I'm interested in what the greenies are going to do when all those batteries hit the scrap pile. IMO large vehicles keep gas prices lower, big oil is not going to live with lower profits which is what would happen if all cars got 50mph, they would raise the rates to keep profits the same, we would get 50 mph but would still cost us the same each year to operate. >:-} fp At 06:17 PM 3/2/2006, Greg Sevart Poked the stick with: >I'd prefer an electric vehicle.

RE: [H] Antivirus
I am not quite sure what is on the wild list but we get stuff in our honeypot which is definitely in the wild and compare that against most vendors 60% is pretty accurate. I mean a piece of malware usually is covered by at least one vendor but no one vendor covers most malware that good. You should also be careful with which files you copy over. I would say if your checking email and someone sends you a file and its non executable that's ok to copy over if you scan it on www.virustotal.com . You really can't trust a machine that is completely exposed for a unknown amount of time. But if you have a vmware image that you know is clean and you start it up and you know you haven't run any rouge processes then that's a lot more trust worthy. Of course its still possible you could have been infected with a worm exploiting a backdoor but chances are very low for that. Oh by the way vmware has free software for desktops now so everyone should be running a vmware session for all their other stuff. Maybe even run a linux desktop and windows in a vmware session. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Thane Sherrington (S) Sent: Thursday, March 02, 2006 3:53 AM To: The Hardware List Subject: RE: [H] Antivirus At 12:42 AM 02/03/2006, Mesdaq, Ali wrote: >Oh I love these types of topics.

We may soon be able to do just that via electrical probes in the shark's brain.

Thats the one I have manufactured Dec. 2004. I recieved my replacement finally and have my box up and running again but its a refurbished drive also originally made in Dec. '04 (I could just see through to the original label). However, I'm already having problems with it as S.M.A.R.T. disk monitor says it's ok until I click on the button to give additional IDE drive information. It just shuts itself down which is the first time I've seen that from any of the drives I've used it with. I'm going to contact SmartMon's support guys and see what they say about this weird behavior. I'm afraid the drive is borked somehow and made it through quality control with a problem.
