...test every patch in a VM or a machine with a similar hardware set. Period! Turn off Automatic Updates and tell it to not bother you or the user because it's turned off.
Doesn't everything have a frequency at which it breaks? I mean, human rib cages, crystal glasses have been known to break with just the right tone. In the case of a former engine of mine (non-rocket), it was right around 133Hz (8000rpm/60seconds=133 Cycles per second).
There are a million ways that activation causes problems - remote users, computer rental companies that re-image after every use, schools that re-image labs frequently...etc. As a lab tech at a public university who has done this... never again... NEVER!
I did the same thing as you. I gave it 6 months to grow on me. All it did was aggravate the hell out of me too!
My grievances are as follows:
1. Give me the ability to turn aero completely off damn it! I don't need all of that resource gluttonous crap running at all period. Even if I do run the Win2K look!
2. Give me the option to not use "Windows Explorer Proper" when I'm browsing through my files. I also want my little "up a directory" button back!
3. I want an OS that is compatible with my Server 2K3 file server right out of the box. I don't want to have to put up with the fact that I have to apply a hotfix to it just to get acceptable transfer rates.
4. Give me the option to truly uninstall shit that I don't use instead of simply disabling it. I'm not going to run IIS, telnet server, or anything named with Windows as the leading word in the list to enable/disable features. So why not let me liberate some of my hard drive space?
5. I want a real login screen. Not the cartoonish XP Home-style login screen. Logging into a domain was a lot easier when I could just select the domain name from a dropdown list.
6. Don't make me feel bad when I upgrade from 512MB of memory to 2GB and the Windows Experience Meter or whatever the hell it's called doesn't move because I can't run Vista Aero bling as well as the latest and greatest machine.
[/vent] I really had to get that off my chest. I feel better now.
Router#config t Router(config)#no sunspot degradation
If you had put this in you wouldn't have these issues. Sunspot interference is turned on by default. But after you disable it, the case acts like a Faraday Cage so you won't have to worry about pesky radiation interfering with your lan/wan operations.
In reality though, I suppose Cisco equipment does have some stuff enabled yet not configured by default that I would rather it not.
Microsoft's Windows Live messenger, photo gallery and email suite are pre-installed on the the machine Thanks Slashdot! You just gave me a list of shit that needs uninstalled should I ever decide to get one of these machines!
Yeah but all someone has to do is start a rumor of a cave-dwelling blind mongoose or something like that and our cave-dwelling days would be numbered.Of course, they would never be able to see the mongoose due to the fact that we won't be able to use fire to warm ourselves, let alone use for torches. Global warming! Hell! The claim of the cave-dwelling blind mongoose would be the rumor that kills us all.
Unfortunately, many of those people would not have the common sense to ground the tinfoil so it would act like a Faraday Cage. Instead, it would act as a giant antenna and they would be hearing the Top 40 in their fillings.
Well, the hippies want us all to live in caves. Hunting wouldn't be allowed as it's not animal friendly. You can squat bare-assed in the dirt, but wiping your ass afterwards would only be allowed if the leaves you use were already dead. No fire either because that isn't friendly to our woodland friends because we would be destroying a vital piece of their habitat... a few sticks. In a way, that means we would go back to a pre-caveman society.
These sound more like idle state figures for power consumption. I'm thinking that under moderate load, you're figures are quite on the conservative side.
I suppose you're right that the absurdity is lost when not in the right context. Now for some background.
This guy was a D student in the EE program, which made everyone else wonder why he didn't choose a more fluffy degree. Straight D's on a report card is really nothing to gloat about but he did anyway. He had a bad case of foot-in-mouth disease. He would say stuff like in my example in just plain outbursts in class. The example given is one of his least offensive, sexist, racist remarks. Yes, there were women present. No, he wasn't kidding. He left no room for argument as he thought what he was saying was wise and absolute. I kinda miss having that guy around to rip on.
I kid you not, an engineering student said the following quote that absolutely dumbfounded me and all who heard it. It was not a shock to anyone that he flunked-out.
"You know why we need more women in engineering? Because women are hot. The End."

What about the Antikythera mechanism?

Did anyone else find the map to be totally useless? It seems to me that the map more represents population density.
Here you go!

He now flips burgers for a living.
In their study, I was the outlier. I'm sorry to disappoint you.

Is it just me or does it seem like anything posted having to do with politics or religion turns into a mod point black hole?
Read Parent for the other 3 steps.
My degree may have been in business instead of engineering, but I do know how to count.

Wait, that's Chris Kattan, a different kind of white little person star.
There. Made it more PC.
