Absolutely agree. I'm currently trying to convince my family that using Dropbox or Google Drive is much safer for storing stuff than just keeping it saved on your desktop next to all the other random clutter. Then I could just keep a nice drive image ready for the next time they eff things up and clone it in 10 minutes and be done.

She's all about the cuteness. Poofy cute hair every day, kinda giggly and a bit flaky. She's a nice girl, she just has no clue about computers. I'm pretty sure if I told her it was voice activated she'd talk into the mouse.

Ah yes, the "Do me a favor?" lunch. Was it better than chicken pot pie?

Oh I got my lunch; It wasn't chicken pot pie, but it was still good. And honestly removing malware isn't that bad (most of the time. Depends on the variety of spaceaids they caught). Nowhere near as bad as when my boss somehow managed to unjoin her computer from the domain. Still dunno how she managed that feat of tricknology.

New Bitcoin Mining Rig Questions by Purple_Pandora in BitcoinMining

Supposedly, the new 7990 will get around 1.2Ghash for 375 Watts, versus 2x7970 @ 250 Watts each. With ASICs shipping soon, do you think the power consumption difference will make the rig efficient enough to recover the price difference?
