If you unplug the power cord and make the laptop go to battery power, it will give up applying the rest of the updates. You'll then have to apply them the next day when you shut down.
I did that for about a week until I actually had enough time to sit there and watch it finish installing updates and shut down.
You do know that Visa and Mastercard use the same network, right?
The MC option probably would have worked just fine.
The damn thing still should have taken quarters, though, but we'll assume it didn't because you would've needed $20 worth of them or some crap like that.
Any derivative works, even if the origin was known already, are property of that first respective user.
Sorry, but no. The original is copyrighted by the original creator. Derivative works are the property of whoever created the derivative work. It's possible that the derivative could not be distributed because of the original artwork's copyright, but the original artist does not own the derivative work- only the original.
Design Engineering's 'article' looked like a cheap hack of a press release to me... If it wasn't, it was blatant plagarism- look at the wording of the two pages.
Every native control in Windows has its own window handle. There's a zillion window handles available, and this lets you do some pretty funky things if you want to have some fun coding. For that reason, I wouldn't call it stupidity- it's just by design. (It's not a bug, it's a feature! Stop complaining or we'll charge you extra for it.)

It's as simple as that (almost). U.S. law says that it's yours if you wrote it on your own time. The stories are owned by whoever wrote them, and so are the comments. If you designed the artwork (and it doesn't infringe on any university copyrights), it's yours too. Granted, it was their server, so they could wipe the thing if they wanted... but any backups are yours, and there's no way they'd win in court if they wanted to stop you from posting them.
As for you getting kicked out of school- I don't know all that much about your situation, obviously... Good luck, and I hope the bastards screw themselves over pretty damn good. There might be a good chance of you winning a lawsuit if they kick you out over some other people's postings... but like you said, it's Utah...
Why IE when there first was Netscape. And both were based on Mosaic.
IE was based off NCSA Mosaic. Netscape was written from scratch. But you're still right about Microsoft buying up everything and slapping their name on it. =)
I mean, how else could Windows 2000 Server be so much more stable than the NT4 version? Come on now. Microsoft coming up with original code? Really now!
Well actually, it's not GPL'ed software... They 'borrowed' parts of the TCP/IP stack from *BSD... If you remember reading a while back... and since the BSD license lets companies use code for free... Ah well... I hope BSD gains a little more market share and kicks them in the ass.
The web site I used to run for my high school was taken down shortly after I graduated so 'professionals' could handle it. Over a year later, the New Holstein School District web site still isn't much to look at... Actually, it isn't anything at all. It kept getting defaced, so the so-called 'admin' just deleted all of the pages and let it sit. Anyone wanna hack it to put a page back up? It's really annoying seeing nothing when you go there. Maybe put a big pic of a holstein cow or something up there. I don't hack, just code... Otherwise I'd consider doing it. I'd hack it to FIX the damn site though... Stupid admins that can't patch a freakin' NT4 box for known issues...
When you actually speak with a user on the phone (or better yet see them face to face), you have a valuble opportunity to *educate* them so they won't repeat their mistake. Sure, you can send them an email after you remotely fixed their problem, but they probably wont read it and they almost certainly wont retain anything from it. In fact, they learn better if you simply tell them what to do and let them actually execute the steps to fix it.
Yet again yesterday: "Hi... I'm getting an application path error - how do I map a network drive again? I should probably write this down so I don't have to call and ask you..." "Yes, you should write it down..." This is about the 10th time this person has done this... If she wouldn't click 'No' when Windows says it can't find the share to map to on boot, she wouldn't have this problem... but she always clicks no too, no matter how many times I tell her otherwise...
Oh- She's not the only one. I just love my job... by the way, we make all of our customers buy LapLink or pcAnywhere for remote suppport (we're a software company).
I believe Ramp Networks was the original inventor of these contraptions- at least they were the first one I'd heard of. They've been around for years. Anyone wanna buy my WebRamp 200i? It's got a 56K internal modem, serial port for another external, 4 10M ports, 250 DHCP addresses, blah blah blah... This isn't news.
Bess and tracking individual users

Bess is set up as a simple proxy server, so the only way to track anything in a school-type environment where computers just have blocks of private IP's is to track by IP address. That would narrow it down by computer, but the same user probably isn't going to use the same computer all of the time. Plus, if DHCP is being used, there goes even that much, unless they're doing something stupid like querying the machine for its MAC address. I don't see the point though.
N2H2 is still a bunch of bastards though. I had to put up with their crappy filtering software for 2 years. It blocked useful information, yet let me look up plans on how to make bombs... yeah, I really needed to be 'filtered'.
It turns out that Win95 has a problem with AMD chips faster than 350MHz, and will not boot. MS has released a patch; I had to underclock the motherboard to bring it below 350MHz in order to install it.
If you would have installed it in Safe Mode, as the instructions tell you to, you wouldn't have had to underclock the thing. =)
Wellllll... If it ain't geeky enough for Slashdot, but it's something to do with society, submit it to Kuro5hin. (Is that where I read the story about the kid in Canada; probably the same one?)
Go find one and I'll move there... Make sure there isn't an active volcano on it, make it reasonably warm... No ugly tidal waves or hurricanes... a decent amount of space... Aaaand... I suppose we're gonna need solar/wave/wind power to keep things running... and what about bandwidth? We NEED bandwidth. Any ideas?

The Union (and Congress along with it) were being dissolved as well by that point.
The Dell Axim X50 (PDA) is pretty sweet. The X3s and X5s weren't that great, but Dell seems to have gotten their act together.
Their computers aren't that great anymore, but for your basic office PC, they're a sweet deal.
The MC option probably would have worked just fine.

You're stuck with the problem- it's a flaw in Windows. I've only seen it in 98, but it could be in ME as well.
Search for a program called AboutTime and use that to keep your clock somewhat accurate.

Their sub-pixel addressing scheme replaces ClearType- just in case you missed that.

Wait a minute...
The guy obviously doesn't know how to admin an NT box from the Recovery Console... That much is true.
But what the hell does FAT/NTFS have to do with Registry rot?
I ripped that CD using CDex (full paranoia mode)... no troubles here either.
CDex with LAME works great too. =)
I seem to recall most of my CDs having an average of 11 or 12 songs. That would make it closer to 540 albums- quite a difference.

Noooo... They float because they're made of wood! That's why you burn them.
Outlook's a bitch with multiple accounts, especially if some are MS Exchange and some are POP3/SMTP... Outlook Express works fine, however.
