    Anyway to...

    Is it possible that Target has decided not to carry the card? You may find other retailers still sell them.
  2. One country should not have that much power over the internet. About the DDoS attacks; I would be more concerned about whom will they (4Chan) target next; after they lose interest in their target, will they attempt to settle personal vendettas (real or imagined)? We may end up with a number of renegade groups each with their own cause essentially unstoppable.
  3. I used to have my browser ask every time, I have found some sites will not take "no" for an answer; they just keep asking. Now I turn off all cookies and just allow sites I trust or need; I only have about 100 cookies.
  4. 1. What kind of a keyboard do you use? (ergonomic, gaming, something completely different?) Logitech G15 2. How much do you use the keyboard? Do you often use it instead of the mouse? I use the mouse more for browsing the web, when I am using word or AutoCAD I use the keyboard. 3. How fast can you type? (a link to a typing speed test is included at the bottom, if you haven't done one already) TypeRacer says 38 WPM 4. Anything else worth mentioning? My left shift key does not work very well, I need to get used to the right one.
  5. I do not mean the cookie itself is dangerous; it is the gathering of the information about what I do on the site. I think you would stop going to a store if they asked for your ID when you entered, followed you around the store and recorded everything you looked at or touched. Some websites use dynamic pricing changing the price of items based of where you are, what you have purchased previously and how many times you looked at an item. Just think of the information you give Google every search term you enter into Google is saved and indexed based on the cookie then as most people have done googling your name or using Google maps to find your address; Google now knows who you are where you are and what your possible interest are. [/paranoid rant]
  6. I am a very paranoid person; it is one of the small things I do to protect my privacy. Too much of my personal information is already on the internet, I do not want to add any more to the pile.
  7. Figured it out, staples gives a 403 forbidden error when it cannot read cookies. Annoying!
  8. When I try to access Staples I get an "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage". I have tried Down for everyone or just me it says I am not alone. When I called a store they said they can access it just fine. I can ping the site via command prompt. I would like to know if anyone here can access the site and maybe know why I cannot access it. The first link does not show up it is www.staples.ca
  9. I have recently had a similar problem, where vista would freeze and would not accept any input causing me to force a shutdown. Replacing the power supply seems to have fixed it. I replaced the power supply because of the possible solutions this was the cheapest, I had to start somewhere.

    So....

    I stopped playing too, the game started to get boring and I had other priorities. Wow Paladins merged with EPIC! That was unexpected.
  11. To anyone who feels like sharing, as I am sure you have other interests; what other forums do you frequent?
  12. If you have set your internet privacy settings to block all first party cookies, any cookies on the computer cannot be read by the website. If you use a program like CCleaner you can see if there is a cookie from that website on your computer.
  13. It is possible for chips to have unused or duplicate pins. I have no idea if this is the case here, what is the chip?
  14. Windows will not allow two mice at the same time, the mouse only works on the active window; you can only have one active window.
  15. SkyDrive Free 25 GB of storage, 50mb file size limit. ADrive Free 50 GB of storage, I do not think there is a limit on file size.
  16. Manually starting telephony gives the same error; I have set it to start manual but it still attempts to start (and more errors).
  17. I am running Vista Home Premium x64 I have gotten 75,047 errors in 2 hours all the same: Microsoft says this means I am not sure how to fix this; did vista randomly uninstall this service? Everything seems to be working fine, though the system did not resume from hibernation correctly.
  18. I am aware of those functions; it seems what I am trying to do is not possible.
  19. The default action when dragging a file/folder to another drive is copy. I would like to change it to move.
  20. Running Vista 64, I would like to change the default drag and drop behavior to move when dragging to another drive; if it is possible.

    Antivirus

    I have installed the Panda Cloud scanner (One of the few without negative feedback).
  22. I am getting rid of Avira because with every update a restart is required. What is a good free antivirus; is comodo or panda's cloud antivirus any good? I have Vista 64 and comodo firewall.
  23. Links that may help: Manual with wire diagram How to fix If you are not comfortable taking your TV apart take it to a professional.
  24. looks like it is gone for good Source? source
