Glad it is ERJ now, I could have sworn I'd seen SHV at the Terminal A side on props......

ahh I did...only the evening flights are ERJ. I rarely ever fly though IAH in the morning, it must have been last month when I was there after a 6am flight from FLL ;) I normally try to fly after 4pm.

No but there were (are) some critical updates. Due to the profound suckitude of Firefox 3.5, I'm still using IE in the office.

patches on vista were minor only one for windows, the rest were junk mail, and ms anti spyware.

There are almost always "critical" updates. And about 80% of the exploits are avoided by having any sort of firewall between your computer and the rest of the intertubes. The other 20% are avoided by not being an idiot, which is harder for many folks out there, but still reasonably easily avoidable.

I too need my ocean fix on a regular basis and try to schedule a tropic weekender. Beaches, well sand, annoy me but I am in heaven under an umbrella with a fruity rum drink and/or a bucket of ice cold beer. I also love to snorkel, though rest assured that a shirt is worn at all times...

I really enjoyed Belize (placencia), but it sucks that you can not walk off snorkel and the beaches are a joke. ANU has been one of the best as it is still quiet without a ton of commercialization. Unfortunately CO has cut down the schedule significantly, mostly due (I think) to a subsidy reduction.

STX was also nice for the same reason.

Office is still on XP.

Absolutely agree (although a small proportion of exploits are related to passively visiting what should be safe sites), and I use non-MS software to handle security functions.

So true, but I guess many of us non idiots still fear some crazy penetration attack from some brilliant 14 year old in the former soviet bloc.

:p

Firewalled router here, plus ESET Smart Security. I am paranoid after get infarcted years ago with something that cause my laptop to print gibberish to all of the company's network printers around the world. You wouldn't believe the calls we got!

:D:p:D hahahahha Sorry, but that is hilarious!

Oh it is hysterical! I felt bad for my local desktop support guys who had to field the calls from around the world.

I got a 15€ coin in Paris and my wife and I thought we got faked out because it was too odd. We tried giving it to a cabbie, but he didn't have change and looked at it odd. Back at the hotel we goggled it and found it was worth more than 15€. ^:-:

I do not like beaches. I don't like sand, strong sun and it's generally a PIA. I might like it at one of those expensive resorts with nice lounges, umbrellas and butler service. I prefer a nice pool, but that's harder to find. :rolleyes: Nice being, not a lot of people, shade, and no kids. :-:

:rolleyes: for no :-: and a :rolleyes: for the beach. :-::D:-:

On Tuesday evening, July 14, at about 22:00 CET time, a storm caused a power outage in the :rolleyes: Data Center. During the service interruption, all IT services provided by the :rolleyes: Data Center were unavailable including e-mail, BlackBerry data services, and remote access via :eek:/@:-). All sites globally were impacted.



As of Wednesday morning, July 15 at 5:00 CET time, most services have been restored. (this stament is FALSE:-:)

Save the Clock tower !!!!!!

I happen to like a VPN and it is not :eek:/@:-) to me :)

Any Box suggestions on attire to change in to for sleeping during TPAC travel?

Well, there's :-:&:-: for ya.

For reliability, choose :rolleyes:
