This is one reason where I love the fact that Adobe has gone to activation so I can say: "Sorry you can't have photoshop as we are out of activations. Talk to (X) to get them to buy you a copy." Office workers that just need to crop a photo does not need photoshop.

"Playing electric guitar your whole life does something to you. I'm convinced all that electricity racing through my body made me keep my hair." He needs to ask Peter Frampton about how well playing the guitar has been on his hair.

Woah! Prince is still making music? I thought he was doing county fairs with Quiot Riot and The Monkees.

When you conceder that the majority of the attempts are automated bots so moving port would reduce the amount of scans. The scans that do happen after that you can at least assume they are spending more time on your server. I moved mine and the failed attempts dropped entirely.

High end audio was in the Venetian for at least 2 years and that meant people had open rooms with the furnature moved to show off speakers and gear. That practice has been going on for decades in hotels and I can't imagine why they would suddenly kick people out unless it was an individual stupidity.

What is weird about this is the High end audio rooms have been at the Venetian for at least 2 years now and much business and product is shown off there. I can only think some companies did something weird and stupid.
