Re: Slightly OT but also funny as hell.
To clarify it has to be COLD then right into noonday sun, its the sudden cooling and heating that will usually have an effect.

Bug Bomb and a large trash bag. then a vacuum and screwdrivers. Alternate if you have a cold enough freezer you can bag it and freeze it then take it outside.

Re: Slightly OT but also funny as hell.
Personally I would take it apart (particularly the keyboard) vacuum completely, spot clean with solvent where required (water, alcohol, best buy computer cleaner, whatever), dry, and then (optionally) apply a very thin amount of bug repelling gel to non critical areas, such as just in outer case near the vents, side of the battery enclosure, edge of the keyboard, etc. This last step is more for psychology since the gel will stop being effective in a few days and will leave a residue that will need to be cleaned up latter. However the final step would be to tell her to get a pest control person for the house (or just do it her self, but she has not done so so far so I am guessing she needs professional help to debug the place). Bugs don't typical bread in laptops.

Slightly OT but also funny as hell.
I had a friend call me yesterday about bugs in her laptop. Now normally this means something in software or hardware. Nope. Not this time. I mean bugs. REAL ones. Too many legs, etccrawling out every morning and freakin' her out. :) OK. So what the hell to do? My first thought was "unplug, pull the battery, hold it over an empty sink and drown it with half a bottle or so of rubbing alcohol poured everywhere, then let dry". But I figured I'd better do a sanity check on that concept. So, how to debug said lappy? :) Jim --- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
Re: OT: Net Nuetrality and the World Cup
When I view it it shows Powered by Cox, but when I try to view any video it tells me it does not recognize my network. It is only because I am down here at the bottom of the earth... or so if feels sometimes! I select Cox from a list and then log in and I can view what videos they have, though many are not showing. When I posted this email, Cox was not on that list at all of supported ISPs. about an hour later Cox showed up again. Regardless, I found futbol.univision.com to have better coverage and higher quality video as well, though I cannot maximize the window, it comes through better... Downside is it is only in Spanish. Upside is, GAAA! is universal and the mexicans say it with more enthusiasm than the british announcers do anyway!
