updated.

Comment No court no appeal process (Score 1) 619

No if RIAA says your account is at fault and your ISP cuts you off can you appeal? What about lost productivity? I really do not want my ISP monitoring my connection. It is like asking the postal service to open all your mail that you send and receive. What about the getting the phone company to monitor all your phone calls. Well you are at it get monitor in your houses and cars so home builders and car manufactures can monitor you as well. Where does it stop. I really hope the ISP tell the RIAA to F off. When will some people with enough money band together to total fight the RIAA to the end.

Comment DST (Score 4, Interesting) 755

I have always found it a funny topic. The politician like to think they have so much power by implement DST or not. Has anyone ever told them they can control the real number of hours of sunlight through legislation? I remember one local politician saying DST would give farms an extra hour of day light! Wow I thought - how could they have such power over the cosmos.
