  1. Fortunately, People Magazine has much higher standards than tabloids.
  2. That's my fault - I should have explained. A clean install means that I will not just do an upgrade to Vista, but rather completely erase the drive and then install Windows 7. Performing an upgrade is like changing a tablecloth with all of the dishes on the table. It can be done, but the chances are something will be broken in the process. As far as your personal files go, I will copy them over to a external drive before erasing your drive.
  3. Windows 7 is a much better operating system than Vista. Vista is a real pig when it comes to utilizing your hardware efficiently. If you would like to upgrade from Windows Vista to Windows 7 Home Premium, I have a deal for you. For only $150 I will do a clean install of Windows 7 on your system. (This price requires you to deliver and pickup the computer. I will pick up and deliver for an additional fee). This price includes a genuine copy of Windows 7 from Microsoft which is priced at $120 at Best Buy. I can also do an upgrade from XP, but find that most people that have XP prefer to sti
  4. What I also find sad is that people will buy whatever tabloid the pics are printed in which only encourages more of this type of behavior.
  5. If your husband owns the company, I think you should be a part of the interview. IMO, a panel interview is always better than a single interviewer. Everyone on the panel does not need to be proficient in the position that is open.
  6. I read an article this morning at a dentist's office, while waiting on my son, that is relevant to this topic: http://www.inc.com/magazine/20100601/never-read-another-resume.html There are definitely hiring practices that increase the odds of making a good hiring decision. I have worked for some companies that would hire anyone that could pass the mirror test. (Hold a mirror under the candidates nose and if it fogged up, which means they are alive, they were hired). Other companies were very diligent in their hiring process, which consisted of multiple interviews and background checks. As
  7. I called my contact at ATT and you are correct. If you sign a new contract in order to get a new phone, you must switch to the new data plan. Very good point. Checking email uses very little data. If you want to stream video all day, it will cost you an arm, leg, kidney, lung, and possibly your brain and heart. Personally, I like the fact that they are offering the new $15 plan. You can view the new pricing policy at the ATT site here: http://www.att.com/s.../data-plans.jsp This page also provide estimated bandwidth uses for various types of data usage (video, browsing, email,
  8. Apple announced the new iPhone today and it has some impressive new features. You can watch a video about it here: http://www.apple.com/iphone/design/#design-video
  9. They are providing good coverage with video on both CNN and Fox New.
  10. This test only has one question, but it's a very important one. By giving an honest answer, you will discover where you stand morally... The test features an unlikely, completely fictional situation in which you will have to make a decision. Remember that your answer needs to be honest, yet spontaneous. Please scroll down slowly and give due consideration to each line. THE SITUATION: You are in Florida , Miami to be specific.. There is chaos all around you caused by a hurricane with severe flooding. This is a flood of biblical porportions. You are a photojournalist working for a maj
  11. Thanks guys. It's always great to do work for the pcom community.
  12. I bet that baby is really humming now! Depending on the number of missing keys, you may be correct.
  13. Checkout laptopkey.com They even have tutorials that teach you how to install them.
  14. Sounds like the Chinese are trying to kill us again.
  15. I cannot believe that they did not have an adequate backup system - there is no excuse for this. If I were you, I would file a complaint with the Georgia Medical Board: http://www.medicalboard.georgia.gov I see two different Doctors. I would not trust the front office staff of either practice to take out my trash. I have spoken to the Doctors several times about this, but they could apparently care less since they have not done anything about it.
  16. She seems like such a genuine and gracious person. Gotta love her.
  17. People have used a dead persons SSN to establish accounts. I should think that identity thefts involving a dead person would not cause any problems for a surviving family member. Ultimately, the dead person would be the one that would need to clean up the situation, which I'm guessing they will have no motivation or the ability to do.
  18. I see nothing wrong with the posting of actual facts on a website. When a customer lies, I think the business has every right to go after them. As always, I support a "looser pays" policy when it comes to legal expenses and court cost.
  19. Just a hunch here.... but I'm guessing if we have a contest, there will be more judges than contestants.
  20. This is a really neat story. Excerpt posted below. http://sports.espn.g...tory?id=5218228
  21. I saw 2 coyotes near downtown Austell today. They seemed to be very adept at crossing a 4 lane road.
  22. If the gas company says the gas is on, I would think that there has to be a shutoff valve that is turned off in the house.
  23. I think sometimes we view umpires as cold and heartless. Joyce has definitely improved the perception of the profession. The case could be made that we do not really need umpires anymore given the advances in technology, but they are part of the game and they keep the game more interesting. Wrong calls are made in EVERY baseball game even if it just involves balls and strikes. Sometimes those bad calls can effect the outcome of the game, but I'm not ready to get rid of the umps. Last week, while watching the Braves, there was a 3rd strike pitched that would have ended the inning. The only prob
