    relief for flood victims

    The Alberta gov't said it will provide funding for flood relief to the victims, BUT, If they stay where they are, or don't do anything to mitigate the flood hazard in the future, next ime, they will get squat. This bugs me. Why is the home owner on the hook for all this, while the guy that...

    It will be illegal in the US to get youe cell phone unlocked

    In the US, it will be illegal to get your phone unlocked to carrier. I understand why they want to do this, but the fact of essentially creating a monopoly for each of the cell phone carriers, whoever a customer has signed on with, is Un-American. Competition is the core of Capitalism. It's...

    I have a question that maybe someone is able to answer. My sister has a Sony Blu-ray player, model # BDP-S780, hooked up to an HDTV, via an HDMI cable playing back at 1080P. Whenever we put in a Blu-ray disc, and played the movie, the audio was out of sync with the video. Sometimes it catches...

    Alberta spends $14 million to combat syphilis, STDs

    Really? I can think of better ways to spend that money, like education, seniors care, etc... My personal opinion on the subject, is that most people who contract an STD (STI) , more than likely deserve it. I personally believe that abstinence is the only 100% solution. If one engages in...

    The artist that created Mike Tyson's tatoo, the tatoo that is being parodied in "The Hangover 2", is suing for copy write infringement, because apparently the studio releasing that movie, doesn't have permission to use the image. The Studio admitted that delaying the release would cost them a...

    what is considered "hacking"

    The reason I ask, is a guy got charged with "hacking" into his wife's e-mail account, even though he actually got in with a legit password, on his own computer no less. The password was found in the house somewhere. He suspected his wife was having an affair, it turns out he was right, and...

    Another Dog Biting Incident

    I'm getting tired of hearing about dog biting incidents, in public. The solution is simple, a muzzle. In Germany and other parts of Eastern Europe, dogs are allowed virtually everywhere, including restaurants, and all forms of public transportation. All that is required, is the animal be...

    computer virus

    I had an idea today, and I was wonder if it would be theoretically possible. I was wondering if it is possible to embed a virus into a video file, to be let loose, so to speak once you try to play it. I'm not into malicious stuff like that, and wouldn't know where to start anyway. I thought...

    A-Team: The Movie

    So, they made a movie from the old series, "The A-Team". I don't think that I can see this movie, because Liam Neeson as Hannibal, ruins it for me. I think he was severely mis-cast. So I'm posing the question to you, who do you think would make a good Hannibal? Who came to mind for me was...

    Hi, me again, and I'm asking for help one more time. I'm hoping this group can help me figure out the title of a movie I saw a long time ago on TV. I think it may have been from the 80's. It was definitely a comedy, and I think it was a medical themed movie. I don't remember much from it...

    is there a BEST method for malware removal?

    Hey, What I'm looking for are opinions, and why you think so. I know, I know, preventative action is best, but if you get one, now what? One school of thought is to use a "live cd", like BartPE, or a Linux live cd. I booted with BartPE, and ran the scans with a portable version of Clamwin...

    viruses and operating systems

    You always hear that Macs aren't as prone to virus and malware attacks as PC's, why? I just finished dealing with some nasty viruses, trojans and such, and think Iv'e got them licked (fingers crossed). As an example, lets say I'm running a windows based machine, and download an mp3 file, and...
