You can use the SC in the command line to enable the service when you need it and disable it when you don't using a BAT file. (sc config servicenamehere start= disable)
Well, clearly this will never be the year of the windows desktop until users never have to interact with the commandline for anything. They should scrap entirely in fact because users should never need it.
Right click on 'My Computer' -> Click 'Manage' -> Expand the tree and find 'Services' -> right click the service you would like to disable -> click 'Properties' -> disable it -> click ok.. Yes, because that's so much easier than running that simple command.

Funny thing about science, it's not evidence that generates a hypothesis. The hypothesis causes the scientist to come up with an experiment to test his theory (hypothesis), this experiment can either support it and make evidence, or refute or damage his hypothesis. And the merry-go-round goes on and on. :)

but i cant really put a big antenna on my apartment building.
KD0KYW here, you don't need a big antenna to break into HAM. I only have a handheld 2 meter radio with a 1/4 wave antenna on it. With that radio I can hit repeaters 20+ miles away and have conversations with people way farther away than that.

You can get a radio and station without a license, however, keep your finger off that transmit button.

Power goes out? You think I would rely on the power company for my precious servers? Hell no. I have my own generators - an array of solar, wind, steam, and diesel. It's all within the 18 million dollar budget.
You left out coal, oil, and nuclear. I have 3 of each sitting in my back yard. (solar, wind, steam, and diesel)

So if you can detect that the user is attempting to install a keylogger, shouldn't you log them out and disable their account?
