    monitor not waking with HDMI cable, assorted transition issues

    I took my wife into the gated community of Apple a couple of weeks ago, purchasing a mid-range 2014 Mac Mini and iPad Air 2. We're looking at getting her an iPhone in the near future. Everything has gone relatively smoothly except the HD monitor refused to turn on when the computer woke up from...

    Avast, AVG, and MSE

    I turned off the annoying audio in Avast as well. I like the fact that it checks for definition updates every four hours in addition to getting "streaming" updates (not the right term) from its database. Of course, this doesn't mean much if the detection engine and virus definition updates...

    Avast, AVG, and MSE

    You're preaching to the choir. I have Slackware on my desktop and have been using Linux for the last five years or so. However, I have Windows 7 on my laptop and have always considered dual boot systems to be a waste of time and effort.

    Avast, AVG, and MSE

    Last thread I saw on this was from 2010 . . . Which free antivirus do you feel does the best job with malware/virus protection, Avast, AVG, or MSE? Clean up is secondary to me as I feel the main priority should be to keep the boogers from getting in in the first place. I ask because I got a...

    Is Usenet Worth It?

    Thanks for the info. I didn't know eternal-september.org exited. Cox (my ISP) dropped Usenet a few years ago.

    How many of you guys use Usenet? Do you feel it is worth the money with the advent of discussion forums, not to mention IRC?

    WattOS Linux distro

    The WattOSR4 live cd didn't exhibit the wireless problems that Lubuntu live did on my daughter's old Acer notebook. I haven't used LXDE much it looks like a nice low-resource desktop alternative. I've been on a Slackware kick lately and downloaded the LXDE version of Salix last night with the...

    What is your favorite CMS?

    I've taken to using a CMS of some kind or another pretty much exclusively for simplified web site creation and maintenance. I primarily use WordPress but Drupal is great for allowing multiple users different levels of access to a site and has some options out of the box that require some coding...

    WFGX HD

    Does anyone know why Dish chose to put WFGX HD on 61.5 when the rest of the HD channels for Mobile, AL are on 129?

    most effective anti-virus/anti-malware applications

    consolidation After googling Vipre and checking out some reviews, I decided to uninstall my three ant-virus/spyware/malware apps and give Vipre a shot. The way it is advertised, Vipre seems to combine features of a good traditional anti-virus program, an anti-spyware program, and Threatfire...
