Avoid Skype at all cost.

I had been using Skype for over 12 years, and just decided to delete my account (if possible!). My account was illegally accessed and my entire balance used to make calls to Cameroon. For two weeks, I have been trying to get Skype to simply tell me how my account was accessed (whether there were repeated tries at guessing my password or whether the person logged in on their first try, or whether they hacked their way into their systems some other way). The process has been infuriating to say the least. IMPOSSIBLE to get an answer, their constant reply : "We are sorry for the inconvenience, however, Skype takes our customers' privacy and confidentiality very seriously, and therefore we cannot disclose this information due to our Skype Privacy Statement. This is the reason why we advised you to contact a member of the law enforcement agency with regards to your request." Can anyone else see the irony? ...And contacting the law enforcement to know whether someone illegally accessed my account on their first try? Seriously?

Yea, I have also found the instructions on using BAR-EDIT lock the cpu to 3.2GHz.  But, can't these turbo to 3.5GHz?  If there is a way to do this I'd like to know how.  
Since I have gone ahead and purchase this thing, I want to be able to use it.  I will try adding another 8gb ram.  This should work.

i would also like to add and ssd, something cheap like a 250GB mx100 but, I don't really like the idea of having to buy a retail copy of win 8.1.    I mean my machine came with windows and j could try to clone the oem version but my os is corrupted..  I'm pretty sure this is due to the crappy HHD it has.. but windows still works.  I'm a little torn about what to do about it.
It seems this is the only option to improve performance on this laptop.
No you dont need to buy new windows 8.1 or so just use burnrecovery tool in msi laptop create your USB recovery stick and a .iso version incase you wanna formate usb in future then you can atleast burn .iso's into dvd's then when you bought new SSD just run usb and it will restore your os back to new ssd , also 4700HQ goes to 3.4GHz max and 4710HQ has turbo to 3.5GHz max so depends on which i7 you got.

  • Avoid AMD at all costs! Get intel&Nvidia!

    My brand new GX70 cant keep up my buddy's Samsung S7 gtx660m.  The reason why....AMD's Enduro in combination with their A10 apu. You can google it, more than two years and they still haven't fixed the issues. In-fact AMD forced companies to removed posts about the issues. CoH2 Beta, Battlefield 3, Borderlands 2, and Guild Wars 2, all have the same problem. They can not fully utilize the gpu on low, med, or high settings. After tracking down some modified 13.6 beta drivers on a Japanese website, I managed to get Borderlands 2 to run between 13 FPS-98fps AVG 28fps on High/Ultra settings w/no PhysX . Guild Wars 2 is unplayable in populated areas even on low settings I average 12fps in the main cities. The integrated GPU actually outperforms the 8970m due to the low gpu usage. I've done clean installs of the 12.1, 12.3, 12.7, 13.1, 13.4 catalyst drivers along with MacHater's Enduro DX9 hotfix to no avail. Tweaked every known setting in CCC and nothing. After scouring the internet for about two days I found out that I am not the only one. Its a known problem that AMD has not addressed. It is also the reason why many of the boutique and other manufacturers have dropped AMD gpus all together. Also MSI locked the bios so you can not disable AMD Enduro with out voiding warranty by flashing custom bios. You have all been warned.

  • Should we Avoid QuickTime at all Costs?

    Hello, an established and distinguished member of this forum recently said:
    "Don't use QuickTime...for anything.  Seriously, just completely uninstall it from your rig."
    What is some of the thinking behind this view?  I know others have also expressed very strong reservations about it as well.
    I don't want to start a big controversy or anything, but I would like to get up to speed on this essential issue.
    Thanks so much!
    Matt
    PS: I have a Canon 5D Mark II and shoot in H.264.... Quicktime seems to be intimately involved in my workflow somehow.....

    Having QuickTime installed won't hurt anything if you don't choose to use it.
    Having QuickTime installed is necessary to import several kinds of .mov files (though Premiere Pro can handle some natively, as in the example that Colin gave)---so, if you are going to use .mov files as source media, you need QuickTime installed.
    Exporting to QuickTime is sometimes required by some clients. Though you may try to dissuade them, the client is (usually) the boss.
    If you have a choice, and you care about color fidelity, don't export to QuickTime. QuickTime has a jumbled, half-implemented way of kinda-sorta doing color management. This method doesn't even work reliably within Apple software, meaning that people can't roundtrip media just within Apple applications with consistent color in some circumstances. This absolutely bedevils us, as we keep trying to hit this moving target. Any time someone tells me that our color management system isn't working, I _know_ (well, strongly suspect, anyway, with a very high rate of being right) that they're using QuickTime media.
    Because QuickTime is a 32-bit software component, we had to create our own intermediate process (QT32 Server) to communicate between QuickTime and the 64-bit Adobe video applications. This component can diminish performance but, more to the point, it can be the source of some other problems. The one that springs immediately to mind is the fact that aggressive firewall programs seem to hate QT32 Server, as described here:

