Comment Re:When I saw this, I didn't know what it was (Score 1) 413

When I killed my svchst.exe on a clean VM, it took down its XP's blue GUI theme to go back to classic theme. Haha.

Anyways, just turn off Automatic Updates and run Windows/MS Updates manually when you're ready to have your system be hogged for a while (could be hours if it is a very slow machine!).

Comment Fiber is not more valuable/importANT than copper? (Score 1) 184

Bah, I'd take fiber over copper for Internet connections. But then who would provide Internet for me?

Hello Verizon FIOS that took over GTE? I am sick of your crappy phone systems on copper. Terrible connections with dial-up (lots of line noises and never go to faster than 26400-31200 speeds even on 56k modems), no DSL due to distances over 20K ft. from COs, etc. Frak your expensive limited wireless services. :(
