See, many people on that page had it right that this could potentially be useful in revolutionizing internet TV. The use of torrents can help to diffuse bandwidth costs for content providers and possibly make it easier for movies or TV shows to be available on the internet for free or at least for cheaper than what's out there now.

Then there are those who think this is the future of TV. Apparently, the ideal future for TV is one without channels where everything is available when you choose. Here's one user's comment: "The technology is there for a la carte television. Basically nothing but on-demand. No more channels, just like Hulu for your television."

With the Hawks winning this series in 6 games with game 6 having a stunning score of 7-5 for the home team, that game in a sense summed up the entire series in 60 minutes of hockey. The Canucks took too many penalties, their penalty kill was ineffective, the young snipers of the Hawks put the puck in the net, the Canucks defense seemed very slow and a step behind on every play, and Khabibulin outplayed Roberto Luongo. Not many people are overly surprised at all the the items at the top of the list, penalty kill, slow defence, etc..., but no one, including myself thought that Roberto Luongo would be the second best, by a fair margin, goaltender in this series.

Im not going to bash Luongo and say this entire playoff failure is his fault, but under no circumstance in a do or die game can your goaltender give up 7 goals in a game and still expect the team in front of him to the win the game. Yes their have been numerous nights that Luongo stood on his head and won a game for the team, but he is still expected to give his team a chance at winning a game. He didnt need to stand on his head and keep the Hawks to a single goal, rather when the Canucks came back from down 3-1 to up 4-3, he had close the door and hold the fort. This isnt because he is the star goaltender or because he is making $7.5 million a year, rather because he has a C on his helmet and he is the leader and face of this franchise. But again goaltending was not the only problem the Canucks had in this series, but in game 6 with the home team putting in 7 goals it is a glaring issue.

I'll cover an elegant way of syncing your files between two computers using Windows Folder Redirection and Offline Files. You would think that such a function would be easily accomplished considering how many people these days have multiple computers in the home... but you'd be surprised!

Here's how you can get this bubble to pop up.

Like the Beta version of Windows 7, which was made available to the public in January, the RC version will be time-limited in that it will function normally until March 1, 2010. By that time, it's expected that Windows 7 will have already been released, and users should be using the full version anyways. Also keep in mind that, because an RC is still an incomplete product, you may experience bugs or oddities. From my own trials with the Beta earlier this year, however, and from what I've read elsewhere it's already as stable as Windows Vista.

Since the public has gotten its hands on the Windows 7 Beta, the operating system has received positive reviews all around. It's stable of new features have generally improved the usability of the operating system. Even its subtle additions like the ability to automatically place and resize windows to half the screen by dragging them to the edge of the monitor or the built-in keyboard shortcuts to move windows between multiple screens on a multi-monitor setup are things that I miss every day when using Vista. And on top of the new features, the real story with Windows 7 has been its overall refinement and performance -- it just feels snappier than its predecessor and informal tests have concluded that it's faster than both XP and Vista.

Dell is trying to change that with its new Studio One 19 all-in-one desktop. Like other members of the Studio class, the Studio One 19 is a beautiful machine designed to be placed outside the office around the home. Contrary to what the name implies, it's built around a widescreen LCD that is only 18.5" on the diagonal, though its specifications range wide from a Pentium Dual Core E5200 processor on the cheapest model ($699 USD starting) to a Core 2 Quad Q8200 on the most expensive ($1238 USD starting). To my content, all but the basic model comes with at least 3GB of RAM and come pre-equipped with the 64-bit version of Windows Vista Home Premium.

Head to Head Record: 2-2 (1-1 at Home and 1-1 Away)

But all this begs to question the fact if the Canucks even want or need Pyatt in the line up. During the season he was bounced around on all four lines, but spent most of the time on the 3rd and 4th lines as a checker and an energy guy. In 69 games he tallied 10 goals, 9 assists and had an even rating. As the season went on he was used more and more on the penalty kill as Coach AV was more comfortable using him in situations on the penalty kill and in key defensive situations. He was skating well, as skating is not one of his great skills, using his large frame and was a great compliment to the third line with Wellwood and Bernier.

Pyatt going after the puck along the boardsHowever since his departure from the team, Mason Raymond has taken his spot both on the penalty kill and on the third line and has looked great on the wing along side Wellwood and Bernier, and with Ryan Johnson on the penalty kill as well. For the first time this season his speed and effort levels look great, and he has been an offensive threat as well, as he hit a couple posts and had some great rushes in round 1.

So what does this all mean for you? What exactly is 64-bit computing? I'll introduce you to the concepts of 64-bit computing and share with you some pointers as to why you would need it. I must warn that there will be some technical speak, but I promise I'll try to keep it as simple as possible.