  • Try and avoid BT at all costs

    I have now been without internet (dont care about the telephone) for 2 weeks. BT took one week to send out a technician to see where the problem was and he discovered that it was under the road, so maybe another few weeks tp dig the road up and fix the problem. Meanwhile I am spending at least 15 pounds a day in mobile internet. Cant get to speak to anyone that knows anything about when this might get fixed...crazy! If Virgin had fibre optic here in Combe Down Bath I would never had contracted BT for internet.

  • Can't open Skype at all on Macbook Pro

    I have been struggling with Skype for a long time on my Macbook Pro and wondered if anyone has any advice. When I try to open the application, it crashes immediately before I can even log in. This has been the behaviour for several versions of Skype now, so I am starting to think there is something on my machine which conflicts with it and the problem will not be solved by waiting for a future release of Skype.
    Currently it is failing with version 6.0.60.2496 of Skype (downloaded today) on a MacBook Pro running Mac OS 10.8.2. The machine is a 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4 GB of RAM, purchased in 2009. Exactly the same problem occurred in Lion, before I upgraded to Mountain Lion.
    I have tried a number of steps to solve the problem, including:
    * Removing the /skype folder from /Library/Application Support and the preference file from Preferences, uninstalling Skype, restarting in Safe Mode, downloading it again, installing and trying to open it
    * Changing the settings in Text to Speech to a different voice
    * Downloading an older version of Skype and trying to run that
    Everything crashes instantly every time and I am unable to use Skype at all.
    Skype support have told me there's nothing further they can suggest and they think it may be a conflict with my System fonts, but I am desperate for any advice from someone who has encountered (and hopefully solved!) a similar problem.
    Many thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

    Hi Katherine,
    You'll need to save it to a different format to use it on a Mac. If you can still open them on the HP, that would probably be the easiest. Save them as a Mac compatible format such as .mpg. If that doesn't work, here is a converter you can try: http://www.squared5.com/

  • Cost Element Report for all cost objects

    Hello,
    Is there any standard SAP report where it can list down all cost elements, and their line item/total postings done to various CO Objects in one shot.
    We have CE/CCTR, CE/IO, etc, but if we can have one report which can list all cost elements and postings done via it to different cost objects - cost centers, internal orders, WBS, etc, might be very handy to us.
    Thanks
    Balla

    Hi Balla,
    Please use S_SL0_21000007 for your requirement.
    It gives cost element postings to different cost objects.

  • Gather all cost for asset under construction

    Hi everybody
    Please tell me the way to gather all cost for asset under construction. You can detail as good as possible.
    Thanks so much
    Ngocpt

    Dear Ngocpt,
    Internal order is functionality from CO. U can use it for the purpose of collating all the cost. U can also do cost planning in internal orders. This helps u to analyse bet planned & actual cost.
    Create IO thru KO01. Once created use it in ur transactions. In your case u can use it in posting any document to AUC.
    Also as I mentioned in my previous post that IO can posted with real values and statis tical values. If you want to post statistical vales only then check the box statis tical order in control data.
    Whenever passing an entry put ur IO number in "order" field.
    Hope this is of use to u.
    Regards,

  • Delete all cost center

    Hi all,
    I use LSMW to create all cost center for system. However, all cost center have codename wrong, so I want to delete all cost center and create again. Can I? How by? I have many cost centers so I cant use KS04. Please help me, thanks very much!
    P/S: some cost centers have data posting on it.
    Regards

    Hello Tran,
    For cost centers that have data in them you can not delete them. There are two options
    1. Block those cost centers : Go to the control tab in the cost center master data and check all the boxes there.
    2. In case its a non live system and if you do not have much data then you may delete the transaction data with transaction OKC3 but the problem is that it would delete each and every data posted in CO. After this you can delete the cost centers using OCK4 or KS14.  This is not a recomended approach and you should only use it only when you can do away with the data posted if that is very less. In this process you may loose important test data in you need them.
    Kind Regards // Shaubhik
