    Can Paypal Gift be subject to chargebacks?

    I wouldn't do it. A possible scenario is the gift is sent from a hacked paypal account or using a stolen credit card. The victim eventually reports it and the transaction gets reversed. You are the one left out of pocket.

    investing low five figure sum for approx one year

    If you set up a paypal account to fund from your Santander account it's an easy direct debit. You don't actually have to use it and can still have a direct debit with another account.

    Best Anti-Virus for Gaming with Windows 8.1?

    I've used NOD32 for years. I find Microsoft Security Essentials does not work very well if you carelessly open dodgy files.

    US Border patrol....anyone had anything seized?

    I guess it would depend on their copyright laws. Whether possession is enough to prosecute you or not. It doesn't seem hard to fall on the wrong side of the DMCA so yes if they really wanted to get you for something then they could. You could always mail the HDD to yourself! Bruce also talks...

    Libel / Slander

    If you link to it "endorsing" it then yes it is a problem. I remember some legal case we got told about in lectures that involved some graffiti saying something not particularly nice about someone. Some guy was stood pointing it out to people and got prosecuted.

    A way to throttle Core2's without using SpeedStep

    Try: http://www.nordichardware.com/Articles/?skrivelse=465&page=4 Then enable speed step, basically change what multiplier etc speed step uses. I have no idea if this works on Intel chips, I did it on an AMD Turion as that guide is aimed for.
