Real, well we know they (also?) arrogant twits, with suspicious morals (based on past behaviour). And Apple, well everybody knows they always charges 10 times more for a product simply because its called "Apple"
No it doesn't (unless you have a different book that the rest of us). The book says "But the smile was already fading, and in a moment it was gone, and the sag of his face was like a rubber mask melting. Louis Wu showed his age."
Nessus says he has a physique of a man of twenty, true, but that's not the same. We know Louis Wu keeps fit is an exercise nut and takes boosterspice, so he's in a good physical shape. But that doesn't mean he looks 20.
Because most of the moderators here are idiot QlQueda sympathisers who only accept one worldview: THEIRS - everything else is wrong and will not be tolerated. What they really want is a mod option called "unclean"..

None for me. Windows Installer supports installation rollbacks, so failures restore the system exactly back to the state before installation began.
Which is crap. I don't need that. I'll remove that is to be removed thank you. I don't need megabytes of bloat on the harddrive with copies of everything that went before.
There is also built-in package repair because Windows Installer keeps track of installed components.
Which always amounts to reinstall everything and reboot. Your statement that Windows Installer adds a ton of crap your C drive which are not related to the actual program being installed is also unproven.
If you don't know this simple fact you are not really competent to comment at all. I track installs, and i noticed it everytime they use the bloatware installers such as Installshield.
If you want small and fast installers with tools such as Inno Setup, by all means go ahead and use them, but they do make things more difficult for network administrators.
Ghost a standard image and install from there, no need to uninstall anything.
1) My computer, my data, my choice. DRM snake oil providers can deal with it. The future won't tolerate the crap these copywrite perverters are trying to enforce, may as well wake up now before it's too late.
You wish. In all likelyhood your dream is entirely wrong.
More interesting is... how old will they make Louis Wu? After all most US tv seems aimed at the too damn young, so he'll probably be... what 40? That's ancient by their standards... *sigh in advance*
If there are no benefits, then don't use it. I use and like it because of the benefits.
Are you being deliberately obtuse? I have NO DAMN CHOICE, because other people use it and how the heck can you install something without using the installer they chose to provide?
Funny, I still don't know what megabytes of bloat you're referring to.
Why is that funny? Have you done anything to enlighten yourself? No. There is your clue right there. (I'm not going to install something just so i can start listing the files for you)
It is possible you only consider it bloat if it is more than several gigabytes, but as far as i'm concerned, 1 BIT more than is required is bloat, especially when you have a small C partition.
But i guess if buying large harddrives isn't a problem (especially if someone else pays) people don't care anymore.
Like I said, the bloat, if it exists, is negligible.
Well, you won't find me agreeing with your viewpoint becuse you repeat it 20 times.

Use Nullsofts NSIS instead. Has always been free and SMALL - its not the bloatware of the windows installer or installshield for that matter, which add a ton of crap your C drive which are not related to the actual program being installed.
All registrats who don't care should lose their ability to register names! So many times i've complained about faulty information to some registra, and their reply was "there is nothing we can do about" - well if not you who the fuck else! Idiots.

Actually the demo scene was always on the Amiga. Originally the PC was so far behind it neede a space telescope to see the dust.
...that zip drive i bought never worked a damn :-/
...before such a sign is the cause of accidents because they distract the drivers.
... but there is no way i'd store my mail on their servers, not the important stuff anyway.
;)
Though if i can make a 1gb attachment to myself then that'll be a handy way to store stuff

Probably followed by a lawsuit the day after.
Luckilly, the compiler (UCC) and everything else you need is all included in the box
Except the documentation...

Well they're thinking of using the actor who played Jar-Jar...
Problem is, he was rather expensive. And they keep harping on about how they are a poor little channel.
I know magic can be worked if you have the money, but do they have enough?
It's called having an opinion different from yours.

They want $US360,000 pr episode! And the people making it could probably pay that because they are also greedy fucks. Damn, its a rotten world.
And I dont watch the Simpsons.
