If you want to write specific proprietary stuff to be used by for-pay clients, write binary code. If you're going to use a standard, stick to the standard.
I really do hope that's backwards. As I hear it: "Liquor up front, poker in the rear" My way also adds a clandestine, almost speakeasy feel to the poker playing (gambling more recently being illegal in many places, it tends to fit better). Then again, in a REAL speakeasy, yours might be more accurate.
Despite open source ramblings, security through obscurity can be one component of an effective security system. NEVER rely on it, but it's great for extra insurance.
I'm involved in teaching people who have little experience with computers and networks how to use them. They don't know a lot of the terminology. The problem is, they don't care to know it. They, like many in management, want to throw money at a problem and hope it goes away. The result that I see is that this gets them a lot of incompatible proprietary "solutions" that don't do what they want, though they're out a lot of money for it.
I don't know what the solution is. They refuse education, instead preferring someone simply telling them something will work and being frustrated later.
It depends on the way you disable it and other conditions. If (God forbid!) you're logged on as administrator (and running Explorer, let alone IE? I'd almost say you deserve what you get . . ), you will be prompted. If the administrator has set it as a policy, I know, and possibly if they've set it for you, you will not be prompted. I have about 100 systems running right now that don't download ActiveX and do not prompt, running stock IE 6.0 (it ran the same way under IE 5.0 and 5.5 also).
I like HP printers. And drivers. They work best, in my opinion. I would consider buying a new printer every two years any way (I'm almost at two years on my current hp inkjet, and I have plenty of ink left).
Eh, if you simply create and run from a user account, this is how it works. (oh, you have to be using NTFS, but nobody in their right mind uses FAT on hard drives any more)
You can get a DC ATX power supply for about $35, that plugs into the ATX socket on any motherboard (but is made to fit the topology of EPIA mini-itx boards). That's still a lot cheaper.
I've learned that many bands/musicians often make poor choices with technology. I see far too many web sites that only have a flash movie, and no information. Many others try to insist I use their favorite browser or proprietary binary-only media player. It seems that the original artist usually knows another artist that ran FrontPage once, or owns a macintosh, and believes they know everything about making web pages. The first artist believes them, and gets stuck with a web page completely contrary to purpose of the internet.
This is rich. I think I am starting to like SCO. Kinda in the way you liked the nerd in middle school, and would save the special lunch money theft for him.
I have used whois information several times. For example, when the posted webmaster address (or webmaster@) doesn't work, I can email a (hopefully) known good email address.
Under Windows I heard it's nastier though, with requirements for Active Directory (uh ?) and admin access to the PDC. FUD. You heard wrong. You can install standalone DNS on NT. AD needs to be integrated with DNS, but DNS doesn't need AD, except to store AD zones.

Because the person that owned the billboard told them that they could, and it's only visible to them any way.
Disable automatic activeX control download. Problem solved. Also gets rid of annoying flash garbage.
You can't plug in someone elses computer and expect it to work; yet, they're functionally equivalent, No? Actually, selling aftermarket ECUs is a big business. It's done all the time. http://scc.primediaautomotive.com/archives/insidet ech/insidetech01_0302.shtml for an example.

You missed the obvious "penile" joke too.
FUD plain and simple. I downloaded it today with just an HTTP link. Didn't even have to go through a web site.
What did they do with the shavings?

It's still proprietary and laden with security issues. And it still won't touch any of my systems.

But setting that up would require thought. That's mutually exclusive with other requirements of being a politician.
I bet you could get away with deguassing only one, after they were welded together. :)
Up to version 1.2. I don't believe it was available in the most popular, 1.666

How are you supposed to get a copy if it's slashdotted?

Yeah, you have to watch out for Nigerians on here.
