While some may deserve a instant ban, I'd say they do NOT deserve to get it without motivation. There's always the chance that there's more to the story than a few posts, so anyone getting that harsh punishment should atleast get a chance to motivate whatever dumb thing they did.

Yepp. It is released, and it's the best thing since sliced bread... It REALLY is. It's a lean, mean anti-malware machine. If you're still one of them "norton is a resource hog"-advocates, either TRY IT, or just stay ignorant (I'm writing this post mainly for YOU. It's time to wake up ;) ). If it bogs your computer down, there's something wrong with your computer, not the software. If my old box (athlon X2 6000+) can run it without me even noticing it, then yours should too. As

Feature Request: Saved States in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

I was planning to toy around with windowblinds, and suddeny realised that I can't really do that and test different configurations without having to jot down all the current settings of what I change (so I can revert back to what I had from start, since I'm quite happy with how things look.). So, what would be great, is a load/save function for all customization settings in wb (colorization, fonts, wallpaper and all that).

I can't stress this enough: NEVER enter any kind of account information on sites you open from an email link. It doesn't matter who the mail comes from, or what site you're connecting to. Always open a browser and enter the site address manually if it's a site you have an account on. This is specially important when it comes to banking.

Feature Request: Change of "My Replies" behavior in Forum Issues Stardock Forums

I don't know if this has been requested before, but I was sitting here clicking away and realised something quite silly... When clicking on a post in "My Replies", why does it take me to the first post in the thread? If I'm trying to follow a thread, I'd obviously want to read all the new posts, not the full thread. So, my request is actually two things: 1) Clicking on a thread in "My Replies" should take me to the first unread post in the thread. If I want to r

If you right click on the Documents link on the start menu and choose properties you have a tab named "location" (or something like that, I'm using a swedish vista, so it's "Plats" for me :P ), from there you can reassign the location of it as you see fit.

The situation in Afghanistan is 100% orchestrated by the US. As was the situation in Iraq. There wouldn't have been any Bin Ladin or Hussein in power at all if it wasn't for the US pumping in truckloads of cash to make just that happen... It's been going on for decades before desert storm. The US military has been wanting to blast Afghanistan for a very long time. They finally found a way to do it without someone (like the Russians did before) interfering...
