What a bunch of bullcrap -- Google has already said that it will remove from their results any content from Murdoch's sites -- all he has to do is ask. How is Microsoft going to "help"?

The whole "Computer Browser" service thing on my Windows (XP/Vista) based home network machines still has me totally confused. Is there anywhere a lucid explanation of how this works and how to prevent machines from seemingly randomly dropping off and coming back on the network list.

This from someone who was (at least nominally) a Microsoft MVP for networking.

I wish I could help you, but I have no idea what you mean. We've only had issues with our external drives not being visible at times on the network. A quick run through of the network wizard usually fixed it. Now, our only problem is that the Win 7 machine allow the XP machine to "see" it.
- Anika
From what I can determine the list of computers on an ad hoc network is maintained by the "Computer Browser" service that runs on all computers. Through some sort of arbitration magic that I am unable to understand one of the computers on the network becomes the master -- and other computers use it to determine the current list of network machines. The ugliness seems to happen when machines (maybe the master?) come and go from the network (we have 3 laptops that are in and out all the time).
- Brian Sullivan
Once the network list gets into a state where machines are missing nothing that I can do(at least nothing that I can determine) seems to get it back to a steady state.

I am sure most people know somebody with MS - this offers a potential new treatment.

I have a SIL and neighbour that could possibly benefit. I know at least one other for whom the disease sadly has probably progressed too far.

What problem is Google attempting to solve with the Chrome OS? A lot of talk about 7 sec boot up time -- is that all? I don't really see a lot of other advantage? It seems to me they are taking a lot away for not much gain. Am I just thick?

So you get a seven second boot time but get to do nothing offline at all in exchange - thats not a good deal. They should have all that too to win. I am sure thay have something in mind.
- Gaurav Bansode
Brian: No, you just haven't been infected by Google Fever (this is a compliment). Chrome OS is actually a step BACKWARD for the most part as it's even less flexible than regular Linux, Windows or Mac. Android was and continues to be revolutionary. Chrome OS will be an academic curiosity at most.
- LANjackal
@lanjackal agree that it is a step backwards. I think chrome os will segregate the pc market again into noobs and nerds ;) when ur needs are limited to what u do on the cloud, it is not a bad idea. ( and except for things like Photoshop or video encoding or soft dev, most of it can be done or have alternatives on the web)

So the consensus so far is that other than than the fast boot up plan (and the simplification of use) there is no other advantage?

Does anybody know what those relief doorway keystone thingies (often gargoyle like faces) are called?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... suggests "ornamental keystone" but I'm no architect.
- Stephen Mack
I've always just called them keystones.
- Anika
Yeah I thought they had a particular name though when they were relief gargoyle statues.

I used to go to the ROM as a kid. I'm a big fan of this kind of architecture, and I really like this building. The list is somewhat questionable, with this and the Pompidou in Paris on the list as well. But one building I really do agree with is Melbourne's Federation Square. Damn that place is ugly.
- Will Higgins™
I like the ROM as well -- on the inside it seems the changes are quite nice but to me this thing looks like a wart on the building from the outside. The Gehry AGO mods I find quite pleasing though inside and out. Maybe it is just a matter of taste.

Latest Jungle Disk update (3.01) seems to lose all network mappings on every reboot making the product useless for normal use
Hmm this only seems to happen if you try to log in immediately after reboot -- wait a little while and the network connections are restored. What can I say -- I am impatient.

Large Hadron Collider is online, Higgs boson be damned -- Engadget - http://www.engadget.com/2009...
""We have captured it! First circulating beam of 2009!" And with that tweet, researchers at CERN announced that they did in fact activate the Large Hadron Collider, after quite a long delay and despite warnings of a looming, nefarious Higgs boson. Whether or not we will have had total destruction as an unfortunate result of the device remains to be seen, but should the future find a way to either cease to exist or travel to the past in some time-bending paradox, we only hope linguists and physicists can work together and figure out the proper verb conjugations for this brave new world."
