I thought it was going to be about people who believed they were living in the past, i.e. periods of history.

They requested a 10k overdraft that they would have been liable to repay within the terms of the agreement - presumably the 8mil would have also been in overdraft form so legally they still have to repay it as if it were just the 10k they requested.
Current Balance: NZ$ -8mil
Saying that I would do exactly the same. I'm gonna go check my balance..

Had these when visitng my parents this weekend and had to go buy some afterwarda

Geomat – The main issue with firefox memory consumption is caused by the performance enhancements that come from Fast access memory based caching for images and other cacheable objects. It’s quicker to retrieve images, pages and scripts from a memory based cache then a disk based cache and so if you load a page with a large CSS or allot of images you will use more memory.
It’s always a trade off in this situation as to whether you can spare the memory in order to gain a performance increase in browsing – allot of people seem to think more spare memory = better performance which to a point is true but it does get to a point where you’re paid for this memory so you may as well use it to increase performance of common tasks.
Some things you can do to reduce memory consumption if you want follow:
- ditch un-needed themes, extensions, toolbars..... all these will consume memory under the firefox process and if you don’t use them what’s the point.
- When you minimize then maximise an application then windows will attempt to trim excess memory as it becomes a background process – you may not save allot but you may save a little.
- Restart firefox if your memory footprint – this will clear the memory cache
- About:config is the parameters for firefox to run under. There are numerous settings in here to tune firefox far too many to go into but Google is your friend.
- I’ve not tried this one because when I used firefox I set it to clear download history on shutdown but apparently a bloated firefox download history can consume memory.
Again with processes and what you need and dont need google is the font of allknowledge - but my rule is if I dont recognise it ditch it. Msconfig will also show you the path to the process so if the path is C:\program files\Really fucking important\process.exe then you probably shouldnt get rid.
hope it helps

It was something like "Hey, is this you?" With an official looking link. After he clicked the link it sent the same message to everyone in his buddy list. Now his PC acts as little more than an in room billboard, ads upon ads. I ran spyware seach and destroy and adaware on his PC, but it still has MAD pop ups. Any idead?

start > run > MSconfig - go to the startup tab and remove anything that looks shady - for example keep anythign to do with the applications you use (winzip, aim, MS Office, winamp, msn messenger.. ) and if it sounds dodgy then it probably is... This will stop whatever nasty shit is starting when you boot up your PC (this requires a reboot).
If that doesnt help download 'HiJack This' (can be easily found with a google search) and do pretty much the same with that.

Alright, stupid question but...
My USB port thing is completely fucked. My scanner won't work alongside the digi cam. And the problem isn't the USB cable or either of the devices. It's definetly the USB port. Can I replace this or do I have to buy a whole new computer?
Quick example from a google search -

How come when my computer is busy doing alot of shit at once it makes a weird clicky sound ..........?
You enabled "weird clicking sound".
Casek, huge problem I have here. The problem is, I'm not sure what the problem is. If situations comes to worst, I think my USB port or whatever is fucked. But then again it's probably just my USB cable wire. Both aren't in good condition really. For example, the covering to the USB port is off and missing and my USB cable wire is fucked. If I do purchase a new USB cable wire and I still can't scan shit, what do I have to do to get this shit working again?
I call it USB cable wire. It sounds normal to me. I don't know any hip computer bullshit lingo slang. So bare with me on all of this.
Fuck my little brother for fucking up my computer when I'm not home. Ugh, fuck life.

You gotta narrow it down to one or the other - Try and find/steal/borrow another USB device such as a USB mouse/flash disk/camera/mp3 player and see if it works on your USB ports.
If it doesnt then they're prolly the problem.
alternativley you can take your scanner to another computer (again borrow find or steal) and see if this connects ok there - if not it's probably your wire thats fucked.
if both fail - it's probably both that are fucked.
Try installing the latest firmware and drivers for both.

I often have to buy in laptops for new employees at my place of work and have come across alot of these Acer models..
Anyone had any experiene with them? I've held off getting any because I'm a paranoid kinda guy and dont like to buy things in that arnt tried and tested.
I ask because these tend to be an awfull lot cheaper then the standard brands for higher spec laptops.

hey im looking for a new laptop/notebook i got 350 to throw out maybe 4 what can i get?
anyone got any suggestions??
I'm pretty sure you already will have looked at ebay but their's quite a few cheap laptops floating aorund there. I got a cheap Latitude from ebay and it's been running fine so far.. just gotta be carefully who you buy off..
make sure te bastards dont take the network card out and the battery life is decent though.

I was wrong, the same things happened on another of my downloads only this time it's 99.94%
0.07Kb left

£"%!^$!!!!
I Dont think anything in the world can be more annoying then getting to 99.80% and then it stopping.
-
After reading through this thread I decided to give this torrent thing a whirl.. Unfortunatley it seems whenever I get to around 99% it finds it hard to download the last couple of percent.
What does it mean when the source status is 'Uninterested'?
I'm using Shareaza 2.1.00
I've got less then a Mb on a few files that I've speant 2 days downloading and it wont budge :|

Vanity - I think it could possably be that you're not inputting the right admin password in the repair consol.
I know you can reset win2k passwords fairly easily but I'm not sure how easy it is to reset XP passwords.

is your DSL connected to a wireless router?
When you say you're getting free connection when you bought this do you mean you've only bought the PCI adaptor and dont have a wireless network set up?
-
Just to clarify:
What wireless networking equiptment did you get?
-
Did you put your Administrator password in when you started the repair consol?
I cant rememebr the original problem really, did this happen after after doing any windows updates?
If so you should have a folder on your hard drive with the Gina in which you can copy over:
Boot from the XP CD, and press [R] then [C] at the Welcome screen to start the Recovery Console. Enter the Administrator password and then type:
cd \windows\servicepackfiles\i386
copy MSGINA.DLL c:\windows\system32
Did you try and bootup in safe mode and swap the gina out through there?
-
wait - not being able to get a copy of XP was the problem in the first place.. that's what you get for not reading things properly..
Try and bootup in Safe mode I believe that should allow you access to swap the MSGina out although I've not tested it.. if it doesnt work then the CD repair is your only hope..
-
Vanity - you dont have any way of borrowing a XP CD off someone so you can run a repair?
I just had a go on one of the test servers replacing the MSGina.dll through the repair consol and it seemed to work fine, I believe XP has the same repair consol when you boot from the XP CD.
if you can manage to quickly grab one off a friend then follow the instructions on:
http://www.netadmintools.com/part190.html
if that doesnt work hit me back and I'll do some XP testing.

Vanity - What's up with the GINA?
Windows 7
in Channel Zero

I've been using Windows 7 since the initial beta release early this year and it has been nothing but reliable. Since the RTM release I've moved from my Vista media center to Windows 7 Media center on my media PC and moved from XP on my laptop (32 bit due to compatibility issues with some of my VPN software).
Well worth upgrading from XP as it has far more comprehensive security features included and runs at a similar memory footprint or less when optimized so performance is increased.
Not a bad word to say about it so far - it's worth keeping the onboard firewall enabled for the moment as their is a known exploit of the file sharing service (SMB) but this is a minimal threat having tested it - ignore the hype it's not as big a deal people would have you believe. It's no worse then any of the still open vulnerabilities in XP SP2 and Vista.
