I don't know, I think receiver might be an option. Just tape some Trojans to the football and toss it her way.

It all comes down to what and how things are installed. I have a single XP image (moving to a W7 image this summer) for my application development, web development, and sql reporting groups that does not have any issues. Apps include Creative Suite, Visual Studio, SQL Management Tools, Office, assortment of browsers, multimedia apps, etc. In general the usual breakdown of Windows issues is as follows: 1. Overwhelming majority is due to crappy drivers (video, sound, etc.) 2. Crappy software applications 3. Faulty hardware (memory, hard drive, etc.) 4. Actual OS bugs.

Ah yes, the early days of the mac. No you didn't have to worry about malware you just had to deal with extension hell and crappy memory management. Thankfully they have progressed since those days. Although OSX really didn't become somewhat usable until 10.1.5 and much more usable with 10.2. I agree, Windows architecture pre-Vista blew major chunkage.

If there is a bluescreen, there should be a crash dump file in C:\Windows\minidump\ that your tech folks should be able to analyze to figure out the cause.

I love this comment:

FYI, that is not a wise assumption. Apple has sat on their asses just like other companies have when it comes to vulnerabilies. Not a bigee. I hope it was good wine though and not an old bottle of Boone's Farm Tickle Pink wine...

Out of curiousity, is the PC crash a blue screen or app crash?

Oh where to begin.... 1. Windoze koolaid?!? Give me a break, I support Windows: Servers and desktops as well as Macs at work. I have seen both sides of the argument and know better than to believe the fan boy hype of either side. 2. Yes, there are more viruses out there for PC's. That's what you get for having the lead market share. Was XP lacking in security architecture? Undoubtedly. It was released in 2001 and the last major update was in 2004 w/SP2. That changed significantly with Vista (I am referring to the under the hood changes, the surface layer blew chunks) and the changes were further refined in Windows 7 with stuff *still* not present in OSX 10.6 (one example, lookup Address Space Layout Randomization). Linux and the BSDs already have it. There are many more threats out there besides viruses that the macs are susceptible too. Examples include: rootkits (osxrk, togroot and weaponx), fake codec trojans, keyloggers, etc. These days most bad guys are focusing on phishing scams/social engineering to pwn machines regardless of OS. Javascript is a common tool implment these attacks which Safari is especially vulnerable too. The geniuses at Apple sandboxed a portion of the apps on OSX to keep it from getting pwn'd (which is good), but they didn't do that with the cesspool known as Safari. Thus bad guys are still able to exploit vulnerable apps that Safari can open on the Mac. I can go on about other stuff such as LaunchD (the mother of all processes for OSX) exploits, etc. So things are not quite as peachy as you would like to believe. 3. Paying for the next service pack?!? Oh that is rich. What the hell do you think OSX 10.6 is?!? It's a glorified service pack!

Look there are plenty of qualified strength coaches out there who disagree about having players do squats. For instance, the Vikings under Denny Green and Steelers in the mid 90's used hi-intensity training with Hammer equipment. One of the reasons cited to me at a conference back then was risk of injury. They said, try explaining to a head coach that their star player cannot play because he blew out a knee from squats when there are other effective exercises available. That being said, there are obviously other qualified strength coaches out their who feel differently (i.e. the new Bills staff). From my personal experience I knew Pat Moorer, now director of strength and conditioning at Louiville, back when he was at Illinois. In general, he believed in having his players do squats. Keep in mind, not every athlete is cut out for squats due to a variety of factors (i.e. morphology, injuries, etc.).

Happy B-Day!

Typical mac boy fanism. Try to doing some research instead of believing what Steve tells you.

Happy B-Day you wanker!

The Giants were the team and I believe Ernie Acrosi (sp) was still the GM.

He stole Chuck Lester's pictures.

Actually it is about ensuring equal rights to all people not imposing pro-gay beliefs. You know, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Items that the constitution was constructed to ensure. Your beliefs would deny people of those rights.

Or maybe she would render a decision based off the constitution and not off religious belief. You're obviously entitled to your view, but imposing religious beliefs on to others is not in the constitution.

89. I knew I had too many years of misery ahead of me

Well, let's see...if she is a lesbian: 1. The nuts on the right will be in a moral outrage because everyone should fall in line with their religious beliefs. 2. The nuts on the left will want to glorify her for their own idiot agendas. Meanwhile , General Franco is still dead.

Belated Happy B-Day! SDS says an iPad is on the way

Looks like someone totally missed the innuendo...

Sudo, really, sudo?!? Dude, real men logon as root!

Building through the draft does not necessarily mean stockpiling picks. It means hitting on the picks you have. If Buddy didn't like the deal, then so be it. I like the players we got. Maybe it is just me, but I really don't understand the infatuation with Clausen. I never found him that impressive. He was passed over twice by us, that tells you the front office's opinion of him. Personally, I don't put much stock in these draft grades. You look back 3 years from now and then we'll see if these teams with "high" grades panned out.
