The updates fell out of step with the IIS versions.
And so many things didn't work compared to the IIS version that we dropped the whole 'we host frontpage' idea because it was too much time in support explaining the differences to frontpage users who, quite reasonably, just wanted it to work like it says in the instructions.
And then you still have "why don't my database controls work" to contend with.
fp on Unix was a poisoned chalice as far as we were concerned.
what will be surprising is that once the fist iteration is shipped Microsoft keeps the updates flowing - Frontpage extensions for Apache on Unix anyone?
Newspapers cannot comment on a trial such that information revealed would predjudice the outcome of someone on trial. i.e. reporting that the accused has a criminal record.
That newspapers cannot comment on unsolved crimes is untrue.
For instance one of our serial killers was called Fred West. He never went to trial because he committed suicide in custody but many of the details of the case we revealed in the media during the investigation. The press published pictures of the bodies being removed from the scene etc.
Local news reporting on trials will give the name of the accused, his/her area of residence but not the house number.
Parliament does have what is called a "DA Notice" [formerly "Schedule D Notice"] such that it can impose news blackouts.
The names of the accused and witnesses can be used in reporting with some exceptions [rape victims for instance].
It is unknown how widespread D Notices are because the procedure excludes it's own reporting too.
It's a time honoured tradition that when correcting the spelling and grammer in the writing of others one should make at least one spelling mistake in the post. This gives the feeble minded a chance to point it out.
Extra marks for mentioning that there are other languages in the world.
You see the joke is that the guy was bemoaning the quality of something he pays a third party to steal for him and yet his own quality of workmanship is called into question by that very same device. I could have followed your path and just whined about it but that would open me up to ridicule and scorn, waking the policeman that sleep within. As you will see from '+5 Funny' my parody was deemed sucessful by my peers.
I appreciate your concern for the health of my digestive system.
Is that, with CCD jamming in place, the best way to pirate the on screen movie will be via a 16mm analogue film camera and then teleciné to digital back at base !
I made the mistake of reading your post. It was such low quality. It bad phrasing and not much point. Even the spelling was poor. With digital dictionaries available on the 'net there's no need to do that any more. I saw the English version (substandard) while it was still dynamic.
I'm firmly of the opinion that the DRM features are present in the XBox as a practice run.
They can hone their skills on known hardware.
Thus being cracked and modded is a successful operation for them. They even get practice on how to oil the wheels of litigation.
All this with not much reputation to lose, after all it's *only* a games console.
Once they've got it sorted out with their own hardware design they will be in a position to know how to issue "DRM Compiant" certificates for motherboards, for a fee. Then we'll be paying an MS tax on hardware without anyone arguing about pesky OS's. Their patent on DRM OS's may mean that there'll be another license fee to pay should *your* OS want to use the DRM facilities built into *your* motherboard.
No; it's also for people who want me to want a half hour to get my mail over my modem, so I can get the exact same message but with lots of HTML tags. (And invariablly lots of HTML tags - it never bears any resemblence to clean hand-written HTML.)
so you'd prefer me to send you a png attachement, or maybe an html document in a gzip? It seems like you are troubled by the poor use of HTML email not HTML email par se.
And what happens when you need to make a change to that form? Why not just stick it your own private webspace?
It's a little thing called 'convenience'. It aids workflow. I know it's only a little step but imagine getting a letter saying "there's a picture on the noticeboard, go look at it". HTML improves the flow of communication. People are not always great at mentally task switching and when they are "reading their email" firing up a browser breaks that task.
Ah, yes; the wonderous feeling of "you crossed my mind, but I couldn't be bothered to walk to the store for a _real_ birthday card".
I'll take that as a "no". Last time I looked I couldn't embed sound and video in a store bought card.
Again, it's the immediacy that's makes the difference. Imagine opening your card and getting a note "your card is on the table" and looking to the table there is your card on public display.
Email is a provate thing, the web is a public thing. Even if it's on the LAN the psychology of it makes a difference.
I fail to see how this could be made richer by adding HTML.
For in that sleep of death, what dreams may come
HTML seems to be used as a means to doodle on the email, rather then add any information or emotional empact.
So what? Should we be disallowed enjoyment because *you* can't see any benefit?
Why do webs sites use colour, graphics, mark up, tables etc. etc. ?
because people like them
Now I do concur that having HTML mail on by default is a crazy idea. 99% of the HTML mail I receive is either better as plain text or better to not get at all.
but to suggest I should be "the first against the wall" because I want to send an HTML christmas card to my friends is short sighted, rude, offensive and promotes banality.

Gun ownership is protected because what was true yesterday is not true today and what's true today isn't true tomorrow.
Violent crime is a symptom of a sick society.
Anyone that can't see that needs shooting!
Since we're willing to butcher them and eat them, there shouldn't be any ethical objection to butchering them for parts.
I'm not willing to butcher them & 'harvest' them for food any more than I could stick a gun in *your* ribs and harvest your wallet.
But it no surprise that a society that doesn't treat all of it's citizens with dignity would come up with such an horrific idea.

File access is via a dedicated server
Authentication for file access to the fileserver is from a dedicated server.
Users log into a third group of machines - CPU servers.
Local access means nothing. You can't escalate your privileges because there are none to escalate to.

When my dada used to go to the local cinema it had rats that would run along the bottom of the screen. They are not called 'flea pits' for nothing.
Consider yourself lucky. As a tip though, go during a working day, they are generally less crowded.

To be, or not to be, that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune;
people who send HTML mail are going to be the first against the wall when the revolution comes.
Congratualations on a thoroughly short-sighted viewpoint.
HTML email is not just for spammers.
The ability to send HTML forms to employees is a boon among other benefits.
Maybe you've never shared the joy of sending an HTML birthday card to your child or parent.
Perhaps sending A4 pngs around would be more to your liking?
The ability to communicate with the richness of HTML expression should be embraced and standardised not spurned.
aw, well. smash the HTML presses
