Activision just announced that the Destiny subscriber base is over 25 million IIRC and they have expanded paid DLCs by adding microtransactions for cosmetic items. Lots of life left in its projected 10 year life span (despite the critics claiming its a flop)

Another +1 for the TP-Link 1043ND, I've had mine running for about 9 months without a reboot.... rock solid.

Cudos to the developers, I used XBMC for years and was continually impressed with their efforts. Great bit of software IMHO.

I only recently switched to PCH's in the bedrooms due to the inability (hardware limitation) to play HD content and wireless support.

Maybe, but TFA points out that once a range is blocked it becomes mostly useless for a legitmate business to re-utilise it, thus contributing to the ever shrinking IPV4 pool of addresses.

We deploy nothing else, all of our HP kit has been fine... the 2 laptops that did break were repaired quickly and with no fuss, and we run XP on all of them, even the newest Elitebooks. Admittedly we aren't the biggest shop around, but 500+ clients and around 80 notebooks is a reasonable sample set of data to base the above on..

Yup, we just purchased a Verity degausser to wipe some drives before donating them to charity and have found that the servo track is wiped and they become completely useless... Â£1800 wasted, but it's damn fun to wipe things with!

In XP anytime you use Windows Update or the newer Microsoft Update it uses I.E. It's changed in Vista.

Good luck with your narrow views and *shudder* atkins style diet. I think you'll find that a balanced diet with moderate exercise is best for weight loss and overall health.
