    Security Firm: Windows 7 Less Secure Than Vista

    randomizer You just invalidated your whole post by stating that you haven't used Linux. Well, I'm glad I didn't go with my first choice of hexadecimal/DIP switch hyperbole. The top of your head would've blown off.

    Security Firm: Windows 7 Less Secure Than Vista

    CrashOverride90LOL no wonder windows fails...I think windows should learn from linux. What makes you think they don't already know? You can't look at Windows' design as only |security|. You have to take into consideration the software and user bases. With the amount of root-access-presuming...

    Stolen Hotmail Data Finds Simple Passwords

    The simplicity of hotmail passwords alone says nothing. I have 3 hotmail accounts that all use 123456: Two I use as spam drops, and one is for screwing with scammers. And now, with Freetoeveryone@live.com, I have four. Oh noes! My security!

    Cool n Quiet on Win Vista

    From reading around the web, it seems that when that power option disappears it's a bios issue. One other thing to check: http://forums.legitreviews.com/about8138.html · Do NOT manually set the CPU frequency or multiplier in the BIOS. Doing so will lock the processor speed and disable C’n’Q...

    Cool n Quiet on Win Vista

    I'm also using a 5200+ on a Vista Home Premium upgrade from XP media center, and it's working for me. What are you using to detect whether it's working? I use either CPU-Z or AMD's Power Monitor. I like AMD's a little better because it loads quicker and has a bar that shows what power savings...
