Hello Everyone, I have the "scheduler" on my MSE set up to scan every morning at 8am. Lately though, when I check to see if anything has shown up (viruses etc) it says I haven't scanned in days. Is the "scheduled scan" part not working, or did I set it up wrong? This never used to be a problem so I'm not sure what's making this happen. Thanks, any help would be great. Binner Continue reading...

I've been hanging out on EvilBay over the last couple days looking to score an older Core Duo or Core 2 Duo HP/Compaq(or even a Dell at this point in time) to play around with and there's just no deals to be had anymore. A few months ago you could get a decent Business class HP like the NC6400's I picked up for $50-$60 bucks but now even junk is going for $80 or more. It's just crazy, there's just no real deals to be had and no "meat" left on the bone for those of us who like to buy older laptops and install Linux on em' for resale. Most are missing their hard drives and all need batteries and many come without an A/C adapter, all of which adds to the cost of getting th…

My question is how do I get the value of the variable ti and tax to a file? The script seems to work OK. But I don't know how to get the variable values to a file. Because the bc code is multiple lines I don't know if I could use the bash read command? Will be grateful for any help.:confused: Code: #!/bin/bash clear #These are these variables echo "Enter past total earnings "; read pi echo "Enter recent earnings "; read e #This is the bc code bc << EOS scale=2 ti=$pi+$e "This is your new total earnings $"; ti define tab1() { tax=$e*.05 } define tab1a() { tax=$e*.10 } define tab2() { oe=ti-25000; ue=$e-oe; ea1=oe*.10; ua1=ue*.05; tax=ea1+ua1 } define t…

Word is beginning to filter through the web that Apple is set to announce an 8GB variant of the iPhone 5c tomorrow. At least in Europe, anyway. The various mutterings arrive along with a report from UK site Coolsmartphone that claims to have received a tip off that at least 2 UK carriers have stocks already arriving ahead of launch: We’ve received enough evidence from our source to know that at least two major carriers here in the UK have already received stock of the device, with further carriers as of yet unconfirmed. The report goes on to say a press release will be issued tomorrow morning announcing the launch, and that it will be available from those carri…

Announced only a couple of weeks ago, Twitch streaming from mobile devices will soon make it's iOS debut with racing game Asphalt 8. The incorporation of Twitch in the game will allow gamers to broadcast their gameplay to the popular streaming service, and include chat functionality.

Players will also be able to archive their streams, share them on the Web…

Microsoft OneNote for Mac is now official and is available to download from the Mac App Store. We heard just last week that it was on the way, and Microsoft hasn't disappointed. OneNote has been absent from the Mac until now, but what has been delivered looks in every way a full featured experience. Better still, OneNote for Mac is a free download, though the Mac App Store listing does say this is for a "limited time." But for all intents and purposes it looks like the same powerful note taking tool available on Windows. It's worth pointing out that you do need to be using OS X 10.9 Mavericks to use OneNote, and since it requires OneDrive to sync you'll also need a fre…

New details have emerged about Apple's rumored Healthbook application, reportedly coming in iOS 8. The application is supposed to track several points of health and fitness data and utilizes a card-based interface similar to Passbook, with a card for each health category. Healthbook is said to be able to track your activity, weight, and nutrition, as well as monitor your blood, watching blood sugar levels, oxygen saturation, and blood pressure. One thing that isn't clear just yet is how Healthbook would receive all of this data, though there are indications that data could come through the supposed iWatch, according to Mark Gurman at 9to5Mac: Hires, patents, and oth…

I'm sick to death of windows 7....Microsoft may not admit it, but it is full of glitches, and as slow the synaptic connections in George W Bush's brain. So here's my question is there anywhere i can download windows XP for free?....May seem retro, But I loved XP, once you got to know how to use it , it was fast reliable, and unlike windows 7 windows media player actually worked perfectly... So can you get it for free? Continue reading...

I play internet hearts frequently and complete very few games with all of the players. They drop out before and after one card is played and I play with robots. Why couldn't the software get changed to penalize the drop out players. Maybe, they can't return for one hour. Maybe, if ,they drop out more than three times they are penalized. The game needs to control these drop outs. There must be a solution. Don Continue reading...

I have a PC with an OEM CoA which has a Windows XP Professional product key. I do not have the original OEM CD for reinstalling XP. However, I do have a CD of Windows XP Professional with its own product key. I can install this on the machine with the CD's product and this works. It does not work if I try to use the CD with the machines own product code. So is the installation of the CD version of XP with its own product code onto the machine which has its own, but different product code legal? Many thanks Harry Continue reading...

Ok a bit of background. Back in the late 1990's I was a MS MVP for desktop operating systems, I have never seen an issue like this so I am stumped. Wife has a HP Envy m4-1015DX laptop. It is running an up to date version of Win8. The laptop has an Qualcomm Atheros QCA9565 802.11b/g/n WiFi Adapter. The wife has had significant network flakiness on this machine. Just odd stuff here and there, I have removed and re-installed the drivers etc. Today she sends me a txt saying she cant access our server (Fedora 19 server running samba) she had rebooted and still couldn't reach it. She tried remapping her drives and didn't get anywhere. It kept telling her windows couldn't acc…

I bought a Windows 8.1 tablet and opted to have the code sent to my phone. The number was gabbled twice before I could get a pen, followed by 'Goodbye'. There was no way to repeat the process. I clicked 'Unable to complete process at this time'. Apparently Windows 8.1 is 'Activated'. Should I attempt to get the process repeated and how would I do it? What are the consequences if I do nothing? Continue reading...

Hi Ben It looks like I have to do a Clean install to be able to upgrade to 8.1 I currently have Windows 8 but when I try to upgrade, it tells me that I have to uninstall MSE before the download can be completed. THERE'S NO MSE IN MY SYSTEM so how can I uninstall it when it's not there???? My laptop came out of the box with Windows 8 installed. It hasn't been upgraded from Windows 7 which I read can cause problems if MSE is not uninstalled prior to the upgrade. Not the case here so do you have a solution? Thanks Continue reading...