So what exactly is 64-bit computing?
In a nutshell, your computer's processor (or CPU) takes in a bunch of instructions given to it by your software and performs some computations on these instructions. During the computation process, it also needs to pull and use information that is stored in memory based on a location (or memory address) given to it. A 64-bit CPU simply means that your computer can store and process numbers that are made up of 64 bits, where a bit is simply a 1 or a 0; likewise, a 32-bit CPU can store and process numbers that are made up of 32 bits.

The talk around the team was that both Sundin and Salo would be ready to go if there was a Game 5, so either their injuries weren't that serious, or the Canucks PR team is just twisting the story to make it seem that way. Even after the game 4 win, goaltender Roberto Luongo needed 40 minutes of treatment before he came out to address the media. No one on that team is going to admit that they are in fact injured, as no injuries are ever disclosed during the playoffs, but all the players agree that a quick sweep of the Blues is a good thing and will allow them to be fresh and healthy for the second round.

But when does rest become rust, how long can the players practice and go through the motions? After a while the players will be chomping at the bit to get back into playoff action, and the worry is with the long break that it may take the players a period or two, or even a game or two, to get their playoffs legs. So it is up to the coaching staff to think of new ways to keep these players razor sharp as their second round opponents won't have any of that rust to shake off.

Although it wasn't the most hard hitting, bone shattering or physcially demanding series such as the Flames/Hawks, Pens/Flyers, it still had its fair share of big hits, scrums after the whistle and a general hate on for the other team. But in every game as every shift became more imporant, each penalty becoming more costly, we saw less and less of the borderline hits and less scrums after the whistle. This is not to say that these teams didnt have the general hate for each other, rather it seemed as if the players quickly realised that they could not be in the box for a game ending goal, as all the games, even the 3-0 shutout, were close all the way to the final horn. Only one game, game 4, went into overtime, but all of the third periods had that sudden death feeling, and everyone had that feeling of next goal wins, or the next goal may shift the momentum one way.

While some will chalk up the loss to the lack of experience that a young Blues team had, close to a dozen players entering their first set on NHL playoffs, it was rather the lack of production by their veterans that was the real reason this series ended so early. The Blues didnt get enough production from Tkchuck, McDonald and even Jackman on the back end, and yes some of their youngsters were very quiet, Berglund, Oshie, Perron, but this is to be expected out of the young players, and its up to the veterans to step up and lead this team each game.

Apple's latest TV ad: "Legal Copy"

The gist of the ad essentially says that there are gotchas to the statements made by PC about how easy it is to use, and so it needs legal copy in order to protect itself. So, apparently the Mac is so perfect that it doesn't need to deal with legal copy.

Let's test this out.

5. Rangers vs. Capitals

Coming into this series everyone say the Caps as a team that could potentially come out of the East, especailly with the offensive talent that they have with the likes of Ovechkin, Semin and Green on the back end as well. The only weak spot that most analyists saw was between the pipes with Jose Theodore, who the Caps hoped would return to his Hart Trophy form from a few years back. The Rangers on the other hand had limped into the playoffs and looked like a good fit for the Caps. Fast forward 3 games into this series and the Rangers have a 2-1 lead with both wins in Washington, and forcing the Caps to bench Theodore and use rookie goaltender Simeon Varlamov. Yes the kid has been very good for them in net, only allowing 1 goal in 2 games, but no one expected Theodore to get pulled after 1 game and for the Rangers to win both games in Washington, this is shaping up to be a very interesting series.

Mats Sundin battling with some St Louis BluesThe Canucks on the other hand are playing great defensivley, are getting great goaltending from Roberto Luongo and have been fantastic on the power play and have killed 3 seperate, very long, 5 on 3's that could have changes the whole landscape of this series. Offensivley the Sedins have 9 points in 3 games, and have gotten secondary scoring from the likes of Burrows, Bernier, Sundin and a number of defensemen as well. Although the team is playing well, the Canucks still have some adversity to overcome in the form of an injury to the 10 million dollar man Mats Sundin.

With a 3-0 lead the Canucks have the choice of whether or not to give the big Swede an extra maintainence day and hope the team can close them out without his presence in the line up, or they can bring him back into the lineup and try to finish off the Blues in game 4. Personally I think they should give Sundin an extra couple days off as his 38 year old lower body injury, most likely his hip or groin, is not going to heal as fast or feel as great as it would have been if he was 5-7 years younger. There is no reason to rush him back in for game 4 as they have the luxury of coming back to Vancouver in game 5 and winning the series on home ice. Also keep in mind this team won game 3 without Sundin, and didnt look like they missed his presence a great deal.

