My sincerest apologies to all! 1. Two vultures board an airplane, each carrying two dead raccoons. The stewardess looks at them and says: “I’m sorry, gentlemen, only one carrion allowed per passenger. 2. Two boll weevils grew up in South Carolina. One went to Hollywood and became a famous...

Microsoft tries to promote Windows 8 without hurting Windows 7 sales

Unless I missed an earlier announcement by Microsoft, this is the first time that I can recall they've admitted that Windows 8 was not meant for traditional desktop users. http://www.itworld.com/280995/microsoft-tries-promote-windows-8-without-hurting-windows-7-sales

A local United Way office realized that the organization had never received a donation from the town's most successful lawyer. The person in charge of contributions called him to persuade him to contribute. "Our research shows that out of a yearly income of at least $500,000, you give not a...

A truck driver would amuse himself by running over lawyers. Whenever he saw a lawyer walking down the side of the road he would swerve to hit him, enjoy the loud, satisfying "THUMP", and then swerve back onto the road. (Now at this point some of you are probably wondering how the trucker...

How big a security risk is Java? Can you really quit using it?

Same here. Removed Java about a year ago and haven't missed it.

Microsoft remains tight-lipped on IE10 for Windows 7

If I'm understanding things (and that's always a debatable subject) Microsoft is just a few months away from releasing to the general public a brand new operating system called Windows 8. So far reviews seem to be mixed. But if I had to take a SWAG I'd guess that more people dislike Windows 8...

Windows 8 media playback support explained

Does this reinforce the idea that Microsoft geared Windows 8 towards tablets and smartphones all along? Sure, some home users may run a laptop off the battery, but I'll bet the majority of home users have their laptops (and desktops) plugged in so battery life is a moot issue. Or am I missing...

A Rabbi from Israel, a Maharishi from India, and a lawyer were traveling together. It started getting dark and they needed a place to rest for the night. A farm house was up ahead so they went to the front door and knocked. A farmer answered and when told of their plight, said, "I have room...

[SOLVED] Frequent BSoD, 3 times a day, BSoDs every 5 minutes when login screen.

About 3 months ago I started getting random BSODs. CPU and HDD temps increased, noticeable increase in fan speed on occasion, computer lagged, and each BSOD gave a different error. Long story short, it turned out to be a bad memory module, possibly damaged from a thunderstom about a week...

OEM's and AV

It's kinda like the stink the European Union made when Microsoft included Internet Explorer as the default browser. In late 2009, Microsoft struck a deal with EU antitrust regulators that required the company to display a screen in Windows providing download links to other browsers, including...
