Yes, it's free. CSI is different from the fullblown Prevx. It doesn't
scan all files, just checks for active spyware or malware, and is
consequently very fast. There is an EXE that can be run online or saved
to disk, but to run it requires a non-proxied internet connection.

I think it's a useful companion to realtime protections.

Cheers.

I would suggest going out and volunteering to help other people.
I have found most depressed people (I know it's a serious illness)
spend way too much time thinking about themselves.

Also make sure you get your exercise daily like a long walk or a
swim.

Once you start feeling a bit better maybe you can go on to the next
step to be together enough to start filling out resumes, going
back to school, etc.

Paypal confirmed address only. Why would a merchant choose to loose
sales like that?

Just checked, I didn't use paypal last year. Click on item
description, then add to cart, then it looks like you get
their regular check out where you don't need paypal.

last year it was only $18.99 ;-) but was better than all
the $25+ ebay sellers.

hope that works (didn't need a 3rd one ;-)

So they dont get ripped off by scam artists using stolen cards.

That sort of low margin transaction is more important to avoid the rip
offs with, because you dont have the margins to wear the rip offs with.

Paypal being what it is, it makes sense for a merchant to protect
himself, after a fashion, in such manner. I went to the W3 site ready to
buy but, unfortunately, they don't mail to P.O boxes and APO/FPO
addresses, regardless of whether Paypal confirmed. I can't do business
with them because my confirmed address is a P.O. box and, apparently,
they lack the experience to know that they're using the wrong shipper if
they can't deliver to every address in the U.S.A. Perhaps, they may have
reasons for restricting direct sales but, I ask, "Why would a merchant
choose to loose(sic) sales like that?"

Are you talking about a box at the post office or somewhere like the
UPS Store (formerly Mailboxes Etc)? If it is the post office private
carriers can not deliver there.

I thought the OP was talking about NiMH, and the 20,500 mAH was for
alkaline. It appears to me that all three have voltage under load,
averaged through the usable portion of their discharge, close to 1.2-1.25
volts.

Can't speak about the travel clubs, but we've done that for years on our
magazine subscriptions. They most always come back with a cheaper
offer once the subscription runs out.

We've probably had over a dozen "new" subscriptions of Southern Living,
amongst other magazines.

My renewals for US News dropped from $45 to $10 a year in less than
three months.
The NY Times regularly offers half price for three months before
reverting to full price. I always cancel after the three months and
usually about six weeks later they call or email offering the half price
again.

P.S. I have used the same strategy on credit cards. When a card is
about to expire tell them you want a lower rate and/or no annual fee or
you will go elsewhere. Let the rep know that if you cancel the card and
the bank follows up to ask why you why you will tell them it was
because (name of rep) refused to accommodate you.

I never expected such, but I let two credit cards expire this year
(needed to weed out a few, so I didn't call to verify the replacement
cards).

One offered me $25 and the other $100 if I would reconsider (both no
fee). I did, but after making a few required charges, they are now
sitting in a drawer.

I'll probably drop both next year.

The best credit card deal I ever got was from Bank of America. They
offered 1.9 percent for 6 months as long as there were no late payments
or over limit purchases. The small type included a note that payments
posted, not received but posted, after 2 p.m. would be credited the next
day.
I put the money that I would have spent on the purchases in a money
market went to branch to make the payments a few days in advance and on
the 6th month took funds from the money market and paid the card in
full. Never used it again.

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan - Police fired tear gas and clubbed thousands of
lawyers protesting President Gen. Pervez Musharraf's decision to
impose emergency rule, as Western allies threatened to review aid to
the troubled Muslim nation. Opposition groups put the number of
arrests at 3,500, although the government reported half that.

Musharraf, who took power in a 1999 coup and is also head of
Pakistan's army, suspended the constitution on Saturday ahead of a
Supreme Court ruling on whether his recent re-election as president
was legal. He ousted independent-minded judges, put a stranglehold on
independent media and granted sweeping powers to authorities to crush
dissent.

The attorney general called Monday for the polls to be held on time,
but Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz left open the possibility for a delay.

Under intense pressure from the United States and other Western allies
to hold elections as scheduled in January, Musharraf said Monday he
would relinquish control of the military and return the country to
"the same track as we were moving" but he gave no indication when the
vote would take place.

"I am determined to remove my uniform once we correct these pillars -
the judiciary, the executive, and the parliament," Musharraf was
quoted by state-run Pakistan Television as telling foreign ambassadors
Monday.

"I can assure you there will be harmony ... confidence will come back
into the government, into law enforcement agencies and Pakistan will
start moving again on the same track as we were moving."

Public anger was mounting in the nation of 160 million people, which
has been under military rule for much of its 60-year history, but
demonstrations so far have been limited largely to activists, rights
workers and lawyers - angered by his attacks on the judiciary. All
have been quickly and sometimes brutally stamped out.

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Washington was reviewing its
assistance to Pakistan, which has received billions of dollars in aid
since Musharraf threw his support behind the U.S.-led war on terror
after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

At a news conference in the West Bank on Monday, she urged the army
chief to follow through on past promises to "take off his uniform."

"I want to be very clear," she said, as a team of U.S. defense
officials postponed plans to travel to Islamabad for talks Tuesday
because of the crisis. "We believe that the best path for Pakistan is
to quickly return to a constitutional path and then to hold
elections."

Defense Secretary Robert Gates suggested that military aid may not be
affected because the Bush administration does not want to disrupt its
partnership with Pakistan in fighting al-Qaida and other militants.
The country has been hit by a string of suicide bombings in recent
weeks blamed on extremists.

Britain said it had no current plans to change the $493 million it has
budgeted in aid to Pakistan over three years. However, "the whole
world will be watching to see how the transition to democracy that is
so important for our own security ... and the security and stability
of Pakistan itself is re-established," said Foreign Secretary David
Milliband.

The Dutch government suspended development assistance, becoming the
first country to do so.

Aziz left open the possibility that the vote would not be held in
January, telling journalists "the next general elections will be held
according to the schedule or a program that will be finalized after
consultation with all the stakeholders."

Critics say Musharraf imposed emergency rule in a last-ditch attempt
to cling to power.

His leadership is threatened by the Islamic militant movement that has
spread from border regions to the capital, the reemergence of
political rival and former prime minister, Benazir Bhutto, and an
increasingly defiant Supreme Court, which has been virtually decimated
in the last two days.

Since late Saturday, between 1,500 and 1,800 people have been detained
nationwide, an Interior Ministry official said on condition of
anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media.
