I completely agree with you. The government is even doing this to it’s own people periodically through vaccines and water fluoridation. Very few of the docile masses emerge to suspect otherwise.

Comment on Doesn’t sound good: Windows 7 RC network problems by Mike P

In an update to what is possibly the most baffling case of computer craziness I’ve seen in a while…

After going through everything from a simple disconnect/reconnect to a complete Factory Reset of both the Netbook and Router, I decided to phone Tech Support.

My misgivings were validated when the first guy said “Sorry, as the product is less than a year old you need to speak to the manufacturer”. So why did they tell me to phone my retailer not 5 minutes earlier?
Meh… try again.
Called up a second time and this guy was really helpful, although was having trouble following the problem because he was as confused as me.
He put me through to 2nd Level Support who then were extremely helpful and did a remote link (over ethernet, through the same router) to my Netbook – even though that isn’t technically part of my Service Agreement. (Shhh!)

After trying everything, we (together, since Windows 7 doesn’t allow remote access to do certain things, like typing in some boxes… weird!) removed the security from the wireless network – and removed the connection from the Windows-stored list.
What the heck?!?!? It worked!!
Then we put a basic key back in and, again, it worked!

So, I’ve removed the key, put in another secure key (test used 12345678 – not exactly ’secure’, is it?) and it’s all working fine.

I am, right this minute, carrying this Netbook through to the kitchen so I can make a coffee… Woohoo!!

PS Any thoughts as to WHY this worked when even Factory Resets of both devices didn’t?

When I first got my new Netbook (hey, I needed a new mobile computing option and Windows 7 seemed like a good idea at the time), it worked flawlessly – I was impressed by how quick it was.
Hotel I was at had network issues (I thought it might be the Netbook, but their laptop couldn’t connect, neither could my PocketPC on WM6). One physical reboot of the router and, hoorah, connections for all!
Got home on Friday last and connected to my router on the second attempt (the first time I couldn’t remember the security key – doh!).
Worked fine until yesterday. Windows 7 suddenly decided it couldn’t identify the network (despite showing the SSID and all the diagnostic readouts telling me it was all fine except the “There was a problem” and “Windows could not identify the problem”.
So, I tried rebooting the router. No.
Reset & re-configure the router. No.
Connect with wire. Yes – a one-time only deal that has never worked agian!
Hmm, lets’s try my mother’s XP laptop and my Pocket PC – ooh, they work fine.
So, after checking every setting on the system, including the looking through all the detailed diagnostic information (which seems to say that everything worked – except that it then, well, didn’t!) I decided to restore the system to Factory Settings. It was late and I was out of patience.
Started the restore, surfed on my XP machine to find some answers. Finished the restore, completed the First-time setup (just like last week). And it…. didn’t work.
I’ve just tried the suggestion above of uninstalling the network adapter (reboot & allow to reinstall). No dice, doesn’t work.
It’s not the router (although Windows keeps suggesting that!) and it’s not the wireless NIC (how else would the diagnostic information find, detect, connect and fail to hold on to my router).
At some point, Windows simply decides that it can’t be bothered and I’m at my wits end. I’m about to phone the store’s Tech Support, an action I undertake with great loathing as they will probably suggest many of the steps I have already taken, along with suggesting that I may not know what I am doing. Which I do – seeing as how my job is to do over-the-phone networking support for students… some of which have encountered a strikingly similar issue…

Comment on A history of CIA coups and atrocities by Naruto

Everything mentioned here is entirely true and must be used to unseat the “Rockafellar” run “secret government” here in the U.S.. The CIA and NSA must be taken apart piece by piece and replaced by something that serve’s the people……………How the CIA and the KGB ever became what they did is truly horrendous, serving only a handfull of ultra-elite leader’s, in their respective countries!! Neither served the people but, played a giant chess game, using hapless commoner’s as its’ pawns, all throughout the world!! To hell with Imperialism, whether it was the Capitalist or Communist version’s………………..For the record, the CIA were monster’s to use the Hungarian’s the way they did. But, so was Krustev for violently murdering any Hungarian they chose to. As I said above both sides were quite evil!!!!!!!

WOW! They really need to stop bottom trawling because so many creatures die, and the seamounts are being destroyed.
