I’ve been trying to figure out since yesterday why Microsoft’s decision to make the Sysinternals’ body of utilities available by browsing the folder where they are stored on their website was a big deal. I went to http://live.sysinternals.com where the utilities are now available and the best it felt was clunky. No wonder reporting on [...]
Bill Webb had this to say and Forsythe has dealt with bottled water here and here previously, so I’d like to bump the attention of those posts back to the top once more. I appreciate OzTech taking a look at the subject this morning as well.

Being the conscientious computer guy that I am, I decided I should check for updates for my device’s bios and the MapSource software which I have also moved to my Vista laptop. There were plenty [...]
With three people in the house driving a car somewhere burning $4 gas every day, I have become really conscious of the energy we are consuming. In the process of researching the cost of alternative energy sources, one of the sites I was looking at mentioned my need to clean up my wasteful consumption before [...]
