Re: [H] ATM Theft
I'm sure that it would be. However, the length of time between installation and reporting/analysis could be days or weeks. I very highly doubt the film is reviewed regularly. The smartest thing to do is simply use ATMs you're used to. You're far more likely to notice the subtle changes if it is one you use regularly.

[H] blocking Yahoo toolbar ?
I have noticed of late a lot of sites have a boxed pre checked to install yahoo tool bar, while I am alert enough to uncheck the box some one in the family is not and I do not want to uninstall it anymore, any way to block it's install up front ? running ms anti spyware and webroot anti spyware, I wonder if they could be configured. Neither one pops up when it installs. I know ( think ) it is no worse then google just do not want it. I think what yahoo is doing is not ethical, one should have to check the box if they want it, not the other way around, very sneaky IMO thx fp -- Tallyho ! ]:8) Taglines below ! -- All warranties expire upon payment of this invoice.

Does any one know, or can point me in the right direction, which modems are considered best? Thanks, Bobby

hmm.. non dual core? I'm trying to go wade Anand's site and determine the best one.

The 38% premium for ~10% more speed isn't worth it. If you aren't opposed to overclocking, I'd give a very strong look at the Opteron 165.

Re: [H] Gaming PC $700 video solution, SLI?
I can appreciate that. I do extensive validation on any o/c that I do before I call it good. This X2 actually hit significantly higher--but 2.45 was the speed that it finally passed all validation. The 165's, however, are extensively tested and favorably binned at the factory. They have much, much more headroom than Athlon* grade consumer chips.
