Sometimes I fix neighbor's and family friend's computers and XP is way too susceptible to malware these days. I've been making WAY too much money off that as well. One reason I've switched to a computer related major.

People need to use noscript. As you say, XP easily gets viruses from websites that run scripts in the background (BTJunkie and PirateBay are notorious for this, but other sites do it too).

Noscript can be annoying sometimes but it's a lot less annoying than having to remove a virus.

Also keeping XP up to date helps. I like it a lot as an OS and I ran NoScript even when I used 7, so it's no hassle for me now. M$ has said it'll support XP until 2014 iirc.

that's good that you know what but 50 year old people don't hah. I got 50 bucks the other day just for fixing an 8 year old computer. I told him i didn't want that much as it was a poor value but he didn't care. He wants me to secure his laptop next.

Windows 7 is solid enough. I liked XP more than 7 though. They are giving up functionality for stupid options. If these were cool options that are used by the every user it'd be OK but I think they are going in the wrong direction. I guess I'll be trying a MAC soon.

      Malcom Spence is the best player remaining, hope he’s there.

      The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter.

      Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.
