"But don't worry - base 8 is just like base 10 really.... if you're missing 2 fingers." Only have 1 Tom Lehrer - but like it....

At the very least Red Alert[^] (and others) is free for download, and should run on XP (and Win7?)... Not sure if this helps - just throwin it out there.

thx for the laugh.

in linux/unix, it's a fairly common thing, and since it's "not against the rules" in an M$ environment, the IDE should handle it properly...

If he only enumerated from 0 to 9, the loop would never exit...

OK - well, you might want to run that TDSSKiller just to see if it finds anything - I got Av Security Suite a second time without using the computer for anything other than trying to remove the browser hijack (which, I realize, you might not be experiencing). TDSSKiller reported that my cdrom.sys was corrupt, and "fixed" it, which is when my problems went away. My thought is that when I "removed" it the first time (by removing registry keys and the executable), it just sat dormant for a while, then popped back up some time later.

I spent days fighting 2 of these and a browser hijack. What a major PIA. The 2 I had were "Anti Spyware Soft" and "AV Security Suite". Of course, they only appeared on the only machine that I have a AV program on (Trend Micro, which never seemed to notice a thing). Of course, that's the only machine with auto-updates turned on too (work provided laptop, their machine - their rules). The good thing is, there's lots of good info out there about removing the fake-anti-spyware stuff - the browser hijack was a pain until I found TDSSKiller[^] That seemed to finally eradicate both problems. I never did know where it came from...

+1 for Ubuntu server running my NAS. It was also going to support MythTV and MAME, but, those projects have stalled. I think you have to define "best" to answer the OPs question though. I'm running PCLinuxOS on one of my boxes, and it's fine, but is it the best? No idea. It's just what I chose at the time.

"Once zey go up, who cares where zey come down? That's not my department," says Wernher von Braun.

Yes, it did have an interesting concept. That's why it was a great book. Which made the movie that much more disappointing.

To quote (or at least paraphrase) an Australian that was on a mailing list with me: "VB - best bloody beer on Earth". Victoria Bitters. I've never had it, so can't speak to it, but he made me want to try it. And he bristled at the thought of Fosters too. It's their Budweiser - that's all.

swwwwing....... and a miss.

Gnu Cash also is good as suggested sooner if you are using Linux OS.

There's a windows build as well....

Me too. Why'd you drop out? I quit paying dues because they're essentially a social organization and I wasn't doing any of the social activities, so I saw no reason to keep giving them money. I didn't expect to get in - I just liked all those puzzle tests that they use as "ads" to recruit members. I thought it would be fun to take an extended version of those tests. Their entrance exam wasn't anything like those tests - it was like taking two SATs (college entrance exam) back to back with a compressed time limit. And I paid for the pleasure. yee-hah.

"main reason"? please don't say that it's a woman.... Edit: saw the answer later in the thread. :) Best of luck to ya! To answer one of your other questions: monster.com dice.com indeed.com scrapes a bunch of other sites so you can find them all on 1. I use jobcircle.com, but I think that's philadelphia area specific (or NorthEast US specific possibly)

Close, but "Kazinsky". Ted Kazinsky. (and my spelling of it may be off as well)
