and Related Links for 'LCD Projector in the Living Room?'
I’ve had a hankering for a big screen in the living room for
the longest time. A nice little LCD projector would be oh-so-sweet.
With an LCD projector, I could fill the wall next to the tiki bar
without sacrificing the floorspace of a tube-based big screen. But
aside from the monetary considerations, I’m concerned as to
whether the room is too bright for an LCD projector….

Like many geeks, I'll be hitting a neighborhood store today to get
my copy of the Star Wars trilogy on DVD (provided I can't find better
prices for it online). My memory of seeing a galaxy far, far away for
the first time in a movie theater is very faint. I can remember going
with my dad, but that's about it. Star Wars was definitely a big part
of my childhood, but I didn't get... [Continued]

The New Microsoft Windows Trial Software Download Center I'm sure
you've all seen them - the mention in such and such a TV program or
newsletter - about Microsoft trial software available. Speaking
personally, I always see these goodies at a time or place where
there's no way to take advantage of them. It never fails. I can be
traveling down the local segment of the Interstate and hear that

Waking up in the morning, one of the first thoughts going through
my mind is 'what's the weather like today?' Weather dictates what we
wear, if an umbrella would be a handy thing to bring along, or if it's
necessary to drive to Home Depot to buy a snow blower! Instead of
having to go to weather.com to check the latest forecast, why not use
Weather Watcher?... [Continued]

A Tale of Two Regeds (Tips)

Tech support tells me to type 'regedt32' as opposed to 'regedit'
to access the registry from the command line (Start / Run). I question
the use of 'regedt32,' but he says to do it anyway. Whenever I use the
registry editor, I recall this incident and never looked up the tale
of the two regs... until now. Regedt32.exe is an alternative registry
editor available with Windows NT/2000 with features of its own.
Regedt32.exe does not... [Continued]

If you have ever taken a look at the security options available
under Windows XP, Windows 2000, and Windows Server 2003, you will have
seen the numerous options there are for securing your computer. One of
the security options included allows you to create a message text that

Security reports show that many of the attacks that occur against
networks are performed by trusted users, meaning users on the inside,
not the outside. There are many things you can to do protect your
network and monitoring use of user rights is just one of those things.
Once you have assigned a user or group account additional user rights,
you will probably want to track how they are using them. You can do

On Friday, with little fanfare and even less press coverage,
California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger signed Senator Kevin
Murray's SB 1457 into law. A shadow of its former self, SB 1457 still
provides spam recipients with something which they haven't had for
some time: a private right of action. SB 1457 provides that an ISP,
the Attorney General, or an individual recipient may sue a sender for
sending e-mail either from California or to a California... [Continued]

Industrial PCs handle the abuse that would rattle an off-the-shelf
computer into a bucket of bolts. When you're operating in a harsh
environment, you're either working with an industrial PC or you're
working not at all. If it's mission critical, you need a PC that's up
to the task. While Industrial PCs aren't the prettiest (or fastest)
boxes on the block, if you need a PC that can take a licking and keep
