Anyody Know Of A Game That Is Like Mount N Blade

IE7, ADSL, any other business ... Getting sick is cheaper

From geek to AIS is a short step. While you're at a bit 'of factors: feeling of contentment, operating systems less and less mysterious and more functional (good thing, but drops the fun), computer viruses, old love, who have passed from weapons of mass destruction trivial broken cyberpalle , season with a wedding and a newfound passion for body building , and we get to the point where I find myself, that is, use your PC to make purchases, manage your bank account, bouncing a few blogs and some forums, book a holiday. In practice, how they should use it just about anyone who can get beyond the dramatic procedure called power, to be truthful fortunately that is quickly becoming a category.

I came to the choice of not having a desktop home, I just moved all important data on external support USB, I just only use the outdated Toshiba Satellite Pro 6100, adequately equipped with the second bank 256mb RAM so as not to make him suffer extremely. Since è rimasto in me un pizzico di amor proprio informatico, ho peraltro provveduto a formattare il laptop per poi successivamente reinstallare XP e aggiornare al SP2. Fatto ciò, rimangono alcune considerazioni di varia e casuale natura, che vado ad elencare.


  • ADSL. Beh, ormai colleghi giusto il modem o il router al PC, accendi il tutto, e in pratica sei già connesso ad internet. Al momento del lancio di XP ero fra i non moltissimi in Italia ad avere una linea ADSL, navigavo con Win98 e il modem 3Com HomeConnect DualLink, in grado di gestire il PPPoE via scheda di rete e il PPPoA via USB tramite un perfido software chiamato Enternet , capable of drilling (if not perfectly installed more than) a few moments in an already shaky structural integrity of Win98. Obviously better connect through network card rather than via USB (the time it was often difficult to manage, rather than convenient peripheral connection protocol), but this detail Win98 seemed very reluctant in the digestion of 3Com. I wanted at all costs in high-speed link with XP but, of course, the protocol Enternet (thankfully) was not compatible, and native support for PPPoE connection via network card was not properly implemented (also guilty of foul and pretentious modem. ..) on Release Candidate 1 of XP that I was using dual boot in . I saved the good Robert Schlabbach with his excellent ADSL connection protocol RASPPPOE , driver at the time rather than craft and want to configure manually, previously successfully tested on Win98. I installed the RC1 for about an hour, never seen before in XP, and surfing tranquiillamente with my (slow) connection.

  • Windows Internet Explorer 7. While I was, I did the dear old digest the brand new Toshiba Satellite browser Uncle Bill. Amazing. Non starò a raccontarvi come funziona, cosa sia cambiato (in pratica, tutto), quali interessanti caratteristiche siano state implementate, mi limito ad invitarvi alla prova. In navigazione? Explorer 7 è veloce, davvero molto veloce. Razionale, semplice ma allo stesso tempo sofisticato. Intanto aspettiamo il primo serio bug conclamato e vediamo un po'...

  • Windows Media Player 10. E meno male che mi son fermato al 10. WMP è uno dei pochi programmi che più avanza nello sviluppo più peggiora, ingombrante carrozzone filled with baroque frills. But how, IE has a policy of rational and streamlined, and this property is enhanced increasingly quaint trappings of questionable utility? VideoLAN VLC wins 4 to 1, no contest.

  • avast! Home Edition. Simply the best free antivirus (domestic) in circulation, and probably at high levels when compared with noble and expensive competitors. avast! is practical, reliable, versatile (can be excluded one by one all the protection modules resident), in Italian, uses an acceptable amount of resources and not a nuisance more than necessary. Like all other products dedicated to anti-viral protection probably is of little or nothing when used by a power user able to sniff the dangers a couple of hours before the antivirus, and less than nothing if used from a naive fool clickers on anything except the steps under fire on nice small button that would update the program.

    Ultimately, I enjoyed it. For a couple of evenings I've tasted to dive back into a boundless sea where it is long since puciavo buttocks. Now I can peacefully return to play the part of the AIS information.

