    Windows 7 PC users refusing to move to Windows 10

    The only thing I have against windows 10 is the forced upgrades. For most family members they could care less. And its probably a good thing at least on the critical patches. But in the business world that is dangerous. I have seen Microsoft break too many things.

    Leaked Comcast Doc Admits: Data Caps Have Nothing To Do With Congestion

    Yea. One of the representatives from the state above where I live was on PBS getting interviewed. He basically said that he didn't see any problem with what there doing because. I am quoting here. There is plenty of competition. (Frontier). The only other choice. And a bad one...

    7 Things I Still Hate About Windows 10

    The biggest complaint I have with windows 10 is the updates. Windows 10 decided to update the Intel graphics driver even though I installed the latest from Intel. The driver they installed wont work right with Firefox for some reason. Any way. To get around it I have to use a crappy...

    Mozilla Quietly Deploys Built-In Firefox Advertising

    I use a add-on called new tab homepage. That eliminates the problem for me altogether. That way I get a choice of what I see each time I open up a new tab. Not some stupid blank page. Mozila needs to figure out how to make money without chasing away its loyal users.

    White House Responds To 'Pardon Edward Snowden' Petition

    We got caught spying on our allies. Where mad because we got caught doing it. Not because it was wrong. Its the same argument about the government spying on its citizens. The question should be weather or not that is legal under the constitution. But where more worried about...

    95% Of Android Phones Open To Attack

    This is why Google should have the the control of the updates. Not the phone carriers. Phone companies sit on the patches forever. I will give Apple kudos for keeping there updates separate from the phone carriers.

    3M AT&T Customers Sign Up For Cramming Refunds

    Why this is not criminal and people are not going to jail is just sad. Why is AT&T or any of the phone companies not responsible for paying back the customers 100%. They should have to pay for figuring this out and reimbursing every last customer. Not the FTC. Our government is a joke.

    Verizon, Sprint To Pay $158M To Settle Charges Of 'Cramming'

    Paying back the profits. Hell. Why are we not seeing anyone going to jail? I had that happen at work. There was a 40 dollar a mouth charge for some support crap. I called our phone company and tried to get it cancelled and they where like you have to call the place you ordered it...

    My issue is back and I'm stumped

    Test one sim at a time. Boot windows with one sim at a time. It can be time consuming but sometimes it is the only way to verify that you have a bad sim or not. Also test the slots on the motherboard by putting 1 sim in different slots at a time. Also as others have noted do you have...

    Comcast to start rolling out 2 Gigabit speeds.

    Interesting. With the price of the 10gig the way it is I doubted anyone was putting them in cable/fiber modems yet.

    Am I the only one who didn't realize that you have to have CALs for Active Directory?

    Comcast's New Broadband Service Is Twice As Fast As Google Fiber

    While I don't have any serious issues with my Comcast service other than the price. I just wish we had some real competition here. Frontier is a joke and cant get DSL to my house if I wanted it. Plus its slow as hell at the places I have been that have it. That leaves Comcast to do...

    Where the SSD Market is Headed in 2015 @ [H]

    I am assuming that you have to have both MVMe drive and motherboard to see any benefit.? The motherboard I was looking at has a bios update for the MVMe but it looks like the drives are not available yet. At least the short time I looked for them.

    Have they done any work to the windows update part. I have build 9926 and it dose not let you chose which updates you can install. Its all or nothing. With the recent spat of bad updates causing issues. I really don't want not having a choice about which updates I install.

    TV Ratings See Double-Digit Declines For Fifth Straight Month

    Are they surprised? 1. More and More advertizing. To the point if there is something I want to watch a hour long show is a half hour when I play it on the DVR. Not counting the crap they put on the screen advertizing during the show. 2. The shows that are on Tv mostly suck...

    Apple Ordered To Pay $533M In Patent Lawsuit

    I have a hard time believing any judgment that comes out of Texas. The most patent troll friendlily state to sue companies. Especially since the company in question is from Texas . From the same town. This should be moved to a different state at least.

    Quote of the Day

    Unless I am mistaken the merger has not been approved yet. What I really want is competition. The only choice I have here is Comcast. Frontier is totally incompetent and cant get a reliable DSL service to my house not to mention that its slower. So Comcast can charge pretty much what...

    How The Islamic State Is Using Social Media

    My problem is that I have no doubt that ISIS can be defeated on the battlefield at least for now. It's what happens afterwords. Do we have to occupy Iraq again? Do we leave after defeating them and watch this happen over and over again. How do we come out ahead of the game...

    Andrew Jones Designed Pioneer Speakers On Sale

    Does the sub hum without anything plugged into it? It could be a ground loop problem. I have had some very expensive subs hum because of that. It can be fixed without replacing the sub. The most likely culprit is often the cable line /box.

    Consumers Are Too Dumb To Understand Google Fiber

    More like Frontier was to stupid to buy Verizon's old aging phone infrastructure. Where I live there are phone lines and boxes literally laying on top of the ground open to the weather. How DSL works on that I will never no. They paid 8.6 billion for aging infrastructure that consumers are...

    Most ATMs Still Run Windows XP
