Here’s to MAC Security

June 13, 2009 By Robert Owen

This was another "Eaten" Post. I'm adding it back because I find it is still relevant information in the whole MAC vs PC debate going on these days. The information below is slightly dated but, it really hasn't changed much in the past year. Problems still exist on BOTH sides. (Although the MAC guys would lead you to believe otherwise.) Well, we always hear of the Apple Macintosh's superior OS security... How they never get viruses; never lock-up, No "Holes" in their OS etc.. And, now that … [Read more...]

iPhone 3g – what?

June 12, 2009 By Robert Owen

I was on Twitter yesterday morning and saw a tweet come through with a link to the image below... It originates from the JoyofTech over at Geekculture.com. It appears they have an issue with the name for the latest iPhone release. (Who can blame them...) Either that or the artist was looking at a Lingerie magazine during the WWDC. :lol: Anyway, here ya go: Be sure and visit their site and tip the cartoonists if you liked this! … [Read more...]

Friday Funny: Johnny

June 12, 2009 By Robert Owen

Here is a funny for everyone this Friday: A first grade teacher, Mrs. Brooks was having trouble with one of her students. The teacher asked, "Johnny what is your problem?" Johnny answered, "I am too smart for the first Grade. My sister is in the third grade and I am smarter than she is! I think I should be in third grade too." Mrs. Brooks had enough. She took Johnny to the principal's office. … [Read more...]

Load DLL’s needed for Kernel – XP

June 11, 2009 By Robert Owen

Had a user call reporting their computer shutting off suddenly. On reboot, they received the message "On last operation CPU reported a thermal event" Well.. This told me that the CPU fan had probably choked and the CPU had overheated causing the PC shut down. Upon inspection I found my initial thought was only partially correct. The CPU had overheated, that was obvious, because the heat sync below the fan was completely clogged with dust... or a small feline, I'm not sure which. BUT, The fan … [Read more...]

Monkey Games and others

June 11, 2009 By Robert Owen

**EATEN POST** A while back, I was introduced to some neat online games. If you like Monkeys and robots,  you'll like these!  They seem to be a perfect waste of time so, I thought I'd share.

History Lesson

June 11, 2009 By Robert Owen

Continuing on the Theme of  "Posts eaten" , we have this beauty below. It truly is a dandy, must be because, Wordpress ate it up like a plate of Chocolate covered bacon... mmmm, bacon! A friend of mine sent me a bit of information about our Presidential line that I did not know so, I thought I would share. Who was the first President? I'm sure that George Washington was your best guess. After all, no one else comes to mind. But think back to your history books - The United States … [Read more...]

Remote Desktop

June 10, 2009 By Robert Owen

Here is another Post that must have tasted good because, Wordpress ate it when I converted. It should still be useful to someone out there... When Windows XP came out, we were introduced to the new and improved remote desktop. It's Great! Believe me, I use it regularly. Well, when you use it to connect to XP workstations you get to connect to the console session. However, when trying to connect to a Server 2000 or Server 2003 machine you get connected to a "Remote Desktop" not ever to the … [Read more...]
