1.0PR brought up some error about the Java plug-in being incompatible with Internet Explorer
This means you changed your User Agent string to spoof as IE. Sun's JRE isn't smart enough to grasp this, and freaks out. Change your user agest string back and this will go away.
Yes, I RTFA, and Jesus H. Christ on a stick, that's a worthless article. I'm sending the site an email, I want those 5 minutes of my life back. As any high school geek could have said, the article boils down to the BIOS is still limited to Real Mode 8086 emulation, and thus everything until an OS kicks in is limited to this as well, as hopefully 80% of/.ers know. Then, it goes on to say EFI solves this. Not how, no technical details, aside from you can boot from USB devices (as you can with some modern BIOSs) without emulating a disk device.
Worthless article. I could have gotten that from the Intel EFI press releases put out FOUR YEARS AGO.
I was surprised things went as smoothly as they did for me. I'm still hobbling along with a Voodoo3. Windows doesn't like the non certified drivers, but they work perfectly. The only caveat I have for SP2 is the absolutely god-awful "Windows Security Center". If you have an AV and a Firewall, tell WSC to sod off. It doesn't always recognize Norton AV even with norton's Patches (I'll say due to MS before I blame Symantec, I'm mean like that) and it doesn't support Sygate at all yet (it does handle ZoneAlarm, but I switched to SyGate, and now push that on all my clients instead of ZA, I'm that happy with it), etc. Plus, It's buggy, and a security hole in itself. It stores AV and Firewall data in an easily accessable file, and could even theoretically let a worm turn these features off. Also, until I disabled it it kept telling me I had no firewall, even though I kept telling it not to check any of those things (that setting just would NOT be saved after a reboot). Thankfully, it's a breeze to disable. Go to the Services console (In the Admin Tools in Control Panel), and find "Security Center". Right click, select properties. Stop the service, and set it to "Disabled". Then enjoy the rest. It's a tiny bit faster to me, actually, than SP1.
No, "Right to Work" was correct. It's a political term like "Partial Birth Abortion" (not the actual medical term) or "PATRIOT Act" (anything but patriotic). It "protects" employees from having to join unions, in case they choose not to enjoy the protects many unions provide, and instead give all that power back to the employer. It's just a set of union-breaking laws given a nice name.
Pretend "APNG" is spelled "GIF04" and your solution is here.
No, it wouldn't be easier, because your suggestion is essentially creating a new format (been done) and just CALLING it a new GIF format.
Well, we _can_ but the interactions of 9 planets, a hundred moons, thousands of asteroids, etc., becomes so complex that our ability to accurately model it for (cosmically) significant periods of time is limited by computational power, thus we have to simplify the equations, and get accuracy to a more limited extent. Essentially, it's Hard(tm).
"Once you run all the windows update patches, and disable file sharing on your WAN adapter (or at least use a good password and disable the guest account), what's left for people to hack?"
Unknown RPC holes. WinXP still leaves several ports open to the world, and any of them could have unknown holes buried in the code.
ZoneLabs should be nervous. I switched to SyGate and found all my problems with online games vanished, BitTorrent is faster (didn't think that was possible), the traffic meter rocks, and my boot time is half as long as with ZoneAlarm. SyGate is just a better product than ZoneAlarm, and I used to swear by ZA.
I can't make heads nor tails of this sentence: " the next-gen interactive console will share entire set of raw materials and content production environment in it, unlike current pre-rendered content playback machines."
Can someone translate this for me? Between the bad grammar and Zero-Wing like sentence structure, I'm lost.
" Plumbers, carpenters, mechanics, or pretty much any tradesman, are expected to have their own tools."
Not when you start for the first few years with company provided materials. This is the equivalent of a secretary having her desk taken away after a few years, "bring in your own desk if you don't like working on the floor." Or a bus driver being told to bring his own bus. Would you call them spoiled? This was a change in his job requirements made ex post facto, with no input form him whatsoever, and no recalculation of compensation. McDonald's employees are made aware they must pay for the uniform BEFORE being hired. Same with your other exployment options.
I think you may have missed his point. He wasn't advocatinf loyalty, he was advocating reciprocity. If in the bad times the company was good to you, repay them with similar treatment when times are good. If when times were bad they squeezed you because they knew you would have a very hard time leaving, then when times are good, inform them you expect more compensation or you'll walk. And then keep that promise if they don't pony up. Golden Rule type stuff, but in reverse. Do unto others as they have done unto you.
I still have my license even today, as I am a vendor of services which are still taxable. So I escaped paying taxes on the printers, but did charge taxes on my client, as we both have an offiuce in the same state (no mail-order tricks). I just added it in with my quarterly payment for taxed services.:)
I did just that. In 2000, I had a web development client who knew I used to be in sales/service of PC equipment. So, he approached me about a dozen systems across a couple of his offices. System, with monitor, and printer, ready to go. I ordered a dozen boxes and monitors, and set one up, and ghosted the other 11, tested them all, and it was great, easy money, and I shipped the boxes directly to the offices where they needed to go, using his corporate shipping account.
But then came the printers. Well, a local Staples was having a sale on a perfect unit. I'd charged $100 for them, and these Canon printers were normally $90 each. Taht would have been $120 profit on 12, but there was a $30 in store instant rebate, AND a $30 mail-in rebate on each one too, bringing my efective cost down to $30 per unit. I figured even if I never saw the rebates, it was still $40 profit per printer alone, not to mention the computers. I sent in all 12 rebate coupons with the receipts and serial number stickers (there were copies in the box for just such a purpose), and waited. A mere two weeks later I received a dozen $30 checks from Canon in my mailbox, all on the same day.
You'd be astounded how loose they are with checking multiple rebates. I just did it again a couple weeks ago with 4 Netgear wifi routers.
I totally agree. I think about return policies too before purchasing an item. Anytime I see "returns for company credit only" or somethign to that effect of not getting your money back I won't buy from them. It tells me that they don't care about the customer, only my money, and want to trap me if I have a problem.
IIRC, didn't Symantec get a patent on this very idea a year ago, relating to it's LiveUpdate system, but promised not to enfore it? I mean, it was a stupid patent then, but apparently the bar is even lower now. Not only can you patent things you didn't invent and with plenty of prior art, you can patent stuff that's already been patented!

No no no, her name was Mulva.
His only defense is that he's nuts.

Sanity?
An alternative, yet equally funny answer would have been "SCO?"
That Enzyte not to be confused with this Enzyte...
Actually, I'm not a fan of all unions. I think some unions are just as corrupt as many employers. But I don't like political distortions more.

Redmond is the name of a gy in charge of the project at HP, they're not referring to Redmond Washington, home to the Microsoft hive.

Since no one can see it, we all have to guess. I'd wager it's either a carphone antenna mount, or maybe a GPS navigation system antenna link.

Yikes. Well, to be clear to all the Federal Spy Monkies, this was legal. I bought the printers at retail. I just happened to resell them as a favor. :)
