Toughen up bitches, all real country/rural kids know this story, not through a book but real life experience... LoL...

I think I've tried most that are out there but for awhile now I have been using and recomending Avast, it has the general support features of most other AVs and keeps itself up to date although when updating is a bandwidth hog but I think that is important for it is a priority. I don't use the email scanner for the same reason, I use web based emails. I haven't had a virus while I've had it installed and running. It is quick to respond to any possible threats and not too much of a system hog. I know with some AV software that have extras you turn them off in settings and they still run in the background waisting system resources but some you can turn these extras off in services, I hope that helps you some with ID Protection, I haven't used AVG for a few years now.

DUST BOLT - Soul Erazor http://youtu.be/RfZCQ5XBAbo The German shooting stars are back with a vengeance! "Awake the Riot" is the perfect example of how Thrash Metal should sound, and shows that DUST BOLT are already snapping at the heels of the Bay Area heroes. Highly explosive precision drumming, furious leads and solos plus fantastic riffs flying at the listener so intensely, that whiplash after the first spin of the album is guaranteed. "Awake the Riot" is an aggressive rapid-fire riff barrage that will take no prisoners!

The Evolution of Visual Effects (1878 – 2014) http://youtu.be/0BYovvLhy7A Video editor Jim Casey compiled this fantastic homage to visual effects in this amazing 3 minute montage. The chronological showcase captures defining moments in visual effects history starting from 1878. The progression is fascinating to see and it’s exciting to think what lies ahead. For those curious, the music is “Liberi Fatali” from Final Fantasy VIII by Nobuo Uemats. https://www.youtube.com/user/thepadtech

H.R. GIGER (1940-2014) I am saddened to announce the passing of one of the great creative forces of contemporary art and design. H.R. Giger was a brilliant painter, sculptor, designer, and as importantly, a kind and thoughtful soul.

I'm not racist but love these jokes, way back at night college We used to go to a Chinese Restaurant after class on a thursday night and take the piss out of the owner, "We'll have Sweet n sour pork, beef in black bean and shizlik lamb", he always would come back "you wan flied lice.?." so We'd come back each week with "yes Flied Lice" but he caught on We were having a go and went and studied better english and We noticed it, on the following week he asked "you wan ffffrrried lice" We laughed and said said 'Yeah We wan flied lice" and the next week he got even better, "Oh, you wan fffrrried rrrrice.?." "Yeah yeah, We want flied lice" the next week he was sure he had it down packed and got a bit cocky... "I'll have sweet an sour pork, honey lemon chicken and wanton noodles" "AND YOU WILL HAVE FRIED RICE YOU PLICK.!."

