Windows 7 login password delay

I don't buy the whole "the SSD's are too fast for windows" bit. There's gotta be something else going on. Regarding your slow login for domain joined PC's: been there, fixed it, passed on the tee-shirt. Set your domain member's primary DNS to the IP address of your domain controller and...

Am I totally insane for considering pulling fiber for home broadband?

I'm with the wifi crowd. You can do this with at little as 2 towers if you have good line of sight, or add more as necessary. http://www.ubnt.com/bulletm Add a good directional antenna and you can get a very cheap, industrial grade link. Ubiquiti claims up to 50km, so 10 miles should...

What was this hacker trying to do? [PHP/MySQL]

Well, something is pretty odd alright. The "attacker" isn't too bright if you ask me. If they were trying to do a logic injection attack of some kind into your forms, they surely wouldn't put "and 1=1". they'd put "or 1=1" if they actually wanted something to happen should a weakness exist.

Why do so many people dislike Norton Antivirus/Norton Internet Security?

Why do so many people dislike Norton Antivirus/Norton Internet Security?

Java is a major PITA. I keep a couple batch files that renames all the JAVA executables whenever i'm not using it or renames them back when I need to use it. I have to use java for work otherwise I'd uninstall that big gaping security hole.

White House releases Obama birth certificate

Yeah because it was such a stretch when the guy came from nowhere, spent millions to keep his past a secret and acts like a complete communist with every move he makes. It's a -real- stretch to think he doesn't have anything in common average Americans.

There's no reasoning with you. Obama is a socialist through and through. The right didn't like Clinton either, it's not like trying to expose problems with a leftwing politician is anything new. You act like it is.

Oh i'm sorry Mr. All Knowing Oracle of all things Obama Birth Certificate, but I don't follow this as much as some people. Are you saying the PDF with the layers isn't real (as in, not sourced from the WH) or are you saying its not indicative of a forgery?

FallOut...?

FPS, but there's many situations where the gunfire and other hazards come at you at such a rapid pace, you have to use generally RPG elements to overcome them. That's just the gunplay though, the game is thoroughly an RPG in the story/advancement elements.

Domain Squatters ... would fighting back work?

... the point is, the money being paid to squatters would not generate any revenue for those who use their services. They'd get money initially, but they'd be damn quick to re-negotiate their contract to a much lower fee per click or visit once they realize their services aren't worth as much...

Think about it, they would earn money initially but the people advertising on their network would see zero return on that money because nobody actually saw any advertisements. Imagine you sell some Widget and pay Squatters-R-US $0.10 per click. Squatters-R-Us then generates 100,000 unique...
