He stopped to pet a dog. It was brown with some black spots.
Following this, he whistled a few off-key bars from "Yankee-Doodle", then took out a stick of gum, unwrapped it, and placed it in his mouth. It is believed to have been a stick of "Juicy-Fruit".

Are you a suicide victim after you kill yourself? M$ brought this on themselves through their software quality (or lack thereof) and their failure to apply the fixes that supposedly fix the problem after laying the blame for this at the feet of all those who didn't. "Victim" just doesn't seem to fit.
Of course, how much of this whole discussion is Schadenfreude? (Of which I am gleefully participating in.)
Come on. Patching thousands of Windows PCs is a great deal more difficult than cutting a check for US $35.00 and mailing it to NetSol for the renewal of the PASSPORT.COM domain, so you can imagine how little chance there was of getting this done. Especially as how the patch DOESN'T fix the problem if URL redirection is being used on said IIS PC.
IIRC, it doesn't DROP the records, it simply does not retreive & display them after the table they reside in gets to be a certain size. 1000 records, 10,000 records? The records are still there, they just don't show up in query results.
Yep. That seems to directly contradict this prior section of the agreement:
RESELL THE SERVICE OR OTHERWISE CHARGE OTHERS TO USE THE SERVICE, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, OR
ON A BUNDLED OR UNUNBUNDLED BASIS. THE SERVICE IS TO BE USED SOLELY IN A PRIVATE RESIDENCE; LIVING QUARTERS IN A
HOTEL, HOSPITAL, DORM, SORORITY OR FRATERNITY HOUSE, OR BOARDING HOUSE; OR THE RESIDENTIAL PORTION OF A PREMISES WHICH
IS USED FOR BOTH BUSINESS AND RESIDENTIAL PURPOSES. WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, THE SERVICE IS
FOR PERSONAL AND NON-COMMERCIAL USE ONLY AND CUSTOMER AGREES NOT TO USE THE SERVICE FOR OPERATION AS AN INTERNET
SERVICE PROVIDER, A SERVER SITE FOR FTP, TELNET, RLOGIN, E-MAIL HOSTING, "WEB HOSTING" OR OTHER SIMILAR APPLICATIONS,
FOR ANY BUSINESS ENTERPRISE, OR AS AN END-POINT ON A NON-COMCAST LOCAL AREA NETWORK OR WIDE AREA NETWORK, OR IN
CONJUNCTION WITH A VPN (VIRTUAL PRIVATE NETWORK) OR A VPN TUNNELING PROTOCOL
Don't you love a provider that feels the need to scream at you, when they can't even find the states they do business in on the map?
Of course, dig into the agreement deeper, and it appears that the "Service" consists solely of the software they installed on your Windows PC or Mac. You could argue that since you are not using that software, you are not using the "Service" to run said servers, end-points, etc., but merely connecting to their network without using the "Service."
Man, all that needs is a Fifties "House of the Future" commercial set, and it will complete the look of the "Trashcan of the Future."
Seriously, that is one major eyecatcher.

And hopefully, in a couple of years, you'll get to setup web devices running a version of Netscape for Gates, Ballmer, Allchin and the others to watch through the bars while your guards surf the 'Net.

George Tirebiter which I believed readers would understand was a contrivance.
Well, since I went to high school with a guy named Mike Hunt, a name would have to be extremely obvious, much more so than "Tirebiter," to make me suspect a fake-that's-obviously-fake name. (His full name was Michael Steven Hunt, and he went by Steven.) There was also a family at a different school with the surname Homo. There are many, many interesting and different names out there, and as always: Ass-U-Me.
Tell that to my wife. Not a week goes by without her telling me to get rid of it. Just because it's 25+ years old, orange and has a '70's fabric texture. For 25+ years old, it's in great shape (not even a shred of duct tape yet), and is comfortable as hell.
We've got Herman Miller Reaction (TM) Highly Adjustable models here, and we paid ~$350 for them, IIRC. They are quite good.

It's not likely that they will in INDY, as they are too fscking stupid here. And I'm getting hit pretty hard here, the lights on my modem would give an epileptic one hell of a time.

But then again, they only say no to worry if you're running Windows 95, 98, ME or MacOS. Well, I'm running Linux and NetBSD, so I guess I should be worried, eh?

Hmm. Doesn't say WHICH company.
Oh it's there. It just can't be seen with certain queries. Display the full table, and you should be able to see it, IIRC.
My point was that the record was not dropped entirely, just hard to retrieve.
Read the post. They are running the Aache server, not Apache.
