Fantastic work, moar photos!

No. Reason: Above poster made the point, heres the proof http://w3fools.com/

Definitely no expert here, but I did just do this in my prog lang class, so maybe I can try to help a little (not sure about the second problem). So the pattern of the grammar is something like declarations -> VAR variables variables -> VarString COLON vartype SEMICOLON variables...

Shut up and take my money Gearbox!

Agreeing with everyone else. There is a giant gap between CS and IT at my school (FSU). CS teaches you to think and reason beyond anything that can be taught in IT. I even took a few IT classes to see what it was like and needless to say I ran away... quickly. That being said, I don't...

Yeah scratch what I said, it might be better on scans but it has been nothing but a pain in the ass on our virus scanning VM's. Guess I'll check out the beta, thanks

Going to break the cycle and suggest Avira. MSE has gone downhill in its detection and scan scores. See: http://www.av-comparatives.org/images/stories/test/summary/summary2011.pdf Avira is the highest rated free AV, and it is what I'm going to switch all of my home machines too. I know...

I just ran into this one 2 days ago (or one very similar, the SST rootkit) on XP and I didn't have the option of wiping the machine (usually with these redirecting rootkits I just wipe/reinstall). Here are the steps I used to clean it completely: 1. Remove Drive and scan MSE>MBAM>SAS. Let me...

I work at a university and luckily we have a site license for Win7 Enterprise so when we get virus's that are anything more than just the fake AV's I just wipe the machine. Saves so much time and usually everyone is happy because their machine is running so much better.

I believe places like bestbuy and compusa have a few switches but you are much better off getting one on newegg/amazon.

Fantastic, can't wait to see more!

lol @ 1 hour later post on xmas eve complaining about no replies. however on a budget biostar mobos are plenty for your needs but so is the gigabyte 740g

You can boot from UBCD and use Darik's boot-n-nuke. It is the DOD approved 2/5/more pass wiping method. http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/ Burn to cd, boot to cd, go to HDD > Wiping > Darik's, should be fairly straight forward from there.

Just move it to the bottom or the top. Or take it out.

^this. MSE will run fine on an older system, its very light. The real problem is that you are infact running XP still. You may want to consider upgrading to Win7 if security is a concern of yours. You can only fortify XP so much...