How to Recycle a Hard Drive Hard drives store and retrieve digital information by operating rapidly rotating magnetic-coated discs. As one of the integral computer components, hard drives read software and hardware data by random accessing blocks of data. Most hard drive manufacturers construct durable hard drives that last computer users several years before they lose their efficiency or simply fail to operate. Inevitably, consumers must purchase new hard drives or entire computer systems. They can find new hard drives by shopping on one of the leading e-commerce sites, eBay. First, consumers should learn how to remove expired hard drives and learn how to recycle the hard drives to enhance the environment. How to Remove Hard Drives nstalling a new hard drive represents one of the best ways to upgrade a desktop or laptop system. Before installing a new hard drive, computer users must remove the old one to free up space. Removing most hard drives requires a simple-to-execute, five-step process. Steps 1. Do-it-yourselfers should remove jewellery and static-producing clothing before attempting to extract a computer hard drive. They should wear an ESD wrist strap to provide further static protection. 2. Unplug the desktop or laptop computer from the electrical outlet. Unscrew the screws or unfasten the clips that secure the computer case. 3. Locate the hard drive, which should sit within a removable metal cage. Hard drives typically connect to a power cable and serial ATA cable. 4. Gently pull the plastic or metal SATA cable by using the thumb and forefinger. Some hard drives require users to push a clip in and then pull the cable. 5. Unscrew the screws that secure the drive to the metal drive cage. Carefully remove the hard drive and place it on a clean cloth. Tips After reassembling the computer cage, place the hard drive inside of an antistatic bag and enclose the hard drive with a protective layer of bubble wrap. Avoid hitting the motherboard and other internal components during extraction. Computer experts consider hard drives as one of the most sensitive computer components to cold, heat, and impacts. Recycling Hard Drives Australians have several options when it comes to recycling their desktop or laptop hard drives. They can donate their hard drives to Computerbank, SITA, electronics shops, or one of Australia's local, state, and national government agencies responsible for protecting the environment. Computerbank Melbourne-located Computerbank handles the recycling of a wide variety of computer components, including hard drives and software programmes. The company understands the implications of overflowing landfills and it works closely with the Australian government to dismantle and recycle the metal and plastic components that comprise most hard drives. Computerbank knows how to extract the metal from hard drives for use in building other computer components and it removes excess polystyrene from hard drives and sends it to a compaction centre. Australians do not have to live in, or near, Melbourne to utilise this invaluable service. Computerbank accepts deliveries from anywhere within the country. SITA As the leading non-profit recycling organisation in Australia, SITA provides vast resources to businesses and individuals to recycle antiquated desktop and laptop hard drives. SITA services include the collection and recycling of several different types of electronic components, including computers and batteries. Recyclers can drop fully assembled computers that contain hard drives to one of the SITA recycling centres operated within Australia. In addition, people can organise a recycling drive in their neighbourhood by requesting containers from SITA that they use to store discarded hard drives. SITA provides contact information on its website for Australians who want to recycle their hard drives. Electronics Shops Large electronics chains have the resources to provide recycling services for obsolete hard drives. Although each chain promotes different recycling features, the underlying theme of the recycling programmes entails that consumers bring their hard drives to one of the chain outlets. Some chains offer trade-in or rebate deals for customers who want to recycle their hard drives. Other chains simply accept discarded hard drives that customers place in a large bin that contains other recyclable electronics parts and products. Since the policies vary among large chains, consumers should review the recycling policies of large chains before deciding to which chain to return an antiquated hard drive. Moreover, some electronics manufacturers, such as Sony and Samsung, accept recyclable hard drives through the post. Australian Government In November 2009, the Australian government issued a new environmentally sound approach to recovering and recycling electronics. The national waste policy includes detailed instructions on how to deliver electronics, such as hard drives, to one of several government-operated recycling centres. Since 2009, the Australian government has tweaked its waste recovery and recycling policy. Therefore, Australians should refer to the government website to learn about the most recent policy changes. Moreover, most Australian state and municipal governing bodies run some type of recycling programme that may involve the pickup of hard drives.

