  1. YEAH!!!! on EU Competition Commission Investigating Win2k · · Score: 1

    And make 'em put all of them up at a website. One open to everybody. I got it! call it MSDN, and have the website at msdn.microsoft.com and make them put out a GIANT SDK, with LOTS of example code and help files! And you're right about those super-secret FrontPage extensions... Those are more super secret than the Colonel's 27 herbs and spices and the Big Mac secret sauce combined! They should have to publish them all in an RFC, like ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc2518.txt.

    Oh, I'd bet you're right. They probably had several testers sitting around eating pizza:

    Tester 1:"Did you see that bitchin' bug when you click down on that button?"

    Tester 2:"Yeah, but we aren't going to fix it. Nobody ever clicks that button."

    Unfortunately, Linux lags WAY behind in the seamless integration that even buggy betas of Rhapsody had."

    I installed Corel Linux last weekend. Fast install. Only one reboot. The UI sucks, redraws (on a P133/64MB) take too long, severe UI inconsistancies. Windows or the MacOSX are light years away from any Linux shell.

    But why the heck should you have to do that?!?!?! Press two buttons to get the functionality provided by ONE on the PC? That, like the iMac iRSI iMouse is a truly bizarre design.

    And the quality (as I've pointed out before when someone mentioned this) will follow suit. A DVD burned off a VHS master is much like a CD dubbed off an original LP. Worthless.

    Correcting you:

    "a stock split puts twice as many shares on the market. Each share will be worth half as much, but the shareholders will own twice as many shares in the company."

    Sorry - but there is a difference.

  21. You make me laugh. I shall keep you. on Audi Pulls Website Because Of Y2K · · Score: 1

    Subaru Impreza RS toasting an A4? Laughable. The build quality differences alone make an Audi customer != a Subaru customer.

    For starters, they aren't even in the same class. The Audi, at best, is a competitor with the Legacy.

    With the 1.8T, the A4 is barely behind the 2.5 in the RS. With the 2.8 (what most quattro drivers choose), all the Impreza driver will see is taillights. And the A4 1.8T is only $2500 more, btw.

  23. Yup on Server Uptimes Ranked · · Score: 1

    Look for event 6009 in the event log, that's the NT ver number that gets written just after the eventlog service starts - a MUCH better indicator than all the uptime POS apps that clock out after 49 days (I have an NT server that, since SP5 was applied, has been running for 80 days).

    Anyone who criticizes Windows 2000 for having a short uptime right now is clueless. How does a non-released, updated tri-weekly OS POSSIBLY maintain an uptime of more than a few weeks???

    Watch after people deploy it next year - THAT will be the true test.

  24. Uh, no. Not quite, there, champ. on MSFT thanks Linux Programmer for paying $35 Fee · · Score: 1

    Technically speaking, the domain name is the property of the part (sic) who OWNS the domain.

    If I was late for my mortgage, and someone, for some weird reason, paid for it, the title is still in my name. If Channey (sic) wanted to own the domain, as you are insisting he now does, he should have waited until it expired, not until it was merely being held by Network Dissolutions.

    It would do you well to get a little bit more legal knowledge (and perhaps have a dictionary or thesaurus handy when typing messages) before making incorrect, grammatically/typographically challenged posts.
