If the patch changes the behaviour then the patch probably caused the problem. You could argue that Zone Alarm was poorly coded but then again why was MS' product allowing them to write bad code in the first place.
I know most casual users think an OS should have everything they need but MS really should cut out all the crap and focus on a rock solid OS that doesn't allow sloppy coding because yes it is their fault still even if ZA was poorly coded just as you'd also be in trouble if you sit by quietly and allowed your partner to molest children or worse yet vote for McCain.
Yahoo's messenger and MSN are two of the larger messengers and if MS locks them in together and then tries to tie those users into their other services then it might be a benefit along with MS actually having a search engine someone uses.
Valusoft is a division of THQ (game publisher) that sells cheap software which includes both games and productivity software. I'm assuming they've arranged some sort of deal to be able to distribute Ubuntu to retailers.
AFAIK, it's not only being sold at best buy but at Amazon and other places.
He actually said a modern city needs it. He used the Amish to show that human communities don't need them *even today*.
Well except for the fact the Amish do use. Just not as much as us and probably to keep their special status which means they don't have to fight in wars or pay as much tax. It's really annoying living around a group of people who "drive" something that completely screws up the road yet they don't pay anything towards road maintenance.
And you think the phone company and electric company make money running service out to some farm in the middle of no where?
It's always been a case that rural areas aren't money makers but certain things are deemed necessary. Which is why everyone can get phone and electric (if they want it) but not everyone can get cable.
Broadband is more in line with phone and eletrical services than it is cable TV so it should be an option for everyone.
Sanitation is not "necessary infrastructure". Electricity is not "necessary infrastructure". Telephone lines are not "necessary infrastructure". The Amish show all this quite well.
As someone who lived around the Amish I can tell you this is a complete lie.
The Amish do use cars, phones and refrigerators. The only difference is they don't use their own or put it on their property. They will all agree to pay for a phone and then find someone who will allow them to put it on their land so it's not on Amish land. They pay locals for lifts in their cars. The Amish do use electricity. I can only imagine how the local Amish shop would have managed in the winter with no lights.
The Amish society is becoming more inbred and dying off because they are so backwards and they know that hence the reason they've been making these changes to their way of life over the decades. Just because you watched Witness doesn't mean you know how Amish people live.

Because the head first books ease you into the language and are literally for beginners. Imo, there is a difference between learning OO programming with no experience and moving from from OO language to another and people with no experience need more hand holding usually.
One argument people have against the Head first series is how many pictures and other supposedly pointless material is in the books but it's all about repetition and makes it a bit more fun to read which is what most newbies will want rather than something that feels a bit more dry and is like reading a tech manual. So even if it doesn't have as much info, if it keeps you hooked, then it gives you a good start.
That might make sense aside from the fact the war started with France (since it was their colony) and Kennedy took us in there long before Nixon was president.
That's just being dumb. For starters meat isn't unhealthy. Excessive portions might be unhealthy but that is different.
Secondly most of those things won't hold you back in society. Drugs can hold you back but again it comes down to excess and nature will take care of those with little to no self control soon enough.
We don't offer every sort of phone system or electrical system that has ever been around. The whole infrastructure gets upgraded and for good reason. The internet is a utility as well and should be left to hold people back just because some people are happy with something that's outdated or because companies don't want to spend the money rolling out broadband.
Every city, town and village has some people that want broadband. Should they go without just because half the town doesn't want it? No and it's still logical to say people don't don't want broadband don't know what they're missing out on and more importantly what they will be missing out on in the future.
Guns, yoga and mixed marriages won't stop you from using software, watching movies or listening to music but that is the way the internet is heading and that means those people can't participate fully in society and that can potentially harm their education and chances at a decent future.
Even Amish people use phones and probably the internet but if we said their religion doesn't allow it and didn't roll phones out into Amish areas then they'd be worse off and the fact they don't use those items as much as us is why their society is becoming increasingly inbred and dying off.
That is what ignoring technological advances can do to a group. Meat and beer will not.
Plus having the telcos upgrade everyone to broadband doesn't mean they can't use their broadband the same way they used their dial-up so there is no actual changing of their habits unlike banning alcohol, meat or a certain type of car.
In a lot of cases that might be right but saying someone should have dialup over broadband is like saying it's ok to eat your own testicles.
Secondly pandering to these people only encourages companies to not roll broadband out all over the US and that will severely limit people in the near future if not now.
Dialup will be really cool when movies, music, games, etc cease to be on physical media.
They only think they don't need it. Dialup usually ties up the phone while you use it and with sites becoming more graphic intensive that means you'll be on even longer tying up the phone or buying a second line and for that kinda money you might as well have broadband.
People who don't have broadband don't really want to be on the internet or don't value your time because so much of it is wasted farting about on a dialup modem.
Your computer must suck. Every day over lunch I end up having about 20 tabs open plus Lotus notes and any sort of combination of Dreamweaver, eclipse, photoshop, etc. and this computer isn't even naer top spec. My home computer is even older and I've had no issues.
Perhaps I just know how to take care of my computer more than others.;)
Of course not because they know if they undercut the rest then people won't leave GoDaddy and they can make up the money by cheating on their auctioned domains. So you've done exactly what they wanted.
Did you mom drop you on your head when you were born? Just because the American voting public is willing to be walked all over doesn't mean everyone wants to or should have to deal with it.
I think most of MS' issues come from his underlings. I foresee MS going down the shitter faster than it would have with him on board which, imo, is a good thing.
As a retirement gift, I'd give him a decent set of clothes. He needs that more than anything else I could possibly give him.
Windows update isn't that friendly for noobs and people who choose to install a new browser will probably be more technically inclined and take care of their software.

He's probably an illegal. They have no concept of the law as the law has nothing to do with stealing jobs and making babies.

I'd say IE7 XP isn't that bad to start up but in Vista it takes forever.

Doubt most MS users don't upgrade when they should.
I take it this is AOL's way of killing off ICQ then. The last time I used it was shortly after being envious of my friend's pentium 200mhz.