As much as the iPod contributes to the player's overall popularity, iTunes does have a decent interface, great library management, and numerous other features going for it. Things like Party Shuffle and the new Genius playback mode are great alternatives to your standard "shuffle" playback. Even the Cover Flow view, while on the surface seems mainly like a waste of screen real-estate, adds a welcomed visual element to browsing your music collection.

Windows LiveBut Gates' successor, Ray Ozzie, is taking the company in a different direction, putting the company into a kind of "startup mode," much like a small startup company. While the intent of this move by the Chief Software Architect is definitely commendable, as it gives more freedom to developers in the company to develop for the sake of developing, the end result is a confusing mish-mash of overlapping products in the all-important Windows Live lineup. With stiff competition coming from the likes of Google, Microsoft needs their Windows Live brand to shine in order to survive in an ever-connected world.

There's no better example of this madness than Microsoft's cloud-computing and cloud-storage offerings. When I say the cloud, I mean having the storage or processing of your data done through services on the internet. I consider myself a power user, yet when I attempted to find a suitable solution for syncing files between my desktop and laptop a couple months ago (a simple and ever-common problem these days), I was met with a tangled mess when looking into Microsoft's offerings.

Sure, I dabble in a bit of minor backups, but I haven't done anything serious. At most, I make copies of my most important work-related files. The backups have always been on-site, often on the same computer and -- I'm embarrassed to say -- often on the same hard drive. But these were backups meant mainly to save my data from yours truly and not from anything of the disastrous sort.

My two greatest barriers when it comes to off-site backups are probably the same for most others: cost and complexity of task. I knew there were plenty of services out there that offered backups through the internet, and the ones I found before were usually for a yearly fee of about $50 or so. (In hindsight, it's really quite affordable.) But I'm cheap.

In addition - we got ourselves another remake : Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood - this week being the second episode. It's going to be following the manga a lot more, however from the first episode, the animation is already a little lacking compared to the first anime.

The Flames on the other hand have dug themselves a very deep hole after not being able to beat a back up goalie who hasnt played in 30 some games and a team that is getting ready for a round of golf rather than a round of the playoffs. They now need the Avalanche to beat the Canucks in regulation and now need to beat an Edmonton team with nothing to lose and a ton of confidence after beating them 5-1 tonght.

Now this gives the Canucks coaching staff a couple of interesting decsions as the team only needs a single point to clinch the division. So this means that the Canucks can lose the game (in overtime or shootout) and still win the division. Since I have already gone over whether or not to rest some players for tomorrows game, I wont go over it again, but rather give it a quick summary of the guys who can use some rest and guys who can use some playing time.

Tip 1. Use search liberally
One of the major changes in Windows Vista is a fundamental emphasis on search. All aspects of your computing experience is made searchable out of the box. This means that you can search and open programs, documents, and files right from within your Start menu. You can even search the web from your Start menu too!

Use the search function in your Start menu, even when doing something as simple as launching a program. You'll save precious time by just typing in a keyword from the program's name rather than having to go through the "All Programs" list and browsing for your program. Once you get used to resisting the urge to browse for what you're looking for, it's really a matter of typing in a few keys from the name of the program and hitting Enter right after.

Examples of activities that can trigger alerts include someone leaving a comment on your public profile or on one of your blog posts or reviews, or someone becoming a fan of you. All of these alerts can, of course, be modified by every member. As a convenience, we've turned them on for you, so if you want to disable some or all of the alerts, you can do so from within a new panel in your Dashboard.

We, along with those who requested this feature, think these simple alerts will go a long way in further engaging every member in the Thotswap community.

So do we forfiet a division title and start on the road against the Blackhawks, who we may match up better against, or do we want to push for that division banner and face the Blue Jackets in the first round and maybe run into the hottest goalie in the league in Steve Mason. If we dont beat the Kings on Thursday I guarantee we see a couple new faces in the lineup for the season finale, but if it comes to that last game versus the Avs it will be a tough choice as all we may need is a win to clinch the division. Either way the next couple of days will be very interested and both fans and players will be keeping a close eye on the Battle of Alberta.

Anyone else have any comments on what the team should do? Do we match up better against Chicago or Columbus?

With all the players bringing a different aspect to the lineup it gives the Canucks a bunch of possibilities and allows them to put out a fourth line that will be most effective against which ever team they match up with in the playoffs. With Hordichuck they get a lot of toughness and grit and have a legitimate heavyweight tough guy, but how many times will he drop the gloves in the playoffs and will he get a regulat shift in the post season?

Jannik Hansen and Mayson Raymond both add some speed and offensive touch around the net, with Raymond haveing more offensive, and both will get a regular shift along with time on the penalty kill as well. Although both players are very small and dont add very much toughness, they are both versatile enough that they can play in the top six along with the bottom six as well. Also with Hansen you get a right handed shot who may be a benefit in his own zone when it comes to digging out pucks and clearing the zone.
