You mean it won't spit out cryptic messages in white text on a blue background, displayed with a progress meter for the creation of todays incomprehensible MEMORY.DMP file? Seems like it's just not up to Microsoft's level.
This is to go along with their "Campfire Control." Whenever a group of Boy/Girl Scouts, YMCA campers, a family on vacation, etc., sits down and has a sing-a-long, the RIAA will have an enforcer present to throw poison ivy into the fire.
How are you getting it to talk to UNIX/Linux? We are testing SMS 2 right now, I haven't seen anything about inventorying *NIX. It would be nice to get SMS to do so.
So was that spam that hit my windscreen on the way to work today? I'm NOT gonna "packet-sniff" it to see if was a commercial ad or not, but it sure as hell was unsolicited.
No. Falcons are lean and fast. They are also efficient hunters. Microsoft will be using turkeys bred for the US holiday of Thanksgiving, for several reasons:
The birds name is synonymous with the usual quality of MS products.
They are so bloated with overfeeding (overfeaturing) that they can't stand up without breaking their own legs.
They make a big stink, and a lot of noise, but aren't really effective at anything but dying.
The process will be simple: MS will purchase several of the air cannons used to launch frozen poultry at aircraft windows to test for breaking point, and use those to launch the MS TIEE (Turkey Internet Enhanced Enabler) stack at any and all CPIP packets which get too close to Redmond, or any other MS campuses. And probably any QWest property now as well.
Until I talked my $ORK_PLACE into getting me a punch-down tool, I used a pocket-sized standard head screwdriver for 110 and 66 punch-downs. Works on keystone blocks, even the dog-shit ones from Belkin. Doesn't damage the Belkins the way a spring-loaded and bladed tool does. I use my Leatherman for stripping wire, it works better than any of the wire stripping tools I've tried. Just have to keep the blade sharp! And watch your fingers.
a) Send personal email messages to people, unsolicited, promoting my product.
You left out deceptive. Probably 90% of the spam I get has tried in some way, shape or form to conceal the the fact it is spam, and/or to conceal where and when it came from.
Don't you mean:
1. The computer knows all.
2. The computer is always right.
3. The computer loves you.
6. The computer sees everything.
4. The computer is in connttrrolll.
9. The computer wants all good things.
14. The computer will make things all better.
2. The computer cannot be questioned.
4. The computer is above you.
7. The computer makes you, thinks.
How big IS the Pentium 4 anyways? My claw hammer is about 10 inches long, to give me plenty of leverage when hammering nails. It also weighs in at right around a pound. Does this mean the Pentium 4 is about 20" across?
Very similar to Judge Dredd, huh? Except that, instead of those kick-ass guns that Dredd uses, the MS judge will pull out a giant, shifty-eyed paperclip which will poke you in various sensitive areas.
I haven't seen a BSOD on our Win2000 Pro installs yet, but I have seen it crash hard in two separate, reproducable instances.
When trying to change my NT Domain password and my Netware 5 NDS password at the same time using the password change function did not BSOD, but simply rebooted the PC without changing the password anywhere.
HP PrecisionScan 3.x and the HP official Win2000 drivers for the HP LaserJet 5/5M Standard printer do not get along. If the printer drivers have been on the PC at ANY TIME, even if they have been removed, running PrecisionScan reboots the PC. In addition, HP's crappy little MacroMedia installer program will reboot the PC when Autorun grabs it. If you skip the MacroMedia crap like anyone who is sick to death of HP's dog-shit quality installers, you can't get the install to complete. It will not accept any install location as valid.
Granted, the HP problem has to do with their arrogance any sloppy coding, but Win2000 is supposed to be so incredibly stable, it shouldn't let a minor program like that crash the PC.
It looks to me like NT 4.0 with either the Plus Pack installed or IE 4 w/Active Desktop, or both. Or, it could be a very early (read "smuggled") build of NT 5.0. They had NT 5 on display at ITEC in early 1998, and it looked like that, with the Win98/Plus Pack "sexy" icons.
Really. Isn't "IT" supposed to be so wonderful, change the world, take the smell out of diapers and make Dubya keep his campaign promises after all? I mean, "IT" is so great, we can't even be told what it is, but only who is working on "IT"?

TRON searches through data and if it finds something that shouldn't be there, it wipes it out.
It could even patrol the Master Control Program.

Not sure it would be better. I remember the transformer for my train set giving off a much more irritating whine than a PC fan.