How to Restore a Hard Drive to Factory Settings Even though deleting computer files and emptying the computer's recycle bin is a quick way to get rid of unwanted music, videos, or documents, the only method to completely restore a hard drive to factory settings is to perform a wipe or reset. By doing this, the owner can get rid of all the information on the hard drive, without the possibility to ever get it back. Whether a user wants to restore a hard drive to factory settings for security reasons or because he or she wants to sell the device, there are several ways to do so. Learning more about hard drive wipe disk tools and how to use them can be of help when it comes to restoring a hard drive to its original factory settings. Prepare the Hard Drive for Erasing the Data The first thing users have to consider when restoring a hard drive to factory settings is that they cannot get any of their data back once the process is complete. This is why it is essential to back up the data prior to using a wipe disk tool. Depending on the size of the files, the user can choose to back up the data on a USB drive or an external hard drive. Using a cloud drive is another alternative. To back up data on a cloud drive, the user has to sign up for such a service. Some of the most popular options include iCloud, Dropbox, and Evernote. Even though cloud drives are not as fast as connected drives, they come with the advantage of allowing users to access files from anywhere in the world. Reset a Hard Drive with a Recovery Disk An easy way to restore a hard drive to its original factory settings is with the help of the system recovery disk that came with the computer. All the user has to do is insert the recovery disk into the CD drive and restart the computer. This prompts the program to start the restoration process. The process may last for a couple of hours and it completely erases the data on the hard drive. Reset a Hard Drive with Wipe Disk Tools Another method to reset a hard drive to its factory settings is with a wipe disk tool. Users can choose from multiple programs that allow them to wipe the hard drive with just a few clicks. As not all wipe disk tools work in the same way, it is important to read the instructions before using any tool. Multiple other versions of disk wipers are available online (links Below), some of them free, others paid. Most of them work by digitally wiping the memory space the deleted files occupied. Using such a disk wipe tool is essential for computer owners who have sensitive information on their hard drives and want to make those files impossible to recover. Eraser Roadkil's Disk Tool DBAN Secure Erase Tips When Using Disk Wipe Tools The process of wiping a hard drive is independent from the operating system of the computer. This means that the process should work just about the same regardless of what type of operating system the owners have on their computers. Users who have a hard drive with multiple partitions need to make sure they wipe all partitions separately in order to restore the entire disk to factory settings.

DVDFab is the last thing I'd use personally, Freemake is awesome, and free, you can get the Gold Edition with all the optional extras here, ThanX EagleMine. There are many to choose from and, like ems, I have plenty on My hdd and too much to sort through. Also keep in mind when ripping DVDs it, whatever software you use, will take ALL available memory so Tech is correct, turn everything else off especially if you have a not so flash system like Mine. Good luck and let Us know how you go and what you used in the end 80)

Funny thing is I want one for 2 extra rooms for when My oldest 2 kids come and visit, been thinking about one as a garage also...

Welcome Back Mate...

I love these sorts of facts, Thanks Mate...

As if the Empire State Building wasn't high enough, the 2015 Ford Mustang conquers the final frontier. After already holding down the 86th floor observatory on top of New York’s Empire State Building this year, it still wasn’t quite high enough for the new thrill-seeking 2015 Ford Mustang. The Mustang 50th Birthday Celebration continues on and this time it is out of this world, literally. The 2015 Ford Mustang has conquered yet another feat, launching into the final frontier – outer space. Just last week, a couple of guys from the Ford sales team decided to take things up a notch. Michael Sego, Ford’s sales manager in San Francisco, and Steve Kubits, partner at Big Valley Ford in Stockton, California, decided to launch their very own 2015 Ford Mustang into space. This Revell mini 2015 Ford Mustang that you see was a souvenir handed out at various auto shows, one being the 50th Mustang Birthday Celebration in Charlotte. Who knows which auto show they received theirs from, but I’m sure nobody expected that the tiny toy would take on quite the adventure. Hooked up to a weather balloon complete with a GoPro Hero HD3, the mini Mustang was launched 21 miles up into the sky, before crashing back down to Earth just 74 minutes later. You can check out the footage here below. http://youtu.be/OpnoOmQwyP0

That is sad for Russia...

Thanks for the update 80)

One day I may just play WOW, My lil sis has been asking Me to for years....

This is the 2nd article I've seen on this recently and I'd say the best news I've read in awhile, look froward to seeing this technology in use here...

Should of picked a better site to share on....

http://youtu.be/Yfc_6tVeZYI BLOODY HAMMERS, the band revolving around the charismatic mastermind Anders Manga, release their third album "Under Satan's Sun" which follows once more the dark paths populated by sinister characters and spectral apparitions. Dark Occult Rock with a pinch of H.P. Lovecraft and Ray Bradbury is the main attraction of the show, when the master of ceremonies Anders Manga opens the gates to the nether world. "Under Satan's Sun" is a multilayered album that resembles a classic horror flick from the 70s. An album filled with charm, big refrains and a classy atmosphere. Release Dates: 30.05.2014 G/A/S, FIN & Benelux 04.06.2014 ESP/SWE/NOR 02.06.2014 UK & EUROPE 10.06.2014 US/CAN