    Red Metal Core Scooter Wheel



    Good news. In this recent work mocked me in criticizing the false promised benefits to the citizen with the ability to sell OTC outside the traditional channel-pharmacy, but when would it be worth selling prices for moderation expensive drugs are necessary and essential , and I quoted them exactly between the case of alendronate, a drug to fight osteoporosis, sold at the time of publication to more than 38 Euro for one month of therapy. I obviously brought luck. Meanwhile, alendronate 70mg was first dropped by a trifle, because 1,80 Euro general decrease of 5% of the selling prices of many drugs (government decision) by November 15 but has settled at around the 24 Euro. Not by government decree, but the decay of the maximum period of exclusivity of the patent, and simultaneous launch of alendronate in the form of generic, non-designer and much less expensive, which has forced major producers to decrease spontaneously price not to be outclassed by the generator. Bearing in mind that then are updated each month to the bottom of the lists of reference for the maximum price reimbursed by the National Health Service in proper reference to the molecules no longer covered by patent confidential, they are surely expected further falls.

    goes without wondering why the producers of branded drugs have the luxury to keep the price of alendronate designer about 40 Euro per year (a molecule very amortized by the patent, because if it is true that the once-weekly dose of 70mg is quite recent in the past has been used for decades by the daily dose 10mg), and why those who have given their permission to do so, and why the various manufacturers to adopt all the same price (custom very popular ...). Industries are betting that we earn well having reduced the price by almost 50%? Do you know who I'm very proud of the remittance of money? Who, for example, myself, had stored at the warehouse about 30 packs of various brands of alendronate, and burns without a shot being fired close to 500 Euro value of goods, which in practice is double counting and loss of earnings by selling packs now before you buy decrease in price. Never mind, we are not complaining, in fact, we are pleased because this can really be helpful to citizens even if, as often happens, especially at the expense of the intermediate distributors and end users, and not the (powerful) producers.

    remain roughly in the topic, I hope to be able as soon as possible to publish an extensive collection of ideas on one of the most absurd and unjustifiable phenomena in the history of medicine: homeopathy. See you soon ...

    Cheats For Idrag Paper

    jumping the shark ... About trova.Trova

    site A masterpiece, no other adjective seems to me more appropriate. Jump The Shark , collection of hilarious TV moments negative, more precisely, a complete reporting of events that, in one way or another, he declared the beginning of the waning of a serial television. Jump the shark, or jump over the shark , metaphor of a limit passed, a situation that goes beyond the original story or misrepresents the show cause order of good ideas or willingness to crack down deep through weird situations or grafting of new characters, unfortunately, can distort the series (special section the site is dedicated to famous actors and actresses to be able to send numerous productions in hell ...). Why define it as jump the shark? Everything comes from an episode (special episode, in three parts) of the unforgettable Happy Days, where the little big Henry Winkler, in the part of Fonzie , Ritov & is a bet, have to water ski jump over a sea cage in which he is detained a large shark. For many, the beginning of the decline of the series, although it is then continued for another hundred-odd episodes, especially in recent seasons indicated a dramatic shortage of good ideas.

    As Happy Days for so many other series you can see how, when, because we have reached the supposed point of no return, the whole course of the second democratic vote sailors. Some small example, and not the most glamorous, so as not to spoil the taste of what awaits you: Knight Rider (Supercar in Italy), which collapsed when the potenziamento di K.I.T.T. da parte di una gang di meccanici, ER , al declino per alcuni con l'uscita dal cast di George Clooney, per altri causa la tragicomica morte del Dottor Romano, investito da un elicottero precipitato (dopo che già tempo addietro il rotore di coda di un altro elicottero gli aveva tranciato un braccio...).

    Ovviamente si può anche votare never jumped , per gli show che si ritiene non abbiano mai passato il limite, ma perchè ciò sia riconosciuto ufficialmente dai redattori del sito è necessaria una schiacciante maggioranza. Due nomi su tutti si salvano senza esitazione: The Simpsons with honors, and show very dear to me I think is the absolute summit of its kind, if not the best TV production ever, Magnum, PI

    Jump The Shark , to devour a site with so much material available, aesthetically bad, but the sensational content. Have fun. In Inglese, of course .
