  1. Re:No different than trusting a closed source vend on Microsoft Issues Zero-Day Attack Alert For Word · · Score: 1

    One more reason for me to stick with Word 5.1a, for writing term papers (like that's ever going to happen again). 'Course, this (and SMAC/X) will keep me from moving to Intel based Mac.

    They said this one affects Office/Word 2004 on Mac as well. I wonder what the exploit does on a Mac?

    I remember seeing CD's back in '93. Already, they were too small for my porn collection. Ah, giffy girls; you're so low-rez now.

    Luxury. My laptop would run out of power 45 minutes before I started it, explode, stab me to death with bread knives and then dance about on my grave singing Hallelujah. And that was if we were lucky!

    Which runs fine on W2K. At my work, with around 16k of windows machines, we're just now finishing up moving from W2K to XP. Most of our machines are 2GHz/512MB/128MB video. IE7 tentative rollout is set for Sept. '07, though it may be pushed back as they test it against close to 1000 custom web apps. Vista is not scheduled for any rollout in 2007. The CTO's trying to figure out where they'll get money for RAM or if they'll wait for the 5 year replacement schedule to handle Vista rollout.

    Heh, I had that attitude about Camry's back in the mid 80's, when I dated a girl driving one. I, of course, had the über-cool '72 Nova.

    Wish I could find a decent 2 door Nova now, for under $1000.
