I smelled formaldehyde from the exhaust following one of them.

So how fast does it accelerate to 62.5 mph?

This may be slightly off topic but I'm very careful whom I give my number to. I do get human calls from certain businesses like car servicing/hotel/insurance surveys and I'm comfortable with that as I gave them my contact number.
What gets me is I also receive calls from charities, solar sellers, telco sellers etc, so someone is trading my ph number. I have blocked these (many are voip) and currently I get none of them. However every time I'm asked for my number, I ask why and often refuse to give it to them as there are other ways they can contact me.
So you can be proactive here and not share your number especially if it is not required. Otherwise block, block, block!

Meh! I bought a new HP x510 just recently. It's now orphaned and WHS v1 fully updated and running 2003 server Sp2 so it should recognise >2TB drives. I got it because the hardware specs were much better than equivalent current NAS boxes. So after installing 3 x 3TB drives in it, the WHS software trashed one of the drives (set as a WHS backup and not pooled) because I copied just over 2TB of files onto it, even though RDing into the box showed the 2003 server could handle the size, WHS couldn't.
So now I've got 2 partitions on each drive. 1 at about 1.98TB and another just under 1TB. WHS still can't pool them, but I created shares that are perfectly accessible.
Before I did this, I used it as intended for backups with WHS and worked on 1 out of 3 machines. I'm still playing with it and I'll install a 2TB OS drive later on. Otherwise there's quite a few backup solutions out there that can backup to the shares I've created.
I'm not worried though as I can do a headless install Win 8.1 (it has drive pooling) or look around for another OS as long as it works OK with stock drivers.

I like cracking my soft boiled egg pointy side up.

Good point. Somehow all the attention focussed on Kaspersky makes me think that they are not duty bound in any way to western intelligence. They have the resources to harden their software. Unfortunately it comes down to a matter or trust. Do you trust Kaspersky because they are not in the big 5 or do you trust the home grown product?
In the end I don't trust any of them, but I run Kaspersky to stop virii and most malware on a critical Win machine. It just makes me angry that security, lo that the net itself is so full of holes that hardening my systems becomes impossible. Not only that, but it is difficult to find out IF you've been hacked.

It'll be cheaper for them to buy Windows 10 licences.

I honestly thought this was a joke.

I thought they were 'pinged'....

It's one of those desert island scenarios when the kids send you away and maybe visit on birthdays.
I'll be happy with a gaming laptop and some choice games. Maybe I'll spend the children's inheritance on Steam ;) and those nurses better be pretty as I'm practising to be a dirty old man.
Maybe Slashdot will have a version for us, the permanently baffled....

Except that there is no agreement on how much data the Library of Congress actually has.
"Though some sources have suggested that 10 terabytes represents the total quantity of data stored at the Library of Congress, this is a significant underestimate, given that the Web Archiving program had by itself collected 525 terabytes of data as of July 2014. A slide from a September 2012 presentation by a Library of Congress storage engineer furthermore noted institutional storage capacity in excess of 27 petabytes, casting further doubt on the accuracy of the 10 terabyte number as applied to the entire holdings."

I don't get what you're on about. I respect the first AC's comment and I never disagreed with it. How could I? In fact, my followup comment tried to show what opinions are out there currently as far as driver issues and suspicions about game code, what a real system builder is up against when there is money to spare and you have clients who can afford it.
I suppose it's easy to assume that 'I build gaming systems' equates to someone who whacks a few boards together and loads Windows and knows nothing about what they're doing. I do and I care and support my systems and clients.
The 2nd AC was just rude.
