Whether you're concerned or not, the fact that your source draws such illogical conclusions brings into question the validity of your original claim.

I'm hearing that win7 isn't spurring the hardware upgrade demand many box makers were hoping for. However, I know a lot of people that have purchased a copy themselves. Guess if your rig can survive Vista, it'll kick ass with 7.

Setting the whole argument aside I really hope you aren't actively driving while reading and posting... I hope you mean you're at least sitting at a red light waiting for a train or something. You may not realize how much it affects your driving but it does, a ton, no matter how good you think you are.

oh, and i have one more comment: my LS6 is superior to any LT1. __________________ RIP Scott C5Z _________ B18C Civic VX __

Most of the texting was done at the drive through tax office, some at wendys, some at wellsfargo. just easier to say driving than explain that. not like im sitting here writing a novel at 50mph lol. And now im back in the office

No operating system is secure, attached to a network- dialers, port scans, pings- any system can be compromised given enough time and enough computing power- brute force is getting pretty brutal when you have banks of super computers to access, either legitimately or an army of zombie bots- Some hackers, very few, do it for the intellectual high, the bragging rights to show their ability to overcome flaws in any system- But much hacking now...
