Keep your virus protection up to date
Keep your virus protection and other computer firewall's etc. up to date. I had mine up to date and I was still the unhappy receiver of a RootKit (virus) that I was unable to get rid of. I actually went out and bought a new SSD drive to install XP onto. I do not know how I got my lucky hands on this rootkit but, from what I hear there has been ALLOT of it going around.

Signiture Lines
I am starting this thread to hold some off topic comments that were included in another thread.
The purpose of this thread is to discuss how the signature line should be used. This is not to be turned into a political debate.
I usually enjoy reading peoples signatures. They give each user a chance to show a bit of their personality.

A radical idea for traffic safety?
Invariably, the red light and speed camera discussions bring out the legalists who insist that everyone should just obey the regulations even if that means more government control under the constant eye of law enforcement or their camera proxy.

If your into remote control models. lets create a POI for flying Clubs and Strips
If your into remote control models and either have a RC or have a fantasy wish list show what you have.
Mine is a wish list SR71 Black bird with twin jet engines, and of course mine would have a modified camera bay.
Check out this flight, it's awesome!

This week we are recognizing A_user.
This week you helped update some of Perrdoms projects so that he would not feel overwhelmed when he returns. You are a great man and a loving friend. It is important for us to take care of one another in this community. Even if we don't meet face to face we are still a family.

G3 geomagnetic storm in progress
We've had the first big storm in a long time.. It's classed as a G3.
The reason we should care is that there is the possibility of GPS accuracy being greatly degraded during the solar event. If you've experienced an unusual loss of accuracy today, then this might be the reason.

Got aTicket for Registration Plate Cover
As I mentioned in the Topic, I got a ticket for $65 yesterday.
The car was PARKED.
I think it's ridiculous because it's not a smoke color, it's a clear see-through plastic.
It's one like this on my rear plate http://tinyurl.com/yfxqkds
Any ideas? Pay the $65 or fight back?
Thanks.

Can Russia sell home-grown satellite navigation to a country reliant on American GPS?
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/8595704.stm
With the Glonass satellite-navigation constellation nearly complete, Russia's plan to wean itself off the US Global Positioning System (GPS) appears to be coming to fruition.
But Moscow now says it wants the Russian system to work hand-in-hand with GPS rather than being a direct competitor.

New Mexico Advice
Hello folks, got a question...
We are planning a trip to New Mexico over Memorial Day weekend, and since this is our first time out there, we could use some advice from anyone that live there or has been out there before.










File containing all Exxon, Esso, Mobil locations in the US and Canada
on the exxonmobil.com website. Go to Products and Services. Select find a US or Canada service station. Select download to GPS. You can pick Garmin, Tom Tom or Magellan files. The download file contains all stores in the US and Canada. The file is updated daily. I've loaded it on my Garmin via POI Loader and it works great.
