Not so fast there, PingLo... http://www.forbes.com/sites/anthonykosner/2013/03/23/security-flaws-could-undermine-trust-in-apples-mobile-payment-ambitions/ http://www.zdnet.com/blog/bott/new-mac-malware-epidemic-exploits-weaknesses-in-apple-ecosystem/4726 And here's a database of 21,557 Mac exploits. You're not as safe as you think. http://www.exploit-db.com/platform/?p=osX (btw, why is the @mention feature not available on your profile?)

@@JohnnyQuest - how is it that something that pops up so rarely annoys you so greatly? I just really do not get that. It exacts no toll whatsoever on performance and does not inhibit anything from running - other than ask you to confirm an installer's request to run, or to allow something to modify a typically protected area. Again, under day to day operations, you never even see a UAC confirmation message. Why disable a protection method that barely ever farts, let alone takes a dump?

There has been some discussion on the COD5 servers where I play about not using UAC. I guess people just think it's more of an annoyance than it's worth. Fact is, it's one of the primary lines of defense for our computers against malware. I hear a lot of stuff about how UAC interferes with the "normal" operation of the machine. It does not. It only springs into action when a process tries to do something that could put the system at risk, and at that moment in time, it dims the screen and pops up the familiar (and apparently annoying to many) request for confirmation to continue. It makes me shudder that so many think this protection service is borking up their computer when, in fact, it's there to help. But why take my word for it, right? I've only been a career-long IT guy, so what do I know, lol. I'm not a security analyst, however; it's just that I've seen enough writing on the wall to be able to detect what's wheat and what's chaff. So here's an article you should read from Windows Secrets, and an excerpt from the article is pasted in below that. Please don't short-change your security, people. The malware wars: How you can fight it "If you are still using XP, I'd advise upgrading to Win7 or Win8 as soon as possible — XP is wide open to malware intrusions. Vista and Windows 7 [mostly] fixed this open door with the User Account Control; it pops up every time there is an attempt to make changes to your system, legitimate or not (such as when a new app tries to install). Most people just click Okay and continue, but this is one point when there's a chance of stopping an infection from entering."

Aw heck... How in the world did I miss this one? Soooo Sorry. HAPPY (belated) BIRTHDAY, Belted !!! :fun: :fun: :fun: Hope it was the best one ever. Now, back to work...

Thanks for the heads up. I have the GeForce Experience installed, but you alerted me faster than it did! lol.

Welcome. I only shower naked. A few other things, too. Play online naked? Not so much. I respect your choice, though. Especially if you're a woman. If you're a guy, there are a few women here who'd like a word with you. If you are a women ALL of the guys would like a word with you.

I had a tenant with one of those once. Not surprisingly, I got the unit back with some damaged window screens. Congrats on being the latest post whor... wait you're a jr. I can't call you that. Yet.

Best (as of then) no-name celebrity audience plant EVER. Courtney Cox must have gotten a boob job somewhere along the way .

... misunderstanding ... nothing to see in this post. move along...

What video cards do you have and what drivers? The usermaps folder tells me the map was last downloaded last Sunday, but I'll delete it and give it a go again. If it comes up bad again, I'm gonna be right back in here whining like a little bitch. .

This has been going on for me for a while now, and I know others have also had problems with the map. It's pretty consistently bad for me. The map starts and my cursor starts lagging massively on the screen with the credits and where you have to click "Back" to go on to choose your class before the map starts. Even if I do fight through it, once I get in, the map is a mess of flashing polygons and horrible lag. I used to be able to play the map, but not for the last few months. This may affect NVIDIA graphics cards and not AMD, I'm not sure. Just a possible avenue to check. It may have gone south for me when I updated to the latest Physx drivers from NVIDIA. Seems like it's been about that long since the map has been broken for me. The map is mp_nd4 - a dark sea port map with a ship and rail line on one side of the map and buildings/warehouses on the opposite side. Also has fences and a few searchlight towers, a vehicle area, and a few Quonset huts. There is no other map that consistently causes my computer to whack out like this one does. I would appreciate it if some admins would look into this and consider a permanent removal of the map, or corrective programming on the map. Qball comes to mind as one who has stated he has these kinds of problems with this map also. Anyone else having problems with this map are encouraged to add to this thread.

lol @Expedition ... you are certainly on your way to fitting in nicely here... you idiot ummm... perhaps if you took those shades off inddors you might see it

Oh wait... What's that I hear? Oh look! It's her monthly friend ringing the door bell. Awwwww. Dude!

WOW. What a cool find. From the founder of Amazon.com of all people. I guess when you're richer than dirt, you can do just about anything. Would LOVE to be on his expeditions.

How did things work out, Paper? .

Sometime it just doesn't stop at 3, but at some point things turn around. I'm so sorry, Angel. That's just too much grief and worry and stress to bear. Remember to take time for yourself amid everything you do with and for your family. My prayers are with you.

Happy Birthday Jim! :fun:
