Oh man I miss... uhh imagined the modem noise in my head. I seriously wish modems sounded like scatman john larkin.

The scatman's ok--but in my book nothing beats the sound of an old USR Sportster connecting at 56k....err..52k...or whatever the heck the feds limited it to.

I'll send a bottle of Guiness to the first person to figure out the phone number my modem dialed...

I was unclear. Check autorun files, validate Microsoft signatures and then remove everything without a valid signature.

That would probably be a bad idea. Using the autoruns program from SysInternals.com, I checked the signatures of all my files.

Here are a few that would lead to a bad day if deleted... Exchange

...though I am thinking about the problem from the perspective of a server admin, and not a home desktop user.

Any specific reason you do not want to use Eclipse?

1. I despise Java.

2. Every single Java app from an IDE, all the way down to a text editor carries this bulky framework with it that immediately consumes all the memory in my system. It doesn't matter if I'm running it on Windows or Linux.

3. All Java apps are ugly as sin. And it's not that they just lack 'beauty', but I think they actually go out of the way to try and hurt the user. (Remember these Dilbert strips? dilbert-20020923 dilbert-20020924 (I am also aware of the irony that my website looks like absolute crap. I am not a UI designer.)

4. It's a pain in the ass to start developing in Python when using Eclipse. Maybe it's just me, but it takes FOREVER to get Eclipse started, setup, and to begin developing.

I'm not trying to start a flamewar, but I toggle back and forth between vi and kate (but mostly vi) because the UI isn't horrible, and it's quick to start developing. Plus vi is easy to use when I'm connected to a remote machine to make some quick changes or debugging.

He wasn't referring to his comment. Bad karma should not be directed, allow an individual to fall into that trap themselves.

Your sig is hilarious.
Did you ever see the SevTrek cartoon...?

Anyone remember the old FrontPage 2000 ad that Microsoft posted? Even their ad didn't use correct HTML. (See if you can spot the error)

One day a customer called the internet provider I used to work for. Apparently she didn't hear the system to tell her to 'leave a mesasge' so we had this on the support group voicemail. Sorry it's in wma--the ISP is entirely Windows based and I used to be a Microsoft schill.

WOPR!

What about the answer to the question of Life, the Universe, and Everything?