Data loss is an inevitable event that can happen to anyone from an individual PC user to professionals who use it in their offices. Therefore, to overcome data loss, people usually create and maintain the backup of their data. However, despite their best efforts to secure data, data loss occurs. In the past one decade, it is observed that one of the major causes for business loss in companies is data loss. Their unplanned and unstructured way of preserving the precious data has shut down a lot of small to medium-sized companies in the past two years. There are various reasons that are responsible for data loss. These reasons may vary from natural disasters (like flood, earthquake, or fire) to accidental deletion of some files to IT or system failure. Let us see some of the facts related to data loss that occurs due to various above-mentioned reasons and its consequences: The organizations that undergo major disasters go out of their business in just three years. On the other hand, the businesses that encounter critical systems crash or IT failure shut down within a year of data loss. 44% of the companies that undergo severe fire are unable to reopen, whereas 33% of the organizations that survived in this disaster do not last for more than 3 years. A graph of possible data loss reasons and their percentage is shown herein that represents the following measures: From the above graph, it is seen that 30-40% of the problems that interrupt the business are caused due to the internal malfunction of software or hardware damage. Human errors are another major portion that covers the major area of this graph. Around 40% cases of data loss come under this category. The other most prominent cause of data loss is virus infection. Approximately 20% of the data loss cases are encountered due to this reason. Rest 10% data loss scenarios are seen because of natural disasters and sabotage. Some other facts that users must know about data loss are: The rate of hard drive crash in United State itself is around 140,000 per year. In the year 2008, around 23% of overall malicious activities were contributed by USA only. That means USA was the top country responsible for overall malicious software or activities. To handle such situations and to prevent data loss, most of the small to medium level organizations spend their 6 to 8 hours in planning and maintaining data recovery plans with business continuity plans. However, if they maintain regular backups, then they can avoid such situation. If they think or spend time in planning and creating data recovery strategies, then opting for professional data recovery software is recommended. Professional data recovery tools recover lost, deleted, or formatted data without causing loss. The simple and intuitive user interface of an efficient software provides an easy atmosphere to carry on the recovery of lost or deleted files. However, only having the recovery software with you is not the gateway to undo the loss, rather observing some precautions while you encountered the loss is the right path to attain success. The precaution is very simple and it is: This precaution is there to stop the overwriting of deleted files. Yes, your deleted or lost files, folder, or other kind of data does not go anywhere when you give command for deletion. Instead, the index associated with it gets removed when you delete it. The index is the entry of each file of your computer in the ‘Index Table’ of the Operating System (OS). Since a deleted file does not have the index entry in the ‘Index Table’, the OS is unable to find it, despite the fact that file is there at its previous location and physically intact. Moreover, the OS marks the space occupied by this file as ready to be reused. Therefore, in such situation, if you keep on using your hard drive for saving new data, then there are high chances of writing of new data over the deleted one, which eventually causes data overwriting. The overwritten data is impossible to be retrieved even by the most prominent data recovery software; thus, it is said to observe this precaution. In addition to this, it is recommended to download the data recovery software on a computer other than your affected one; however, if the recovery software is already there on your computer, then there is no need for this. This precaution again is for preventing data loss due to overwriting of data that can occur as the software is being downloaded to your computer. Now, attach your affected hard drive as an external drive to this computer and perform the recovery of your files by selecting this attached drive. However, these precautions do not show the inability of the data recovery software; instead, these tools work on the mechanism using which hard drive stores data. These tools have used the hard drive data storage process as a ladder to reach to lost file and undo the loss. Therefore, observing precaution is the best support for recovering your data without any loss by the help of professional data recovery tool. Therefore, what are you waiting for? just use appropriate software and undo the loss.

Have to say I'm for the fresh install also...

Are you lot gamers.?. LoL...
