So here is a question about Antivirus software. In my last job i worked with full satisfaction using Norton AV corporate. I liked the way you can integrate it into an MMC and it was very easy to install. Also updating was always working and it kept the company safe for the 4 years I worked there. Now in my new job they have McAfee EPO as Av. I don't know exactly how it works yet but so far I see only downsides. New clients do not get an automatic installation. Updating fails quite a lot and I think it is a bit spartan to configure. What are your opinions about this ? Or what do you use as AV period an why ?

I see there are some who work in my  line of duty. So fellow tech folks does any of you work with Alchemy software ?

And that was a smart man so I should follow Vespertine's advice.

They are nouns, aren't they? All nouns are capitilized in German. I'm sorry jeee, but that is basic elementary German!

You're right sir. I just hope one thing considering germans these days....

Can't you just change your XP key ? Or is it totally locked ?
 If you get a legit copy and you install over it as already been mentioned XP will only replace the system files and leave documents and photos and blah blah alone.

Every time I think I have got one of these four confusing "cases" where I am master of it, a seemingly insignificant preposition intrudes itself into my sentence, clothed with an awful and unsuspected power, and crumbles the ground from under me. For instance, my book inquires after a certain bird -- (it is always inquiring after things which are of no sort of consequence to anybody): "Where is the bird?" Now the answer to this question -- according to the book -- is that the bird is waiting in the blacksmith shop on account of the rain. Of course no bird would do that, but then you must stick to the book. Very well, I begin to cipher out the German for that answer. I begin at the wrong end, necessarily, for that is the German idea. I say to myself, "Regen (rain) is masculine -- or maybe it is feminine -- or possibly neuter -- it is too much trouble to look now. Therefore, it is either der (the) Regen, or die (the) Regen, or das (the) Regen, according to which gender it may turn out to be when I look. In the interest of science, I will cipher it out on the hypothesis that it is masculine. Very well -- then the rain is der Regen, if it is simply in the quiescent state of being mentioned, without enlargement or discussion -- Nominative case; but if this rain is lying around, in a kind of a general way on the ground, it is then definitely located, it is doing something -- that is, resting (which is one of the German grammar's ideas of doing something), and this throws the rain into the Dative case, and makes it dem Regen. However, this rain is not resting, but is doing something actively, -- it is falling -- to interfere with the bird, likely -- and this indicates movement, which has the effect of sliding it into the Accusative case and changing dem Regen into den Regen." Having completed the grammatical horoscope of this matter, I answer up confidently and state in German that the bird is staying in the blacksmith shop "wegen (on account of) den Regen." Then the teacher lets me softly down with the remark th


at whenever the word "wegen" drops into a sentence, it always throws that subject into the Genitive case, regardless of consequences -- and that therefore this bird stayed in the blacksmith shop "wegen des Regens."

N. B. -- I was informed, later, by a higher authority, that there was an "exception" which permits one to say "wegen den Regen" in certain peculiar and complex circumstances, but that this exception is not extended to anything but rain.

This is from one of my favourite of Mark Twain's essays, The Awful German Language. My other favorites include all the rest.

5. When stupid people think they're intelligent.
6. Closed mindedness.

Isn't thinking someone is stupid a bit closed minded?

Depends on the situation. If someone types worse with their fingers than I can with my nose and makes irrelevant points consistently and uses that as the basis for their claims then I think it's relatively safe to say they aren't too bright.

Are you calling Stephen Hawking not too bright ?

Instantly, it's Prince- Purple Rain. But a few others as well.

I can't tell for sure because I don't know the Period edition of Windows 2000.
